U.S. Abrams Tanks Reach Ukraine
Handout photo dated June 8, 2018 shows U.S. Marines assigned to Tank Platoon, Fox Company, Battalion Landing Team, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, engage targets with M1A1 Abrams tanks during live-fire training as part of exercise Baltic Operations (BALTOPS) 2018 at Ustka, Poland. 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. Marine Corps photo by Staff Sgt. Dengrier M.
