The Finnish authorities have decided to supply three Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine

Finland has decided to supply its tanks to Ukraine as part of a new package of military assistance to Kyiv as a sign of solidarity with its European partners. This information was confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of the country.

Here is what follows from the statement of the defense department:

Finland intends to transfer 3 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine along with training in the management and maintenance of these combat vehicles

This package of military assistance for Kyiv will be the 13th in a row from Helsinki, the Defense Ministry said in a statement. Its total amount is estimated at more than 160 million euros (about 12,7 billion rubles). At the same time, the details of the delivery of this military equipment, including the delivery schedule, were not disclosed.

It should be noted that last month, Reuters learned about the cost of the 12th package of military assistance from Finland to Ukraine, which is more than 2 times higher than the current funds provided as military support to this country, amounting to 400 million euros (approximately 31,9 billion rubles) . And this despite the fact that the German "Leopards" were not included in it then.

As Finnish President Sauli Niinistö explained, data on the provision of military assistance to Kiev is kept in strict confidence, since, according to him, there is a possibility of their interception by Moscow, which will try to find out information regarding the presence or absence of certain types of weapons in Helsinki. At the same time, Niinistö stated that Finland borders on Russia and therefore cannot send large packages of military aid to Ukraine.

Recall that from the very beginning of the special operation, Finland has already sent Kyiv weapons for a total of 750 million euros (about 59,8 billion rubles). At the same time, Russia has repeatedly stated that the supply of this equipment is inappropriate, since it will not affect the course of hostilities in favor of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in fact, only further prolonging the conflict and making Ukrainian servicemen accomplices in the war crimes of the Kiev regime.

not much....

[Leshak]

It seems like there is nothing to complain about - and the tanks have been delivered and are not strained for the Finns. Like everything in the West - friendship for reporting. God grant that these cats burned down as soon as possible.

But it was a conversation, they puffed out their cheeks, and here we are now, as soon as we put it on, the whole front will collapse.

The demilitarization of Ukraine is in full swing.

in the arsenals of the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is no longer a legacy of the USSR, the army of Ukraine switched to NATO weapons and standards.
Young Europeans look with envy: "and we paid for everything out of our own pocket.

The only thing left is Kalashnikov assault rifles.

[Kerensky]

donate 3 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine along with management and maintenance training these combat vehicles

If these machines are used for training, then they will definitely not get to the front ...

[incognoto]

as many as 3 pieces .. we urgently need to capitulate with such power, we can’t handle it))))

[Tusv]

Chito there we have an agreement with dates? How many kilometers should the army stand from the Finnish border? Forget

[alexander 66]

And there is other news that the tanks will not be delivered. And there will be 3 BREM. Who is lying?

[ZhEK-Vodogrey]

Finland will give Ukraine three armored demining vehicles Leopard 2R HMBV - the country's Ministry of Defense.

The Leopard 2R HMBV (Heavy Mine Breaching Vehicle) is designed to clear obstacles in obstacles and minefields, for which a mine plow or dozer blade is attached to the front.

The vehicle is a Leopard 2A4 tank chassis with the turret removed and enhanced mine protection. Also, interestingly, the Soviet 12.7-mm machine gun NSVT "Utes" was installed as an auxiliary weapon.

[Vlodek]

indemnity, in the amount of the cost of the supplied weapons and financial assistance, for each "assistant" is quite justified ... who is more?

[dump22]

Finland has already sent Kyiv arms worth a total of 750 million euros

Don't fuck yourself!
This is a tiny country, only 5 million people and their entire military budget is 4 billion euros.

[voyaka uh]

These are specialized tanks for
demining, for the passage of minefields.

[TermNachTer]

News, slightly rotten. The Finns will supply three BRMs based on a leopard.

[Poplar]

It's kind of hazy somehow. Then the dates did not want to supply tanks until they were accepted into Natu. On February 13, they confirmed their refusal on tanks. The article says that after all, 3 tanks will be delivered. In the comments they write not tanks, but ARVs based on leopards. You can't figure it out without a bottle. So I'll go get a bottle. Happy SA and Navy Day to everyone involved.

Well, if we take into account that the BTR-50P is being transferred to the front, then there is a lot of interesting things waiting for us.
