Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said they did not receive enough American Abrams tanks to play a significant role in the war. This was reported by Strana.ua.
Zelensky noted that there are many different types of tanks in Ukraine, including Abrams. However, the number of Abrams tanks is quite limited. The President expressed his hope for improved relations and increased supplies in the future, but at the moment he finds it difficult to say that these tanks play an important role on the battlefield due to their small number.
In January, the United States promised to transfer 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Zelensky said that these people were taken at the end of September, but did not specify their numbers. Initially, the United States assumed that the transfer would take longer and that the tanks would not reach the country until the end of the year.
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the supply of Abrams tanks to Ukraine, called them “serious weapons”, but noted that they, like other Western equipment. will be easily vulnerable. According to him, this situation will not change the balance of power on the battlefield.
There is no information yet that Abrams tanks were destroyed in the war zone by the Russian Ministry of Defense. However, the ministry had previously reported that other Western tanks such as the Leopard had been defeated by Ukraine. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also spoke about Ukraine’s significant losses in the counteroffensive, including the loss of tanks and armored vehicles of various classes.
