EU paid for some/most of old gear we send to Ukraine. Poland was the first to send tanks while Scholz was busy scaremongering about WW3 on TV and deleting armor from list delivered to UKR, over three hundred PT-91 modernized ex soviet ones + Leopard 2A4s instead of promises of some in 2024. We send jets before public declarations, we send ~100 modern AHS Krab artillery pieces, >50 Rak 120mm arty, 200 modern Rosomak APCs, 30 Oncilla APCs, 12 Mi-24 helicopters, some S-60 old soviet towed AA and 50 deathtrap BMP-1s (still better than civilian trucks). We didnt dig old decommissioned stuff out of museums or deep storage, it all came straight from active use in military units. Purchases you see announced are backfill for that equipment, we are out of stuff to send.



>while Scholz was busy scaremongering

Scholz is a meme.
