Think here not so much deceive but still a tangled web.

Cyprus to the rescue the Ukraine Conflict? Cyprus?

"Cyprus ready to send Soviet-made tanks [T-80] to Ukraine in exchange of German Leopards from Greece"

 From news.yahoo.com | "The New Voice of Ukraine" | January 22, 2023.

"The Mediterranean country has about 80 of these tanks in service."

"According to the publication, in the spring of 2022, the United States asked the Cypriot government to provide Ukraine with TOR-M1 and S-300 anti-aircraft missile systems, as well as T-80U tanks, BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicles, and Mi-35 attack helicopters. At that time, Nicosia put forward one condition: the swift delivery of German Leopard 2 tanks in exchange for its T-80Us. To date, there has been no response from Berlin."

FIRST I am mildly surprised the Republic of Cyprus has what seems to be a robust military for a nation of such size. That number of T-80 Soviet tanks as in inventory approaches nearly a regimental sized force.

SECOND such a transfer of armor to Ukraine from Cyprus will require a lot of negotiation between the Cypriot / Greek / German. Transfer not without CONDITIONS.

WHAT IS TRANSFERRED FROM THE CYPRIOT [T-80] TO THE UKRAINIAN MUST BE REPLACED BY LEOPARD-2 TANKS CURRENTLY IN THE GREEK ARMY INVENTORY! 

"Cyprus wants the tanks to come from friendly Greece, which already has them in service"

[...[

"Greece, in turn, wants to receive [from Germany] newer Leopard 2's in exchange – to avoid depleting its army's capabilities amid worsening relations with Turkey."

OK! This all needs to carefully explained in the most excruciating detail possible so that those who possess merely a baccalaureate degree can understand with full comprehension.

T-80 tanks go from Cyprus to Ukraine. Leopard-2 tanks go from Greece to Cyprus. German Leopard-2 tank [the latest and most advanced version] go from Germany to Greece. Only a done deal then.

Everyone savvy savvy?
