File photo dated February 2, 2023 shows Freddy Versluys, CEO of OIP, owner of around fifty Leopard 1 tanks decommissioned and bought from the Belgian army in Tournai, Belgium. Dozens of second-hand Leopard 1 tanks that once belonged to Belgium have been bought by another European country for Ukrainian forces fighting Russia's invasion, the arms trader who did the deal said Tuesday. Germany's Handelsblatt newspaper reported on Tuesday evening that arms maker Rheinmetall (RHMG.DE) had acquired the tanks and would prepare most of them for export to Ukraine.
