Video addresses the exact scenarios at Leopard 1 would be used. The gun is not great against only the frontal T-72 armor so Leopards would need to be used in a hit and run, side/rear ambush, and support scenarios.


Leopards would require more than a month of refurbishment, then a month of transport, and another six weeks out for Ukrainian crews being trained on them IF the transfer was approved by Scholz today.
