Sweden to send 10 Leard tanks to Ukraine

That’s according to the Swedish government press service and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson.

“Sweden is joining the ‘Leard family’ in support of Ukraine, through Swedish Leard 2 tanks. Today's military package also includes further air defence components. We will continue to help Ukraine win the war,” Kristersson tweeted on Friday.

The Swedish government said the country is posed to deliver up to 10 Leard 2 tanks and HAWK anti-aircraft systems as part of an 11th defense support package, Reuters wrote.

"The Swedish tanks reinforce the Leard 2 contribution that other Eurean countries make. Coordination of support is ongoing with international partners donating Leard 2 or other tanks," the government said in a statement.
