[Regnum] Polish troops have received another batch of K2GF Black Panther tanks. The Polish Armament Agency reported this on October 21.
"New K2GF Black Panther tanks are arriving to the military," reads a post on H.'s social media account.
The equipment was delivered to the 16th Mechanized Division, stationed near the town of Braniewo, 4 km from the border with the Kaliningrad region. Along with the combat vehicles, the latest shipment also included ammunition for tanks and artillery, tool kits, spare parts, and reconnaissance drones.
The deliveries are reportedly being carried out under a second executive agreement signed with the South Korean company Hyundai Rotem. The contract also includes the production of 61 K2PL tanks at a Polish plant.
Earlier this year, State Duma deputy and parliamentary committee member Andrei Kolesnik reported on NATO troop movements near the Kaliningrad region. For example, tanks were deployed by rolling stock in the Polish city of Gdansk, located 50 km from the Russian region's border, and tank columns also moved along the ring road around Warsaw.
On September 13, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski announced that NATO should intensify military exercises near the Kaliningrad region. He also noted that Warsaw is closely monitoring developments in the Kaliningrad region and that there are no troops there.
