‘Scrap metal’ – Ukraine rejects 10 German Leopard 1 tanks in need of repairs <~ REMIX | Magyar Hirlap

Germany promised Ukraine 100 outdated Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks

September 20, 2023 MAGYAR HÍRLAP READ

Ukraine last week refused to take delivery of 10 Leopard 1A5 tanks from Germany because of their unsatisfactory technical condition, Der Spiegel reported.

The article reveals that Kyiv has informed the special command under the German Ministry of Defense that German weapons systems that arrived in Poland need to be repaired. However, as neither the necessary technical personnel nor spare parts are available, “there is no point in sending the Leopards to Ukraine”.

The statement from Kyiv has “raised concerns” in Berlin, the magazine notes. The German defense ministry urgently sent specialists to Poland to service the tanks. On the spot, it turned out that the tanks were indeed in need of repairs.
