Polish General Valdemar Skshipchak, a tankman in the specialty, said that Leopard 2 tanks were practically perfect weapons. In an interview with “Air Force Ukraine” he explained that Ukraine needs to create a “tank fist”.
“In a collision with these tanks (Leopard 2), Russian, including their praised T -14 Armata, have no chance,” the general emphasized.
He recalled that a number of European countries have these tanks, and if each of them provided this equipment, two tanks battalions could be formed (one battalion – from 31 to 40 tanks – UNIAN.). And then Leopard 2 would have influenced the course of war with the Russian army.
Skshipchak noted that to provide Ukraine with even 30 tanks is not enough. She needs to create her own “tank fist” to free the occupied territories, it should consist of 350-400 tanks.
“It is necessary for all countries to form and provide Ukraine with these tanks. If there is such a” fist “, then the Ukrainian army will break the Russian one,” the Polish general emphasized.
The United States has large reserves of such tanks, he continued. Therefore, America could give them to Poland, and that to Ukraine. Skshipchak says that this needs a political decision right now, because Russia is preparing for a new attack.
