The tanks must undergo a long process of de-preservation and repair, since they have long been preserved without maintenance. This was stated by Spanish Defense Minister Margarita Robles in a comment to reporters. "In Zaragoza, there are Leopard 2A4 storage tanks that haven't been used for a long time, and we are going to check which ones can be put into operation for transfer to Ukraine," she said.
According to Robles, the exact number of tanks to go to Ukraine will be determined by following consultations with partner countries. In Zaragoza, the Spanish army stores 53 of the existing 108 Leopard 2A4 tanks, which were leased from Germany in 1998 and acquired for 17 million euros later in 2006. The fifty stored machines are in different storage conditions.
