Defense Secretary Margarita Robles made the announcement on Wednesday Spain we send after Easter six Leopard main battle tanks to Ukraine when they are repaired for use in Alcalá de Guadaíra (Seville) and tested in Córdoba.
Robles appeared in a plenary session of Congress to answer for these shipments, a decision the government made without prior discussion in the Chamber, which was condemned by two groups that demanded the minister’s explanations.
These six forms of leopard part of the ten tanks that Spain announced in February to donate to Ukraine. They are of the 2A4 model and were included among more than fifty that were unusable for a decade and stored in some army facilities in Casetas (Zaragoza). “No matter how much some insist on spreading a certain message, with this shipment we are not only creating an escalation of the conflict, but we give the Ukrainian people the tools to defend themselves“, Robles is clear.
