One Canadian Leopard is on its way to Ukraine, via airlift.
Portugal finally said it agrees to send a few Leopards, but refuses to say how many, and when. It is said that over the half of their Leopards are not operational.
No other Leopard-owner beside Poland (14) and Germany (14+x) and Canada (4) has made any binding committments to the call for Leopards so far. All the loud heroic voices before the German agreement have fallen silent. Times goes by. Ukraine waits and cannot afford to wait. More time passes. The silence continues.
And 31 Abarams are 8-12 or more months away.
The brightest outlook on the tanks: the Brits say the Ukrainian crews for the Callengers they train are over-motivated and learn much faster than was anticipated.
