Reply to comment by Witcher587 in Poland has delivered tanks to Ukraine, government announces on war's first anniversary. by Rifletree

Yea it’s a bad headline.

It should say “first western tanks” as Poland just deliver a whopping four leopard 2’s which I’m assuming is mainly symbolic to get other countries to start donating.

Other countries are also sending Leopards, but most will need at least a few more weeks before they are ready for transfer. Poland were the first to actually deliver (some of) theirs to Ukraine

Canada has actually already delivered 4 Leopard 2’s to the UAF, they’re in Poland being used by Ukrainian crews for training.

I guess these are the first Leopards actually sent to Ukraine, i.e. over the border. Germany for instance has also started training Ukrainian crews.
