It could be to maintain certain distance from the armor, allowing the shaped charge more space to form in case of slat or spaced armor.

Hi
my thought is at the end of the war, whenever it will be it will
be something like on the lines of North & South Korea demilitarise
zone & eventually south side will be annexed in NATO or army of
NATO countries will be stationed there
just a thought
thank you
Leopard 2's performance has been consistently underwhelming everytime it has been used in combat. It's an overhyped weapon, plain and simple. Everytime Leopard 2 has seen combat it was crewed by NATO members or crew that has actual combat experience AND trained by NATO. Stop blaming the crew and tactics. We have already seen from competitions and actual combat that Ukrainian tankers should be considered satisfactory at the very least. Put German crews in the same situation and we will most likely see far worse disaster than what we have here already. Perhaps if we evaluate it on the same level of T-80BV(M) and T-72B(3) we will get a more balanced understanding of its actual performance. Having more realistic expectation is key.

Russian artillery blasting away at Ukrainian vehicles in Seversk.
Ukrainian command post at Krasny Liman becomes the target of a Lancet drone.
This is the situation happening what was described before. What happens if if your allies' vehicle gets hit right next to you? Do you stop and help rescue your comrades? Or just run away with your life as quickly as possible. Two Humvees are in dire straights and the surviving Humvee answers that question.
This from the POV of a Bradley under fire and immobilized. Bradleys ahead has already been either knocked out or immobilized.

There's intelligence value in capturing complete working NATO comms equipment for a teardown analysis of their hardwired capabilities.
Locally, there's (time sensitive) value if they've been abandoned without resetting frequencies or encryption keys.
You remember those Bradley coming to assist the bunch of stuck ones with the 2A6 ? They have gone nowhere after it...
Seems this Bradley tossed its turret
Nato tanks and soviet ones are acting the same way... it's not surprising. Would have been way better for Ukraine and Europe to settle things with Minsk 2. What a mess.
Don't know if we will see movements during this summer on the front and on peacetalks. No side want to put water in their wine at all.
Russian troops inspect captured Leopard 2A6.
And here is the video of that other Leopard 2A6 being hit with a Lancet.

Oh come on this „another Leo 2“ had been discussed to death… it’s neither new nor a Leo, it’s just the first kill of farmer’s equipment again.
