Ukraine seems to have already received German Leopard 1 tanks.

Here's What We Know

Military analyst @Osinttechnical published a video in social networks with German tanks in the hands of the AFU. We are talking about Leopard 1 in modification A5DK.

Flashback

The Leopard 1 is Germany's main battle tank. It was started to be developed after the Second World War together with France, but then the co-operation was stopped. The Leopard 1 is in service with 12 countries. Thanks to the modernisation programme, it is still in use. By the way, by 1984, about 4,744 units of Leopard 1 were produced. The tank participated in the Bosnian War, as well as in the War in Afghanistan.
