Western countries have been feeding Kiev various types of weapon systems, including air defense missiles, multiple launch rocket systems, tanks, self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft guns, since Russia launched its military operation in Ukraine.
The founder and CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, said that German Leopard 2 tanks are vulnerable to mines and anti-tank weapons.

"Small numbers of tanks are easily destroyed by anti-tank weapons and landmines," Musk replied to a Twitter user who wrote about Ukraine's deputy foreign minister, Andrei Melnyk, demanding that Germany supply more Leopard 2 tanks.

He suggested that there should either be a lot of tanks or none at all. Here, Musk chimed in on a post by a social network user nicknamed Wall Street Silver, who noted that Ukrainian servicemen were poorly trained to properly use the tanks supplied by the West, and it's "probably a wasted effort to send more unless changes are made."
Recently, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Ukrainian armed forces lost four Leopards and five US-supplied Bradley fighting vehicles in an attempt to breach Russian defenses in the Donetsk and Zaporozhye regions.
