"Leopard 1A5 – See first, shoot first (and then what?)"

ON FEBRUARY 11, 2023 BY CORPORAL FRISK.

"The news that Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands will join forces to supply 100 Leopard 1A5 is good news for Ukraine. That is the case even if it is significantly older than the Leopard 2A6 and a step below the 2A4 when it comes to protection and raw firepower. It is, however, in some ways what Ukraine needs."

Leopard 1 first entering service in 1965! Generally speaking an inferior model when compared to the most modern Russian armor.

Devoted readers to the blog are strongly encouraged to read the remainder of the Corporal Frisk article. The Corporal knows his stuff.

And in conclusion:

"Corporal Frisk

...and perhaps most importantly, the 1A5 are available in nice numbers. Yes, they are old. Yes, sourcing spares and ammunition will be a headache. Yes, they will take time to get out of storage. But having tanks is better than not having tanks."

Leopard 1 I well imagine if used judiciously can be of use, even very good use. But again, used in a judicious and suitable manner.
