Polish Defense Minister Mariusz B\u0142aszczak stated on January 24 that Poland formally requested Germany grant permission to transfer Poland\u2019s Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, and German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated that Berlin would not interfere if Poland wanted to send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine.\u00a0British officials confirmed on January 16 that the United Kingdom would send Ukraine 14 Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine. French President Emmanuel Macron stated he would not rule out the possibility of France sending Ukraine Leclerc tanks on January 22.</p></blockquote><p>American tanks, German tanks, British tanks, and French tanks, surely it would simplify logistics to have one type of tank</p></blockquote><p>Secretly just a Anglo-Franco-German competition to see who\u2019s tank is best in a trial-by-fire.</p></blockquote>\n<p>No worries about them falling into enemy hands and being reverse-engineered now that it&rsquo;s all on the War Thunder forums anyway</p>"}
