Spain may soon transfer 20 more Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by UNN with reference to Infodefensa.
Details
It is noted that the relevant decision was approved by the Interdepartmental Council for Trade and Control of Defense Equipment and Dual-Use Technologies of Spain.
At the same time, the publication says that the tanks are currently undergoing conservation, so it will take some time to repair them before they are delivered to the Armed Forces.
Like other materials, they will be finalized at the Santa Barbara Sistemas plant in Alcalá de Guadaira in Seville before being shipped
