BOOM!

Tanks gone -- just like the 1000's of tanks the Ukes lost in the last year.

Ukraine, since day one, has generally refused to get into a tank-versus-tank strategy. They optimized on anti-tank weapons, and getting the Russian tanks into situations where refueling simply wasn’t going to occur.

No one has an accurate count of either side on lost tanks...it’s safe to say Russia has lost a minimum of a thousand tanks (probably not the 2,000 that some suggest). The Russian figure on Ukrainian lost tanks is a comedy act, with claims of three times the inventory on day one....doesn’t sell.

If Russia was planning big on a spring offensive (invasion #2)...they are in a much weaker position because of tank losses. Logistically, there’s no advantage for the Russians anymore.

Any tank can go BOOM, the question is how many Russian BOOM's will these Leopards cause with their advanced thermal sights and excellent targeting system? Plus if it is damaged it has advanced crew protection, vs the T72's that act like jack-in-the-box.

The tank losses is especially huge on the Russian side.
They lose tanks about 4 to 1 against Ukraine.
