The Swedish government has decided to join the tank coalition and plans to transfer 10 modernized Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine to fight the Russian aggression.

According to the publication, the government in Stockholm wants to provide Ukraine with a total of 10 Leopard tanks of type 2A6 and 2A5 for the planned equipment of two Ukrainian tank battalions.

It is noted that the tanks can be used primarily as an addition to the set of tanks that Germany is currently assembling for Ukraine.

Berlin promised to supply 14 2A6 models from the Bundeswehr for the battalion, which should be equipped with 31 Leopard 2 tanks.

It should be noted that Sweden provided several packages of military and civilian aid to Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion a year ago. The last part of the aid includes armored infantry fighting vehicles and advanced artillery system Archer.
