Germany will donate & sell tanks to Czech Republic, freeing Czech T-72 for Ukraine by cz_75 Tags:Ukraine 3 comments The deal will likely lead to complete transfer of Czech T-72 fleet to Ukraine. More importantly, it will free up the entire stock of spare parts and ammunition. Based on the statement of Minister of Defense, this will happen in two waves: * Remaining T-72M1 soon (either directly or via [T-72 Avenger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-72_operators_and_variants#Czech_Republic) upgrade). * 30 T72M4CZ once replacement Leopards arrive. [T72M4CZ have full hunter-killer capability and better night aiming equipment than Leo 2A4](https://youtu.be/sLDfWtgIuQI?si=dNRpvXF4NSn4xU0O) / only slightly lower daytime hit probability while on move. It is roughly T90M equivalent The deal will involve ex-Swiss Leo 2A4 which Switzerland banned from delivery to Ukraine. Czech Republic will be buying 77 Leopard 2A8, thus 2A4 is a suitable bridging option before 2A8 arrive. Very good. But why not just give them directly to Ukraine? What’s wrong with these people?
