With Norway's 8 LEO 2A4 tanks having arrived in Ukraine they should now be able to form 1 LEO MBT Battalion this would include the 16 LEO 2A6 tanks sent by Germany.

Well, the good news for the Ukraine is that they good neighbors to the East. An agreement has been made to start overhauls and modernization programs for the Ukrainian T-64 at a newly built tank factory in Poland.
This will be a joint venture.

I might as well post these as it ties into the and might offer some insight into who is repairing at least the Ukraine's Western equipment.

We haven't had news on the LEO 1A5 until now. The plan sounds like they think they can 80 them into the Ukraine before the Summer (We'll see.).

It will be as we thought a mix of the German LEO 1A5/Danish LEO 1A5DK (Both of which have been modified and submitted in my last Part 2 submission.)

Though I know I speculated on the following possibility I was still none the less surprised to see it mentioned. I figured they'd be used in an CS role or rearguard situations.

The article is reporting this...
"The first tanks are anticipated to be ready in the spring, intended for training Ukrainian forces."

So, the keys are ("The first tanks ...") so yes, I feel they will fight at some level.
