The package includes 30 Leopard 1 tanks, 15 Gepard anti-aircraft tanks, over 200 reconnaissance drones, and four IRIS-T air defence systems, along with 18 howitzers.
The move follows Ukraine’s pressing of allies for long-range weapons, jets, and ammunition before an expected counteroffensive.
“We all wish for a speedy end to this terrible and illegal war…. Unfortunately, this is not yet foreseeable. Therefore, Germany will provide any help it can – as long as it takes,” said German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.
