A couple of the above were posted, however, since they don't have them, I'm not as concerned about posting much on them.
But I see FROM THE ABOVE POST, it looks like they have them and we're already changing dates.

Note, that what they already got is Leopard
2A4, named 2A4HU, not 2A7HU. They were delivered between 7-12/20 and entered service in 25th Mech Brigade.
2023 date for A7HU is according to Hungarian author's article from 2021 Polish magazine.
Speaking of Leopard 2:
Poland
26 Leopard 2A5, 31 Leopard 2PL - for several years (not known closer) Poland has some of DM-63A1 ammunition as well, so a performance (and name) of 120 mm Mesko gun (pen. 82) should be the same as appropriate German gun, but I don't know which one (120mm L44 WG01 with pen. 86?). "Mesko" is wrong name in this case, because Polish Mesko works produce only own PZ-531 APFSDS, but according to Polish military press, its performance is "probably similar" to basic DM33 round (surely not much better).
Leopard 2PL might receive a new icon, if you would bother - it has different turret (A4 with aditional armour) -
