Ukraine has received most Abrams tanks from Australia: when to expect full delivery

Australia has handed over most of its Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a $160 million military aid package.

This was announced on July 19 by the government of the country, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports citing Reuters.

Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said that Ukraine has already received most of the 49 tanks. The rest are expected to be delivered in the coming months.

“The M1A1 Abrams tanks will make a significant contribution to Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russia’s illegal invasion,” the minister said.

It is noted that the tanks were included in the package of military aid that was allocated to Ukraine to protect it from Russia.

As a reminder, Australia has been actively supporting Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion. The state has allocated more than $32 million in financial assistance to support Ukraine’s defense.
