The Minister of Defense of the Netherlands clarified the issue of "delivery" of Soviet T-72 tanks to Ukraine

In the recently announced deal between the Netherlands and Ukraine for the supply of Soviet tanks The T-72 has been clarified, Kyiv will receive tanks, but not from the Dutch Ministry of Defense, since this country does not have Soviet equipment. The delivery itself is much larger and not only the Netherlands is involved in it.

Ukraine will receive 90 Soviet tanks from the storage of the Czech army that have undergone modernization, and the Netherlands and the USA will pay for this very modernization and the supply of tanks to Ukraine. Each country will pay for 45 tanks. This was announced by the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands Kaisa Ollongren during a speech in the country's parliament. At the same time, this is presented as a supply of armored vehicles by the Netherlands.



The Netherlands will provide Ukraine with heavy military equipment. The total cost of the next aid package is 120 million euros, of which 45 million euros is assigned to T-72 tanks.

- quotes the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands her words.

According to the data provided, the Czech Republic will restore and modernize 90 tanks with funds allocated by the Netherlands and the United States, after which it will begin to supply them to Ukraine. The first batch should arrive in December of this year.

Meanwhile, the US has announced a new $400 million military aid package for Ukraine. This is the first in the new fiscal year (started on October 1) targeted allocation of budget funds under the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) program for the purchase and production of new weapons and military equipment from industry for subsequent transfer to Ukraine. The new delivery includes: 45 modernized T-72B tanks with improved optics, communications and protection; 1100 drones-kamikaze Phoenix Ghost; 40 river armored boats; secure radio communication systems.

In addition, the Americans are funding the repair and modernization of the HAWK air defense system and 250 M1117 ASV wheeled armored vehicles (from storage) for subsequent deliveries.

      Well, that's what the members of the forum thought yesterday.

      And yet the question remained. T-72B, these tanks were not produced abroad and were delivered to a limited number of countries, the main buyer is India, they were also delivered to other countries, to the same GDR, but not in very large quantities, so scrape together 90 of these tanks across Europe it must be tried. So it is possible that they are purchased outside of Europe, and then sent to factories in the Czech Republic and Slovakia

    The information from the Dutch side simply confirms what was said yesterday when discussing an article on this topic. True, some participants did not agree with this and considered it necessary to find out where the tanks came from. I hope everyone is happy today. The Czechs are "cutting coal in the Stakhanov style" (supplying weapons), as they believe, forging a victory for Ukraine. But how will it count for them?

        The Czechs fought normally both in WWI and in WWII. Czechoslovak military units were both part of the Red Army and part of the Allies. The fact that their political leadership in 1938 turned out to be eggless is not the fault, but the misfortune of the people.
        Today, the Armed Forces of the Chechen Republic are very small, because they are, firstly, an integral part of NATO, and then, as we see, NATO forces, with the exception of the United States and France, did not prepare for war at all and rather resembled the Reichswehr of the Weimar Republic.

      I agree on the boats, but the problem is that these are decommissioned, heavily used boats and the condition there is terrible, putting them in order normally takes several months, they will probably be ready by spring, and new ones are not even riveted by spring .... for tanks - curious , what will they be able to "upgrade" in a month? Most likely, the money will be plundered, and the dill will be supplied with the same "modernized" ones as the psheks supplied 273 tanks - without working protection and with partially inoperative equipment, and often with only two old batteries? The tanks there require a lot of maintenance in order to restore the combat capability of these tanks for more than one exit - it takes 2-3 months (if there is a spare part), and a good modernization will take several months, so by spring ... by spring ... if they survive ... as for kamikaze drones, they haven’t been produced for dill yet, of course they will give a small batch from the warehouse, but 1100 pieces will have to be riveted for a year and a half (each drone must be made for several months). So until spring.

    There is a mistake in the article. These are not tanks from the warehouses of the Czech army, but from the warehouse of a private company czechoslovakia group, which will also modernize them. It will probably be similar to the Scarab. What surprises me quite a bit is that the first 26 tanks should already have been be delivered in December, that's a decent pace.

    In the Czech Republic, there are a lot of things in warehouses. It is not for nothing that Petrov and Boshirov have recently fussed there. For example, Georgia, not so long ago, is either T55. whether the T62 was sold by the Soviets. New, from conservation
