The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, Oleksiy Reznikov, showed the German Marder MBP, which Ukraine recently received.

He even tested one of them.

Reznikov published the corresponding video on his Twitter.

"Marder is a great example of German quality. I have tried them myself. I look forward to the fact that soon we will be able to tame leopards as well. I like how they growl! I would be glad if Anka Feldhusen (Ms. Ambassador of Germany to Ukraine - ed.) joined me. Let's do it together! Thank you for your support to Chancellor Olaf Scholz, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius and the people of Germany," the minister wrote.

We will remind you that the first Challenger 2 tanks also arrived in Ukraine from Britain. Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov took a ride on the first such tank and said that soon "these fantastic machines will begin to perform combat missions."

In turn, analysts have determined how many and exactly which tanks the Ukrainian military will receive from the Western allies.

In total, Ukraine's allies promised to hand over hundreds of tanks to the Armed Forces, including modern Western vehicles and modernized Soviet ones.
