According to a video published on Telegram on April 17, 2023, Ukrainian army soldiers train with PT-91 Twardy Main Battle Tanks donated by Poland at one of the Ukrainian army training grounds. According to our sources and as of today, Poland has reportedly delivered PT-91 tanks to Ukraine.

In a press conference on February 24, 2023, Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki revealed that Poland will be supplying an unspecified quantity of PT-91 Twardy Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) to Ukraine.

Poland has been a major European contributor to Ukraine’s military support since the war’s inception. The Polish government has already provided over 230 T-72M and T-72M1R tanks, in addition to 14 German-manufactured Leopard 2A4 tanks from its own military stockpile.

Poland has been a strong supporter of Ukraine since the annexation of Crimea by Russia in 2014. In response to the crisis, Poland has provided military aid to Ukraine, including weapons, ammunition, and military training. In 2021, Poland’s Ministry of National Defense announced that it would send additional military aid, including armored vehicles, to Ukraine.

Poland is also a member of the NATO alliance and has been working with other NATO countries to provide support to Ukraine. This includes providing training and advising to the Ukrainian military, as well as sharing intelligence and conducting joint military exercises.

Polish President Andrzej Duda announced at a joint press conference with Austrian President Alexander van der Bellen in Vienna on April 14, 2023, that Poland’s military aid to Ukraine is currently valued at approximately EUR 3 billion.

The PT-91 Twardy is a Polish main battle tank (MBT) developed as an advanced variant of the Soviet-era T-72. Introduced in the 1990s, the PT-91 features significant upgrades in armor, fire control systems, and engine performance. The tank is equipped with a 125mm smoothbore gun, capable of firing a variety of ammunition, including anti-tank guided missiles.

Additionally, the PT-91 incorporates advanced passive and active protection systems, such as reactive armor and laser warning receivers, to enhance survivability on the battlefield. The tank has seen service with the Polish Armed Forces and has been exported to a few countries, notably Malaysia.

  1. Being basically a T-72, the Ukrainians will be experts at using the PT-91 in short order!
    Thank you, Poland.

  2. I wonder why there’s so much publication on the equipment. Part of me says we shouldn’t be publishing what we are using but then the other part is that we want to scare the orcs shitless

    • It is widely known and circulated that Ukraine has and will receive many tanks, figure on list of information from lowest to highest would be why, which is fully understood at least by most with an ounce of sense. Who, allies are known but some sources of provision are surprising. What, which we hear from open sources some of the what that is being provided. But some of it we are not Bwaaahaaha! The how many/ numbers we hear in part of what allies say will be provided, but what’s said and done maybe less/ maybe more. The biggest part is where it will be used and when that is the more top secret part. For instance I don’t publish time tables of possible movements I hear of. Nor post footage with identifiable landmarks for at least 24-48 hours or more. Information is a part of warfare and the AFU is wisely holding it’s best cards close to the heart.

    • I guess you can see it that way. The more weapons the Ukrainians have, the more fear the cockroaches have.

  3. rashists jail a Crimean resident for 10 years for setting a military draft office on fire and preparing an attack on a bridge. Pray for his safety as well as for all the “Wolverines” and that he be released by an angel of the Lord.
