Portal Explorer 19 forty-five Maya Karlin said that as part of aid to Ukraine, the United States sent specially created tanks “for the third world war with Russia.”
“In the late 1950s, there were rumors that the USSR was developing an advanced tank capable of carrying a high-velocity rifled gun. The US has begun work on its XM60 prototype to keep up with the new enemy T-54/T-55 medium tanks.
The Observer emphasizes that the M60 tanks, which now have more operating experience than their replacement Abrams, are included in the March aid package for Kiev, but states that these tanks will be “unarmed versions of the M60”.
“Like armored bridge builders, these tanks are designed to cross bridges over narrow terrain and water barriers in just three minutes,” he added.
Earlier, a senior Pentagon official said that the US Department of Defense will start teaching Ukrainian military use M1A1 Abrams in battle tanks.
