Thank you AGAIN, Denmark!
What in the world is Denmark doing with T-72s? I’m no expert but that strikes me as strange, I can’t see them buying those.
Not just T-72’s, but modernized T-72EA’s.
Denmark bought them from other countries, specifically to give to Ukraine. The advantage of the T-72’s is that the Ukrainian military knows how to operate them, so they don’t need to undergo training.
I think the guy responsible for images in the article doesn’t know his shoes from his undies.
It’s amazing what these smaller countries are sacrificing for this. God bless them all.
