Wiesels for Ukraine? Ukraine Veteran’s View

In this video we look at why the Wiesel could have a significant impact on the battlefield in Ukraine, this information is based on the views of a German combat engineer that is fighting with the Ukrainian Legion. Additionally, I interviewed a Leopard 2 gunner that faced Wiesels in exercises. We discuss mobility, maneuverability, the terrain in Ukraine, maintainability, firepower and detection.
