German and Ukrainian companies have created a joint enterprise for the repair of Leopard tanks – Smetanin

The minister emphasized that “now the equipment will be repaired faster, which means that it will be returned to the front to perform combat tasks sooner””, — write: www.radiosvoboda.org

The German company KMW (KNDS Deutschland), which is a manufacturer of Leopard 2 tanks, concluded an agreement on the creation of a joint venture with one of the Ukrainian defense companies, the Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine Herman Smetanin announced on January 21.

“The newly created company will specialize in the maintenance and repair of military equipment supplied by a German company to the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The first samples of this technology appeared in Ukraine as early as 2022. Ukrainian specialists have already been trained in Germany, the first systems have already been installed at the facilities,” Smetanin wrote in a telegram, thanking partners “for their willingness to cooperate with the Ukrainian defense industry.”

The minister emphasized that “now the equipment will be repaired faster, which means that it will be returned to the front to perform combat missions sooner.”

After the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Germany provided a significant amount of equipment, including air defense systems, Leopard tanks, howitzers, ammunition and mine clearance equipment.
