ACCIDENT: The pried-open leopard

Keep going! Just keep going! There's nothing to see! - Well, that's not entirely true. The spectacular images of the decapitated Leopard 2A4 come from Poland. They show a training accident during the training of Ukrainian soldiers on the tank: the entire Leo turret is unhinged.

We have never seen anything like this before, we must say. What initially appears disturbing can be explained. Presumably, it was caused by the rapid passing of a second Leopard or at least one barrel that almost let the turret go overboard. Note also the dent on the tank's barrel. Although the tracks on the sandy front of the tank may also indicate that the other one tried to run it over. In any case, we know what the Polish training officer said about it: Kurwa.

Maybe this video somehow explains the cause of the accident.

As always, our safety warning applies: Dear children, please do not try this at home.
