An interesting article about OIP, a private Belgian company that bought a load of surplus tanks from European governments as the vehicles were decommissioned, and now hopes they all see action in Ukraine. However, they are a private company so the intention is to sell them back at a profit, leading to accusations of war profiteering, juxtaposed against the cost it would take to bring the vehicles back into service.
