Germany needs more Leopard tanks urgently, not care where the money came from
Germany needs to order new Leopard tanks quickly to replace those going to Ukraine, Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said on Wednesday, adding he did not care where the money came from.
“For me, the crucial fact is that we have to order new tanks, not in a year, but swiftly, so that production can begin,” he told reporters on a visit to a tank battalion in the western town of Augustdorf, which has been chosen to supply 14 of its Leopard 2 tanks to Kyiv.
“Where will the money come from? Let me casually put it like this: Frankly, I don't care. It is essential that we can provide them (the tanks) quickly,” Pistorius said.

El ministro alemán de Defensa, Boris Pistorius, afirma que el país necesita rápidamente hacer pedidos de nuevos tanques de combate Leopard, para sustituir los que se destinarán a Ucrania.
El recién nombrado ministro de Defensa ha calificado de esencial la financiación urgente, y ha dicho que no le importa de dónde proceda el dinero.
Hizo estas declaraciones durante una visita al batallón de tanques, que tiene programado enviar 14 tanques Leopard-2 a Ucrania.
El ministro respondió así a la pregunta de si estaba impulsando un aumento del fondo especial de 100.000 millones de euros, creado para la modernización del ejército, tras el conflicto entre Rusia y Ucrania.
Pistorius pretende acelerar la adquisición de armas y aumentar los suministros de munición, después de que casi un año de donaciones de armas a Ucrania haya agotado las reservas militares alemanas. [@CGTNenEspanol]
