 Germany and Denmark to transfer dozens of Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine in coming weeks. Ukraine will receive Leopard 1A5 tanks from Germany and Denmark as part of military aid in the coming weeks, according to German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius. Germany is currently providing the second largest military assistance to Ukraine in terms of equipment, direct financial assistance, or assistance within the EU, he said. German instructors also continue to help train the Ukrainian military, Pistorius added, according to Resetpospolita Media Outlet. Dozens of Leopard 1A5 battle tanks provided by Germany and Denmark will arrive in Ukraine in the coming weeks. In May, we have just prepared a new aid package worth 2.7 billion euros, which includes additional urgently needed weapons such as Iris T SLM Air Defence Systems, the Defence Minister said. Back in May, Danish Defence Minister Charles Lund Poulsen announced a joint transfer of 80 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine with Germany. These tanks have a 105mm gun and a twin MG3 7.62mm machine gun. Until the 1980s, the vehicle was considered Germany's main battle tank. The Leopard 1A5 is the latest production model. It is equipped with a Krupp Atlas electronic EMES 18 computerized fire control system with a Karl Zeiss thermal imager, which is based on the system of the modern Leopard 2.
