Military repair in the Fields: Poland and Germany did not agree in the price of "leopards" repair

The sources of the Handelsblatt newspaper have found out that it was a great exaggerated price expectations of the Poles. The Ukrainian army is very much in need of the return of damaged combat tanks, as there are losses in the continued counter -offensive, the sources said. "In March, after long fluctuations, Germany has transferred 18 LOOPARD 2 tanks to Ukraine. Promised supplies and other European countries.

There is a problem about Leopard A4 tanks delivered by Poland: eight of 14 cars delivered," - said the interlocutors. Leopard 2A5 and Leopard 2A6 tanks should be repaired in Germany and perhaps in Lithuania, Germany's representative of NTV German channel reporters in NATO Summit in Vilnius told Germany. "Discussions are ongoing how to repair the basic LEOPARD 2A4 combat tanks. Poland and Germany want to reconcile all ideas together," said Berlin.

If Germany leaves the agreement, at least the power for the repair of "leopards" should remain in Poland, says Focus Major of the Armed Forces, military expert Alexei Hetman. "Otherwise, tanks for repair to Germany. This is not an attempt to interfere with the Ukrainian Army's actions at the front. Only yesterday [11 July] German Defense Ministry announced the delivery of 25 Leopard tanks (it is a new package Leopards models 1 A5, two Patriot air defense settings, 40 MARDER BMP, ed.

), "The expert said. The essence of the question can be reduced to technical nuances. Germany's decision to increase the supply of Leopard tanks and at the same time cut the places of their repair, looks illogical, Hetman said. "In addition to the Poles' price expectations, it is necessary to agree on techniques. Germany understands that he sends tanks to the war, not to the parade. Naturally, they will break, they need to be repaired," he explains. Leopard tanks can also appear elsewhere.

The best alternative options are Romania or Baltic countries, according to the Director of the Defense Express information and consulting company Sergey Zgurets. "Perhaps during the vacuum there will be away brigades to repair the equipment in Ukraine. Germany is not interested in this. CEO of Concern Armin Papperger said it on July 10 this year, - ed. ), "He comments on Focus.

According to the expert, there are three categories of complexity in the repair of military equipment: Poland can assist Ukraine using its specialists. It is not necessary to do this through a hub, because the Polish military was exploited by Leopard tanks, Zgurets summed up. Leopard tanks were initially planned to be opened in Poland. Western partners announced the arrangement on March 21 at Ramstein Air Base.
