  The tanks, reported as Leopard 1 A5 tanks, include 25 battle tanks, five armored rescue vehicles and two training tanks, all from industrial stocks. The order covers training, logistics, spare parts, repairs and other support services.

  According to reports, the "Leopard 1" tank was built after World War II and was produced from the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. It was once the main main battle tank of the Federal Republic of Germany. The "Leopard 1" tank was retired in 2003. The Rheinische Post stated that Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands announced in February that the three countries would provide Ukraine with 2 tanks produced in Germany. 30 of them have arrived in Ukraine.

  Rheinmetall said that through this order, it will "continue to provide support services to Ukraine." The company has been commissioned to deliver a total of 80 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine. By the end of 2023 and early 2024, five Caracal airborne assault vehicles will also be supplied to Ukraine. In addition, supplies such as ammunition, drones and medical equipment are also included.

  German media also recently reported that the German government plans to continue to increase military assistance to Ukraine in 2024, increasing the original budget of 40 billion euros to 80 billion euros. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the plan at a meeting of defense ministers of EU member states held in Brussels on the 14th. However, the plan still needs to be approved by parliament.
