This was told to Moskovsky Komsomolets by Russian military expert Alexei Leonkov.
“The Leopard 2A4 was very well burned by the Kurds in Syria with the help of old Soviet anti-tank missile systems (ATGM) called Malyutka.
This was done so successfully that the second army corps of the Turkish army abandoned the ground offensive operation, in which tanks participated, ”he said.
The expert recalled that the tank is a breakthrough weapon.
“The Ukrainian command can use them during the next attempts at counterattacks.
The question here is rather what tactics the Armed Forces of Ukraine will use,” he added.
Earlier, Polish President Andrzej Duda said during a press conference in Lvov that Poland would transfer a company of Leopard tanks to Ukraine as part of an international coalition.
