According to the German Ministry of Defence, nearly half of the Leopard 2 tanks supplied to Ukraine are no longer fit for combat. 'Only a small number' of the Leopard 2A6 tanks, the modern variant, are operational as repairs are delayed due to a lack of spare parts, as stated by German deputy and Green Party member Sebastian Schäfer. Schäfer, quoted by Die Presse and Kurier, also mentioned that Ukrainian military personnel's independent repair attempts often lead to further damage. The situation has undermined initial expectations that the Leopard tanks could change the course of the conflict. German government spokesman Steffen Hebestreit has confirmed that Germany is not yet ready to supply Taurus long-range missiles to Ukraine, despite calling recent missile strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces 'war crimes'. Amid these challenges, Germany has updated its aid list to Ukraine, including ammunition for Leopard 2A6 tanks, 10 Marder 1A3 IFVs, IRIS-T missiles, 1 SKYNEX air defense system with ammunition, 2 TRML-4D radars, 9080 155mm shells, 2 WISENT 1 tanks, and 1 BIBER bridge-laying tank with spare parts. Letters from Schäfer to defense companies Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann highlight the ongoing support.
