On Monday, July 29, Germany announced a new military aid package for the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

As part of this assistance, Germany, in coordination with Denmark, will transfer eight additional Leopard 1A5 tanks. This brings the total number of Leopard 1A5 tanks provided to Ukraine to 58, up from the previous count of 50.

In addition, the Ukrainian military has received a new shipment of 21,000 rounds of ammunition for Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns.

Among the armored vehicles, two additional Bergepanzer 2 armored repair and recovery vehicles with spare parts are being sent.

In addition, Germany has provided Ukraine with 10 surface drones, 10 ground surveillance radars, and nearly 25,000 helmets.

The aid includes one field hospital. Germany has previously provided a field hospital to the Ukrainian military.

Back in February, Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands announced that they would provide Ukraine with Leopard 1 tanks to help.

In total, the Ukrainian Defense Forces were to receive more than 100 refurbished Leopard 1 tanks in the A5 version.

Then, in September, Denmark decided to provide Ukraine with 45 more tanks as part of its defense assistance.

This number includes 30 Leopard 1 tanks and 15 modernized Soviet T-72 tanks.

Ukrainian crews are trained in Germany by Danish instructors in cooperation with German specialists. The training course is shortened compared to the standard one.
