Pentagon lists advantages of Abrams tanks for Ukrainian army
The US Defence Department believes that Abrams tanks, the first batch of which has already arrived in Ukraine, can serve as a "powerful deterrent" on the battlefield.
There is no doubt that Ukraine has high hopes about what the Abrams will be able to contribute to counteroffensive and we have previously looked in detail at what exactly the M1 can bring to the battlefield in Ukraine, The War Zone reports, citing the statement of the US defence ministry.
Simply put, the Abrams is superior to the mainly Soviet-era tanks that constitute the larger part of the Ukrainian Armed Forces fleet, with much better night-fighting potential, and superior levels of crew protection, to name just two advantages., it said.
The Pentagon added that the delivery of the US tanks demonstrates the United States' "tangible commitment to the defence and stability" of Ukraine.
