War in Europe Germany hands over its Leopards and leaves Spain without excuses
Defense Spanish Leopards are viable if set up
Germany's resounding decision to send Leopard tanks to Ukraine has been the definitive impetus for
Spain
and other European Union countries to join in sending these armored vehicles to help Zelensky in the spring counteroffensive.
As El País
advances and
EL MUNDO
has confirmed
, the
Army
is finalizing the details for its contribution of battleships that will form part of a large donation for Ukraine in which a large group of NATO countries will participate.
This newspaper has already announced that the 53 Leopard cars that the Government of Spain acquired in 1998 from Germany and that rest in the Casetas Logistics Center (Zaragoza) are viable.
According to the aforementioned newspaper, at least 20 of them are in good condition and many others would need the corresponding tuning of any vehicle that is in hibernation.
Spain also has a supply of Leopards in use in Ceuta and Melilla, but it is unlikely that they will be delivered, as it would be without material that is used.
