US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin will convene a meeting of around 50 countries on January 20, 2023 at the US-run Ramstein military base in Germany, including all 30 members of the NATO alliance. The German-made Leopard 2 is seen as one of the best-performing models worldwide and is widely used across Europe, meaning spare parts and ammunition could be easily sourced.

El Leopard 2 es un tanque pesado que Ucrania reclama desde hace meses a Alemania y las potencias occidentales, y un activo de renombre mundial susceptible de tener un impacto “significativo” en el campo de batalla.

Desde hace semanas existe una fuerte presión sobre Alemania para que permita la entrega de estos tanques a Ucrania, y ayudarla así a hacer frente de manera más sólida a la invasión rusa.
