Описание: This article explores Ukraine’s adaptation of the Leopard-1A5DK tank, a Danish variant of the Leopard 1, to meet the demands of modern warfare. Originally designed with light armor for greater mobility, the Leopard 1A5 has been upgraded with Kontakt-1 explosive reactive armor (ERA) to counter threats from FPV drones and anti-tank missiles. While Kontakt-1 ERA enhances protection by neutralizing hollow-charge projectiles, it also increases the tank's weight, impacting its speed and maneuverability. This adaptation demonstrates Ukraine’s strategic response to asymmetrical warfare, balancing armor upgrades with the need for mobility against high-tech threats, including drones. The article examines how the Leopard-1A5’s new armor configuration affects its agility in urban and open-field combat, and the broader implications for armored vehicle use in Ukraine’s conflict. Learn about the challenges faced by the 5th Armored Regiment as it operates these Leopard-1A5DKs in a rapidly evolving battlespace.
