PT-91M2
Poland has created the largest army in Europe by the number of tanks due to the acquisition of German (Leopard 2), American (M1 Abrams) and South Korean (K2 Black Panther) vehicles. The bulk of the equipment inherited by the "new democracy" after the collapse of the USSR was transferred by hundreds of copies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine after the outbreak of the Ukrainian conflict.
According to WP Tech, in total, the Kiev regime received about 350 MBT from Warsaw: 250-300 T-72s of various modifications, 30-60 PT-91 (local post-Soviet modernization of the T-72) and at least 14 Leopard 2A4. For most of the transferred vehicles, it was necessary to carry out major repairs, as well as to engage in "maintenance" of equipment that was broken or damaged at the front.
