Swiss Leopard tanks could replenish tank stocks in European countries

Decommissioned Leopard 2 tanks from Switzerland could be sold to European countries after being withdrawn from the Swiss army.

Switzerland has large stocks of Leopard tanks that the army no longer needs. Now voices to sell the tanks abroad are getting louder, public broadcaster SRF reported Monday.

The Leopard tanks from Switzerland could replace those delivered to Ukraine in recipient countries, according to the report.

The number of tanks in question is said to be 96, which are located in hangars in eastern Switzerland, said SRF.
