Polish-Made Tanks Lead Ukrainian Assault in Russia’s Kursk Region
As the Ukrainian offensive unfolds in the Russian Kursk region, the involvement of Polish-manufactured tanks has come to light, with significant impacts on Russian defenses.
The 22nd Ukrainian Mechanized Brigade has been at the forefront of the attack, utilizing PT-91 Twardy tanks, which have a history of being manufactured in Poland.
Retired General Waldemar Skrzypczak, former commander of the Polish Land Forces, noted the sufficiency of the equipment for the operation, reflecting confidence in the effectiveness of these tanks on this front. It was only after a week into the offensive that Ukraine eased its information blackout, allowing the emergence of photos and videos from the early days of the operation, revealing PT-91 tanks leading the charge. These tanks, long familiar within Poland, have contributed to considerable Russian casualties, drawing attention not just in Poland but also in Russia, where their presence has been exploited by Russian propaganda to allege the involvement of Polish mercenaries.
Military officials have described the PT-91 Twardy as an excellent machine for combat and expressed their lack of surprise that these tanks are part of the 22nd Brigade’s arsenal. General Skrzypczak emphasized the brigade’s preference for homogeneous equipment to streamline training, command, and logistics.

The ongoing use of these tanks by the brigade, which received them back in 2023 and has since experienced heavy combat, including during last year’s unsuccessful Zaporizhzhia offensive, underscores their sustained operational readiness. Despite previous losses, these Polish machines have been maintained, repaired, and kept combat-ready with the assistance of Polish industry.
“They continuously maintain, repair, and fix them because they don’t have many options and strive to keep these tanks always combat-ready, and they do this with the help of the Polish industry,” explains General Skrzypczak.
The PT-91 Twardy, a significant upgrade over the Soviet-era T-72, features enhancements like the Polish Drawa fire control system, maintaining its reputation on the Ukrainian front despite newer tanks like the Leopards and Abrams entering service. General Skrzypczak acknowledges that while it may no longer be top of its class, the PT-91 remains a valuable asset in current operations, where it performs reliably at a higher level of technical readiness. This efficiency is crucial as these raiding units need to ensure their return from operations.
The Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region shows no signs of abating, with fresh reports on Monday morning indicating the potential expansion of attacks to the Belgorod region of Russia as well.

Kiev Failed to Notify Backers of Kursk Incursion – Berlin
Ukraine kept its plans for an incursion in Russia’s Kursk Region secret, the deputy spokesman for the German government has said. Wolfgang Buchner claimed on Monday that none of Kiev’s backers had been informed in advance about Ukraine’s plan to attack Russian territory.
“There is contradictory and sometimes deliberately distorted information about the operation, which was apparently prepared very secretly and without feedback,”Buchner said at a press briefing.
He did not condemn or otherwise appraise the situation, saying only that “everything so far looks like a spatially limited operation.”However, he noted that details were still unclear and therefore “it would be unwise to make a public statement.”
Buchner said Berlin would be in close contact with “all partners, including the government in Kiev” in relation to the incursion.
When asked whether Ukraine was using weapons supplied by Germany in the operation, Buchner said Berlin did not have sufficient information to comment. However, a spokesman for the German Defense Ministry separately clarified that there was nothing stopping Kiev from using the weapons supplied by Germany on Russian soil.

“International law stipulates that a defending state may also defend itself on the territory of the attacker… There are no obstacles whatsoever and Ukraine is free to choose its options,” he stated.
The same position was set out by Social Democratic Party’s (SPD) chairman Lars Klingbeil, who defended Ukraine’s “right to defend itself”by encroaching on Russian territory using Western-supplied weapons.
“That is what is happening right now, it is part of a war. You can find that brutal, we all want peace, but we are also consciously saying that Ukraine must be able to defend itself,” he asserted. He noted, however, that Kiev’s reasons for the incursion remain unclear.
“We will certainly hear more in the next few days whether it is about getting Russia to the negotiating table quickly, as some suspect, or whether it is about causing unrest on the Russian side,” the politician stated.
