According to russian media reports, a commander of a russian military tank battalion, operating under the call sign Tiger, has shared a tale of the initial clash with a Leopard 2 main battle tank.
Allegedly, the Leopard 2 tank crew had intentions to launch an attack on the russian position, but it was detected by russian intelligence. Reacting swiftly, the Tiger's crew opened fire on the Leopard 2 tank, supposedly forcing it to retreat. However, due to the rough terrain, the russian tankers were unable to successfully hit their target.

Interestingly, russian media previously covered instances of russian forces encountering Leopard 2 MBTs, which had been transferred by the country that didn’t even have them in 2022.
Moreover, in April 2023, it was reported that the saboteurs captured a Leopard tank but “failed to transport it to the rear" and were forced to sink it in a swamp. However, no visual evidence wasn’t provided.
