The Leopard 2 A4 from Spain will arrive in Ukraine in the spring, and until then they will be used for military training.
Leopard 2 tanks, which Spain intends to send to Ukraine, will arrive in the spring. This was said by the Minister of Defense of Spain Margarita Robles, reports RTVE.
According to Robles, these are the Leopard 2 A4 tanks located at the base in Zaragoza, which are currently not in use, but it is not indicated exactly how many tanks will be transferred.
“It’s not just about sending tanks, but also training and maintaining crews,” Robles said during a visit to the Spanish military stationed in Latvia as part of NATO’s deployment to the country.
“We will evaluate the necessary repairs. The Allied approach is that this will happen in the spring. Until then, the physical presence of Leopard tanks will not be necessary, and we will use this time for training,” Robles said.
He also added that Germany sent a letter to Spain asking for cooperation in the training of the crew.
Earlier, Spain confirmed its readiness to transfer Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine after Germany agreed to send its own armored vehicles.
