/tass/. French Armed Forces Minister Sebastien Lecorny hopes that the first AMX-10 RC wheeled tanks will arrive in Ukraine in February. He announced this on Wednesday on the air of the France-5 TV channel.

"I would like the first deliveries to take place in February," the head of the department noted.

He also added that Paris does not disclose the exact number of armored vehicles supplied to Kiev for security reasons.

He added that Paris does not disclose the exact number of armored vehicles sent to Kiev for security reasons. "We are more restrained about the quantity and timing of deliveries," the minister explained.

Lekornyu also commented on the decision of the United States and Germany to supply heavy tanks to Ukraine. In his opinion, such weapons will not have a greater impact on the course of the conflict than other types of weapons that are already being sent to Ukraine. "Yes, but [it will change the situation] no more than artillery pieces," the minister said in response to a corresponding question.

On January 4, French President Emmanuel Macron held a telephone conversation with Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky, following which the Elysee Palace announced France's intention to supply French light tanks to Kiev. As Agence France-Presse later reported, it was about AMX-10 RC wheeled tanks. According to the Ministry of the Armed Forces of the Republic, in 2020, 248 such armored vehicles in service with France are gradually being replaced with new Jaguar combat reconnaissance vehicles.
