It's just not built for Counter Insurgency Combat!
Many are gonna jump all over the idea that they have 15 shells stowed in the hull. But check out the following pics.
I know the pics are hard to make out but they showed that when the Leopard 2 was first introduced it was designed to be resistant to Russian guns of the time into the future.
It was also built to be resistant to anti-tank missiles of the era. The caveat? It was hull down facing the threat.
The tank wasn't designed to be involved in 360 degree warfare. It was made to stare the enemy in the eye, to take hits, give them back better than it got and then to get to the next defensive position to do it all over again.
Everyone is so in love with the German Army of WW2 that they don't realize that the Leopard 2 was built as a defensive tank first. Not offensive.
My belief is that we're seeing an unknown heavy anti-tank missile get a lucky hit MAYBE in an unplanned top attack on the front hull of the Turk Leopard. I think it penetrated the compartment, set off those rounds and it was all over but the tears.
