Since Polish Borsuk IFVs have moved on to the stage of serial production, it is worth considering their advantages and whether they would be of interest for supply to Ukraine

"The Borsuk is capable of operating in water, allowing it to cross obstacles such as lakes and rivers, and even conduct amphibious landing operations. No additional training is required for this, and movement is provided by two water jets with rotating nozzles.
"On the one hand, this makes the vehicle more attractive to countries with specific needs, such as those with extensive river networks or island territories. On the other hand, this limits the vehicle's weight and, consequently, any additional upgrades, as a combat weight of 28 tons is close to the 30-ton maximum for amphibious capability.
"Reduced weight can also be an advantage for mobility, as it simplifies logistics and allows access to more locations. For instance, this is particularly beneficial in mountainous regions, where equipment mobility is often limited.
"However, the ability to overcome water obstacles in continental Europe, where Ukraine is located, is not so important, especially given the experience of the russian-Ukrainian war. Establishing additional protection may be far more important."

One comment I have is that the last time I checked Poland was in continental Europe and given that Poland designed, commissioned and built these machines for their own use I am inclined to believe that they weighed the advantages of additional armour and decided there cwere advantages to staying on the lighter side.

Poland is also looking at buying some used US Army M1126 Strykers, 250 for 1 USD.
Poland moves to take 250 used U.S. Stryker armored vehicles for a symbolic dollar, plugging fleet gaps and reinforcing NATO’s eastern flank.
