Leopard tanks arriving in Ukraine use different shells and it will be difficult for Kiev to buy them in bulk. It has been reported foreign policy.
The article says that in Ukraine, Leopard tanks from eight different countries fire different shells.
“This means that Ukrainians cannot buy ammunition in bulk,” the article says.

But even if they can be transported earlier, the equipment will not have time to reach the battlefield with the onset of the counterattack of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
