“Poland’s first post-Soviet tank was the PT-91 Twardy. A faster, better-protected version of the Russian T-72M1 that, most critically, also boasts a new fire-control system with high-end optics.
Twenty-seven years after the PT-91 entered service with the Polish army, the tank went to war for the first time ... against the Russians. In the summer of 2022, just a few months after Russia widened its war on Ukraine, Warsaw began transferring to Kyiv many of the roughly 230 Twardys in the Polish arsenal.
The PT-91s Poland has been donating to Ukraine represent just a small part of Warsaw’s wide-ranging military support for Kyiv. Poland has gifted to Ukraine, or pledged to gift, no fewer than 330 tanks. Old T-72M1s. PT-91s. Even a small number of German-designed Leopard 2s.”
