"Ukrainian Leopard 2 Tank Reinforced with Explosive Reactive Armor"

A Ukrainian Leopard 2 tank has been spotted in the field with explosive reactive armor (ERA) bricks, a modification that traces its roots back to the Soviet Union. The tank, designated as the 2A4V, is part of Ukraine's rapid innovation in response to the ongoing conflict. The addition of ERA provides increased protection against anti-tank munitions and closer-range weapons. This modification highlights the evolving nature of warfare and the adaptation of advanced NATO equipment with capabilities designed by the foe it was intended to deter.
