The first Canadian tank Leopard 2A4 transferred to Ukraine arrived in Poland

The first Canadian tank Leopard 2A4, transferred to Ukraine as part of military assistance, has arrived in Poland. A C-17 military transport aircraft of the Canadian Air Force landed on the territory of a military airfield, most likely in Rzeszow, where a logistics hub for supplying Ukraine is located.

About arrival tank Canadian Defense Minister Anita Anand reported to Poland. According to her, this tank will be used to train Ukrainian crews, so it will not immediately go to Ukraine. The training of Ukrainian tankers will also take place in Poland, and Canadian military instructors will arrive here in the near future.

The first Canadian Leopard 2 main battle tank, which we presented to Ukraine, has arrived in Poland. (...) Together with our allies, in the near future we will train the Armed Forces of Ukraine to use this technique

- said the Canadian Minister of Defense.

In total, Canada will betray four Leopard 2A4 main battle tanks to Kyiv, when the next three arrive is not reported. In general, Zelensky wanted to beg his friend Justin Trudeau, who holds the chair of the Canadian prime minister, for at least forty German-made tanks, but what happened was what happened. And on this, as they say, thanks, the more quickly everyone. In Europe, they don’t itch at all, in Germany they have already expressed their surprise at this fact.

Recall that at the first stage, Europe intends to form two battalions of German tanks, mainly modifications of Leopard 2A4 with one company of Leopard 2A6 from the presence of the Bundeswehr. New units should have time to prepare for a possible offensive by the Russian army, but judging by the fact that no one is in a hurry, Kyiv will be met by Russian troops with one company of German tanks.

the tank will be used to train Ukrainian crews

One for all and all for one. And how many crews can be trained with one tank and how long it will take .. In all these deliveries, commerce is more visible ..

[Thrall]

Poland itself has about a hundred 2A4s and another one and a half - 2A5s.

[digger]

The rest of the tanks of the tank coalition are the same - they will come to Poland and stay there. the crews will train ... and when Ukraine is liquidated they will disperse throughout the EU.

.and when Ukraine is liquidated they will disperse throughout the EU
And when will it be liquidated?

I would suggest that we give bonuses for destroyed enemy tanks and self-propelled guns not only to our fighters, but also to Ukrainian crews, if these very intact tanks are driven to our territory.

[Shket53]

For Sanik2020 .... so it seems they have already announced what a whole Leopard is, it doesn’t matter if our fighters get it in battle or capture it, or the suckers bring it intact, then 12 lyam rubles of the premium, but for Abrash, for some reason only 10 lyam, for each live instructor, for a German, 1 lyama ruble, and for a living Yankee only 800 pieces, in short, the Yankees are not quoted

How did the Russian Foreign Ministry react to this? As usual. No way. Did not lower or break off diplomatic relations. It is because of this policy of "keep your mouth shut" on Russia that all sorts of American mongrels began to kick up their legs.
Are they afraid to offend their "partners" or do they not know where to employ a bunch of idlers and traitors from the embassy staff?

this tank will be used to train Ukrainian crews, so it will not go to Ukraine right away.

And I propose to put it on a pedestal as a symbol of the revival of Nazism in Europe. Let them admire, even bring flowers, sing the Ukrainian anthem, jump and shout chants about Russians. In a word, let off steam.

Disguise supplies in this way. Who will put the Ukrainians behind the tank right away? First, the training center and stands. Moreover, the Poles have everything, but the Ukrainians will study on their own, some kind of nonsense.
If Manstein had suggested to Hitler in 1943 that he put Raguli-Bandera on the Tigers and Panthers, then he would have ended up in a psychiatric hospital on the same day

The first Canadian tank Leopard 2A4 transferred to Ukraine arrived in Poland

so was it handed over to ukraine or delivered to poland so far?

[yuriy1863]

There you go, a very valid question. In accounting terms, you need to understand who takes this tank to the "balance" and who will be responsible for it? Or "transferred to Ukraine" into the hands of Poland?
