This is done because many of the mines laid by Russian forces along with tanks donated by the West are easily destroyed and take longer to repair than Russian tanks.

The failure of Leopard 2 tanks on the Ukrainian battlefield was not necessarily due to their poor quality. This tank still deserves to be the newest and most advanced NATO tank.

But apart from that, there are several reasons that may have contributed to the ineffectiveness of the German-made heavy tank in the war in Ukraine.

First, minefields and artillery fire by Russian forces, the use of anti-tank missiles as well as the use of heavy helicopters contributed to the relatively easy destruction of the Leopard tanks. Until now, the Ukrainians did not have enough forces to destroy hostile forces or to provide proper cover for the advancing mechanized forces.

Second, the Leopard II tank is highly complex and easily damaged, and requires much longer maintenance times than Soviet and Russian tanks, sources said.

Ukraine's logistics unit said it was unable to pay for major repairs to the German tanks on the battlefield. If problems were found in the tanks, they had to send them to Poland for repair.

Third, the "retaliation" policy of the Russian Ministry of Defense as well as Russian individuals and groups towards Russian soldiers who succeed in destroying Western weapons, made them prioritize attacking Western equipment and weapons systems. The Leopard 2 tank is one of the most targeted targets.
