Germany will finance the delivery of 15 Leopard 2 A4 tanks to the Czech Republic as part of the so-called ring exchange process. As the Ministry of Defense further announced, the tanks are in German industrial stock. The Bundeswehr is taking over the training of Czech soldiers. Ammunition and spare parts will also be included. All necessary agreements are currently being prepared for this purpose.
Nach Aussage von Bundesverteidigungsministerin Christine Lambrecht liefert Tschechien schwere Waffen an die Ukraine, während Deutschland bei der Schließung der dadurch entstehenden Lücken mit Leopard-Panzern hilft. Das habe heute das Kabinett in Prag beschlossen. „Wir werden zudem mit unseren tschechischen Verbündeten in Zukunft bei der Rüstung aber auch bei der strukturellen Zusammenarbeit unserer Streitkräfte noch enger zusammenarbeiten“, kündigte die Ministerin an.
