One of the African client countries of the Czech defense company Excalibur Army agreed to give T-72 tanks transferred to the Czech Republic for repairs as assistance to Ukraine. Consequently, the plant in the Czech Sternberk is modernizing 120 tanks for Ukraine, and not 90, as previously stated. This was reported by the Czech edition Novinky. cz.

Representatives of the Excalibur Army did not specify which and how many tanks it decided to donate for Ukraine..

Probably Morocco.. After all, recently the French edition of Le Journal de l'Afrique reported that, on the recommendation of the United States, it was Morocco that decided to provide Ukraine with spare parts for T-72 tanks..

It should be noted that earlier at the enterprise they said that some of the old tanks that they restore for Ukraine are in such a bad condition that one can be made from the spare parts of several tanks..

However, the Excalibur Army has reached a good pace of recovery - every four days one restored and modernized tank leaves their workshops, and another arrives at the factory in line for restoration..

The plant has already been able to modernize and deliver to Ukraine five tanks out of the previously declared 90 and plans to transfer a total of 18 by the end of 2022. Other tanks from the main package and an additional 30 tanks from this African country will be ready next year.
