59 Abrams Tanks: Australia Weighs Sending Retired Fleet to Ukraine | Times Now World

Australia is considering sending its retired Abrams M1A1 tanks to Ukraine to aid in the country's fight against Russian aggression. The Australian government, in collaboration with the U.S., is working on a plan to transfer the 59 decommissioned tanks, which were purchased in 2004 for AU$550 million but have never seen combat. This potential transfer follows a formal request from Ukraine for Australia to join the U.S., U.K., Poland, and Germany in supplying tanks to bolster Ukraine's military defense.

The transfer of these tanks has been a topic of debate, with former Australian army chief Peter Leahy advocating for the transfer, stating that the tanks are "very competent" and should be sent to Ukraine. Defence Minister Richard Marles has softened his stance on the issue, exploring "a range of opportunities" with the Ukrainian government. The decision on whether to send the tanks remains uncertain, but it could provide vital military aid to Ukraine in its time of need.

Australia should not join uk nor USA in war. Let Zelensky fight his own wars

I believe that when those tanks arrive in Ukraine, the clown will once again waste them for his counteroffensive attacks, the clown show over and over again by a comedian president, who is also expired with unlawful legitimacy.
