United States, literally forcing Berlin to agree on sending to Ukraine tanks Leopard from the reserves of the Bundeswehr and other European countries themselves are in no hurry to give Kyiv the promised Abrams MBTs. Initially, it was reported that the Pentagon would provide thirty of its Abrams in the M1A2 modification at best by the end of the year.

However, after the meeting of the Contact Group on Ukraine in the Ramstein format, held on March 15, Washington nevertheless decided to slightly speed up the dispatch of heavy armored vehicles so desired by the Kyiv regime. True, to speed up the transfer process, as the American media reported the day before, the Pentagon will replace the promised M1A2 Abrams with older tanks in the M1A1 modification. According to American publications, the delivery of these armored vehicles was planned to be made within 8-10 months.

Now the States have decided to “accelerate” this issue even more. Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said at a briefing today that three dozen M1A1 Abrams will arrive in Ukraine by autumn.
