– emphasizes PGZ on Twitter.
In April this year, just after President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to Poland, PGZ announced that Gliwice-based Bumar-Łabędy and Ukrainian company Ukroboronprom had established a technological center for the repair of Ukrainian T-64 tanks . Over time, the Gliwice plant will also service and modernize the PT-91 and T-72 tanks transferred by Poland to Ukraine, and are also included in the plans for service of the Leopard 2A4 tanks with which the West supports Ukraine.
