Neither :)
Most lost vehicles strike mines first, after which they are abandoned. This applies to both sides, and perhaps more so to Ukrainian vehicles.
Seeing the masses of videos, ovr time, one comes to realize that the ubiquitous destruction videos are mainly of abandoned vehicles receiving the coup de grace. Most personnel losses are not going to show up on the drone videos.
May it be so
“If Ukrainians gain a stable bridgehead inside the village and push Russians out of the western side, Russian forces will automatically lose control over all trenches and fortifications north of Novoprokopivka, and, what is even more important, Ukrainians will reach the second line of defense on a 12-km section simultaneously.”
I didn’t mean that personally You(Ukes) - that was just a cute twist on the Biden lover’s support for Obama calling him the Czar of Ukraine;)
Get behind me Satan
“The end of this conflict will result in Russian troops being ejected from Transnistria.”
Thank you for info :)

Greece Might Send Leopard 1 Tanks to Ukraine
Ukrainska Pravda

Germany has approached Greece with an offer to send 100 currently in use Greek Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine, receiving in return upgraded armoured vehicles.
As reported by the Greek media Flight, in exchange for the old Leopard 1A5 tanks, Greece could receive upgraded tanks from Italian stocks on a one-to-one basis.
In this arrangement, Germany would cover the costs of a complete overhaul on Greek facilities or any other location chosen by the Greek government.
Additionally, these armoured vehicles would be equipped with modern thermal imagers, also used in Leopard 2 tanks. The tanks would also receive additional armour.
The only requirement from Germany is to provide functional tanks, as Greek Leopard 1A5 tanks have not been updated in any way for more than three decades.
The tank exchange could take place based on a three-way agreement. Ukraine could receive Greek BMP-1 vehicles in exchange for Germany providing Greek Marder 1 armoured vehicles.
Earlier, media reported that the Greek government decided to terminate the contract with Russia for maintaining the Tor-M1 and Osa-AKM air defence missile systems in service with the country’s army. It is speculated that these systems might be sent to Ukraine in the future.
In addition, Greece will participate in the training of Ukrainians on F-16 aircraft.
Either it’s very lucrative or she is bored out of her skull.
