Ukraine has already received 32 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns from Germany.
The list of the assistance transferred to Ukraine on the German government’s website has been updated.
This time, two more Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns and 6.000 rounds of ammunition were shipped to the frontline.
Another five Gepard anti-aircraft guns are also listed in the list of aid being prepared for dispatch.
The German Handelsblatt reported previously that Germany is preparing to hand over these anti-aircraft guns by the end of the month.
Besides, five Dachs armored engineer vehicles should arrive in Ukraine by the end of February, and five Biber bridge-layer tanks will be delivered in March.
The current transferred assistance package also includes:
As previously reported, Germany, along with the Netherlands and Denmark, are ready to supply 100 Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine. The first 25 units of the equipment should arrive in Ukraine by the summer of 2023, and the delivery of Leopard 2A6 tanks is expected at the end of March.
Gepard SPAAG is based on the chassis of the Leopard 1 tank. Two 35mm Oerlikon KDA guns and two radars installed on the tower determine the target at a distance of up to 15 km.
The system can hit targets at a distance between 100 meters and 4 km. Its crew consists of only three people: the driver, the commander, and the gunner.
In January, Armin Papperger, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rheinmetall, announced that by the middle of next year, Germany will transfer 300 thousand rounds of ammunition for the Gepard SPAAG to Ukraine.
