Details: The Spanish military aid package includes ten Leopard 2A4 tanks, many excavators, and anti-tank missiles.

The tanks that will be sent to Ukraine's Armed Forces have already undergone extensive repair and maintenance at the Santa Bárbara Sistemas plant in Seville, as well as testing to ensure their technical serviceability.

Assistance has been on the way since the end of last week; on Saturday, the ship departed from Spain and should reach Poland by the next weekend, where they will arrange for additional passage to Ukraine.

"At all stages of this crucial transportation, appropriate security measures are being taken," the Spanish Ministry of Defence added.

Taking this batch into account, Spain sent a total of 20 tanks to Ukraine. The following batch is anticipated to be shipped in the second half of 2024.

In June, it was unofficially claimed that Spain delivered a second batch of anti-aircraft missiles for Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine.

Last week, Germany announced that it would provide Ukraine with ammunition for the Patriot systems and Leopard 1 tanks.
