Russia has developed methodological tools to fight Leopard

The Russian Defence Ministry has developed methodological guidelines for dealing with Western-made tanks that are supplied to the Armed Forces. The head of the Combat Training Centre in Mulino, Yevgeny Arifulin, told the BBC.

He said that his Center trains tank crews directly for tank dueling. In addition, drone operators, snipers and machine gunners are trained to fight tanks at the range.

A good machine gunner, a good sniper will deprive the tank of "vision" and grenade gunners will shoot it down. The new is well forgotten old," a British publication quotes the Russian military as saying.

He said that this was how "our grandfathers did it in the Patriotic War".

On 27 March, the Ukrainian Armed Forces received a batch of Leopard 2 tanks from Germany. It later transpired that the country transferred more tanks than agreed. We would like to point out that the Ukrainian Armed Forces still expect deliveries from Sweden, Canada, Spain, Finland and Portugal.

We would like to add that Ukraine is tentatively planning a counter-offensive in April-May.
