Australia to send fleet of ageing Abrams tanks to Ukraine

economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Abrams tanks to Ukraine, bolstering its ground forces ahead of a difficult winter campaign, the defence department said Thursday.
The M1A1 Abrams tanks — weighing over 60 tonnes and equipped with heavy firepower — were due to be decommissioned starting next year.
Instead, they will be sent to help the war effort in Ukraine, a welcome boost on the back of a $425 million arms package recently unveiled by Washington.

«We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine in their fight against Russia's illegal invasion,» Australian defence industry minister Pat Conroy said in a statement announcing the gifting of the tanks.

Conroy will meet Ukrainian officials at NATO headquarters in Brussels later this week.
