On December 7, the German edition of FAZ Politik wrote that the United States supported the idea of passing the tanks of German production to Ukraine. At once, two sources stated that Washington made it clear that they did not mind the transfer of German tanks to the Ukrainian army. Previously, Berlin's position was such that they would not take the first step, and the allies should take such a step first.
The Head of the Defense Committee stated that during her visit to Washington she received confirmation from the State Department, Congress and the Senate that such a step was justified. "Our partners expect Germany to fulfill their duties. We should not throw Ukraine. They need tanks," Strak-Mimmerman said. In the comments, she added that no one was providing so much military assistance as the United States.
But it makes no sense to throw tanks through 9000 km if Germany can give enough tanks to support in Europe. The war goes "on the threshold. " "Europe can provide enough Leopard, and we can give at once 50-100 BMP Marder, which cannot be replaced throughout the year," said the Head of the Defense Committee.
The European Council for External Relations in the article on how Leopards can help Ukraine return their territories that Leopard 2 tanks are in service with 13 countries: more than 2000 Leopard tanks are being prepared in total. More than half of them are modifications 2A4 and 2A5. Another part is the most modern 2a7 and others. We will remind, the Minister of Defense Alexei Reznikov expressed optimism on the transfer from NATO Western tanks and aircraft.
