This strange behavior by Germany about tanks, and the Western media theatrics, makes no logical sense. Firstly, neighboring NATO countries have been giving Ukraine T-72 type tanks from almost the beginning. NATO countries have already been supplying tanks to Ukraine. Several NATO countries have already and have agreed to supply even more armored, self propelled howitzers, rocket launchers, and infantry fighting vehicles too. In the huge cluster of heavy arms already being supplied, adding Western tanks into the mix should make no difference. It's like when they had to switch from the 152 mm Soviet caliber to the NATO 155 mm caliber howitzers, in order to supply Ukraine. It's just a matter of logistics and supply. At some point, Ukraine has to switch from old T-72 tanks to Western tanks, because that is what NATO presently has and what they can get. I thought the "real line" was modern Western aircraft, like F-16s or A-10s (which would be eyebrow raising). Though somehow, the possible use of Soviet era MiGs from Ukraine and ex-Soviet countries to strike across the border are perceived as non-threatening. If Germany wants to keep "its hands clean", though I don't see how based on all the other weapons and help supplied, they simply can give permission for other countries with their tanks to send them to Ukraine. Then Germany can say they didn't send their tanks, but rather those other countries with German-made tanks did so. If that even makes a difference or any sense. Anyway, seems like Poland's patience with this weird political dancing is about to end and they will send their German Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Poland appears to have nothing to lose, because they have bought American and Korean tanks as replacements.
