U.S. Abrams Tanks Reach Ukraine
Handout photo dated August 3, 2019 shows a M1A2 Abrams tank, assigned to 1st Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, engages an enemy target during a platoon live-fire exercise as part of Agile Spirit 19 at Orpholo Training Area, Georgia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the arrival of the tanks on the Telegram messaging app: "Good news from Minister (of Defense Rustem) Umerov. Abrams are already in Ukraine and are being prepared to reinforce our brigades." He did not specify the number of tanks that have been delivered. They are the first of 31 M1 Abrams tanks promised by the Biden administration, and come months ahead of initial estimates. They join tanks already deployed by NATO partners, including German-made Leopards and Britain's Challengers, which arrived last spring. Photo by Staff Sgt. True Thao/U.S. Army via ABACAPRESS.COM
