“Faster and more accurate than the T-64 and T-72,” – that’s what our servicemen say about the Leopard,” the Commander’s post reads.
According to Pavliuk, driver-mechanics hone mandatory exercises to become automatic, in particular, turning on the spot, driving on a narrow section, overcoming mine-explosive barriers and entering a hill without rolling back.
