The losses of these highly efficient German combat vehicles emphasize the scale of battles and threats faced by Ukrainian troops on the battlefield, journalists say. Despite Leopard's powerful armor, they are not invincible, and Ukraine is actively taking steps to protect them. In particular, they began to install steel screens on Leopard tanks to increase their resistance to rockets, explosive drones and other ammunition.
The cost of such a screen is about $ 20,000, which is much less than the cost of the tank itself, and the installation takes about 12 hours. The screens help to significantly increase the chances of survival of the crew and protect the equipment from damage, allowing the tanks to return to the battle after repair.
