The Polish Army has been using Leopard 2 tanks since 2002.
128 of Leopard 2A4 were bought from German Bundeswehr
surplus under an intergovernmental agreement signed in
January 2002. Those are vehicles produced in the half of
1980s as a part of the fifth production series (six in 1985, 96
in 1986, and 26 in 1987) and they were not excessively used
in Germany – the degree of wear at the moment of acquisition
by the Polish army was estimated as 25–30%.
