Ukraine is using its advanced Leopard tanks as a 'nocturnal predator' fighting mostly at night and at dawn, soldier says

• Ukrainian troops praised the advanced Leopard 2A6 tank's night vision as an advantage over Russia.
• One said they use the tank as a "nocturnal predator," operating mostly at night and dawn.
• Another said the long-range night vision gives them a "close to a 100% success rate."

A Ukrainian tank loader said his brigade is using its new, modern Leopard 2A6 tanks like "nocturnal predators," taking advantage of their night vision to target Russia in low light.

Yurii, a tank loader with Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade, said in a video for Ukraine's military that "We mainly operate at night and at dawn."

He said this was because this is when the tank is at its most effective, "just like a cat."
