 German made Leopard tanks was destroyed in Ukraine. Russia's military has knocked out several of Ukraine's German made Leopard 2 tanks in the northern section of the front in the Donetsk. The Russian Defence Ministry has claimed releasing a video of the strikes. In a statement, the ministry said the Russian military's west grouping had destroyed a platoon of Ukrainian armour not far from the village of Terny. It claimed that Moscow's forces had spotted the armoured spearhead preparing for an attack but it nipped it in the bud by destroying the tanks with high precision weapons. It did not provide details on the type of arms used. Several snippets of video released by Russian officials seemingly filmed from a drone above appear to show at least two heavy tanks on a rough road with several projectiles striking them triggering a shower of sparks from the impact. A thick plume of smoke begins rising from the tanks with a fire seen burning on the turret of one. While the tanks appear to have been hit, the exact extent of the damage and the fate of their crews remains unclear. Russian military telegram channel Vojeny Osvedomitel suggested that the Leopard had been hit by Landsat Kamikaze drones, the effectiveness of which has previously been acknowledged by Ukrainian officials and anti-tank guided missile systems. Russian defence officials and social media channels frequently share clips of destroyed Ukrainian military hardware echoing western media reports in recent months that Kiev's forces have lost a significant amount of armoured units.
