Denmark, the Netherlands, and Germany announced in February 2023 that they would provide 100 Leopard 1 tanks in the "coming months."
"The first ten tanks have been sent to Ukraine. And more are on the way," the Danish armed forces said in a statement cited by the AFP.
They added that Danish troops in Germany are currently training Ukrainian forces to use the tanks.
Denmark's Leopard 1 A5 tanks were in service until 2005. The country purchased 51 modern Leopard 2A4 tanks in 1997 and subsequently substituted the older Leopard 1 tanks.
The Leopard 1 tanks entered service for the first time in 1965 and were modified several times.
As was reported earlier, Ukraine received 71 modern Leopard 2 tanks in 2023 from EU countries, while 14 more were pledged and are expected to be delivered soon.
