My friends and colleagues from the Bundestag have just confirmed that
Scholz has agreed to the supply of #Leopard2 tanks from Germany to
#Ukraine. Great news! Thanks!

Rheinmetall could deliver 139 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine - RND
FRANKFURT, Jan 24 (Reuters) - German defence group Rheinmetall
(RHMG.DE) could deliver 139 Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine if
required, a spokesperson for the company told media group RND.

It could also supply 88 older Leopard 1 tanks, the person said,
without giving a timeframe for their potential delivery.

Russia does NOT want to fuck with NATO.

Confirmed:

"Germany, US agree to send battle tanks to Ukraine: Media reports

"Berlin will send Leopard battle tanks to Ukraine and Washington will
provide Abrams tanks, German and US media reported."
<https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/1/24/germany-clears-the-way-for-leopard-2-tank-deliveries-to-ukraine>

"Germany set to send Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, Der Spiegel reports"
"The report comes shortly after United States officials revealed on
Tuesday that the Biden administration is finalizing plans to send
US-made tanks to Ukraine. Germany had indicated to the US last week
that it would not send its Leopard tanks unless the US also agreed to
send its own M1 Abrams tanks. "

"Leopard 2 Tanks From All Over Europe Are Heading To Ukraine As German
Resistance Collapses"
<https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/01/24/leopard-2-tanks-from-all-over-europe-are-heading-to-ukraine-as-german-resistance-collapses/?sh=c1e4cd3668ed>
"Germany on Tuesday not only signed off on Poland’s request to export
to Ukraine German-made Leopard 2 tanks—Berlin also will donate its own
small batch of the world-class tanks."

"And now the Leopard 2s could pile up fast. Norway on Tuesday followed
Germany’s and Poland’s leads and pledged surplus Leopard 2s.

"The Tuesday decision by German chancellor Olaf Scholz, first reported
by Der Spiegel, was a reversal of a reversal of a reversal within the
chaotic German government.

"Berlin, which holds the export license for the Leopard 2, for 11
months resisted European efforts to rearm Ukraine with the 70-ton
tanks. Sending Leopard 2s to Ukraine would escalate Russia’s wider war
on the country, Scholz bizarrely claimed.

"As pressure mounted—from Poland, mostly—German foreign minister
Annalena Baerbock last weekend said Germany wouldn’t veto Poland’s
pledge of at least one company of 14 or so Leopard 2s. Scholz quickly
walked back Baerbock’s words, only to walk back the walk-back a few
days later—and then tack on an additional company of Leopard 2s from
German stocks.

"Scholz tends to spin bureaucratic waffling as consensus-building. “We
never go alone,” Scholz once told Bloomberg.

"It’s true—Germany won’t be alone in rearming Ukrainian tank
battalions. Fourteen tanks from Germany, 14 from Poland, eight from
Norway—these surely are just the start. Spain, The Netherlands,
Denmark and Finland also have signaled they could offer Leopard 2s.
There are hundreds of the German-made tanks in service across Europe,
and hundreds more in storage.

"Ukraine has requested a whole brigade with at least 100 Leopard 2
tanks. There now is no reason it won’t get the tanks and form the
brigade, perhaps in time for a widely-anticipated offensive this
spring or summer.

"There are lots of issues to work through. Ukraine’s Leopard 2s will
be a mix of different variants—ex-German Leopard 2A6s plus ex-Polish
and ex-Norwegian Leopard 2A4s. Each variant has unique logistical
requirements. All Leopard 2 models are heavy—70 tons or so—and that’s
a problem in rural Ukraine where roads and bridges might be too flimsy
for the hulking vehicles.

"But the advantages massively outweigh the disadvantages. The Leopard
2 is one of the best and most balanced tanks in the world, with a
near-perfect combination of firepower, mobility and protection. Even
an older Leopard 2 easily beats any of Ukraine’s or Russia’s current,
ex-Soviet tanks in a head-to-head fight."
