After a long break, the formations of the Kiev regime threw German Leopard 1A5 tanks into battle, but they were very unlucky - in the city limits of Konstantinovka, drone operators of the 4th Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade opposed them.
As a result of the kamikaze drones, the 42-ton "foreign car" initially caught fire, and then a powerful explosion of ammunition occurred. The armored "cat" was literally blown apart. A ten-ton turret with a 105-mm cannon was thrown ten meters away. If the crew couldn't evacuate, then it's clear what happened to them.
The military analytical portal lostarmour posted a video of the tank turned into a pile of scrap metal on its telegram channel.
Information about the Leopard 1A5 deliveries was announced in the winter of 2023. As a result, the Ukrainian Armed Forces received a little more than a hundred units. Moreover, documents were leaked to the Network, where the SS shouted tanks for very poor technical condition. So, there was a lot of talk about poor protection and the fact that the shells inside are located openly. This played a role in the Leopard's disintegration. It is known about the loss of two dozen, but they, as a rule, simply burned down, and this happened for the first time.

Judging by the situation at the front, we will probably see the enemy reactivating the existing Leopard 1A5, along with the Leopard 2A4/6, the Australian M1A1 AIM Abrams, Challenger 2, M55S, and even several existing T-84s. And there will be even more videos with destroyed enemy tanks.
