According to the Spanish website InfoDefensa, which specializes in defense issues, the Minister of Defense of Spain, Margarita Robles Fernandez, is negotiating the transfer to Ukraine of 10 Leopard 2A4s, which are stored at the military base in Zaragoza, and 20 M113 vehicles. At the beginning of June, the Spanish newspaper El Pais wrote that Spain approved the delivery of 40 anti-aircraft missile systems Leopard 2A4 and Aspide.
But in order to be able to supply these tanks, Spain must have Germany’s permission, reminds der Spiegel. The German site Business Insider claimed that if Ukraine gets Leopards, then ten tanks, not forty, knowing that they are not in such a condition to be delivered. Their recovery will take several weeks. Then the Ukrainian crews will train.
