The taxpaying public were told for years that Western tanks, particularly the Leopard 2A6 variants, were the most advanced things in the world and would easily destroy Russian tanks in a head-to-head duel due to their superior optics, fire control systems (FCS), barrel accuracies, ammunition range and ballistics, gun stabilization, etc. The Leopards were all knocked, one-by-one, shortly after appearing on the battlefield. One Russian 2-man tank crew took out five Leopards in succession in a little more than 2 minutes.
