A Swiss company can be a supplier. However, this requires permission from the Swiss government.
The Netherlands intends to buy dozens of Leopard 1 tanks for Ukraine. Nos.nl reports this on Thursday, June 1, citing its own sources.
It is noted that a Swiss company can be a supplier. However, this requires permission from the Swiss government. At the same time, the Swiss leadership is keen to stay out of the conflict with Russia and this puts supplies at risk.
Recall that at the end of April, the Netherlands announced that together with Denmark they will buy 14 Leopard 2-A4 battle tanks for Ukraine. Their cost is about 165 million euros.
How much the Swiss Leopard 1 tanks cost is still unknown.
Also in the Netherlands, it was previously reported that by the end of 2023, at least 80 Leopard 1 tanks will arrive in Ukraine. And the Leopard 2 batch is on top of them. In total, it is planned to transfer up to 100 Leopard 1 tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
