In this video we discuss Spain’s potential delivery of Leopard 2A4s to Ukraine. For this we particularly look at the strength and weaknesses of the Leopard 2A4 in context of the war in Ukraine, but also at the specifics of the deal. So we not only touch armor, firepower and mobility, but also logistics, training and other elements. Based on the current information available (9-10th June 2022), I don’t think the deal makes much sense. Several Images by https://www.vitalykuzmin.net/ url as indicated in the video.
