If you read this story look like Poland in June 2022 already put pressure on Swiss government to send some of their Leopard 2 Pz87
that was rejected then https://mil.in.ua/en/news/the-swiss-...ard-2a4-tanks/ but this comes back in February 2023 https://mil.in.ua/en/news/switzerlan...ks-to-ukraine/

And here about downgraded Russian version of T-80BVM already in production looks like economical sanctions are working in longer terms.

And now article about interesting Belgian company OIP Land Systems which buy 10 years ago many decommissioned Leopard 1 tanks cheaply €37 000 each.

Quote:
“We are open to all options. But the price must be fair, we are not a charity,” the Head of OIP Land Systems emphasized.
Now he demands 500 000 € for each tanks without any modernisation done during storage
