According to an update to Germany's list of military aid to Ukraine, 10 Leopard 1A5 main battle tanks were delivered last week, in addition to the 10 previously delivered and another TRML-4D air surveillance radar to complement the two already available.
Background: The first air surveillance radar, TRML-4D, Ukraine received from Germany in May, and the second in June.
TRML-4D uses the latest AESA radar technology capable of detecting, tracking and classifying various types of aerial targets, focusing on small, fast and low-flying and/or manoeuvring cruise missiles and aircraft and helicopters hovering in the air.
Germany also provided Ukraine with 16 vector reconnaissance drones; now their number is 104, four 8x8 hx81 truck tractors and four semi-trailers, more than 13 million rounds of ammunition for firearms and a field hospital.
In early August, it became known that Germany would transfer about 30 additional Leopard 1 tanks to Ukraine after the arms concern Rheinmetall bought them from Belgium.
In addition, media reports indicate that Germany turned to Greece with a proposal to transfer to Ukraine 100 Greek Leopard 1A5 currently in operation and, in return, get upgraded armoured vehicles.
