More on Marks...
CROATIA/CHANGE/M-84/UNIT 024/START/JAN 2025/VICE/AUG 2022. // The deal for the
LEOPARD 2A8 will happen. Too many articles are popping up and too many officials are talking about this. The
MOU will get the ball rolling. Germany will finance this deal and credit Croatia for the tanks and APC's being given to the Ukraine. Checked with
ORNX NO M-84 tanks have shown up on their list this is important since we "
think" they got them in '
22. In contrast the
M-55S is on the list as
1 Destroyed/1 Damaged with the timeline about the same as the
M-84 roughly. I
believe Croatia was trying to get a different
LEOPARD at the time but they were "
feed" to the Ukraine. My
bottom-line is simply if they had them then odds are they'd be on that list given the numbers they would've gotten which by the way happens to be the same number this deal would get them.
CROATIA simply doesn't have that many of those tanks to give away as
that means they would've received (& about to.) 60 of the 70 of those tanks THEY HAVE IN TOTAL.

And to save time...
UKRAINE/ADD/M-80A/COPY/CROATIA/M-80A/UNIT 539/START/JAN 2025. //Both these units are designated for delivery by the end of this year.
January just feels safer. They will keep the weapons and receive ammo, spares and Maintenace support as part of the package.
Something extra...

Also, Australia will transfer their ABRAMS to the Ukraine however, they will not get the Helos they wanted as well. They already have started to strip them to support the world supply chain for the NH-90 copters. There is
NO TIMELINE for the transfer yet,
SAME for
ABRAMS V3 FOC.
And Don knows my source for this info on Australia, enough said.
