During the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the US has provided Ukraine with considerable economic and military material assistance. At the same time, President Joe Biden has announced that the US will send 31 state-of-the-art Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine to help Ukrainian troops push back the Russian army. Russia has been continuously invading Ukraine for almost a year.

Abrams battle tank will increase the capacity of Ukraine

President Biden’s announcement came after talks on Wednesday with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on aid to Ukraine. Joe Biden said that today, I am announcing that the United States will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, which would be equivalent to a Ukrainian battalion. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recommended the move because it would enhance Ukraine’s ability to defend its territory and achieve its strategic objectives.

Abrams tank most capable in the world

Joe Biden said that the Abrams tanks are the most capable tanks in the world, adding that they are also extremely complex to operate and maintain. The US will also provide training programs for Ukraine on the maintenance and operation of these tanks, as well as eight M88 recovery vehicles to go with the Abrams tanks.

Ukrainian soldiers will be trained

We are also providing Ukraine with the necessary parts and equipment to effectively maintain these tanks on the battlefield, he said. We will start training Ukrainian troops on these issues of stability, logistics and maintenance as soon as possible. Biden said that the delivery of these tanks will take time as well as that Washington will ensure that Ukraine is ready to defend the Abrams tanks.

Biden thanked the German Chancellor

Joe Biden further said that the Ukrainian military is working to defend the territory it occupies and is preparing for additional retaliatory strikes. President Biden thanked German Chancellor Scholz for providing the German Leopard 2 tank to Ukraine. I want to thank the Chancellor for her leadership and her unwavering commitment to our collective efforts to support Ukraine.
