"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 adds protection against anti-tank munitions. The ERA bricks, known as Kontakt-1, originated from the Soviet Union and are commonly used on both sides' armored vehicles in the ongoing conflict. This modification reflects Ukraine's rapid innovation and adaptation to the evolving battlefield. It remains to be seen if the use of ERA on Ukrainian Leopard 2 tanks will become standard as the country's counteroffensive continues.

"Ukraine's Failed Tank Offensive Against Russia in Southern Ukraine"

The Ukrainian army's armored assault on Russian positions in southern Ukraine failed, resulting in the loss of at least one Leopard 2A6 tank, an IMR-2 engineering vehicle, and up to nine Bradley fighting vehicles. The assault was aimed at breaching prepared enemy fortifications, but the dense minefield and Russian helicopters or artillery interrupted their efforts. The setback could be serious if the Ukrainians can't recover and repair some of the damaged vehicles. However, the Ukrainian army's wider attempt to advance south into Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia continues.
