  1. This is also reported by the german public broadcaster ARD. Quoting a MoD spokesperson.

  2. Polands Piss-party would rather piss on Germany’s leg than faciliate a quick repair/maintenance for ukrainian Leopard tanks. I hope the polish people will keep this in mind next election.

  3. crazy that 8 out of 14 Leo 2A4’s from Poland were delivered damaged. Incredible.

  4. Good, fuck Poland and their extortive, absurd demands. 100x the usual amount of money for inspections alone, wtf Poland. You get what you deserve and that is no repair hub in this case

  5. So Poland did it again and made so impossible demands that they need to build up a repair network elsewhere or move them back to germany.

    I wonder where the outrage is in such cases, if they really want to help Ukraine then maybe for once stop playing these idiotic politic games.

  6. No surprise here.

    I bet Poland also asked EU to reimburse millions for the MIG29 they received from Germany for 1€.

    This level of greed and selfishness while also selling themselves as brothers to Ukraine is unparalleled.

  7. It’s not optimal for Ukraine but I’m happy for Lithuania. We are strengthening our military ties with Germany more and more (Boxers, PZ-2000, G36, German brigade). Also we are planning to buy tanks, I wouldn’t be surprised if that will be German tanks. It’s good to have this partnership it balances out Polish influence.

  8. “The ministry confirmed that the Leopard 2A5 and 2A6 tanks supplied by Germany and other partners will initially be “repaired in Germany and probably also in Lithuania”. These repairs could begin immediately. It is still unclear where the Leopard tanks supplied by other partners are to be repaired. “Negotiations are still ongoing,” said the spokesman. ”

  9. Remember this the next time people praise Duda or Morawiecki:

    * The PiS government now blocked **two** repair centers for german arms because they didn’t get something out of it
    * Their aid gets reimbursed with 84% or 42% by the EU (depending on the date), because paying for stuff isn’t something they’d consider doing
    * They blocked ukrainian grain because party officials fucked up the grain market by selling too much illegally
    * [They’re still importing hundreds of millions of russian oil](https://notesfrompoland.com/2023/04/04/poland-remains-eus-biggest-importer-of-russian-lpg-paying-e710-million-to-moscow-last-year/)
    * They claimed they wanted to send Leopards to Ukraine, then pretended they were “blocked” by our gov when it said “sure, go along!”, and then frantically handed in their re-export request weeks later, coincidentally on the same day germany announced Leopards, to not look like what they are – lying PR-stuntmen.

    Nothing but respect for the polish citizens for taking in so many refugees with open arms. Nothing but shame on this shitshow of a government. PiS doesn’t give a shit about Ukraine, they don’t give a shit about the EU, they simply like russia the least of all three and see this as an opportunity to gain PR points. And thats the **only** thing that differs them from Hungary.

    Also lets see how long this thread stays up.
