Description
Ukrainian soldiers in north eastern Ukraine using donated Leopard 1 A5 tanks in the Kharkiv region praise their firing distance and maintenance system. "We can, at a distance that does not allow us to be destroyed, fire at them, says one soldier, while another says: "All in all, a great tank."
Denmark delivered the first Leopard 1 A5 tanks in September 2023 and over the coming weeks, Ukraine will also receive 10 more Leopards and three additional Gepard anti-aircraft guns as well as extra ammunition and vehicles from Germany.
Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands announced in February that they would donate 100 of the German-made tanks. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
