The previous two Wisent 1 tanks arrived in Ukraine in March.

This equipment is a modification of the Leopard tank and is designed for mine clearance, which is especially important in the context of a counterattack on mined territory.

Last week, it was reported that Germany provided Ukraine with eight highly mobile Bandvagn 206 tracked vehicles, 2,000 rounds of ammunition for Gepard anti-aircraft systems, 14 Vector reconnaissance drones, 14 border protection vehicles, and three drone detection systems.
