The deliveries are planned to be made in stages, with about 25 Leopard 1 tanks to arrive in Ukraine by summer and more than 100 tanks to be delivered by early next year, according to Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.
The Leopard 1 A5 battle tank is no longer in production. It used to be the main battle tank used by the armed forces of West Germany back in the 1970s. Leopard 1 was succeeded by the Leopard 2, the third generation of the German main battle tank that entered service in 1979. Leopard 2 is significantly faster and better armored, with a more powerful gun and an improved targeting system.
