Ukraine to Send Two Sophisticated Tanks to Nigeria

[aliaselin]

While Ukrainian soldiers in the ATO area are in dire need of arms and military equipment, Ukraine is going to send to Nigeria two advanced battle tanks "Oplot", made in the Ukrainian Malyshev Plant in Kharkiv.
Oleh Tytarenko, a lawyer and a member of the Shevchenko district (Kyiv) local defense informed about this, Censor.NET reports.

He said that the tanks were supposed to fly to Nigeria yesterday, but due to problems with a Ruslan plane, the flight was delayed. According to Titarenko, this fact has caused a storm of indignation among the workers of the Antonov plant (at this time the tanks are at the plant's airport in Hostomel). The information on combat vehicles sending to Nigeria got leaked to the political circles that's why the tanks are still in Ukraine

meh big deal.
West is going to send Ukraine 100's of M1s and Leopard 1s in the coming the year.
Oplot is more for export than domestic use.

just speculation
this is assuming current Ukraine government will still be in power.
if they are moving towards the West they are going to need new supplies to replace old T-series tanks

T-84s Oplots will be better than A1s & Leo-1s, if west is ready to send A2s, Challenger-2s & Leo-2-A7s then they mean business, sending old stuff against Russia is just putting stuff for slaughter against them. Russian gun ships will eat them.
