Poland or any other country using foreign bought or donated tanks or other WILL NOT be able to just send that equipment to another country of their choosing without the permission from the country that sent that in the first place.

Poland can do what they want with their PT-91 tanks as they wish.

As it concerns "their" LEOPARD 2A4/5 and PL, that won't happen without prior approval of the Government of Germany

So as not to have someone think I'm picking on Poland here, the goes for any foreign operator of the ABRAMS as well "and on and on again" etc.

We wait now for Germany, however as you point out that won't happen for at least 2-3 years when Poland has decided they have enough K2PL, M1A1 and M1A2PL ABRAMS tanks in country with fully trained crews and Maintenace support staff and facilities in place.

Regards,
Pat
