The German Parliament's Defense Committee does not mind to pass the Leopard tanks and the Marder fighting vehicles, but the Olaf Scholz government is blocking the initiative. It is only necessary to count on 7 anti -aircraft self -propelled installations. Germany will send the Armed Forces of Ukraine (Armed Forces) self -propelled howitzers and the Gepard anti -aircraft installations. The head of the Defense Committee of the Bundestag Marie-Agness Strak-Zimmerman said this, writes Die Zeit.

"More self -propelled howitzers will be delivered to Ukraine. There are now 24 units. In addition, Ukraine will be provided from 6 to 7 Gepard installations," she said. The Strak-Zimmerman asked why Germany does not send modern tanks to Ukraine. The Bundestag representative replied that she personally supports the idea of ​​transferring the Armed Forces of LEOPARD and Marder fighting machines. "This is already an urgent need. There is no reason to do it anymore," the military said.

The federal government, she said, does not go this initiative. Ukraine has repeatedly asked the supply of Marder and Leopard tanks. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz excludes this, justifying that other NATO countries do not have such tanks, says Handelsblatt German edition. Germany, according to the newspaper, has transferred to Ukraine 14 Panzerhaubitze 2000, 5 Mars and 30 Gepard Anti -aircraft Systems. "There are 7 more GEPARD installations left.

In addition, 50 Dingo armored personnel carriers were provided," the journalists calculated. The German equipment damaged in Slovakia will be repaired in battles, the chief of the Special Staff on Ukraine in the Federal Ministry of Defense, General Christian Freuding, said. "The Krauss-Maffei Wegmann tanks are organized in the region repair of large weapons, worn or damaged in battles in Ukraine, such as Panzerhaubitze 2000," he explained.

We will remind that the Ambassador of Ukraine to Germany Alexei Makeev recently spoke about negotiations with the German side to increase the supply of Armed Forces of the Armed Forces and ammunition. According to him, a successful example of military cooperation with Berlin was the supply of IRIS-TI. Focus also wrote that in the United States, at least twice tried to influence Scholz on the issue of leopard tanks 2.
