Russian serviceman describes the main weaknesses of the Leopard 2 tank

Its inability to be repaired in the field and excessive automation are the main drawbacks of a German Leopard 2A5 tank evacuated from the Avdeyevka section of the Donbass front, commander of a repair platoon in the Central Military District under call sign Pero [lit. Plume] told Sputnik.

"In my opinion, the main disadvantage of this pattern is to give electronic components, electronic parts, more opportunity for control than humans," the repair platoon commander explained.

According to the serviceman, if the electronics are damaged on the front line, then the tank cannot be repaired immediately.

Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry said that a German Leopard 2A5 tank had been delivered by a repair and evacuation team from the Avdeyevka section of the Donbass front to a Central Military District repair unit, and published footage of its evacuation.
