The Ukrainian army finally is adding reactive armor to its German-made Leopard 1A5 tanks. And just in time. The army is forming five new mechanized brigades.
Can we stop the bullshit narratives? Yes, those are light vehicles compared to modern MBTs. No, them being at risk when immobilized by a mine and then coming under artillery fire is not an issue of Leopard-1s. Neither is getting hit by ATGMs.
That’s the reality of every tank and vehicle in a war zone. And not one some smart Ukrainians will fix with their ingenious engineering skills. That’s just another bullshit fairy tale of how Ukrainians can improve crap the West delivered them. And I don’t understand their need to push such narratives constantly.

Well, you can, but first you should learn more about these tanks: https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/11/19/ukraines-leopard-1-tanks-roll-toward-the-front-line-but-without-extra-armor/
