American Abrams tanks will not take part in this UAF counteroffensive. Ukrainian crews have already gone to the exercises
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to a statement by Defense Minister Alexei Reznikov during a press conference.
He noted that Ukraine received modern weapons systems, especially in terms of the “armored fist”. We are talking about armored vehicles and tanks, in particular Leopard 2 and Challenger 2. According to Reznikov, the promised Leopard 1 tanks and American Abrams will be provided later.
“The Abrams tanks will not have time to take part in this counteroffensive, but our crews have already gone to training. But, in addition, we have a large number of armored vehicles of various types – armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles. These are Bradley, and Marder, and Stryker, and CV 90 there will be from Sweden. Preparatory courses are still being completed there,” the minister said.
Reznikov stressed that the equipment itself was prepared and partially delivered, but the Ukrainian military is completing exercises on some types of weapons.
Recall, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said that the partners provided Ukraine with 98% of the promised equipment. According to him, NATO countries armed more than nine brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukraine has already received French-made Caesar artillery mounts from Denmark.
