Over 98% of the combat vehicles promised to Ukraine have been delivered, according to a statement released by NATO on April 28, 2023.

Army Recognition’s editors predict that Ukraine will receive 808 main battle tanks.
As of today, April 28, 2023, we estimate that a total of 808 main battle tanks have been given by NATO countries to the Ukrainian Army, some of which have already arrived.
