Leo2A4 destroyed

[Wdll]

Here is the article.

I do wonder (if the article is accurate of course), what happened to the destroyed Leo2A4. My first thought was that it was captured and then destroyed. My second that it was hit in the ammo somehow.

What do you guys think?

This site has a video too: https://southfront.org/isis-releases...ary-equipment/

They have the APC moving but the Leo is not running - perhaps the Turks destroyed/ immobilised them?

The photos also include a sequence of a tank being hit by an ATGM (Kornet?) don't know if that same as destroyed tank on site you linked too (I did notice although both say 2 tanks captured they only show one!)

This (probably more reputable site) lists all armoured vehicles captured by ISIS:

No mention of the Leos

It appears to me that list was compiled before this incident occurred.

No good new for the Turks but I did get Turkish Desert Camo from it

This article from defence blog is dated 3 days before the above link and identifies it as ATGM hits (Fagot or Konkurs) , http://defence-blog.com/army/two-tur...-in-syria.html

And a Konkurs in the side WILL ruin your day

And having a hull down position and the tank next to you destroyed by an atgm and not doing a thing about it is guaranteed to ruin your day really soon...

Like one armoured corps officer said, "using the tanks like Iraqi army in 1990's as a static fortress..."

It is possible the Turks destroyed their tank with an airstrike or something.

If the Turks didn't send in airstrikes to destroy those vehicles ( and anything else they found moving in the area) that would be a serious lapse in judgement on their part that will come back to bite them

In general the Turkish military performs quite average in Syria. And to get into a game issue, I think their inflated base experience and morale are not in accordnance to their RL performance...
