The other day, Canada's defence minister announced that Leopard 2A4 tanks destined for Ukraine had been sent to Poland. But it turns out Canada has something else useful for Ukraine.

Here's What We Know

According to Defence Minister Anita Anand, Canada has also deployed three simulators to help train Ukrainian tank crews and improve their skills.

In addition to the eight Leopard 2 tanks that we’ve delivered to Poland, Canada has deployed three Leopard gunnery simulators to help train Ukrainian tank crews on the operation and tactics of these tanks.

Anita Anand added that Canada will continue its comprehensive support to Ukraine.

Incidentally, Canada originally planned to send only 4 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, but later decided to double their number. As of today all 8 tanks have arrived in Poland.
