Petition to rename the Leopard the Leonard to correct my embarrassing mistake? Sign here: rb.gy/uvqkbi
-
Former US Army armor officer here. No tank is a "game changer" if it's not used correctly. Infantry support, artillery support, air superiority.These are what makes a tank a game changer.
-
Leonard 😂
-
Former Tim Hortons manager here, the only real game changer is a cup of perfectly roasted premium coffee.
-
The 'Leonard'? I think you'll find that it's proper military designation is the 'Nimoy'.
-
Ah yes, the Leonard 2 tank, backed up by the Sheldon IFV, the Wolowitzer-2000 and defended by the Koothrapali air defence system.......
-
Former armor corps soldier here - the mishmash of gun calibers, track types and support vehicles is a nightmare. I'm fairly certain that all these vehicle abandonments could have been reversed with good combat support infrastructure - a tank brigade is useless for more than one sortie if you don't have the equipment, man power and training to recover a tank that ran into problems.
-
"Recoverable" implies that it can also be recovered by the opposing side.
-
Danish artillery officer here. There's no such thing as a game changer in war. Tanks are important, so is infantry, artillery, pioneers, logistics etc. What wins wars both today and historically, is the ability to put these different pieces together and combine their advantages in order to minimise their respective set backs.
-
The Leonard 2 is definitely a better name. It’s Leonard 2 now.
-
1:05 the leopard 1 didnt end service in 1965, it STARTED its service with the bundeswehr in 1965! (it ended in 2003!)
-
When hit, being able to disembark and return to base to get inside a new tank, allows you to absorb the lessons learned, and keep the same tankers in the fights - who will become even better tankers as a result. Beats violently exploding with a turret toss 30 meters or more into the atmosphere.
-
Leonard and Leopard, sometimes both used in the very same sentence. Now you’re just taunting us.
-
The Leonard tank is purportedly a superior product to the Taylor tank fielded by Nancy Germany during World War 2.
-
Another great example that the most important feature for a tank is its air support
-
Your rapid fire info is always enjoyed by me. As well as your getting to the point. Thank you!
-
"Then there's the Leonardo 2, the Italian version of its German counterpart, which has seen action in art museums since the 16th century".
-
"I'm Simon Whistler?" "Dammit, who put that on the teleprompter? You all know he only reads exactly what he sees!"
-
If you add turtle armour to a Leanard, does it become the Leonardo variant? Just add twin katana weapon systems to the rear decks.
-
12:50 We all know the truth. Putin sneezed in his office and that Challenger 2 tank went up in flames, not even Chuck Norris is capable of such a feat!
