Spain is ready to transfer 53 Leopard tanks to Ukraine, but they need re-equipment

On January 26, Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles announced Spain’s readiness to supply tanks to Ukraine, but stressed the need to refurbish them

She said this during a meeting of representatives of six countries that have Leopard 2 tanks, RTVE reports.

"There is a clear goal to end the war as soon as possible and bring peace. We are talking about coordinated work, with which we support Ukraine," the minister said.

She insisted that Spain could deliver the Leopard 2 A4s that are in Zaragoza, "but some of them cannot be used, and we are going to analyze which ones can be refurbed."

According to Reuters, there are 53 tanks at the Zaragoza base.
