The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) began using Abrams tanks in the special operations zone because they were experiencing a shortage of shells for their artillery facilities and the facilities themselves were also lacking. About this topic in an interview with BUSINESS Online said military expert Andrey Klintsevich.
He stated that the United States should supply 31 Abrams to Ukraine. However, the expert believes that the American side is afraid to transfer such tanks to Kiev.
“You must understand that the Americans are very afraid of personnel with burning equipment in Ukrainian fields. <…> But the most important thing is to understand that the Americans are not actually producing new Abrams. Klintsevich said that everything that is currently provided to the troops is a kind of cannibalization and modernization of existing models.
