Nice. If the Germans go east or the Russians go west again, I don’t think they’ll like the reception much.

some of those tanks have the red barrel, some don’t. Are we to assume that this is in error ?

I think not !

Great pics. If America had a parade like that, the liberals would go into convulsions.

Very interesting mix of east and west hardware! I recognized the T72’s but were those Leopard A1’s in the mix I heard that Poland was thinking about getting M1A1’s from the US.
F-16’s and Mig 29’ flying together in Poland’s Air force, No one and I mean no one would have thought it possible just 20 years ago, they would have called you insane to think it.

God bless Poland

The former NCOIC of my former AF reserve intelligence detachment was a Polish linguist, and was a -ski of Polish ancestor. One of his last annual tours before he retired was an exchange tour with the Polish Air Force.

He said much the same, he expected to be snooping on their radio traffic, or interrogating Polish POWs, not working on their airfield with them.

He also said they treated him like the Prodigal Son, returned to the Motherland.

Actually those tanks are not T 72, but a Polish upgrade called PT 91 Twardy ("Hard" in English)
