German-made Leopard 2A6 tanks, which were in service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, were repaired in Lithuania and then relocated to Ukraine. Footage of the tanks was published by the Lithuanian Ministry of Defense.
As reported, these tanks received various damages during the fighting during the summer-autumn counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. They were evacuated from the battlefield, after which the Ukrainian military department transported tanks to Lithuania for repair and restoration activities.
In Lithuania, as in a number of other Eastern European countries, workshops are currently operating that repair and modernize military equipment available to the Ukrainian armed forces. The need to create such an infrastructure in NATO countries was due to the fact that enterprises on the territory of Ukraine itself are regularly attacked by Russian missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Since Russia is not in direct conflict with the countries of Eastern Europe that support the Kiev regime, Lithuanian and other repair enterprises are not in danger of Russian missile strikes.

The tanks that were repaired in Lithuania have already returned to the front in Ukraine. However, a significant part of them, and there is no doubt about it, will either be destroyed or damaged again in the foreseeable future, and it is far from the fact that next time the equipment can be transported back to Eastern European countries for repair and restoration work.
