13 Sep: Ukrainian Leopard Tank Single-Handedly STORMED Russian Tank Group | Ukraine War Update Ukrainian Armed Forces continue their advance on the southern front lines with western main battle tanks and armored vehicles.
Today clashes are intensifying on a section of the ΠΆ0803 highway passing near the settlements of Novodanylivka, Mala Tokmachka, Novopokrovka, Pavlivske, Novofedorivka, Verbove and Robotyne. This highway route runs southeast from Orikhiv and diverges south towards Robotyne and Verbove. In these areas, German Leopard 2A tanks and Challenger main battle tanks sent to the Ukrainians by the United Kingdom continue to break through Russian trenches. In addition, the main Ukrainian axis of attack in Zaporizhia stretches from Novoprokopivka southwest to Tokmak.
Today there are Ukrainian advances in Tokmak as well. The Russians are reinforcing their positions near this settlement with additional troops. But Kiev’s offensive plans are so locked on Zaporizhia that even as the Russians continue to send additional troops to these front lines, Ukrainian troops are making significant gains. Today’s successes included the destruction of the Russian Msta-B by the Ukrainian army’s artillery mount 2s1 Gvozdika howitzer. Also noteworthy was the destruction of the Russian MLRS BM-21 Grad in Ocheretovatoye, Zaporozhye region. But the most striking moments of the day in Zaporizhia were the tank battle clashes, as we mentioned at the beginning of the video.
New footage has emerged of the face-to-face encounters between Western battle tanks and Russian tanks in the Ukrainian army’s inventory. Leopard 2A6 tanks faced Russian T-80BV tanks for the first time. The epic footage of a Leopard 2A6 main battle tank single-handedly defeating 2 Russian tanks shocked the audience. Here are all the details of these shocking moments. The Leopard 2 tank of the Ukrainian Armed Forces destroyed two enemy tanks in battle. These critical moments were broadcast on X. The video was filmed during the continuation of counter-attack actions in the Zaporizhia region. The video also shows a Leopard 2A6 tank firing at two Russian T-80BV tanks.
As a result of this hot clash, one Russian tank was heavily damaged, after which two enemy combat vehicles were withdrawn from the position. The tank battle was reportedly fought at a distance of about 2.8 kilometers. Many times before, German tanks and Russian tanks were tried to be compared numerically. However, the Leopard 2A6 proved how superior it was to Russian technology on the Ukrainian fronts. So what was the secret? How did the German Leopard 2 tanks used by Ukraine manage to defeat Russian tanks?
Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 tanks are reportedly equipped with reactive armor. This modernization is designed to increase the survivability of a combat vehicle on the battlefield. As part of the modernization, Kontakt-1 ERA modules were installed on the front and side projections of the turret of the Leopard tank and on the sides of its hull. Kontakt-1 ERA modules primarily protect armored vehicles from HEAT projectiles. When a shaped charge enters the ERA module, two protection elements located inside the casing of each such unit are detonated. Thanks to these features, German Leopard 2 tanks are capable of destroying Russian main battle tanks and armored fighting vehicles.
This is because the main battle tanks used by the Russians on Ukrainian territory generally reflect the old Soviet-era inspirations and features. In addition to these critical successes of the Leopard 2 battle tanks in the Ukrainian army’s inventory, there is new news about the M1 Abrams tanks that the US plans to provide to Kiev. The US has decided to extend the training of Kiev’s troops consisting of 31 refurbished Abrams tanks. About 200 Ukrainian soldiers will continue to hone their skills in operating and repairing the tanks for a few more weeks at US bases in Germany, even after the main training exercises ended last month.
Washington, of course, has important reasons for this decision. In fact, the US plan is to add the Abrams to the mix of other Western tanks at the right time, such as the Challenger 2s donated by the United Kingdom and the Leopard 2s donated by various countries for the armor used in the Ukrainian counter-offensive. This US plan will make a significant difference to the Ukrainian army’s combat vehicle inventory, which is made up of Western battle tanks, especially in this critical time period when the rainy season will begin, when Russian tanks will start to get stranded on Ukrainian territory and have difficulty advancing. The M1 Abrams that the US plans to send to Ukraine are the last battle tanks that will make that difference and participate in these clashes in the spring.

Ukraine blasted a Russian naval port with a barrage of missiles today, heavily damaging a Russian attack submarine and naval ship. Blistering strikes saw up to seven huge explosions resulting in a massive inferno in the Sevastopol port in annexed Crimea. The Kilo-class Rostov-on-Don sub was damaged in the shipyard strike, stated Kremlin-friendly Shot media. The diesel-electric vessel, launched in 2014, had been used to attack Ukraine, and a second damaged vessel was a large landing ship called Minsk. This follows earlier damage in the war to landing ships Saratov, Novocherkassk, and Caesar Kunikov. The Putin-appointed governor of occupied Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, said at least 24 people were wounded and two died.
