Canada has made it official that they will send an initial batch of 4 Leopard 2A4 tanks to Ukraine, a smaller number similar to what Portugal is going to send.

Canada sending Ukraine 4 Leopard tanks in 'game changer' move with allies

National Defence Minister Anita Anand made the commitment on Thursday, ending the debate over whether Canada would ship over battle tanks from its military stockpile to Ukraine.

We're now getting a bigger picture two of what Ukraine's two new armored Battalions are going to look like...

Battalion #1
44x Leopard 2 MBTs
109x Bradley IFVs
50x Stryker APCs
20x AMX-10RC
50x HMMWVs
18x M109A6 Paladin howitzers

Battalion #2
44x Leopard 2 MBTs
50x CV90 IFVs
40x Marder IFVs
20x AMX-10RC
50x Stryker APCs
50x HMMWVs
12x Archer howitzers
6x AS90 howitzers

I expect another Battalion worth of armor will be announced in the near future. It will like feature the following...

14x Challenger 2
30x Leopard 2
100x Bradley IFV
50x Bastion APCs
50x HMMWVs
18x AS90 howitzers

No, I sincerely doubt they will.

I suspect they'll be sent with standard 120mm Sabot and HE rounds, but I could be wrong! it would be nice because they'll absolutely demolish Russian T-72s and T-80s with depleted uranium.

Indeed , Tungsten APFSDS-Ts and DU rounds would demolish russian tanks, IFVs and APCs , honestly i wait for the west to supply F-16s , it would take the UAF to another level

Wagner officially declared as an international criminal organization by the USA.
I think Europe will soon follow suit.

36x F-16s + 40x upgraded Mig-29s from Poland and Slovakia would be a really nice addition. The inventory of available Mig-29s would probably double from where it is now and the Ukrainians already know how to fly them. Meanwhile, the F-16's would bring weapons such as JDAMs and air launched AMRAAMs into the equation. Russia is highly unlikely to send their modern aircraft anywhere near Ukrainian air defenses in an attempt to counter Ukrainian aviation in any real way.

True , the F-16s would bring cutting edge tech , like the Paveway and the JDAM and the respectful Mark family, it would desintegrate russian ammo depots, C2 nodes , AFBs , weapon facilities and more , this alone should give Ukraine the upper hand in the War , unless Russia uses something a bit more "hot" , which will change the course of the war
