Norway will send its German-made Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine. The government notes that this should happen “quickly”.
Perhaps the tanks will be sent at the end of March. This was stated by Norwegian Defense Minister Bern Arild Gramm.
How many tanks Ukraine receives
Norway has 36 Leopard 2 tanks among its stocks. However, it does not report
We have not yet determined the amount, – said Arild Gramm.
Recall that against the backdrop of large-scale military assistance to Ukraine, Norway on January 25 announced that it would also send Leopard tanks to Kyiv. Gramm then noted that the country would back up this assistance with the training of the Ukrainian military and funding.
The official is convinced that partners should support Ukraine in defense as best as possible.
There will be more tanks
The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny said back in December that he needed 300 tanks to carry out a counteroffensive and drive out the infidels. Subsequently, Ukrainian Ambassador to France Vadim Omelchenko said that the allies promised to provide our state with 321 heavy tanks.
The partners agreed to transfer tanks to our state. In particular, Ukraine will receive Abrams tanks from the US and Challenger 2 from the UK. Germany allowed the re-export of Leopard tanks and announced the transfer of several Leopards to Ukraine.
Among the latest news, Denmark is ready to join the international coalition to transfer tanks to Ukraine
