The Leopard-2 tanks used by Ukraine are experiencing issues with spare parts.



A similar problem has significantly reduced the capability of the Ukrainian PZH-200. In this instance, the lack of spare parts has seemingly turned sending the tanks to Lithuania into a major issue due to the distances and the time it takes for them to be sent and returned to service.
These tanks, originally sent by Germany to reinforce Ukraine's defense against Russian aggression, have encountered damage and wear from active service. Concerns arise over prolonged repair periods and logistics challenges involved in transporting the tanks to Lithuania for maintenance. Defense Minister Boris Pistorius visited Lithuania to assess the repair situation and addressed concerns to the involved defense companies, emphasizing the need to improve spare parts supply and establish repair capabilities within Ukraine.

The article underscores the urgency of expanding assistance to Ukraine in line with Germany's economic strength.
