Could not one of the two been striked by F-16?
From the photos available I see no sign that a Leopard was destroyed from the air. Maybe it did happen but we have no photos.
Some people were speculating that this Leopard was destroyed from an strike:
Here the left side of the tank is heavily damaged with scrap metal all around, I would say that it got rammed with a VBIED and the overpresure from the blast breached the tank and caused the turret to fly off.
Here the Leopard was almost certainly hit from an ATGM or maybe even a simple RPG-7. The blast door in the storage bustle appears to have worked, but who knows if the blast door inside the tank held up.
Source about where did TSK said that they destroyed a leopard tank with an airstrike?
This is what Turkish members have been saying.
