The defence industry company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) is now arranging for weapons that are worn out or have been damaged in combat to be repaired in the region.

So far, Germany has provided Ukraine with 14 type PzH2000 self-propelled howitzers, 5 MARS II multiple rocket launchers and 30 Gepard self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, as well as 50 Dingo armoured personnel carriers. Another 7 Gepard SPAAG are to follow.
