The U.S. will send 31 Abrams tanks to Germany next month and begin training Ukrainian forces on how to operate them
M1 Abrams tanks, combined with other U.S.-provided battlefield vehicles, could reshape how Ukraine fights, defense officials said Friday, in a step that adds a small number of the formidable weapons to Ukraine’s arsenal as it prepares for a spring offensive.
The U.S. began expediting its plans for the tanks earlier this spring when the Pentagon said it would send refurbished M1A1 Abrams tanks already in U.S. inventory instead of newer M1A2 Abrams tanks, moving up their expected delivery to the fall. Now, the tanks designed for training are expected to begin arriving in the next few weeks.
