Location Amsterdam operation area, Amsterdam Theater

Unit T-72 Company of 83rd BTR Battalion, 8th Motorized Rifle Division Cossack

Time 1200 31 March 2018

Enemy Force Panther Force

Outcome I lost 2 to 5

I deployed my T-72 Company in the center on a ridge line across from a Leopard 1, we were both in a hull down status. To my right just out of sight was another Leopard 1 platoon, on the left was a 3rd Leopard 1 platoon of just two tanks hidden behind a few buildings

My company fired at the Leopards across from my position in the center, causing one tank to explode and a second to be temporally out of operation.

The leopard’s across from me, the Commander and two others, fired and then back down the ridge out of sight! A tank of my 2nd Platoon had exploded on the right! I could see smoke come from another!

The 1st Platoon had a tank explode as the Leopards on my left came to the edge of the woods and fired!
My four active tanks fired at the only target available the leopards at the woods edge! I could only confirm one explosion from my position.

The Leopards to my front came forward as one and fired! The first platoon was gone! And then the 2nd Platoon lost a tank from a flank shoot!

With only two active tanks I was backing away from the ridge and turning to engage the force flanking me! I killed one Leopard and the other retreated back into the woods.

As I was adjusting to face the ridge, the last tank of 2nd platoon exploded! The leopards had taken the ridge and were shooting down at us. My tank took a hit; the crew bailed out and run for cover.

I have no more to tell you.
