This was reported by the press service of the German government, according to “European Pravda.”

In addition to 22 Leopard 1 A5 tanks, which the country transferred jointly with Denmark, as well as 61,000 155-mm caliber ammunition, Ukraine will also receive:

  • five tracked all-terrain vehicles Bandvagn 206 (BV206);

In particular, Germany transferred to Ukraine 30 VECTOR reconnaissance drones with spare parts, as well as:
