Germany and the Czech Republic have sent a request to Switzerland at intervals of a few days for the purchase of Leopard 2 tanks. So far no reply has been received.

Here's What We Know

Last week Germany expressed a desire to purchase all 96 Swiss Leopard 2 tanks. They will not be transferred to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but will strengthen Germany's own defence.

The day before, the Czech Republic had also sent a request to buy the tanks. Swiss Vice-President Viola Amherd confirmed this. So far Switzerland has not given an answer to any of the countries.

The Swiss Army has 96 Leopard 2 tanks in service. The country's government is willing to sell some of the combat vehicles. The Ministry of Defence states that it needs 34 tanks for its own needs.
