That's just a lie

It's true though. On a tactical and strategic lever Leopard 2's are worth 10 times as much as some old and badly maintained T72's. This doesn't mean you line them up to shot at each other point blank range. But on the battlefield one Leopard 2 ads about 10 times the force multiplication than a T72 because of logistics, technical capabilities, crew performance (fatigue) as well as range, speed and sensors. Ask any experienced commander if he rather have 10 Leopards to his disposal or 100 T72's. The 100 T72's will end up being a burden to their own logistics, their own battle management command and control structure and are generally speaking cannon fodder for the enemy while the 10 Leopard 2's bring top notch capability to the battlefield. The rest is up to the commanders, use this wisely and you win, use it badly and you lose, even with a better tank.

@robertbilka1542 Cheaper and less capable weapons have a battlefield value of close to zero. Russia attacked Ukraine with thousands of tanks and got nowhere. Western tanks have much better optics, sensors, communication and weapons (including fire control) that their first hit probability is so much higher that it's not even a comparison to a T72. One Leopard 2 is worth 10 T72 or even more just based on that not to mention logistics, crew survivability, crew fightability and other factors.

Putin can stop his failed war whenever he likes. Until then the russian will drop dead in the thousands every week.

Ukraine didn't have a mobilization since march last year. Even when russia made their "partial" mobilization ukraine didn't do likewise. They go enough volunteers an regular draftees. Manpower is not their problem, morale is high and they want to fight. What Ukraine is lacking is not men but ammunition.

@ВасяПупкин-е7ф3ц So strange to see the same propaganda lies everywhere. Do you guys get cue cards for every week and this week it's this bullshit and next week something else? how does that work and how much do you get paid for it?

@ВасяПупкин-е7ф3ц We have all seen Himars and PzH killing entire fields and building full of russians. Meanwhile russian artillery, alto plenty, is so inaccurate that even russian soldiers openly condemn and ridicule their own artillery.

He doesn't mean 10 T72's firing on 1 Leopard 2. When he said One Leopard is worth 10 T72's it's meant tactically and strategically. So yes I guess 10 Leopard 2's are as valuable as 100 T72's everything considered. With the new APS it's probably even more so but Ukraine will not get the A7V model but the older A6 which is vulnerable to anti tank missiles
