In the relatively short term, taking into account the order of 250 M1A2 Abrams SEPv3 and 116 Abrams M1A1 SA, the available 140 Leopard 2A4 tanks (which are being upgraded to the Leopard 2PL version) and 105 Leopard 2A5, 180 Korean K2 will bring Poland to first place among NATO countries in Europe by the number of tanks: overall 791 units (not including Soviet-type vehicles). For clarity, this is about as much as Germany, France, Great Britain and Italy combined. At the same time, the terms of all deliveries are 2025.
