The Leo 2 is more or less European build except for eg the Trophy system which is of Israeli origin. But that wouldn't concern the US.
I believe our friends across the pond are saying it's quite ok to deliver the Leo 1's to Ukraine on their behalf.
My memory is that Spain offered all their Leopard 1 to Ukraine, but that Germany vetoed this. Do you have any insight on that ?
