A German Panther tank found in the courtyard of a Kazan university was taken to a museum

In the exercises, which take place near the border with the Kaliningrad region, the Polish military used the latest South Korean-made K2 Black Panther tanks. This was reported by the press service of the 16th Mechanized Division; its message on the social network X was reposted by the Polish Ministry of National Defense.

“At the training ground in Bemowo Piska [a settlement in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship in northern Poland], the K2 of the 20th Bartoszycki Mechanized Brigade came into action. Training is in full swing,” the message says.

The tweet also published photographs of firing from these tanks, including at night.

Earlier, the Polish Ministry of Defense announced on Facebook that it had received the first batch of 18 K2 tanks from South Korea.

At the end of February, the General Staff of the Polish Army announced the start of exercises with the participation of the military of other countries, Dragon-24. It was planned that a total of about 20 thousand military personnel and 3.5 thousand units of military equipment from ten NATO countries would take part in the exercises, including about 15 thousand soldiers of the Polish armed forces.

Poland and South Korea have agreed to supply Black Panther tanks in August 2022. The agreement provides for the purchase of 180 K2 tanks by Poland.

“We draw conclusions from what is happening beyond our eastern border. For security, it is important to develop ground forces, tank forces and artillery,” Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak noted at the signing of the supply agreement.
