MUNSTER, Germany: A Ukrainian soldier compared Germany's Leopard 2 tanks to a Mercedes as he underwent training with them ahead of their arrival on the battlefield, saying he hoped they would bring a breakthrough in the war.
"It is crucial that we use this modern weapon wisely, it will bring the breakthrough and we will win in the end," said the 57-year-old soldier. Ukraine's foreign minister said last month he expected to receive 120 to 140 Western tanks in a"first wave" of deliveries from a coalition of 12 countries, including the German Leopard 2, with time needed for training.
