“They are for real considering giving anything just to help Ukraine,” the official said.

Pand has more than 240 Leard tanks, enough for two tank brigades.

According to the director of the Pish Institute of International Affairs (Warsaw), Slawomir Debski, the pace at which the country could provide tanks to Ukraine will depend on how quickly Pand will receive replacements from South Korea and the U.S.

At the same time, it is noted that Berlin must also approve the move.

As reported, the Leards are much more heavily armored, and more protected against antitank weapons, than the vehicles France, Germany, and the U.S. have so far offered.
