Ukrainian tankers serving on two PT-91 Twardy tanks donated by Poland survived a massive attack carried out by the Russians using anti-tank grenade launchers and guided missiles. All this is due to the reactive armor, including the Polish ERAWA-2, and additional ERA armor cubes.
In the above recording published at the end of April, we see the moment of firing at ex-Polish tanks using various types of anti-tank weapon, including guided missiles of an unknown type (Konkurs?). The tanks were hit in various places, although most hits were on the sides of the hull and turret. In this case, the local modification used on the PT-91 Twardy was also important in the form of placing additional ERA cubes (Kontakt-1) in the middle of the hull side, which also contributed to the survival of the tank crews. One of the vehicles here has a destroyed frame and some modules, so it took at least one or two hits. The additional protection fulfilled its most important function, the PT-91 Twardy crews survived and evacuated, leaving the tanks in a condition suitable for renovation and return to service.
So far, Poland has provided Ukraine with 60 PT-91 tanks (although there are reports that the number is higher), which were equipped with the Ukrainian 22nd Separate Mechanized Brigade responsible for the defense of the Zaporizhia front.

Yesterday, an additional fuel tank (empty) of the Polish MiG-29 aircraft was mistakenly rejected on Polish territory.
Nothing happened to anyone. The statement from the press service of the Polish armed forces is interesting. It shows that the Polish Air Force has approximately 14 MiG-29 fighter aircraft, including single-seat MiG-29A/G (9.12A) and two-seat MiG-29UB/GT (9.51), currently operating only from the 22nd Tactical Air Base in Królewo Malborskie
(in December 2022 and January 2023, all MiG-29s were transferred from the 23rd Tactical Air Base in Mińsk Mazowiecki, due to the deployment of the newly ordered 12 FA-50 Fighting Eagle light combat aircraft there).
The message also clearly stated that 14 planes were handed over to fighting Ukraine.
