Germany will send guided missiles and additional Gepard artillery systems to Ukraine

It was reported by Handelsblatt with reference to the statement of the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

"Ukraine will receive more than 100 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks from several European countries," he said.

Pistorius noted that at least three Ukrainian battalions should be equipped with these tanks by the first or second quarter of 2024.

According to the head of the German Ministry of Defense, by the end of the month Ukraine will receive more guided missiles, as well as five Gepard anti-aircraft guns and five Pioneer 2A1 Dachs engineering vehicles.

Five Biber bridge-layer tanks will be delivered in March.
