The first 10 Leopard 1A5 tanks sent from Denmark have arrived in Ukraine, the Danish Army said on Friday. Further tanks will be delivered as they are refurbished, the Army said. At least 100 tanks are expected to be donated as part of Denmark's collaboration with Germany and the Netherlands.
Denmark is also sending instructors from the Armed Forces to train Ukrainian soldiers on the tanks. "Denmark has sent some of our best tank instructors to Germany to train the Ukrainians in getting the most out of this weapon system. And I have no doubt that it will help them win the defense battle they are fighting right now," Chief of the Army Command Gunner Arpe Nielsen said.
