Ukraine to get 14 Leopard 2A4 Tanks
The Netherlands contracted with Rheinmetall to supply fourteen Leopard 2A4 MBTs, worth a figure in the lower three-digit million-euro range, to Ukraine.
The Dutch and Danish governments announced their intention to jointly acquire Leopard 2 A4s for donation to Kyiv in April 2023.
The first vehicle is scheduled for delivery in January 2024, with the last due to ship in the course of the year. The vehicles are upgraded Leopard 2A4 tanks acquired by Rheinmetall from the inventories of user nations.
In March 2023, for instance, Rheinmetall shipped 20 Marder infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine at the behest of the German government. A second lot of 20 of these vehicles is due to ship this summer.
By the end of 2023, Rheinmetall will also be supplying Ukraine with 26 brand-new military trucks and two state-of-the-art air defence systems. The support effort also encompasses SurveilSPIRE mobile reconnaissance systems with day- and night-capable cameras and autopiloted mini-drones.
