The Minister of Defense of Slovakia said that the country transferred BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
Here's What We Know
It is about 30 BMPs. It was possible to transfer the equipment due to the agreement between Slovakia and Germany. Most likely, to replace BMP-1s Slovakia will receive German Marder fighting vehicles. By the way, Greece begins sending BMP-1A1 Ost infantry fighting vehicles to Ukraine.
Glad to confirm that 30 #Slovak #BMP1 infantry fighting vehicles were donated to #Ukraine based on #ringtausch agreement with #Germany. Thanks Christine #Lambrecht for excellent coop.???????????????????? #SlavaUkraini @UKRinSR @SlovakiaMFA @oleksiireznikov @DefenceU @Slovakia_NATO???????????????? pic.twitter.com/s0PCwvtUmJ
