Canada promised to supply Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, but not in the near future

Canada will supply Ukraine Tanks Leopard 2A4 from its own army, and will also provide military assistance in the amount of 650 million Canadian dollars. This decision was made following the visit of the Ukrainian president to the country.

Zelensky visited Canada, arriving there straight from the United States to meet with his friend Justin Trudeau, hoping to extract as much military assistance from him as possible, preferably with armored vehicles. And the Canadian prime minister did not disappoint, promising to supply Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, and even top it up with 650 million dollars, albeit Canadian ones.

Here we should rejoice at the head of the Kyiv regime, but not everything is as beautiful as it is presented. As it turned out, Kyiv will receive everything promised not right now, but within three years. Moreover, neither the number of additional tanks promised nor the timing of their delivery is known. There is simply a promise from the Canadian Prime Minister.

It is worth noting that, as part of the so-called “tank coalition,” Canada promised to supply Ukraine with ten Leopard 2A4 tanks, but managed to “scrape together” only eight. Two never made it to Kyiv for some reason, most likely technical.

According to data from open sources, the Canadian army is armed with 82 Leopard tanks acquired in 2007 + another 30 “training” tanks, not suitable for combat operations. Of these, only 40 are in service - these are 20 Leopard 2A6M CAN tanks and another 20 in the Leopard 2A4M CAN modification. As it turned out, in fact there are much fewer of them - only about 20 units. Another 42 Leopard 2A4M CAN tanks are being mothballed. Apparently Ukraine was counting on them.

Let us recall that at the beginning of the year Zelensky tried to get at least 40 Leopard 2A4 tanks from Trudeau, but managed to persuade only four, to which the same number were later added.

Kneeling works wonders.

So by the fiftieth year, when Ukraine will no longer exist on the world map, you can promise anything..

but not anytime soon
Yesterday there were small ones for three rubles, and tomorrow they were big ones, but for five...

By the way, Canada gave them the Leopard 2A4/2A4M - not a bad upgrade at all. From armor to electronics. These tanks are a force to be reckoned with.

The lancet will count. The Swedes just handed over 12 modernized boxes, 2 are already being melted down.

And if you vigorously stroke the prime minister’s back, as Zelya did at the airport, then the chances will be higher.

Zelensky’s work after the elections has not changed at all... The scale has changed... Before the elections he was begging for money from Kolomoisky for the “95th quarter”, but after that he is begging for money all over the world for the war with Russia for Ukraine... The profession of begging “beggar” has always been a profitable profession...

[Thrifty]

For what kind of shaitan would you give away the tanks from your inventory? The Canadian is clearly in a bad mood to send the beggars to hell!

[Nexcom]

How is it possible?! No, I can’t send the one who kissed Biden’s shoes.

[Beck69]

Canada, a branch of Bandera’s Ukraine, after the war all the UPA, UNA-UNSO and other independent garbage immigrated there.

[Azerbaijan2023]

Leopard 2A4 is certainly not a bad tank, it is well suited for modernization, but the 2A4 model does not cause problems for modern tank destroyers.

On the way home, he flew into Poland; not a single Polish official met him. He had to communicate with volunteers.

[Nexcom]

Why the hell did he go to Poland? Zelya declared an embargo against Polish apples, tomatoes and strawberries... Or does he think vegetables and vegetables, but begging for weapons is something else? The Poles are harmful - they won’t forget. And they won't forgive him.

[blackcat]

It’s dangerous to fly straight home, they can shoot you down, and your own people from Perelak, so Poland, and then here and there, by train, in an armored carriage near Kuev

It's time to stop paying attention to Western statements. We must finally understand that all statements are made for idiots. In fact, Kyiv will be supplied with everything necessary to cause maximum harm to Russia. Supplies will be dosed depending on the progress of hostilities, but their intensity will steadily increase. This tactic was chosen by the West with the aim of strangling Russia like a rabbit boa constrictor. And if Russia does not turn the situation in its favor, then this is where it will all end.

[Ezekiel 25-17]

Here, in general, everything is clear: after they rubbed each other’s backs and obviously not only at the airfield, these tanks appeared.

[Nexcom]

....and maybe not only rubbed each other’s backs.... but not in public.

But... for 3 years. And Zelensky was absolutely sure that Trudeau would not let him down and even tore open his pockets, which, on Biden’s advice, he sewed up before his trip to the United States.

By the spring of the 25th there will be tomahawks. Absolutely seriously.

Can I ask if the means of destruction that 2A4 has will cause him any problems destroying 72 and 90?

[Beck69]

Yes, they will deliver. Number of Russian tanks, helicopters and anti-tank ATGMs.

Were you all stuck in WWII or did you replay tanks? Masses of tanks are not fighting against tanks now. But a cornet with a whirlwind doesn’t care whether he can or can’t - he still needs to get to the distance of a direct shot.

If we consider that the “leopards” are exclusively manned by Bundeswehr crews, then the problem of transferring a large number is not the amount of equipment, but the number of crews ready to go to slaughter.

[Nexcom]

Well, that means Canadian crews will now sit in the Canadian Leo..... They will pick up Canadian Svidomo and go ahead.

There are many immigrants from Ukraine in Canada, both old and new. Therefore, there will be support for the regime. Perhaps not in such an obvious form, but it will happen.
