With your own mane or a matching wig and some make-up (not included) from the cheeks to the neck, a nice wild cat will be made in no time. Ukraine’s tiny force of six Finnish-made Leopard 2R mineclearing vehicles has the tragic distinction of suffering one of the highest loss-rates of any single vehicle community in Russia’s 17-month wider war on Ukraine.

While it might be disturbing for advocates of a free Ukraine to watch as Ukrainian brigades lose much of their best and rarest equipment, it shouldn’t be surprising. The engineer battalions of the 33rd Mechanized and 47th Assault Brigades, the lead formations in Ukraine’s 2023 counteroffensive, suffered heavy equipment losses in their assault just south of Mala Tokmachka last week.Beautiful double gauze fabric with a lovely leopard animal print on a black background by Poppy Europe Fabrics. All that is to say, the destroyed or damaged Leopard 2 tanks, M-2 IFVs and Leopard 2R, IMR-2 and Bergepanzer engineering vehicles the 33rd and 47th Brigades abandoned near Mala Tokmachka last week are the unfortunate but probably unavoidable cost of the most difficult phase of a necessary operation. A Leopard 2R can absorb more damage than a Wisent can do, so if you’re trying to clear a minefield while under fire, you’d send your Leopard 2R first. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

A video that circulated online on Saturday depicts a convoy of 47th Brigade engineering vehicles on the move in Zaporizhzhia. The Russian air force moreover has control of the air over the southern front line and has been able to fly back-to-back sorties with attack helicopters and fighter-bombers—a critical advantage that Ukraine’s ground-based air-defenses haven’t been able to blunt. Given the paucity of news from the front, it’s possible but perhaps unlikely the Ukrainians already have found a way through or around the Mala Tokmachka minefields. It’s a mixed platoon, but one that might reflect the way the battle-hardened engineer battalion fights, either by itself or in cooperation with sappers from adjacent brigades.Other confirmed Ukrainian losses include a Soviet-style IMR-2 engineering vehicle and an ex-German Bergepanzer.

So far just three—the 33rd Mechanized Brigade, 47th Assault Brigade and 37th Marine Brigade—have joined the fight. The eye holes are close together and really small, and when I put it on, it was very very uncomfortable.
