aid worker, deserter, health worker, tourist ....etc mercenaries come in all forms & shapes. But of course no boots on the ground.
So Leopard's for Ukraine is pretty much a sure thing so much so that Ukrainians will begin training on them. A guy name Relic in another forum did an excellent job breaking down what Ukraine is going to look like come mid spring.
//Leopard 2 MBTs are going to make their way to Ukraine in the next couple months, alongside British Challenger 2 MBTs. The writing is on the wall. A Western Tank Company consists of 14 MBTs. There are 4 companies in a Battalion (56 tanks total). I think that you'll eventually see a slew of countries donate between 1-2 companies each of Leopards, totalling enough for 4 armored battalions. I suspect the distribution of the donation will look something like this.
Austria: 7
Denmark: 7
Norway: 7
Canada: 14
Czech Republic: 15 (currently in storage)
Slovakia: 15 (currently in storage)
Finland: 14
Sweden: 14
Britain: 14 (Challenger 2)
German Industry: 12
German Industry: 21 (Leopard 1s)
Spain: 28
Poland: 28
Germany: 28
Those tanks will be paired with American Bradleys and what I expect to be a coalition of nations that will donate CV90s. 4 new tank battalions would / will be a nice upgrade in capability for Ukraine, heading into a spring offensive. There will be 18, 155m self propelled howitzers attached to each Battalion as artillery support. 18x A109A6 (USA), 18x AS-90 (Britain), 12x Archer + 6 AS-90 (Sweden + Britain) and 18x CEASAR (Denmark).//
That is one helluva offensive fighting force Ukraine will have. They are also being trained in combined arms so that they don't fight like they have been doing with their T-72 tanks going out on their own. This isn't even counting the upgraded Czech and Polish PT-91 T-72's they are getting, combined numbered over 150.
