After months of talks and discussions US and Germany both has agreed to send Heavy Armoury to Ukraine in its fight against Russia. According to the unnamed sources, Berlin has also granted other countries, such as Poland and Finland, the licence to re-export the German-made tanks to Ukraine.
Germany will be sending at least 12 Leopard-2 Tanks. Meanwhile, US announces at least 30 M1 Abrams tanks to be shipped to Ukraine.
“If the United States decides to supply tanks, then justifying such a step with arguments about ‘defensive weapons’ will definitely not work. This would be another blatant provocation against the Russian Federation,” said Russian Envoy to the US.
Leopard-2 Tanks are considered one of the best in the west. They are third generation German main battle tank. Developed by Krauss-Maffei in the 1970s, the tank first entered service in 1979 and replaced the earlier Leopard 1.
