Huh i thought that the tank deal was cancelled and the only thing that’s arriving were the planes. That’s very worrying honestly that Poland after 35 years finally signed a big weapon deal that don’t seem to be a complete fuckup, and that they dared to buy something not in USA or Germany.
Non socialist Poland should not be decently armed, ever.
Because they don’t have anything to sell. US promised to sell new replacements to every EU country who sent their old stock to Ukraine, there’s a waiting list, I imagine.
You’re probably right. And this replacement deal was even real? I can recall that Poland offered to send F-16 and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine if NATO proved replacements even back in 2022 or 2023 but USA did straight up denied.
Yes, it is why countries agreed to send their current stock to Ukraine (Latvia sent all of their helicopters, all four of them lol, Slovenia sent old M-55 tanks and received Leopards or IFVs iirc, Netherlands and Denmark are sending F-16s since they’re replacing them with F-35s from the US, Denmark also sent all of their Caesar SPGs and is most likely gonna buy new ones, and so on).

Here’s a list from May of the different “coalitions” working to arm Ukraine.
