Footage from the special military operation zone has confirmed that Russian forces managed to seize a Leopard 2A6, the most capable variant of the Leopard 2 provided to Ukraine, Military Watch Magazine reports.
"Video footage released on April 21 confirmed that Russian ground units captured a Leopard 2A6 tank during fighting with Ukrainian forces… Among European tanks it [the Leopard 2A6] is only surpassed in its capabilities by a very small number of Leopard 2A7s that entered service in the late 2010s," the article said.
It is noted that Leopard 2 tanks have suffered very serious losses since Ukrainian forces attempted a massive offensive against Russian positions in early June 2023, with Leopard 2A6s being among the first Western-made vehicles taken out of service and completely destroyed by Russian troops.
