 Spain to send first six Leopard tanks to Ukraine after Easter. Spain will send the first six Leopard 2A4 battle tanks promised to Ukraine to counter the Russian invasion right after Easter. El País news outlet announced it, citing its sources in the government. The exact date when Spain will send the tanks to Ukraine has not been announced. Catholic Easter will be celebrated on the 9th of April this year. Six tanks have already been repaired at the Seville plant and are conducting firing exercises at the Cerro Muriano training ground in Cordoba this week. After receiving combat certification they will be transported by sea to Poland and handed over to the Ukrainian military. According to the news outlet, four more Leopard 2A4 tanks are to be delivered to the Seville plant but it is noted that the condition of these batch of combat vehicles is worse than the first so it will take longer to repair them. It was reported that the Leopard 2 tanks promised by Portugal had arrived in Ukraine.
