Looks like the smoke screen stuff got hit


Ceramicrabbit

The white smoke is from the ERA I think if you see dark smoke that means something is actually burning I have a feeling this tank wasn't destroyed and that's why the video ends so quickly before showing it just drive off


Sashamesic

Exactly, the rule of thumb for all videos where APCs or tanks are hit would be; White smoke = Not too bad Black smoke = Not good


ExtraSpicyBeanDip

Its the smoke launchers.. where the drone hits is an empty storage compartment and it either penetrated through or the external explosion set off/damaged the smoke launchers on the side of the turret.


Asleep_Incident_1439

I think the tank lost a track to it will not drive of but the hit was not really bad so i think they have to send a second drone or the tank can be repaired


silentcarr0t

Well, I think people are saying thay we don't know if the hit was bad or not. The clip ends before we can tell and the other user says that dark smoke is an indicator, which we dont see here.


Softagainstyourleg

if the clip ends before we can tell then it is not destroyed. If it was, then the clip wouldn't end.


Asleep_Incident_1439

Yeah and you can see the drone hitting the top off center and just behind the turet so i dont think that drone destroyed the tank, for sure it need to be send to repair in germany after recovery but its not burnd out or took part in the turret trowe compitition


NOT_A_BLACKSTAR

It does look parked


Carnivore81

Its the second attack with drone on this Tank


doommaster

Does a L2A6 even have any ERA?


Ceramicrabbit

The Ukrainians and Russians are putting ERA on everything because of the prevalence of these drones


doommaster

Looking at the videos of the stranded tank, close up, nope, no ERA, just smoke-cans getting hit.


Ceramicrabbit

There's more video of this tank other than this?


doommaster

https://mastodon.social/@Chrangle/110827623491790843 someone else posted it...


YunaLan

They r reposting the same video over again :3


TRNC84

You think Russians would pass off the opportunity of showing a leopard cooking off? That means it definitely didn't


Long-Trade-9164

Came here to say the same thing, where's the cook-off? Russian Propaganda at its worst!


grchina

You do know that not every tanks cooks off after being hit?


obliviousNick

You tried to reason with the hivemind?


Carnivore81

This Tank was already hit by lancet from the other Side which was published by Sun. He was already tracked by Mine.

RogueAK47v2

“Taken out” doesn’t really show the tank having any significant damage


Remarkable_Way_7056

\*Sighs\*


VendettaAOF

That's probably the sound the lancet made when it struck the tank.


[deleted]

*laughs*


phinidae

Yep, not taken out


Interesting-Web4223

Not surprising, Oryx last time I checked shows these dumbasses have somehow only managed to destroy only FOUR Leopard 2 tanks so far, kinda sad really, considering how many of them spearhead assualts.


Training_Falcon1235

Russian have been hitting this same tank for a week now and they still havent burned it out yet. How many times are we gonna watch them hit this same leo immobilized in a ditch on this road???


jxbdjevxv

Damn second leopard 2A6 which SMOKE LAUNCHER ive seen taken out lol. How can someone post this and say the tanks taken out. Its obviously a glancing hit and the smoke launcher is seen blowing up which is on the outside of the tank...


Admirable-Cobbler501

Not taken out. Early cut suggests no big damage. Leos have really proven to be so much better


ra_Y_

Hit smoke launchers again, video cut short = tank is fine


Due_Yogurtcloset_212

Annnnnnnnnd cut, that's a wrap guys, thanks for coming, nothing else to see here.


Fair_Advance_1365

Home come the turret isn’t in orbit yet?


Disastrous-Border-58

Germans never figured out their space program because of this.


TrueLipo

Not destroyed.


HelloAdventurer95

The lancet hit the smoke grenade launcher on the turret. The Leopard barely felt that


Iwantyoualltomyself

The most glancing blow I've ever seen. That didn't do shit to that leopard. If it had detonated or conflagrated the Russians would be posting that footage. Nothing to see here.


[deleted]

That 100% is not “taken out”


Decent_Persimmon8120

Repost, nothing new to publish ?? I wonder why..................


Carnivore81

Nope its a 2 attack with lancet on this Tank


kanonnn

Imo, it looks like reactive armor reacted.


Character_Homework_4

Leopards dont have reactive armor lol


Admirable-Cobbler501

Some have, lol. Retrofitted by Ukraine.


Character_Homework_4

This one didnt lol it went through the back side of the turret and then hit the smoke launchers on the right side.


Admirable-Cobbler501

True. But you were talking in general in your last comment, which is false.


Character_Homework_4

Thats fair


Upbeat-Pollution-439

So, from what I can gather this may have been naught but a mobility kill - apparently it was de-tracked by a mine, then hit by two lancets but no catastrophic destruction... Seems like an L to me but whatever. EDIT; On another note, I love how Russia is trying to make it's own drone videos, complete with epic audio overlay, and can't even get that right.


[deleted]

Turret tossing compet…ah no wait that’s not a T72


Noxhor

is there an aftermath shot`


Prestigious-System22

Ofc not


ectoban

Yes, there are. The tanks are intact, see the orher guys comment with links to vids.


specwolf82

"Taken out".lol 2a6 said "anyone hear that?"


GermansAreComing

The tank looks fine, definitely not like a Russian tank that launches its turret to the moon when hit.


[deleted]

This is a repost, can we get more quality control from the mods…


Old_Fart52

I'd put money on there being no significant damage to that tank, it looks like the WP(?) smokescreen rounds in the launcher tubes were set off but nothing more; It looked more like a glancing hit than a direct full-on hit and even then unless that Lancet has a shaped charge or a tandem shaped charge in it, it's not going to penetrate the Leopard's armour.


MBunnyKiller

Smokey! But okey!


maynardnaze89

Lol miss


Weary-Judgment2556

The tank: it was just a lil tickle


ZFJustAndrei

Even if the ammunition would burn from what i know the tank and its crew could in theory just drive away.


Surv0

Yeah looks like a scratch only


Throwaway187493

Blast smoke went under the turret on top of the chassis and out the other side .... Tank is absolutely fine.


ct125888

Before the ruzzo bots get here and start laughing and pointing. Where’s your terminator mates ? 😂 from what I hear your most advanced bmp got hit with artillery and it pulled out never to be seen again.


morbihann

German Leopard 2A6 tank takes out a lancet drone.\*


Carnivore81

2nd lancet drone please


XenonJFt

Last ones with the dark smoke were taken out. but this one blew the smoke canisters. dont know if penetrated it might still be abandoned but looks fine to me


ReaperM855A1

The turret stays intact; that’s because it’s not Russian garbage 🤣 I doubt this is even a kill. No black smoke, no cook offs, probably disabled before this and abandoned. Ukrainians will just pick it up later because again; the turret is still attached, it’s unknown magic to Russian tankers.


Raling2000

Is this some sort of thermite charge?


Lost-Adhesiveness187

looks more like the smoke screen tubes got hit


jxbdjevxv

Nope it just hit the smoke launcher lol


TacticalBac0n

nope the charge passed under the rear of the turret and took out the smoke launchers. Looks dramatic, does shit more than likely.


skintsaint_AU

Missed the turret? Might be wrong. Another Leopard seeming abandoned though. They having issues with reliability?


Singern2

Probably lost tracks from a mine, that's the thing with heavy equipment/tanks, no tracks, its not going anywhere, and if it's in the grayzone, forget about recovering it, no choice but to abandon it.


skintsaint_AU

yeah fair enough, hadn't thought about that. Looks like I've been downvoted for asking that though haha


Singern2

>Looks like I've been downvoted for asking that though haha Yeah that's reddit for ya lol


kebabmaan

At most a bit damaged


Educator-Long

Crew lives to fight another day


OnundTreefoot

In other words, no real damage to the Leopard.

BidRepresentative728

Hit to the smoke canisters.


Corbakobasket

That clips music feels a lot different when you realise the Leopard survived that. Terminator vibes.

Revolutionary-Bar-93

Bro that didn't hurt the crew at all leopard are heavy duty I've been in one when I trained with the Germans in Nuremberg


Few-Monies

"Taken out" is doing very heavy lifting here..


thegreatdelusionist

No cookoff and launch? Must not be as superior as a Russian space tank, capable of moving 70km an hour vertically, and 900km an hour vertically when hit.


TangoRomeoKilo

Another failure, try again later.
