The first German Leopard tanks began to participate in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Adviser to the acting head of the DPR, Yan Gagin, said German cars were seen in the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) region.
At the same time, the official urged not to cause a stir due to the appearance of German armored vehicles on the battlefield.
It’s the same armored target, like all the others. It’s not worth sensationalizing
– Yan Gagin said on the air of the Rossiya TV channel.
Recall that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of Wagner PMC, spoke about the upcoming transfer of Leopard tanks to the Artemovsk (Bakhmut) region. It is the fighters of its structure who will have to face German technology on the battlefield. The Russian businessman promised to report when the first German car would be destroyed.
We add that the position of the Ukrainian army in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) is currently considered critical. Experts note the almost exhausted capabilities of the Ukrainian garrison in the defense of the city. Almost all the routes that previously served to supply the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Artemovsk (Bakhmut) have been cut off by Russian units or are under fire control.
In all likelihood, the military command of Ukraine hopes to hold the front line in this direction with the help of German tanks.
