Leopard 2, PZ 2000, Gepard: How Effective are German Weapons in Ukraine’s War Against Russia?

[@FlyWithMe_666]

The Gepard story is incredible - it was retired from the German Bundeswehr years ago, and now Germany realises that having close- to medium range AA is actually more important than ever, also because of drones. Expensive, long range systems like Patriot alone won’t do the job. New AA systems will be procured (Rheinmetall Skyranger?), but this takes times and the Gepard had filled that exact role as it shows in Ukraine.

[@MeaNGiants]

they have been working on the mantis system for a while, but so far no announcements on new SPAAG.

Its funny to me how many people are like "The Leopard 2 is trash! It gets destroyed so easily!". First: Its a war machine. Of course it gets damaged or destroyed. BUT they are few in numbers on the front line and we see just a few of them getting destroyed entirely. So what does that mean? It is really effective and withstand much before they are not usable anymore. And second: A war machine can be replaced fast, but the crew not. And thats the key. The crew is more likely to survive in a Leopard 2 than in any other soviet tank. Alone that makes it way more valuable than what the ukrainians had in their armoury.

And this is why the coming F16 will make no hugh different...ukraine can maybe fly them but not perfectly operate with them and they will have many loses because the are Rookies....like with the other western Stuff.

[@Silent.Hunter]

@@KirTyun First wrong point you made is when you typed ''A war machine can be replaced fast''. That's not true and that's because Leopards can't be repaired on Ukrainian soil, they need to go to Poland and get repaired then sent back and that won't happen ''fast''. Second wrong point is where you say that western tanks are safer for the crew and that's debatable because with today's weapons mostly Drones and Anti-Tank weapons carried by soldiers it all depends on where the ammo will hit the tank and if the tank is covered by soldiers and aircrafts, also the training of the crew plays crucial role and Ukrainians didn't train for too long.

Some countries are smaller than others, so it makes more sense to compare support as a % of the contributors GDP. Germany, the Eastern EU countries and Scandinavian have all given (much) more than the US (or the UK).

[@Ganiscol]

Because I looked it up for Germany last week, I can spell it out: Germany's economy is almost 1/7th of the US, but it provided 1/3rd of the US contribution. When you add humanitarian expenditures, the gap narrows to 1/2. And the same is true for many other European nations, with the notable exceptions of France, Italy, Spain and UK. In total, EU nations and EU institutions provided 133 billion Euros, head and shoulders over what the US gave. Which is ok because we're here in Europe, but in the US the general perception is, that they are paying for everything. Which objectively not true. Not in relation to GDP and not in plain numbers. If that false perception could be corrected, it would stop the erosion of support, I believe. It shouldnt be a competition, but as a non-German I cant help but notice all the German bashing that was going on over the past 2 years, when the numbers prove the opposite and other nations who do less than they could, lay really low and fly under the radar...

The problem with German weapons is not their quality, but maintenance and repair, as the inventory and units have been centralized and minimized due to the budget constraints for the military of the last 30 years.

[@rantanplan178]

Logistics in general must be a nightmare in Ukraine. They operate various military vehicles from various nations. I mean, the Bundeswehr decided not to use a heavy caliber machine gun (50 cal) and instead use the MG3 in a light, medium and heavy role (on "lafette" tripod"). This only changed recently with M2 Machine-Guns added to some choppers, spec-ops and some recon units and the reason given? Logistics. Just using 7.62 for pretty much every firearm (cold war, in the 90's 5.56 joined the club with the G36) would be much easier on the logistical side. Now turn to Ukraine. Not only do they use all kinds of western calibers, they also use all kinds of Russian calibers. This alone is brutal, absolutely brutal logistically. Thinking about the mess in regards to vehicles on top of all this would give me nightmares for sure, if I'd be responsible for logistics in Ukraine.

They do not help repairing Leopard tanks, as they asked for ludicrous requirements for Germans to setup shop. Basically, they wanted to get a dollar for 50 cent. On a sidenote they also used this to put Germany in a bad light. Quite pathetic in times of war tbh, but it is not a polish quirk. A lot of these arms deals are more or less sideways to get rid of older equipment on the cheap side. Anyhow. So Leopards now need to be pulled to Germany and Lithuania for repairs and maintenance.

Germany setting an excellent example about what military aid means without "conditions" attached.

The main Problem right now is that some of the systems break down because of wrong maintenance and the fact that Poland under PiS didn't allow KMw (makers of PzH 2000 and Leo 2) set up shop in Poland. So they had to set up shop in Lithuania. Also, because of urgency , the Ukraine insisted on a 3 months training schedule, normal is 6 months. Some of the systems broke because Ukrainian mechanics tried to fix them without the proper knowledge. Not their fault, they simply lacked 3 months of training. However, those problems should be gone very soon. Since KMW is setting up a new shop in the Ukraine, so maintenance, production and training will be done in Ukraine.

I think Scholz' last "argument" against it was that France and UK "can do what we are not allowed to". Somehow saying that we would need to deliver geo data or involve soldiers operating the IT behind taurus. So anything that would somehow directly involve Germany.

I've seen several YT videos of the Pzh 2000, Leopard 2, CV90, M2 Bradley other military vehicles the UAF have in action, but I've yet to see on video of the Challenger 2, Marder IFV, Archer and the M1 Abrams in action, is there a reason why they're not being shown?

[@DerpyFox]

Some Marders have been used and damaged, one Challenger 2 was destroyed, and the Abrams the soldiers are training on, they were handed over not too long ago

[@GormHornbori]

Some systems have only few units delivered to Ukraine, or are only recently delivered. Some systems are only given to special forces units who maintain a media lock down, or are used in areas that require more operational security. In some cases the donor countries may have requested that Ukraine refrain from posting videos on the systems.

[@Jamespwickstromw]

Abrams is quite heavy and will get easily stuck in the mud now, also its top armor is quite thin making it easy for FPV drones to damage or destroy it.

[@OEightHours]

they aren't shown because of operational security due to them being a high value target

Why don't you mention the air defense system IRIS - T SLM? Germany has supplied Ukraine with this air defense system. It is proving to be highly effective for the defense of Ukraine. The hit rate is almost 100 %.

Es wird nie reichen, auch wenn es bis zum letzen Panzer geliefert wird. Deutsche Waffen sind keine Wunderwaffen. Wie werden so lange zerstört werden bis der letze geliefert wird. Es verlängert nur den Krieg. Ukraine wird nicht gewinnen können.

[@dmitrit.4862]

Zu glauben, dass westliche Waffenlieferungen zu einem Sieg der Ukraine beitragen werden ist ziemlich naiv. Der Ukraine gehen die Soldaten aus, weil sie stümperhaft eine Gegenoffensive nach der anderern gestartet haben, die von den Russen in fast allen Fällen zurückgeschlagen wurden - zum Nachteil der Ukraine, denn die Verluste waren immer wieder immens. 🙄 Zumal, je mehr Waffen wir dort hin liefern, desto weniger stehen uns Waffen für einen Ernstfall zur Verfügung. Mal abgesehen davon, dass wir seit Jahren Munitionsknappheit haben.

[@crimplay397]

These weapons and vehicles were developed in the Old War to be able to hold their own against Russia at the peak of its power. and it's nice to see that they work :). Of course, it would be all the nicer if Putin had never made the use of these weapons necessary. I wish the Uktaine good luck and a speedy peace :) Keep your heads down guys and don't step back.

Most Western systems are designed with precision and economy in mind, not with mass. You recon the targets you send their positions to the FFC, they are handed to the units and, with a minimum of ammo the targets are engaged. Remember Seelow Heights.
