More than 30 soldiers, together with two infantry fighting vehicles, two trucks, a self-propelled howitzer Akatsiya, and an enemy D-20 howitzer were destroyed in one day,” Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said today.

On Friday at the Ramstein airbase, multiple countries pressed Berlin to deliver German-made Leopard 2 main battle tanks to Ukraine as part of an arms transfer package that included “hundreds” of armored vehicles of various types.

Berlin sold many of the 3,600 Leopard 2s produced after the Cold War ended, and they are now in use by 21 countries across four continents.
The Leopard 2s, which weigh between 55 and 65 tons, have far superior armor, firepower, and detection capabilities to most Russian tanks, which weigh between 40 and 50 tons.
