To your country's credit Poland is punching above its weight relative to the rest of the deadbeats but I wasn't talking about tanks. However, you've sent 240 T-72 Soviet era tanks to Ukraine and ~12 Leopard tanks.
I was talking basic equipment like: 155mm artillery shells. In that case, unfortunately, the facts are not on your side.
The majority of 155mm shells that are sent to Ukraine come from the US. The US has increased production of 155mm shells 6x this year alone. The same is true for body armor and small arms.
Europe cannot ramp production in almost any category.
