A Leopard 2A4 tank performs a textbook ambush on a column of Russian armoured vehicles.
Typical ambush tactics for a convoy. You kill the last vehicle first, because no one else typically has eyes on it, so everyone will be confused for a few seconds. If you kill the first one first everyone knows what is going on instantly. Killing the rear vehicle is not always feasible, however.
Next you kill the first vehicle. You now have a dead vehicle at the rear, and a dead vehicle in the front, and if the road is narrow enough, you have created a kill zone. The convoy cant reverse without going off road, and it cant advance without going off road, either.
You call in artillery immediately on this kill zone. Or, if you’ve timed your ambush right, you put command detonated explosives on the road side and fuck everyone up as they try to get out of the kill zone.
