The German Ministry of Defense, in a significant reversal, announced Tuesday that it would send Gepard anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine, after Chancellor Olaf Scholz voiced strong opposition to the move.

The decision to send the anti-aircraft systems to Ukraine, which has been fighting a war against Russia for the past two months, was announced by Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht during a meeting at the Ramstein U.S. Air Force Base in Germany.
