Poland delivers first Leopard tanks to Ukraine
DW ^ | 24 FEB 2023

Poland has confirmed delivering the first Leopard tanks to Ukraine on Friday as Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki visited Kyiv to mark the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

At a meeting of the National Security Council in Warsaw, President Andrzej Duda said: "The prime minister couldn't be here, he went to Kyiv to bring Leopard tanks which are the first batch delivered to Ukraine."

Shortly after Berlin approved the export of the German-made battle tanks, Ukrainian crews started training on the Leopard 2 tanks in Poland.

So they’re giving away tanks and asking the USA for more troops.

More like buying new tanks.

“Poland signs deal to buy 2nd batch of Abrams tanks. The deal follows last year's agreement for the acquisition of 250 upgraded M1A2 Abrams tanks that will be delivered in the 2025-2026 time frame. Poland is also awaiting delivery of American High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and has already received Patriot missile batteries.”

Meanwhile the old ones can kill some rus nazi pigs.

I think the next escalation is quiet infiltration of Polish troops, which is already occurring, followed by large numbers of Eastern European troops and US/UK units in direct combat roles.

The deep-state pattern has been steady escalation, such that no one is “surprised” when it is revealed.

Big whoop.

Duda had said in January that Poland would give 14 Leopards to its neighbor.

Russia sent tanks into Ukraine. Why shouldn’t Poland (although for a different reason, obviously).

Where I have a problem is when the U.S. gets involved. This whole mess is Europe’s problem. Let Europe solve it. They’ve got money. They’ve got tanks.

No U.S. money. No U.S. tanks.

Which happens to be much better than any tank the Russians have in Ukraine. What does that say about the #2 military in the world?

Poland to send 60

Add a zero to that number to be relevant.

“Russia sent tanks into Ukraine.”

Quite true! So far Russia has supplied Ukraine with more functional tanks and armor than all of the NATO countries combined!

Which is very generous of them!

60 + 14 on top of 250 already delivered. Should reach 600 within the next 12-18 months.
