The saga of the Western Panzerkampfwagen in Donbass and Ukraine
from thefreeonline on /2023/06/18 by Nicolas Cinquini at nicolascinquini.blog/flash-7/
- Overture
A little over 80 years ago, in 1941, under the leadership of Germany, Europe invaded the Soviet Union. In June 1942, Ukraine was the rear base of a Nazi offensive toward the Caucasus and Volga river, but in January 1943, the annihilation of Friedrich Paulus’ 6. Armee at Stalingrad reversed the tide of WW2. The last Nazi offensive, in July, triggered around Kursk the largest tank battle in history and a new Soviet victory. The Red Army liberated Kiev in November 1943 and seized Berlin in May 1945
Lviv is in western Ukraine the epicenter of a Nazi legacy since WW2. Late 2013, an economic dispute with the European Union led, in western Ukraine and Kiev, to a pro-Europe uprising against the legal government.
With the help of Nazi political organizations from Lviv and likely, foreign provocative gunmen, NATO achieved a rightist coup in February 2014.
Later, Russian-speaking residents of Crimea and Donbass have rose up against the Russophobia of the new authorities, which called them terrorists and cracked down on them with the loyal members of the armed forces and the same Nazi militants, now legalized as paramilitaries.
That was the outbreak of war in Donbass. NATO countries offered their military support to Ukraine from the beginning.
Galvanized, the successive Ukrainian governments did not seriously negotiate and did not implement the Minsk peace agreements. Former German Kanzlerin, Angela Merkel confessed the ‘Minsk deception’ to der Zeit on December 7, 2022 later confirmed by others.
2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to buy Ukraine time. It has used this time to strengthen itself, as can be seen today
France and Germany were hypocritical when they sponsored an agreement which was supposed to cease fire and bring peace.
The Western goal was actually to gain time, in order for NATO to reinforce the military power of the Ukrainian Nazi deep State. Ukraine has carried on with the terrorist shelling of civilians.
Finally on February 24, 2022, Russia started a special military operation, in order to liberate Donbass, demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.
That is the proxy war that NATO was seeking. Why ? In order to preserve a hegemony on the decline if not already an illusion, against Russia, China and most of the wide world, for a new world order against a multipolar one, the US and their European vassals are regarding that war as an opportunity of strategic victory. Their wet dream is to dismember Russia and subdue China
Among other symbolic references to Nazism and German army during WW2, the Ukrainian military vehicles are displaying a white cross since September 2022
The Balkenkreuz [bar cross] was the common sign on German Panzer on September 1, 1939, when began the invasion of Poland and WW2. The symbol later evolved and remained until 1945
Russia began enforcing an attrition strategy. The operations became a carnage for the Ukrainian forces. While the Ukrainian artillery is firing around 6,000 shells a day all along the front line, the Russian consumption may rise to 50,000, claimed a senior anonymous NATO official.
In view of the Russian air supremacy and tactical, operational and strategic strikes on military targets, despite the massive involvement of Western intelligence, the Ukrainian casualties are obviously far higher
According to a Russian mathematical model, the Ukrainian military fatalities since February 24 are currently above 150,000. On November 30, the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, confirmed that the death toll was already above 100,000. The fatalities are not restricted to the Ukrainian cannon fodder, Western mercenaries are also killed in the ranks of that Atlanticist army
(by the start of the Great Offensive Ukrainian military deaths have reached over 300,000 -confirmed by RF Kennedy)
The stronghold of the Atlanticist defense system in the still occupied part of Donbass, Bakhmut, also called Artemovsk, was a hot spot, where the Ukrainian reserves were sacrificed
In the hope of turning the tide in 2023, Ukraine received Western armored fighting vehicles (AFV), 59 US infantry fighting vehicles (IFV) Bradley, 40 German IFV Marder and 30 French AMX-10 RC, which are not tanks, despite their 105 mm gun, but old armored recce vehicles
On January 11, 2023, Volodymyr Zelenskyy met in Lviv, western Ukraine, his counterparts from Lithuania and Poland, Gitanas Nausėda and Andrzej Duda. Together, they decided to reinforce in Ukraine the defense of the so-called Euro-Atlantic coalition.
Poland would transfer a company of German-made Leopard tanks
In the wake, the UK announced the delivery of 14 Challenger tanks. But in matter of Leopards, Poland and the other east European good wills needed that Germany allows their export.
On January 19, der Bundestag debated the delivery of Panzer to Ukraine. Member of parliament Peter Bystron, AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany, right-wing), stated
German Panzer against Russia in Ukraine ? By the way, you already tried that with the Melnyks and Banderas [Stepan Bandera, Ukrainian Nazi leader during WW2] and what is the result ? Unspeakable suffering, millions of dead on both sides and in the end, Russian tanks here in Berlin !
He added
The conflict in Ukraine cannot be solved with Panzer, only with diplomacy […] Only the US armaments companies benefit from arms deliveries […] The majority of the German people reject arms deliveries to Ukraine. The traffic light government [red-green] should finally start conducting politics in the interests of the German people
A number of parties were opposing the transfer and the decision was postponed. Meanwhile, the Russian regular forces started attacking in the south, are threatening Orekhovsky, 65 km southeast of Ukrainian-occupied Zaporojie, on the left bank of Dnieper river. If confirmed and successful, such an offensive could lead to the destruction of the Atlanticist forces east of the river
Andriy Melnyk is the previous ambassador to Germany, a revisionist and an apologist of his national hero, Ukrainian Nazi war criminal Stepan Bandera. On November 18, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed him deputy foreign affairs minister. On January 20, 2023, Melnyk called for a tank coalition in Ukraine
Representatives of the Atlanticist coalition, the US, Ukraine and their auxiliaries, met the same day in the US military base in Ramstein, Germany, but did not announce the delivery of Leopard or Abrams tanks
According to dem Spiegel, the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND, German intelligence) was then assessing that the Atlanticist forces were losing three-digit numbers of soldiers every day around Bakhmut.
On January 21, a Wagner fighter proudly displayed his trophies, including the chevrons that he had seized in Bakhmut area, on demilitarized foreign mercenaries from Canada, Georgia, Italy, Turkey, the UK and US
In the Ostgebiete [eastern territories] on January 23, the psychodrama went on when Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki stated
We will apply for such consent from Germany, but this is a secondary topic. Even if we do not get this consent at the end, as part of a small coalition, even if the Germans would not be in this coalition, we will still hand over our tanks [German Leopards] together with others to Ukraine. The condition for us at the moment is to build at least a just small coalition of States […] in Western Europe […]
The campaign #FreeTheLeopards began trending on social networks, with involvement of characters like Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin
and German stylist Frank Peter Wild, who was advocating for a while on Instagram, from his elevator in Berlin
Here was the distribution of Leopard Panzerkampfwagen across Europe on January 23, 2023
The suspense ends the same day, when according to dem Spiegel and other German outlets, Kanzler Olaf Scholz agreed to send German Panzerkampfwagen to Ukraine. The historians will measure the part of the submission to the US and that of a pure German neurosis
My brief forecast : the Western tanks are carrying four crew members, require training, will not be soon on the front line. A few dozens will not turn the tide in Ukraine, but will be destroyed.
According to the Russian defense ministry, the Atlanticist forces have already lost more than 7,600 tanks and other AFVs in 11 months, since February 24, 2022.
The spectacle of the combustion on the battlefield of Western tanks may have a larger psychological and political impact than their military influence
- January 25, 2023
The government confirms that Germany will send 14 Leopards to Ukraine. The plan is to form two battalions, that is about 88 tanks, with contribution of other countries. New German defense minister, Boris Pistorius predicts that these formations may reach the front line in about three months, that is early May.
Poland has already announced the delivery of a company, that is 14 vehicles. Germany has managed to convince the US, which will deliver 31 Abrams, confirms Joe Biden. 14 British Challengers should be also part of the 88 Western Panzerkampfwagen ultimately engaged in Ukraine.
75% of mankind are eager to watch their wrecks on the battlefield.
For a wide majority of Russians, the near involvement of Western tanks is a reminder of the Great Patriotic War against Nazi Europe. Some channels are giving advice on how to burn the new German Panzerkampfwagen
Ukraine needed crew members and more broadly, a new batch of cannon fodder. I guess some recruits were volunteers in March 2022, but most are likely dead by now.
The scenes of forced mobilization are increasingly cruel. An amateur video surfaces from Cherkasy. The woman has attempted to record the abduction of the man

The first rewards are offered on social networks. One million rubles for the first captured Panzerkampfwagen, the half for the first destroyed one..etc..
The Hunt is ON
The same day, Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh states
we just don’t have these tanks [Abrams M1A2] available in excess in our US stocks
That is why the vehicles for Ukraine shall be manufactured. According to Politico, the sole plant is producing 12 machines per month, is overbooked for Taiwan and Poland, which is eager to replace its 250 T-72 already delivered to Ukraine.

The near shipment of German Panzerkampfwagen to Ukraine makes people think in Charlottenburg, West Berlin
- January 29, 2023
The supposed Ukrainian crew members of British Challenger tanks have arrived in the UK for training
- February 3, 2023
Berlin has approved their exportation, Rheinmetall company plans to sell 88 Leopard I (one) to Ukraine for €100 million. The tank entered service in 1965. The version should be 1A5, an improvement in 1987, but the gun is still 105 mm and the armor is feeble. The Westerners have no regard for the Ukrainian cannon fodder
- February 7, 2023
German defense minister Boris Pistorius (left) visits Kiev, has brought the model of a Leopard 2 to Oleksii Reznikov, who is still his counterpart for a few days. Reznikov is falling because of a corruption scandal within his ministry. Surprising. The prosecution of a corruption case is surprising in Ukraine
Meanwhile, Ukrainian formations are training at the Belarus border, are displaying their Balkenkreuze
- February 9, 2023
Handelsblatt has interviewed Armin Papperger, Rheinmetall CEO. The German company is talking to Kyiv about exporting the Panther […] in 15 to 18 months. Still under development, the KT (Kettenfahrzeug [tracked vehicle]) 51 Panther is based on the hull of the Leopard 2A4, with a new turret, a 130 mm gun and its auto-loader
The Panzerkampfwagen [armored fighting car] V Panther was intended to counter the Soviet T-34, was baptized in Kursk vicinity in July 1943, during the largest tank battle in history, a Soviet victory and a defeat for Nazi Europe
The disgrace is that so many Germans have forgotten so quickly that they are most offspring of Nazis. If modern Germany was a respectable country, its leaders would consider the legitimate demands of Russia, would strive to bring peace in such a situation, would not send Panzer.

Public radio station Deutschlandfunk broadcasts the interview of 96-year-old Joachim Höppner, who was tank gunner within the Wehrmacht, 2. Panzerdivision, was involved in the battle of the Bulge, from December 1944 to January 1945, was later taken prisoner on the east front and detained in Soviet Ukraine. The interview provokes the ire of Andriy Melnyk and BILD, a grassroots reactionary tabloid for German rednecks.
Melnyk is the current deputy foreign affairs minister in Ukraine, a revisionist and an ardent thurifer of Stepan Bandera, the Ukrainian Nazi leader during WW2.
Höppner has become paficist, states about Panzerkampfwagen shipment to Ukraine
What are these heavy weapons which are being supplied ? What are the people who make such decisions thinking about ? You can’t solve any problems with weapons
BILD trolls hard, attacks Höppner and Deutschlandfunk over the military experience of the first, veteran within the Wehrmacht, but is supporting a modern Ukrainian State who is usually paying tribute to the Ukrainian SS and the UPA, a Nazi paramilitary formation during WW2.
Its editorial line is for the Germans, the most in West Germany, who under the US umbrella, did not achieve their grieve about the German Nazi defeat against Soviet Union, which scored 80% of the German military losses during WW2. BILD is the prominent illustration of a German neurosis.
How dumm or rather neurotic are such Germans, who become mad when Russia is conducting a special military operation in Donbass and Ukraine, but duck when the US sabotage Nord Stream.

The Washington Post is a US militant outlet, which is expressing a strong support to Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Ukraine. On February 14, Michael de Adder has drawn an interesting cartoon. The NATO team, no specific country, is hurrying up to prepare Ukraine for a spring offensive. And the tank is a German Leopard
But
WE HAVE LEFT OUT MARCH AND APRIL AND JUMP FORWARD TO
May 20, 2023
Wo sind die Panzer ? WHERE ARE THE F…..ING LEOPARDS?
Except some APCs, mostly destroyed or seized, no other Western armored vehicles, no Panzekampfwagen, have been involved so far on the battlefield. At 3:50 pm, local time, one year after another liberation, the surrender in Mariupol of Nazi Azov regiment, Yevgeny Prigozhin announces that the Russian forces have achieved a complete victory in Bakhmut, Donetsk People’s Republic, Donbass, Russia. No Atlanticist fighter remains alive in the city
I do not think that a few dozen Western tanks would turn the tide in Donbass or Ukraine. But the spectacle of their combustion may have a larger psychological and political impact than their military influence. That is the reason why failing a real counter-offensive so far, they have not been involved. Because the way the Atlanticist forces have been bled since August 2022, in the trap of Bakhmut meat grinder, may have ruined the opportunities for such a counter-offensive.

Remake in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, of what happened in Berlin, Germany, on February 25. In partnership with the Ukrainian authorities, the municipality displays a Russian damaged T-72 tank in the city. But people are later coming to lay flowers on the vehicle and demonstrate against the military support to Ukraine
The mayor is 57-year-old Femke Halsema (left), member of GroenLinks [green left], the same political affiliation than Annalena Baerbock, the cataclysmic 42-year-old German foreign affairs minister.

GREAT COUNTER-OFFENSIVE BEGINS!
- June 5, 2023
In a region about 140 km north of Berdyansk, where Ukrainian formations have already tested the Russian defenses the day before, a few Leopard 2 are spotted in Novodonetskoye, a village that the assailants manage to seize, about 80 km southwest of Donetsk
As expected, the Atlanticist losses are already significant and the first photos of abandoned, likely damaged Western AFVs, surface on social networks. These are French AMX-10 recce vehicles
In the night, the Russian defense ministry counts 137 enemy armored vehicles, including 25 tanks, all destroyed that day in the same region. The Atlanticist forces would have lost eight Leopards and three AMXs.
- June 6, 2023
Russia has regained Novodonetskoye, Donetsk People’s Republic, that the Atlanticist forces seized the day before at a heavy price.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive appears so far as a bloody failure and the Russian defense ministry releases a video from a helicopter which has destroyed a Leopard 2 Panzerkampfwagen
- June 8, 2023
On social networks, some members of Azov regiment are bragging
tonight is the night of the nights
At 1:30 am, a new attack begins south of Orekhov, Zaporojie region, about 100 km southwest of the failure on June 6
The assault on the front line is synchronized with shelling in Tokmak, 40 km further south, 60 km north of Melitopol, which could be a new goal, in order to isolate Crimea from mainland Russia.
The ammunition are US made GMLRS rockets, that HIMARS are launching
In the evening, the Russian defense ministry releases a splendid video from Orekhov vicinity. An Atlanticist mechanized column is entangled in minefields and shelled, a platoon of Leopards 2 in front, US made M113 behind. At least one Leopard is burning, more seem disabled.
- June 9, 2023
Volodymyr Zelenskyy publishes on Telegram the photo of a military meeting. Commander of the Ukrainian ground forces, colonel general Oleksandr Syrskyi stands at his right. Valery Zaluzhny, the chief of staff, is missing
At midnight, the Atlanticist attack resumes south of Orekhov. One mechanized battalion is committed, according to journalist Alexander Sladkov. The assailants do not succeed and for the first time, Russian sources are reporting the destruction of several US made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs)
The outcome appears in the afternoon, through a video which has surfaced on social networks. One German made Leopard 2 and several Bradleys are burnt along a trail.
The analysis of the whole document shows, in that sole section of the battlefield, the wrecks of 5 Leopards, 6 Bradleys, 3 MaxxPro mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles (MRAP), one French VAB [véhicule de l’avant blindé] armored personnel carrier (APC) and several others
- June 10, 2023
A third time in a row, the Atlanticist forces attack the same positions, south of Orekhov,
of the 42nd -Evpatoriyskaya Red Banner- guards motorized division. Minefield, artillery, kamikaze drones and anti tank guided missiles (ATGM) repel the mechanized columns.
The offensive is losing steam and this time, the Russian defenders do not even need air support
On June 7, Olaf Scholz has stated
we are at war for so many weeks and now, it is important that we take decisive steps forward
Seid ihr ? But the situation has worsened for the German Panzerkampfwagen, since the battle around Kursk, in July 1943.
Nowadays, the Nazis are until now unable to break the first Russian defense line
New Bradleys have agglomerated at the site spotted the day before. Such a traffic jam of wrecked armored fighting vehicles is rare in history
- June 11, 2023
On another site of the battlefield, south of Orekhov, members of the 22nd -Joukov- guards special brigade have recorded a video.
Here are new wrecks of Leopard 2A6 tank, Leopard 2R heavy mine breaching vehicle (HMBV), Bergepanzer 3 armoured recovery vehicle (ARV), Bradley and MaxxPro
In Strasbourg on September 14, 2022, Ursula von der Leyen, the German president of the European Commission, stated
Russian military is taking chips from dishwashers and refrigerators to fix their military hardware, because there are no semiconductors anymore. Russia’s industry is in tatters
Let’s have fun……..
- June 16, 2023
The Atlanticist forces are attacking in vain Pyatikhatki, a village 15 km northeast of Vasilyevka, on the left bank of Dnieper river, in Zaporojie region
The 19th -Red Banner of Labor- motorized division is defending the area, has been reinforced with T-62 tanks, which are used as assault guns
Along the front line, Russian special forces (SSO) are bounty-hunting the Western Panzerhampfwagen with ATGMs, sometimes onboard customized civilian vehicles
- June 18, 2023
After the breakage of dozens Leopard Panzerkampfwagen and Bradley IFVs, a British Challenger tank appears close to the front in a video that Ukrainian channels are sharing on social networks

HERE CONCLUDED CINQUINI’S DIARY.. SEE FULL ORIGINAL HERE https://nicolascinquini.blog/2023/01/25/panzer-marsch/

*********
The above summary follows the fate of western SUPER WEAPONS that were hyped to smash the Russians.
The Great Offensive has vanished in disgrace from the Western media after the spectacle of mass burning of Leopards, Bradleys etc, and pathetic mass attacks that “did not even reach the first Russian defence lines”.
Not even considered by the Western sponsors is the grisly fate, the needless deaths already of an estimated 7,500 Ukrainian soldiers, mostly forced conscripts, ordered into minefields under an artillery blitz with no air cover, to preserve the myth that ‘UKRAINE IS WINNING’ and keep the flood of money and weapons flowing.
So where does the western ‘LETS SMASH RUSSIA’ agenda go from here?
No Answer, No Real Strategy, Turn up the Propaganda volume, or Let’s talk about UFOs and Chinese Balloons instead….
