also aren’t really tanks.Canadian TV series or program Greatest Tank Battles Whichever Ukrainian brigade gets those first Leopard 1A5s should skip the painful lesson and just assume the German-designed tanks. “The gun here is of the 105-millimeter caliber, quite good, fires accurately,” one marine said. Now that they’re keeping their AMX-10RCs farther from the line of contact, the Ukrainian marines are having more luck with their heavily-armed, but lightweight, recon vehicles. Heavy firepower without heavy protection. But even as long ago as 1994, the Leopard 1A5 no longer was a tank. All that is to say, the Danes knew when to quit.Ī heavier tank might’ve been able to stay and fight. They ordered the Leopards to withdraw before the sun rose. The Danes estimated they may have killed up to 150 Serbs.īut Danish commanders appreciated how narrow their advantage was. The Serbs eventually copped to losing nine soldiers. One Danish tank round struck what appeared to be a Serbian ammunition dump and triggered a major secondary blast. In two hours, the Danes fired 72 105-millimeter rounds and knocked out all three T-55s. The Leopard 1A5s crept up on the T-55s at night, when the superior optics in the Danish tanks gave them an advantage over the Serbian tanks. Serbian forces had been harassing the peacekeepers with fire from T-55 tanks. peacekeeping force in Tuzla, in northern Bosnia. The Danish army actually learned this lesson as long ago as 1994, when it deployed Leopard 1A5s to Bosnia to stiffen a U.N.
Deploy them far enough from the front edge of the battle that they can avoid the heaviest fire while still plucking at enemy forces with their 105-millimeter cannons. Which is why the Ukrainians should do with their Leopard 1A5s what they, at great cost, have learned to do with their AMX-10RCs.
