From half-track to Leopard 2: The complete illustrated history of the Krauss-Maffei Ordnance Department

Product Information

Keeping up its momentum, a Leopard 2R that has just cleared a minefield can shove dirt into the trenches, cross over the resulting earthen bridge then push right through the adjacent berms. We are an importer / exporter, supplying some of Europe's biggest retailers, wholesalers, and independents.

Finnish soil reportedly is too rocky for the vehicle’s mineplow, even with 1,500 horsepower behind it.It was worth wondering what was left of the 47th Brigade’s engineer battalion after the debacle of June 8. That the engineers lost so many vehicles on or around Thursday doesn’t mean the assault on Russian positions near Mala Tokmachka has failed. The engineer battalions of the 33rd Mechanized and 47th Assault Brigades, the lead formations in Ukraine’s 2023 counteroffensive, suffered heavy equipment losses in their assault just south of Mala Tokmachka last week. With your own mane or a matching wig and some make-up (not included) from the cheeks to the neck, a nice wild cat will be made in no time. As it happens, the Ukrainian 47th Assault Brigade in just a week of hard fighting has abandoned three of its six best breaching vehicles—its Finnish-made Leopard 2Rs.

Not all children like to dress up in full costumes, making this accessory perfect for them or if you are a teacher and just want a little something to join in with class this is also a brilliant choice for you too! Recovery crews last week began towing away some of the vehicles the 47th Brigade abandoned, presumably after clearing the remaining TM-62 mines. The disastrous assault left the 47th Brigade with just three Leopard 2Rs, which are 69-ton, diesel-powered Leopard 2A4 tanks that Finnish firm Patria transformed into specialized engineering vehicles by removing their turrets and adding British-made mineplows. If not, expect them to try again to advance toward Tokmak—either directly along the T0408 road or indirectly from the east or west. It’s a mixed platoon, but one that might reflect the way the battle-hardened engineer battalion fights, either by itself or in cooperation with sappers from adjacent brigades.A Leopard 2R has a heavier and better-protected Leopard 2 tank chassis with a 1,500-horsepower engine. The half florin (also known as a leopard) was an attempt by English King Edward III to produce a gold coinage suitable for use in Europe as well as in England. But with just three Leopard 2Rs left after June 8, 47th Brigade engineer officers might not always have that option.

Ukraine’s allies have pledged scores of specialized engineering vehicles to the war effort, each with the ability to mount a mineplow and attempt a breach. It’s possible they all are—and the 47th Brigade’s engineer battalion soon will be back to full strength with all six of the vehicles.
