After Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) agreed to deliver modern Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine last week, the Chancellor’s tank blockade is now finally being lifted. Germany now also allows the export of old Leopard 1 tanks, as the federal government announced on Friday. With this, Scholz approves the delivery of those battle tanks that have been waiting in industry parking lots since the beginning of the war.

The Leopards are in storage, but “quickly available” and can therefore be delivered to Kyiv in good time, the Rheinmetall armaments group said last spring. At the time, however, the chancellor was still generally opposed to the delivery of western tanks to Ukraine – until last week. As a result, Ukraine lost a lot of valuable time.
