U.S. Abrams Tanks Reach Ukraine
Handout photo dated August 19, 2019 shows an M1A1 Abrams tank, attached to India Company, Battalion Landing Team 3/5, 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), fires its main gun during a live-fire exercise in Camp Buehring, Kuwait. 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. U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
