Well it looks like the first western MBT in Ukraine will be the Leopard 2A+

I'm pretty sure Leopard 2A+ are fine tanks way better than any tank being used in Ukraine war including T-90M but Finland and Poland are sure more than ready to give Ukraine their likely active Leopard2 fleet. What will Finland replace their Leopar2's with? M1A2 SEPv3? Poland is getting more M1A2 SEPv3 tanks and South Korean K2 tanks... I guess what I'm getting at is Western Euro nations with Leopard2's don't really think too highly of them?
