Slovenia entered into an agreement with Germany in September 2022 to provide its 28 stored M-55S tanks to Ukraine in exchange for 40 Rheinmetal MAN HX 8x8 heavy off-road trucks (5 of which have a special body for water transport). The media captured the transport of the tanks by train to Ukraine in late October (e.g. photo from Ceyla station from 25-26 October 2022).


The trucks obtained in exchange for the tanks were received by the Slovenian Armed Forces in the first half of December 2022.


The M-55S tanks were not the first military aid directed from Slovenia to Ukraine - in June 2022, a delivery of 35 (some sources say 32) units of M-80A infantry fighting vehicles was made. This delivery was coordinated by the US, which gave Slovenia credit for US military equipment supplies in exchange.

Note: the two other photos of the M-55S are not related to the delivery of tanks to Ukraine, they are older photos from the presentation activities of the Slovenian Armed Forces, published in this form by e.g. sina.cn.com, slovenec.org, vpk.name and others.
