Germany may transfer Fuchs armored transport vehicles and Leopard-2 tanks to Ukraine, notes Head of the German Bundestag Defense Committee Marcus Faber.

"At the moment, we have given away 5% of our Leopard-2s and 0% of our Fuchs. We can do more – especially since we have ordered 123 Leopard-2s and are facing a decision on the Fuchs. Our assistance is crucial in the fight against Putin's aggressive war," Faber wrote on the X social network on Friday evening.

As reported, Ukraine has begun joint production of the Fuchs APC with the German concern Rheinmetall.

The Netherlands, together with Denmark, also purchased 14 used Leopard 2A4 tanks, which were repaired by the German company Rheinmetall. They will be delivered by the end of the summer.
