Yea it’s a bad headline.

It should say “first western tanks” as Poland just deliver a whopping four leopard 2’s which I’m assuming is mainly symbolic to get other countries to start donating.

Other countries are also sending Leopards, but most will need at least a few more weeks before they are ready for transfer. Poland were the first to actually deliver (some of) theirs to Ukraine

Canada has actually already delivered 4 Leopard 2’s to the UAF, they’re in Poland being used by Ukrainian crews for training.

I guess these are the first Leopards actually sent to Ukraine, i.e. over the border. Germany for instance has also started training Ukrainian crews.

The first tanks (T72) were delivered by the Czech Republic…few weeks after the invasion.

I think we can all stop trying to have a bigger who delivered first penis and celebrate the fact we're all eager to stand up to the neighborhood bully.

Nobody is doing that! But internet is full of misimformation so we should all try to correct it and limit it. Especially when it is black and white like this case.

Also, Poland is a strong (I’d say politically the strongest) supporter of UA and not being “the first” with tanks is not important.
