According to a tweet published by “Ukraine Weapon Tracker” on June 28, 2023, Poland could provide Ukraine with 60 additional PT-91 “Twardy” Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) to the newly formed 22nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Army. The PT-91 “Twardy” tanks will provide Ukraine with enhanced armored capabilities, strengthening its position against current challenges.
Poland’s decision to transfer these 60 modernized tanks to Ukraine is the latest example of the strong cooperation between the two countries. As a member of the European Union and NATO, Poland recognizes the importance of supporting Ukraine. This recent tank donation adds to the previous deliveries, which already include over 250 T-72M and T-72M1(R) tanks, 14 Leopard 2A4 tanks, and 60 PT-91s tanks.
The PT-91 “Twardy” tanks are known for their robustness and reliability on the battlefield. Through modernization, they are equipped with advanced communication systems, reinforced armor, and improved firepower. These tanks also offer enhanced mobility and maneuverability, which are crucial in complex operational environments.
