The Polish and German governments have so far failed to agree on opening a maintenance center in Poland to repair Leopard tanks supplied to Ukraine.

#Poland and #Germany cannot agree on several key issues of the repair facility, the cost of which could reach 150 million euros, according to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius.

One of the controversial issues is the cost of the initial diagnostics of tanks.

Polish defense company #PGZ intended to charge 100,000 euros for such diagnostics but in Germany the price is almost ten times lower.

However, according to #Der lSpiegel, German tank manufacturers consider the controversy surrounding the project to be politically motivated, as Poland's ruling Law and Justice party regularly makes statements against the German government.
