Poland decided to transfer a company of Leopard tanks to Ukraine

11

The head of Poland, Andrzej Duda, discussed with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki the possibility of transferring German-made Leopard heavy tanks. Following the meeting, the politician announced Warsaw's readiness to send a company of the requested combat vehicles to the Ukrainian army.

One tank company usually consists of no more than 10 vehicles. Such a number of Leopards will not improve the situation on the front for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but it may push Germany and France to approve the supply of tanks from their arsenals. Duda stressed that the sending of Polish tanks would be carried out only within the framework of the international coalition.



The UK Department of Defense has also begun considering sending its heavy Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. However, a number of US, British and German military officials fear that training Ukrainian soldiers to operate modern tanks and their field maintenance will take a long time. As an alternative, they propose to organize the modernization of the Soviet T-72 tanks available in Europe with their subsequent transfer to Kyiv.

It is expected that the final decision will be made at the next meeting of NATO defense ministers, which will be held at the German Ramstein air base on January 20.

    Such a small supply of Leopards is even good for us, because we will see these tanks in action and there will be antidotes for the future. The West has clearly leaked Ukraine and is supplying small batches of weapons for testing in the battle against the RF Armed Forces.

      we won't see... these tanks may remain a pile of rusty metal at one of the railway stations or destroyed in a column on the march. they have already been considered in Syria. the Turks lost leopards there.

        (Cat) You are already an optimist, for some reason the armament of the Armed Forces of Ukraine mainly reached the fronts and was used to the fullest by pre-trained crews (Khimars, M777, etc.) Why will these deliveries go differently, Konashenkov promised?

          beforehand when? leopards, bradleys and patriots will not be trained before spring. but the Himars do not need to reach the front ... the firing range allows him.

        It's not about 10 tanks, but about us "swallowing" them. Hundreds will go for 10.

    MLRS Nimers is not a red line.
    BMP Marder is not a red line.
    BMP Bradley is not a red line.
    10 Leopard tanks is not a red line.
    What is the red line then?

    As far as I understand, leopards2 have good fire control self-propelled guns, and target designation comes from everywhere in the digital field, satellites, UAVs, etc. Even their 10 tanks can hold a front of up to 10 km !! And only UAVs of the Lancet type can destroy them, the rest of the air defense will be cut off, ours never suppressed it, everything is serious ... And then tanks will be delivered from all countries ...

      Tanks leopard 2A4 model is quite old, the tower is square, the gun is inferior to our T72 and they themselves are too big and heavy. The West is simply getting rid of them, albeit reluctantly, simply because there are no other tanks.

    Not created yet? Let's create! . A fund through which it will be possible to reward the soldiers that the officers of the west will be the first to catch. Destroying vehicles is a task on the battlefield, but catching a head is to be thanked! Provided that this head will not be released anywhere.
