If you want to get the best tanks that are available, you either buy the American M1 or the German Leopard 2. How good they are now exactly depends on the exact versions but they are generally the best of the best of a certain age bracket of tanks.
With a few nations sending stuff, Ukraine is getting 30 M1s and around 45-50 Leopard 2s or so. Some of those are the older Leopard 2A4 standard, which was up to date in the late 80s and some are the newer A6 standard from the late 90s/early 2000s.
The big thing is that heavy tanks like these are indispensable offensive weapons. If Ukraine uses them well, they have the capability to go on serious offensives and retake territory much more effectively than before.
Oh tank of the lake, what is your wisdom? >

How many is a company? >

According to German media it's a company. 14 tanks. >

Same as Poland then. Poland will send their 30-40 year old 2A4s instead of their modernized ones tho (the german ones are 2A6s, which is the version build in the 2000s). >

The A6 have the newer L/55 gun..
Massive firepower upgrade + new optics >

This does not include weaponry. You always want to shoot the shiny new gun when the opportunity presents itself." >

Hey, tank guys: I'm tech, but not up on military. What's the significance of the Leopards?
