Repair of Leopard 2 tanks for the Armed Forces: Berlin confirmed that an agreement was reached with Warsaw | UkrInform UA - July 23, 2023 |

Series production of the Leopard 2 MBT was jointly undertaken by Krauss-Maffei Wehrtechnik GmbH in Munich and the Krupp MaK Maschinenbau GmbH in Kiel - in total 2,125 Leopard 2 tanks were produced for the Bundeswehr up to 1992

Weeks earlier, Spiegel stated that Berlin and Warsaw failed to agree on opening a maintenance center in Poland to repair Leopard tanks supplied to Ukraine due to several reasons, while several tanks are already awaiting repairs.

German tank manufacturers consider the disputes surrounding the tank hub to be politically motivated.

...
The repair facility is expected to be created at factories in two Polish cities, Gliwice and Poznan, and the costs of repairs would be covered by the German government. The cost of the facility should reach 150 million euros ($166 million).
