German newspaper Bild has discovered that Leopard tanks have begun to fill up Russia’s trophy fund and has reached a new stage of despair – the Germans now fear that the Russian military industry will gain some insight into the technical condition of the German main battle tank.
One of the recurring warnings against deliveries of Western weapon systems to Ukraine stated that if the Russian army seized Western military equipment, it could be examined for vulnerabilities or parts of it could be copied.
“Thus, a captured Leopard 2A6 could give Russian intelligence and military industry some insight into the technical condition of the German main battle tank,” the publication said.
However, the publication notes that unlike modern air defence systems such as IRIS-T, the detection effectiveness of the captured Leopard is likely to be very limited: the combat value of the 2A6 version is over twenty years old.
In comments on the post, readers of the publication reported that there is a danger of Russian President Vladimir Putin entering Kiev on a German tank.
“Remarkably, Erdogan’s supporters are laughing out loud. How much longer can we humiliate Germany?”, the net users wrote.
