A Russian sniper commander (call sign: Moskva) recently explained how a German-made Leopard 2 tank was blown to pieces in a 2023 offensive against Ukraine at Rabotino in Zaporizhzhia.<\/p>\n

One of those pieces was saved, soon finding its way into Russian President Vladimir Putin’s personal library in the Kremlin, as per a Ria Novosti<\/i> report.<\/p>\n

Apart from the German military, the Leopard 2 has been widely used in a dozen European and Western countries. <\/p>\n

Boasting an operational range of 450-500km and a maximum speed of about 72km\/h, these tanks are typically operated by a four-member crew operating a 120mm\/L55 smoothbore gun with 42 rounds, as well as a 7.62mm machine gun, a 7.62mm anti-aircraft gun, and 16 smoke grenade dischargers, as per a Guardian <\/i>report.<\/p>\n

Yet, the soldier explained that destroying the tank was not too complicated—in fact, not as difficult as preparing to do so.<\/p>\n

‘Moskva’ explained that the tank was monitored from a quadcopter, and carefully lured into a pre-prepared kill zone, where a VT-40 FPV drone was already on duty, as per a KP.RU<\/i> report.<\/p>\n

According to him, the Leopard 2 was typically used in direct\/semi-direct contact. Often firing at Russian positions from just 3-4km away, this tank’s shots were fast and close to the ground, making it a lethal force on the battlefield.<\/p>\n

“You had no more than a second to hide after hearing a shot,” he recounted.<\/p>\n

Video footage shows that when the tank got into position at the kill zone, the VT-40 FPV drone fired straight at a weak spot on the tank’s turret, blasting it to smithereens.<\/p>\n
