the crew stayed under cover until the strikes stopped, then ran back to the tank in broad daylight, started the engine, and drove it out from under Russian observation, Khodak noted.
He added that his platoon commander had already pulled off the same kind of recovery twice.
The end of the tank has been greatly exaggerated, a Leopard is an absolute monster and blowing it up is actually pretty damn hard.


I wonder if you could make real fake decoys like this where anything internal that would explode is removed, and make it heavily armored so they keep attacking it trying to destroy it.
It’d be more expensive than a cardboard or similar decoy, but could take more hits and be a longer distraction?
If you can use a real tank no longer serviceable and being put out of commission, or something like that.
16 hours later and no real fake doors comment. Im disappointed lol.
The tank would turn into “a tank”
