The United States will send 31 Abrams tanks to Germany at the end of May to train Ukrainian crews. It will take about 10 weeks to train 250 people, writes AP.
Recall that Washington, as part of military assistance, transfers Abrams tanks to Kiev, to Britain – Challenger 2 tanks, and to Germany – Leopard tanks. Leopard tanks will be delivered to Ukraine and a number of European countries that joined the “tank coalition” after Berlin’s decision to start deliveries and re-export permits for these vehicles.
Earlier it became known that Poland ordered 250 new and 116 modernized Abrams tanks from the United States, which will replace the Soviet tanks transferred from Warsaw to Ukraine.
Speaking on Military Acceptance, a researcher from the National Military History Museum, Felix Oganesyan, spoke about the high fuel consumption and maintenance costs of Abrams tanks. He noted that the repair of these vehicles takes a long time compared to Russian tanks.
