The Lithuanians demonstrated the operation of the repaired tanks at the training ground in Gaiziūnai of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Soon, these armored vehicles will again be on the battlefield in Ukraine. The Lithuanian Ministry of Defense announced this on December 15 on the social network X.
“Lithuania consistently supports Ukraine’s struggle for independence and not only provides military support, but also helps repair Leopard tanks that are desperately needed on the battlefield,” said Lithuanian Defense Minister Arvydas Anusauskas.
The defense department did not disclose details of how many Leopards were repaired in Lithuania. The restoration of damaged Ukrainian equipment is being carried out by the Little Defense Services company, which was created in 2022 by the German companies Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann. The company began repairing the Leopards in October.
Let us remind you that in July the Leopard tank repair and maintenance center opened in Poland. A defense enterprise was opened in the city of Gliwice; it repairs and carries out maintenance on tanks damaged during the fighting in Ukraine.
