War in Ukraine / Equipment

So I was reading a dutch newspaper (telegraaf.nl) about experiences driving the very newest leopard II tank in the fields in Lithuania close to the belarussian border.

Despite all innovation, tank operator Mike is convinced this is by no means a 'killer machine'. It is a weapon with many advantages such as steady shooting in rough terrain, but also limitations. Sometimes you are busy with maintenance for weeks and if you turn too fast the tracks fall off.
