Madrid sent 10 more upgraded Leopard 2A4 battle tanks to Ukraine, reported the "Kyiv Independent".
According to the Spanish Ministry of Defense, the tanks were repaired, maintained and tested at the manufacturing plant Santa Barbara Sistemas in the province of Seville. With this batch, the total number of Leopard 2A4 tanks handed over by Spain to Ukraine reached 20.
The next batch is scheduled to be delivered in the second half of 2024.
