Poland and the eastern flank: The only operator in the module. A framework agreement of July 2022 for up to 1,000 tanks; a first executive contract for 180 K2GF on 26 August 2022, delivered from December 2022 and completed in 2025; a second executive contract of 1 August 2025 for 180 more — 116 K2GF and 64 K2PL — with the K2PL to be assembled in Poland; and an April 2026 agreement on domestic production. The Polish Land Forces name the type on their own equipment page. Programme facts only.
Rolle auf dem Gefechtsfeld
Main battle tank for the divisions Poland is building on its eastern border; in the module's terms, the system through which the armour-recapitalisation economy object reads the difference between a supplier that delivers within months and suppliers that deliver within a decade.
Stärken
Delivery speed — the first tanks arrived five months after signature — and a modern design with an autoloader, a three-man crew and a hydropneumatic suspension; the K2PL adds an active protection system and a counter-drone fit, and the domestic assembly line gives Poland a tank industry the Leopard purchases did not.
Einschränkungen
A fleet of two configurations from a supplier outside the European logistics and ammunition networks, which is why the K2PL standard and the Polish production line matter as much as the tank; the 64 K2PL are a 2028–2030 delivery, so the fleet fielded through the decade is the gap-filler configuration. No holdings or unit assignments are recorded.
Visuelle Erkennung
A low, angular turret with a long 120 mm L/55 gun, a wedge-shaped front, six road wheels and a prominent commander's panoramic sight on the right of the turret; the K2PL is expected to show added turret armour and launcher modules.
