The German government has updated the list of military aid that the country has provided to Ukraine.
In particular, delivered:
-
two self-propelled guns GEPARD and about 6000 ammunition for them;
-
five special vehicles for border protection;
-
29 generators;
-
six 15-ton trucks;
-
six mobile antenna systems;
-
10 roll from containers.
Part of the equipment will be transferred from the Bundeswehr, and part from industry, funded by the government’s modernization initiative.
Recall that Germany, together with the Netherlands and Denmark, plans to supply 100 Leopard 1A5 tanks to Ukraine. By the first 25 units of equipment should arrive in Ukraine by the summer of 2023, and the delivery of Leopard 2A6 tanks is expected at the end of March.
The Gepard APU is based on the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank. Two 35 mm Oerlikon KDA cannons and two radars are installed on the turret, which determine the target at a distance of up to 15 km.
The President of Ukraine will visit Paris on the evening of February 8. The chancellor of Germany will also come there. They will meet with Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace.
