Kiev has been demanding the supply of Leopard 2 heavy battle tanks from Germany for months to defend against Putin’s invading forces – and now it is getting them.

The Leopard 2, manufactured by Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW), forms the backbone of armored forces in more than a dozen countries: Austria is one of the user countries, as well as Poland, Finland and Norway.
