IIRC the diagonal bolt on "armor" is spaced to bust off the penetrator and/or disrupt the shaped charge.  The real armor is still the slab shaped thing you see on the earlier Lepoard 2's.  So this hole may not indicate real damage.

The A6s were taken from active Bundeswehr units, they aren't export versions.

As far as I know the Germans only removed some electronic components.

The Ukrainian "Nizh" (Knife).

Small shaped charges are activated upon impact and damage the incoming projectile. It is small and very effective even against kinetic projectiles, potentially being better than Relikt.

News item | 24-01-2024 | 16:13

First ‘Ukraine’ tanks purchased by the Netherlands and Denmark ready for use
The first 2 of 14 Leopard 2 A4 tanks bound for Ukraine have been overhauled by the German manufacturer Rheinmetall.

The Netherlands and Denmark ordered the armoured vehicles last year. The battle tanks will now first be sent to Poland in order to train Ukrainian tank crews in how to use them.

@TheDeadDistrict
This prototype of the Challenger-3, along with further prototypes to follow close behind, will soon show their capabilities on trials. During the trials the prototypes will be tested under operational conditions to validate their performance and make refinements before another 140 are built and delivered to the British Army.

The Challenger 3 platform will be fitted with a new 120mm L55A1 smoothbore gun built by Rheinmetall, enabling the use of the most advanced ammunition available. Next Generation UK-sovereign modular armour, a fully digitised turret and integration of Trophy Medium Variant APS onto the platform will protect against rocket propelled grenades and anti-tank missiles and provide the British Army with a step change in war-fighting capability.

KSK is the SF unit of the Heer (Army), equivalent would be Delta Force.

KSM is the SF unit of the Marine (Navy), similiar mission as the Navy SEALs.
