It's sad to say, but I feel it has to be mentioned that Leo 1 tanks are nothing like Leo 2. Of course, 49 tanks are always better than 0 tanks, but European countries should pull themselves together and get more Leo 2s to Ukraine asap. If (when) Ukrainian forces are going to spearhead through a breach or weakness in Russian defences, a large number of high quality tanks are going to be needed.

It seems ukraine didnt/doesnt use the given tanks as they were (perhaps too quickly) taught, so the quality of tanks is not as important as the number of tanks.

Indeed, they use the tanks in an improved way, so they will probably upgrade these tanks as well: https://nafo.army/@chrisschmitz/110855173124994792
