 Germany sent six Gepards and thousands of munitions to Ukraine. Germany has announced a new shipment of military assistance to Ukraine, which includes self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, Gepard, and ammunition for them. According to the updated list of weapons transferred to Ukraine, published by the German government, six Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and over 15,000 munitions for them have been shipped. The new assistance package also includes over 2,600 rounds of 115mm smoke shells, 10 band van, 206 all-terrain vehicles, 20 RQ-35 hydrant reconnaissance UAVs, and 13 vector reconnaissance drones. Additionally, Germany is providing eight ambulances and eight dental sterilisers. Last week, for the first time, the assistance package from Germany included Leopard 1 A5 tanks. During the NATO summit in Vilnius, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed a new assistance package for Ukraine at roughly 600 million euros. The package includes two launchers for the Patriot Air Defence System, 40 Marder Infantry Fighting Vehicles, 25 Leopard 1 tanks, and one Lunar Unmanned Aerial Vehicle System. Since Russia invaded Ukraine in February last year, Germany has dropped a traditionally pacifist stance and sent a vast array of weaponry to Kiev from air defence to artillery systems. It is now Ukraine's second largest arms supplier after the United States.
