American Abrams tanks will add mobility, speed and firepower to the Defense Forces of Ukraine in the process of counteroffensive.
This opinion was expressed by the spokesman of the White House for national security, John Kirby, in an interview with Bloomberg.
At the same time, he noted that this technique requires significant costs for maintenance and spare parts.
– That’s why we spent a lot of time to make sure that the Ukrainians are sufficiently prepared to operate tanks, as well as maintain them, – explained Kirby.
In total, US President Joe Biden agreed to provide Ukraine with 31 Abrams tanks.
Yesterday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed the receipt of the first batch of heavy equipment.
