Reply to comment by MethodZealousideal11 in Canada pledges more tanks to Ukraine, imposes new Russia sanctions by Tei-ren

We need to send more, but even 4 tanks (for a total of 8 pledged by Canada) is an extra tank platoon. We're some way away from refurbishing and sending 50 tanks as suggested by a retired Canadian general recently [e: source], but 8 is 10% of our Leo 2 MBT force.

Yeah, I think that the guy you're responding to doesn't understand that Canada's ramping up and doing what it can given it's relatively small military. As an American, I'm glad for what Canada's doing and together with other like-minded countries, we're going to get this done for Ukraine.

8 may very well be half of our operational 2A4's at this point lol
