Few countries have offered Ukraine even half the extent of military support that Poland has provided. Polish military aid delivered to Ukraine has so far encompassed well over 470 armoured fighting vehicles (AFVs), including over 300 tanks and some 110 pieces of self-propelled guns and multiple rocket launchers, amongst a host of other weapon types. Poland
also serves the important role of central transit hub for arms donations to Ukraine, and the majority of Western military aid enters through Poland. Even though Poland does not disclose details of most of its arms deliveries, a
great number of armament types have meanwhile been spotted or reported on by authorities in Ukraine.
The
following list attempts to keep track of military equipment
delivered or pledged to Ukraine by Poland shortly prior and during the 2022 Russian invasion of
Ukraine. The entries below are sorted by armament category (with a flag
denoting the country of origin). Due to the confidential nature of
some arms deliveries they can serve only as a lower bound to the total
volume of weaponry delivered. This list includes both equipment donations by the Polish government as well as equipment crowdfunded by Polish citizens. This list is constantly updated as further military support is declared or uncovered.
* Purchases by the Ukrainian government from Polish defence companies.
** Crowdfunded by the Polish public.
