Netherlands, Denmark to supply 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine this summer
This summer, the Netherlands and Denmark will send 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine. These tanks, purchased last year, have been repaired and are currently being tested
The Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands reported this on its website.
The 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks, bought by the Netherlands for Ukraine, were previously used. The German company Rheinmetall has overhauled these combat vehicles.
As noted, on July 24 and 25, the last two Leopard tanks are undergoing verification tests as part of the delivery process. The first 12 tanks have already been sent. All 14 tanks are set to be delivered by the end of the summer.
"Ukraine urgently needs more military support, given the heavy fighting on the battlefield. These tanks can play an important role in protecting the Ukrainian army from Russian forces. The Netherlands, together with its allies and partners, will continue to support Ukraine as long as necessary. This is extremely important to protect Ukraine and deter Putin's aggression," emphasized the Dutch Defense Minister.
The agency highlights that the Leopard 2A4 can help Ukraine gain an advantage on the battlefield. These tanks offer great firepower, excellent crew protection, and speed.
- On July 10, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Denmark and the Netherlands have begun transferring F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.
- On July 15, it was revealed that Spain started delivering a new batch of military aid to Ukraine, which includes 10 Leopard 2A4 tanks, shells, and excavators.
