Before its handover, this tank, like all others that have been or will be delivered to Slovakia, underwent comprehensive repairs at Rheinmetall Landsysteme GmbH.
As part of the delivery process and the gradual introduction of Leopard tanks into the Slovak Armed Forces, ongoing tests of training ammunition for this type of equipment are being conducted at the Záhorie Military Technical and Testing Institute. Following this, the crews will undergo training provided by Bundeswehr personnel at the Lešť Training Center later this summer.
The remaining 12 tanks will be delivered to the Slovak Armed Forces periodically by the end of the year.
