Foreign press: US President is ready to transfer 10 Abrams tanks to Ukraine to influence Germany

US President Joe Biden is ready to transfer a certain amount of money to Ukraine tanks American-made Abrams in order to exert a corresponding influence on the German government and stimulate it to supply Kyiv with Leopard 2 tanks. Sky News Arabia reports this, referring to a certain responsible person in the US Department of Defense.

According to the channel's informant, Biden expressed his readiness to transfer 10 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. The White House believes that such a move will encourage German Chancellor Olaf Scholz to decide on the transfer of German-made Leopard 2 tanks to the Ukrainian army. Recall that Scholz had previously stated that Germany would supply tanks to Ukraine if the United States was the first to send tanks to the Kyiv regime Abrams.



The White House and the Pentagon believe that it is time for the German leadership to stop being “stubborn” and move on to delivering German tanks to Ukraine. Interestingly, in the case of Leopard tanks, it will obviously not be about ten units. Thus, the bulk of the tank deliveries will fall on Germany, while the US and the UK remain much less affected by these deliveries.

Earlier, information appeared in the Western press that Germany opposed the transfer of tanks for economic reasons. In Berlin, they fear that while the Armed Forces of Ukraine will “dispose of” the German Leopards, the products of the German military-industrial complex will safely begin to be replaced by American-made tanks on the European tank market. As a result, the US defense industry will be a clear winner, and a serious blow will be dealt to Germany's positions.

        Yes, preparing crews is not a problem. They are not taken from a beer stall. Those who have already fought on Soviet equipment are selected. Yes, there may be problems with service

          With its consumption, they will not go to the front, (leopards will be thrown there as less whimsical) they will stand guard in some little active areas or, in extreme cases, shoot from afar from closed positions. I don’t think that they will give 3 more fuel trucks for each tank, although who knows.

      Can give or not give depends probably on compromising evidence on him. The Germans correctly saw through the shtatovtsy. It is the economic question at stake. And the question of war is a smoke screen.

        Therefore, the Germans are resting. The US promised Europe military protection. Therefore, mattress covers should be the first, and the rest of NATO behind them. The British jumped off the EU bandwagon just in time. They knew that they would be driven to the slaughter! , Persuasion, promises, threats .... The United States will achieve its goal, their goal is a full-scale war in Europe and the sale of weapons, and not direct participation. Scholz and Macron seem to have begun to guess something. hi

          The British are also prepared for slaughter, you remember - in the summer of 2021, the Americans were very violent that there was racism and horror in the royal family, and then the British sent their aircraft carrier with wild screams to Taiwan in splendid isolation to show who is the most courageous here, and the Americans, on the contrary, took their AUG away . And racism disappeared somewhere immediately.

      Zelensky - "I agree, the commander remains in the bunker, the crew, along with the tank, go to the front!" He's a Jew, not a dill.

        Well, if Maidan was conceived as a Jewish project, then everything is going according to plan. The coming to power of the Jews (all presidents are Jews) is on the shoulders of Ukrainian nationalists. Then the disposal of Ukrainian nationalists (which Zelensky and Zaluzhny are successfully doing today). Pumping Ukraine with loans so that no one would think of having a territory with such a brand. Otherwise, you will have to pay a cosmic credit fee for this brand. Perhaps in the plans there is a partition plan into partition zones that will be controlled by the interested parties. The territories are safely cleared of the population, and who will prevent the colonists from assisting in the restoration?

    What kind of tanks NATO would not supply - it will be extremely unpleasant, another red line. The only plus is to look at what they are capable of, though at what cost, but what can we do (((

      Why? NATO has already delivered hundreds of Soviet-made tanks. Or do you think that the t-72 is worse than leo

        The point is not whether it is worse or better, they have not yet delivered tanks of their own production to Ukraine.

    Will our satellites really not see a train or a car convoy with tanks crossing the border of Poland and the square!? And during the crossing, hit with rockets, on each tank at Caliber. Does this require the political will of the tsar or the military necessity of Gerasimov?

    Well, the Abrams and Leopards can at least somehow repair the Poles, unlike the Leclercs, and this is already dragging only through 1 border. But materials and parts? Abrams are not produced - will they disassemble donors and look for "something suitable at the showdown"? It's easier with Leo, but after the "Turkish massacre" in Syria, the Germans are afraid for the presentability of their brand. In addition, they understand that selling on credit from themselves is a loss of money, they want the payment to come from the IMF and this organization already bears cumulative losses. And Rheinmetall only rubs the capitalist claws.

      The head of Rheinmetall has already spoken about his readiness to deliver 120+ tanks to Ukraine this year. Is he just a useful (to the Yankees, obviously) idiot or is he going to move to Raethon?

      Judging by the reports of today's media, yesterday, on the 25th, Bidon was exhausted for the transfer of 31 Abrams to the Ukrainians. So, it is necessary to demolish bridges already 3 times more. Better yet, all at once. ...together. bully

    It's like a poultice for the dead. Neither 50 tanks, nor 100, nor 150 or even 300 will help. The "Terminators", artillery and aviation will snap them like shells of walnuts. It seems that they are not fools sitting in NATO, they know that all this is useless, but they continue to hope for a miracle. There will be no miracle.
