Ukraine uses Poland's PT-91 Twardy tanks in Kursk region, without asking separate permit

The Polish side did not regulate the use of such tanks in battles against the Russian forces directly on the territory of the Russian Federation, Defense Express underlines. The Polish leadership is guided by the following principle: after the physical transfer of a particular weapon to the Ukrainian military, it is no longer Polish property, so Ukraine has the right to dispose of it as it sees fit.

What is specific about this story is that Polish diplomats stated this principle while speaking to journalists of the Romanian specialized media Defense Romania. From this one can conclude that the voicing of this principle, which concerns Ukraine's actions on the battlefield, is also of some importance for bilateral relations between Poland and Romania.

At the same time, it should be noted from Defense Express that, for example, the approximate number of PT-91 Twardy tanks that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can currently use in the Kursk region is not disclosed. This suggests that this is more of a political incident than a factor that could have a large-scale impact on the course of events on the battlefield.

In addition, it is difficult to establish the chronology here, whether PT-91 Twardy tanks were used from the first days of the fighting in Kursk region or whether these tanks were introduced into the area a little later.

It is interesting that in this story, Romanian journalists use the information that Ukraine could have received several dozen (i.e. up to 100) PT-91 Twardy tanks from Poland, as well as 250 T-72M1 tanks.
