APU donated to the Russian army and thus revealed the weak point of the German Leopard 2 tanks. The newspaper Frankfurter Rundschau writes about it. According to German journalists, the weaknesses of the combat vehicle were seen in the videos published by the Ukrainians.
Ukrainian engineers modified the Leopard 2 tanks by installing dynamic protection between the hull and the turret. It is necessary to protect the armored equipment using anti-explosive equipment. For this, containers with explosives are placed on the composite armor of the hull.
Ukrainians posted videos of retrofitted tanks on social networks. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine also showed them. According to German journalists, by showing where the elements of dynamic protection are located, the Ukrainian army has identified a weak point of the Leopard 2 tanks.
Ukraine's armed forces launched a counteroffensive on June 4. Brigades armed with Western technology and trained by NATO instructors were thrown into battle. German tanks were also transferred to the units. Subsequently, footage of Leopard 2 burning on the battlefield shocked Western experts and viewers.
