FILE - Two Leopard 2 tanks are seen in action during a visit of German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius at the Bundeswehr tank battalion 203 at the Field Marshal Rommel Barracks in Augustdorf, Germany, Feb. 1, 2023. Russia claimed it had "annihilated" eight tanks that NATO countries provided to Ukraine.
