The previously proposed plan provides for the delivery of approximately 100 of these tanks, but a decision has not yet been made, although it was originally expected this week.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is still postponing a final decision on providing Ukraine with the latest high -quality tanks for the war against Russia.
This was reported by European Truth in relation to Politico.

Germany is reportedly considering shipping Marder light tanks-armored vehicles equipped with anti-tank missiles: we are talking about a hundred of these tanks that now stand on the company’s territory .
