Inside the Canadian crash course training Ukrainians on Leopard tanks
The major says Ukrainian tenacity has surprised the Russians and the donated tanks "are causing panic."Capt. Brittany Shki-Gizzis of the Canadian Armed Forces peers into the hatch of a Leopard tank that has both Ukrainian and Canadian soldiers inside.
Canada's mission — dubbed Operation Unifier — continues to this day, but it has moved into neighbouring countries. Canadian soldiers from the Edmonton-based Lord Strathcona’s Horse, who routinely operate in Leopard tanks, were given little warning of their deployment to Poland. The need to train the Ukrainians came up suddenly, and the Canadians were sent as instructors.
The Leopards are crewed by four soldiers and have multi-layer composite armour, widely acknowledged to be better defended against attack.
