What is the News?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Germany has not yet decided whether to allow its Leopard 2 tanks to be sent to Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is Leopard 2?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Leopard 2 is a German-manufactured main battle tank with a range of about 500 km.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is one of the world\u2019s leading battle tanks used by the German Army for decades and by the militaries of more than a dozen other European nations. It has seen service in conflicts in Afghanistan, Kosovo and Syria.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Features:<\/b> The tank <\/span>is powered by a diesel engine. It features night-vision equipment and a laser range finder that can measure the distance to an object, enabling it to better aim at a moving target while travelling over rough terrain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the advantages of Leopard 2 over other tanks?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Leopards are in Europe, they are easy to get to Ukraine, and several European countries use them, so they are readily available.<\/span><\/p>\n

Logistics and maintenance would be easier. Spare parts and know-how are here in Europe, so the training of Ukrainians would be easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is the argument against supplying Leopard 2?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Opponents believe that the supply of tanks would be an escalation of the involvement of NATO countries in the war, heightening the risk of the war spreading.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
