Polish tankers refused to go to Ukraine

15

Polish tankers refused to go to Ukraine as part of the crews of Leopard combat vehicles, which Warsaw intends to deliver to Kyiv in the near future. Recently, a video appeared on Polish social networks, the author of which claims that the government of the country was going to supply Leopard tanks to Ukraine, the crews of which were supposed to be members of the Polish army. It is reported, however, that the tankers refused to comply with this order.

The published video caused some bewilderment of commentators. After all, for example, the crews of the Polish self-propelled artillery installations "Crab" consist of servicemen of the Polish army. In this regard, the refusal of tank crews to go to Ukraine seemed illogical to many.




Poland is now one of the main supporters of the supply of heavy equipment APU in Europe. To encourage EU partners to transfer tanks and infantry fighting vehicles to Kyiv, Warsaw decided to be the first to supply the Ukrainian army with a company of Leopard tanks. In all likelihood, Polish officials want to save time on training the Ukrainian military and send Polish crews to the country along with combat vehicles.

But, probably, the military did not like this decision. After all, the result of the confrontation between Leopard tanks and Russian T-90 Proryv combat vehicles is, to put it mildly, unpredictable. And it seems that far from all Polish citizens are ready to die for the Kyiv regime.

    It is a pity that the Polish tankers refused.
    Four Polish corpses near the burning "Leoperd" would greatly decorate the Ukrainian landscape and the pages of the Western press.

      Especially if instead of helmets they put on quadrangular confederates for greater clarity!

      Ukrainians will be happy to take selfies against the backdrop of a wrecked Leopard 2 with scattered corpses of Polish tankers.

    And, again, noodles from someone unknown to anyone blogger.
    It has been repeatedly stated that "the crews of the Polish Crab self-propelled artillery installations consist of servicemen of the Polish army" only on the territory of Poland. From whom else.
    And in Ukraine - only fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, according to the news.
    it will be the same with tanks.

    If it was assumed that the crews would go to Ukraine and hand over the equipment there, then the guys did not want to substitute themselves, let alone fight, so be it. Cavalry!

    What is the illogicality?
    "Crabs" are somewhere out there, far from the line of contact. They fired at a fast pace and fled.
    This will not work with tanks, they are at the very front, pan "perplexed commentators" ..

    the refusal of the tankers to go to Ukraine seemed illogical to many. Why is it not logical? the tankers watched videos of how crabs were burning merrily and decided that they didn’t need it

    It’s just that the Polish artillerymen believe that they won’t get them, and the tankers understand that they will burn along with the tank, that’s all am

    the t-90m is of course powerful and beautiful, but I think a tank company with 4 command vehicles, even before meeting the t-90m in size, into individual elements of the hulls, ordinary wearable anti-tank systems, as the Kurds did with half the Turkish leopards 2a4 during the invasion of the latter in Syria, where the Kurds lived compactly.

    Polish tankers are well aware that these Leopards for the Russian Aerospace Forces are the number one goal on the battlefield. The chance of being killed increases exponentially.

    it is doubtful that the vast majority in Europe have any desire to fight in Ukraine at all. In Poland, they seem to be going to arrange a huge anti-war protest somewhere around January 21 throughout the country ... Governments are one thing, and peoples are another ...

    At one time, TV screens showed a multi-part film based on the novel by Pshimanovsky (I could be wrong), which was called 'Four Tankmen and a Dog'. I remember that the commander was Janek, the Georgian driver and 2 other members, and the dog was the shepherd Sharik. Judging by the film, this four and the nurse Red (together with Sharik) won the entire Second World War ... The Poles are great warriors !!! I'm laughing ... Last summer I burned junk in the country, I found this little book ... and burned it with great pleasure))) I don't like corrupt psheks ...
