UKRAINE: A new era for the Leopard
The text discusses the upgrade of Leopard tanks in Ukraine with ERA reactive armor. It touches on the humor of the situation while also highlighting the reality of the upgrades. The tweet from Oleksii Reznikov adds a personal touch to the discussion of tank upgrades in Ukraine.
The image above was just a joke, meant to show how the Leopard tank, which is being delivered to Ukraine, will end up like all Eastern tanks, pimped with ERA reactive armor.
But reality is as powerful as fantasy: this is a Ukrainian workshop image with a Leopard tank being upgraded with ERA blocks. There is also a grid on the turret for mounting the reactive armor. And if it helps, there's nothing wrong with that...
So far, the Marder tanks in Ukraine have only been equipped with flags. We are curious to see if they will also receive additional armor.
