Germany agrees with Poland to repair Leopard tanks damaged in Ukraine

This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to a statement by German Defence Ministry spokesman Mitko Müller at a briefing in Berlin.

"We welcome the fact that now Ukrainian Leopard 2A4 tanks can also be repaired in Poland," the officer said.

Müller praised German-Polish cooperation. The German Defence Ministry spokesperson did not disclose the amount and scope of the repairs.

Previously, such repairs were carried out only in Germany.

German companies are already starting repair works on the 2A5 and 2A6 models. Müller did not rule out that these tanks could be repaired in other countries. 

• On April 26, media reported that a service centre for the maintenance and repair of Ukrainian Leopard 2 tanks would start operating in Poland, in Gliwice, on the basis of the Bumar-Labedy enterprise.
