German edition: Germany delivered to Ukraine all the promised Leopard 2A6 tanks and BMP Marder

Germany supplied Kyiv Tanks Leopard 2, as well as Marder infantry fighting vehicles, all equipment is already on the territory of Ukraine. This is reported by the German edition of Der Spiegel.

Germany delivered to Ukraine all the promised tanks, i.e. eighteen MBT Leopard 2A6. In addition, about forty Marder infantry fighting vehicles arrived in Ukraine. Thus, Berlin closed all obligations to Kiev for armored vehicles. Earlier, the Germans promised Zelensky 18 tanks and 40 infantry fighting vehicles.



The fact that the tanks will soon be delivered to Ukraine was reported in mid-March by the German television and radio company NDR, citing sources in the Bundeswehr. At the same time, it was reported that Ukrainian tankers who arrived in Germany for training had completed their training and would soon go home, and immediately with tanks. So it was in fact and not, it’s hard to say now, but the fact that the German Leopard 2A6 is already in Ukraine is said even in Germany itself.

According to Ukrainian sources, Kyiv is in a hurry, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine intends to assemble a shock fist for the start of the counteroffensive, which is planned for the first half of April. Hence the short training time for tankers, both in Germany and in the UK. The Germans bluntly said that in a little over a month they managed to train Ukrainian crews only in the basics of driving rather complex tanks. But the Kyiv regime does not care about this, the main thing is to collect as much equipment as possible and train as many personnel as possible.

Meanwhile, as military experts note, Germany, in addition to tanks, transferred to Ukraine a large number of engineering vehicles and bridge layers. This is due, first of all, to the fact that German tanks are much heavier than ours and not every bridge is able to withstand from 55 (Leopard 2A4) to 63 (Leopard 2A6) tons. Practical Germans know this and therefore supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with this technique.

        As one of the options for dealing with Leopards.
        A video has appeared on the Web in which Russian artillerymen are firing at a tank of Ukrainian militants hidden in the forest.

        As experts noted, our soldiers use the Kitolov-2M guided projectile with a semi-active laser homing head to hit a target. The same video shows how exactly the gunners hit the Ukrainian tank without any sighting.

        https://dzen.ru/a/ZCFkXe2DMGJO4On_

        Ability to hit various targets: Kitolov-2M projectiles can hit various types of targets, including moving and stationary, armored and unarmored, enemy engineering structures.

        High firing range: the maximum range of the Kitolov-2M high-explosive fragmentation projectile is 13,5 km. This makes it possible to hit targets at long distances, which makes Kitolov-2M shells especially useful in mountainous and wooded areas.

        Possibility to fire in bursts: Kitolov-2M shells allow firing in bursts up to 3 rounds per minute with an interval of 20-25 seconds between shots and re-targeting at new targets in free intervals between illumination cycles. This allows you to effectively hit group targets at long distances.

        In combat conditions, Kitolov-2M shells are used to suppress enemy firing points, destroy engineering structures, and also to destroy armored and unarmored targets.

            Leopards will be destroyed not only by Kitolov, but also by other means of destruction, and there will be more of these means of destruction than Leopards. This is just one of the options.

            And in the end, what do gunsmiths work for? In order to have the means of defeating enemy equipment and manpower!

                Yes, and our industries make GOS for Krasnopol-type art shells on chips "with a 90nm process technology." It seems to work. They say that it will be even better in the future: a plant for the production of electronic components for our military products began to operate in the suburbs.

                They even know how to make bank cards))), but only they are 10 times more expensive than Chinese ones.
                But the military does not care, especially since Western military electronics are not cheaper, if not more expensive than ours. In general, just last week, Sobyanin reported on the construction of a new workshop for Micron.

              This is not a hundred yet, but judging by the pace with which the "friends" are somehow going to put cats on the edge, it will soon be over a hundred, plus more challenges and abrashki.

          This is how SE and K* think. The fact that our "bombers" allowed them to reach the LBS is a huge minus for all the upper headquarters! dooming fighters on the front end to fight "cats" in a real battle.
          It remains to apply the technique of Marshal G.K. Zhukov on the Kursk Bulge, and inflict an artillery strike on the German armored cats that have accumulated in the waiting area (concentration).
          Well, of course, I rely on our turntables and Rooks! Spring is in the yard - it's time to "peck the worms"!

Yes, the majority would like the NWO to end as soon as possible (on any terms), in order to live as before, well, so that it does not affect them personally.

        And the driver and loader - from the "local" or what?
        Most likely in L2A6 the crew will be from psheks or unfinished Bavarian neo-Nazis. Naturally for a big loot.
        To teach Svidomites for a couple of months how to properly use a 3rd generation tank with its electronics in German? - it's something with something from the realm of fantasy. But the CIPSO-shniks will try to present everything (as it should be in the distorting mirror of Nazi propaganda) at face value and the crystal truth: THE CREW are "Ukrainian lads from Kueva's pied"!
        And then, for sure, they will give birth to a fake about Commander Leopold ... like a flyer - "the ghost of Kuev."
        AHA.

      Well, at least we will impose such economic sanctions on Germany for this? Or will we continue to supply it with raw materials for the production of tanks?

      In combat conditions, shells "Kitolov-2M"

      There is only one question - will there be enough Kitolovs, something expensive, complex and stuffed with ELECTRONICS ...

      Do you seriously think that there will be more shells for leopards? do not touch other means of destruction
