American edition: Ukraine received the first M1 Abrams tanks “months earlier” than planned

The Ukrainian army received the first batch of American tanks Abrams, the equipment was delivered to Ukraine ahead of schedule. The New York Times reports this.

The American publication, citing two officials from the military department, writes that the United States delivered the first batch of promised Abrams tanks to Ukraine, and it was delivered “earlier” than planned. Now, as officials say, Kyiv has the opportunity to use tanks in a counteroffensive. It is not known how many tanks were transferred to Ukraine, but the rest will arrive within “several months.”

The first American Abrams tanks were delivered to Ukraine months ahead of schedule and could be used in the Ukrainian counteroffensive

- writes the edition.

I wonder how this is “months earlier” if back in August the Pentagon announced that the first batch of 10 tanks would arrive in Ukraine in mid-September. Later it was reported that Kyiv allegedly intended to receive all 31 tanks at once, so the delivery was postponed indefinitely.

Meanwhile, Ukraine itself is not yet aware of what American tanks have received, so the Ukrainian press simply refers to The New York Times. Neither the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine nor the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have yet confirmed the receipt of the equipment, and military-related publics, including the official media, are silent.

Joe Biden also stated that Kyiv would receive tanks “in the near future” during Zelensky’s visit to the United States, but he did not go into details. In general, we are waiting for official information from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine or Zelensky’s office, which of them will be the first to boast of receiving the so far “best in the world” M1 Abrams MBT.

Well, finally we will know the price of their weapons and equipment! The fighters have probably already argued about who will burn the first Abrams!

[Nexcom]

So the amers officially announced that they will no longer continue the line of these tanks. And a lot of them have accumulated. So everything will be salted with a shavar sauce.
IMHO the amers insured themselves this way, if anything.

[Witsapiens]

Where and when did they say this? On the contrary, they plan to modernize, it seems.

[Nexcom]

So they wrote. Abrams X. Type new generation is being developed. Without an African American loader, with a machine gun. The prototype has already been rolled out.

More than 200-300 Abrams will not come to Ukraine.

Firstly, after modernization, some Abrams will remain in the US Armed Forces for another 20 years. Some were promised, again after modernization, to the allies. And no less important, the United States does not need a victorious Ukraine, but a Ukraine that has lost part of its territory, humiliated by Russia and insulted for many generations. The winner is prone to generosity. The defeated person cherishes hatred in his chest.

Make no mistake.
It will not be so.
This was not the case with Westerners in the Soviet years, and after such a fratricidal war, 50 years is not enough...

But, most importantly, after the end of the Ukrainian war, the problems of the Russian Federation will not end.
No one will lift the sanctions.
We will get a huge problem (internal war) with the migrant population raising its Sharia and medieval head.
This will be cooler than any BLM performances in Portland and Philadelphia.
Next there will be the same bloody separation of Kazakhstan and possibly Belarus.
That is, until the end of the century, we have many stages in store.

Ukraine has been humiliated and insulted by Russia throughout its life. More or less insult, it doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. The United States does not need a peaceful, well-fed Ukraine in any case.

Well, we must congratulate our Ministry of Defense, even the most notorious pessimist did not expect such a protracted and careless conduct of hostilities. And our boys, ordinary soldiers, will again die for general orders, medals and stripes.

And our generals, just like ordinary soldiers, are dying on the front line. And your striped bastard abandons the “mobs” and is the first to tick to the hut (bunker) in the deep rear! Do not believe? Then watch the video of the interrogations of your soldiers who surrendered, and what they say about their “commanders” during the fire. There is not a single general, and the “vomiters” and platoon commanders at the first threat abandon their units and rush to the rear...faster than diarrhea!
And here you are still telling us lies, you TsIPSO bastard!!!

Well, if only complete with servants and crews. Ukrainians will not have enough time to master all this at the level of combat use. There is only one thing left - to order together with the crews, like Deutschers with Leopards.

Probably Bandera's tanks are very bad. It is necessary to install a camera on Geranium and use the GSM towers of Banderstat to control online and look for Abrams near Kuev and other targets behind enemy lines, I wonder if anyone reads the forums and comments from the Ministry of Defense and security services?

Everything regarding delays in the supply of certain weapons, etc., is disinformation and propaganda operations aimed at putting the Russians to sleep. I hope you are very distrustful and are doing everything necessary to be prepared for unpleasant surprises.

They were already burning in Iraq. First, they used the Chinese RPG-7 along the chassis so that it wouldn’t run away, and then they sneaked up with bottles of gasoline - they burned, VO!

One was burned from a DShK, another was sent to the scrap yard by Bradley from a 25 mm cannon, and only army accounting knows how many were killed by landmines. Official losses have still not been announced.

"American publication: Ukraine received the first M1 Abrams tanks “months earlier” than planned"
Who would doubt that.

Remember, with the beginning of the Northern Military District, there was an argument on TV about NATO humanitarian aid and the first deliveries of sniper rifles.

And the corrupt Shapiro/Solovyov and Skabeeva assured that the supplies would be limited to this.

Time has passed, it has become commonplace to discuss not just what Ukroreich will dare to supply (howitzers, Scalps, Highmars, tanks, F16, Grippen) but how many.

This is an indicator of what goals have been achieved.
They didn’t want to solve everything in 2015, but they hoped that they would come to their senses, and you’ll get it.

For eight, nine years, Ukroreich persistently and comprehensively prepared for war.

The Ukrovermacht soldiers were not given vague, fluffy goals; they were being prepared to defend Ukraine.
The West systematically prepared tens of thousands of Ukroreich soldiers for war with us.

And we relied on various kinds of scum, such as godfather (Medvedchuk), who willingly took yards of $ from the generous hands of Aslanbek Dudayev (nee Surkov).

What's next?

The American publication, citing two officials from the military department, writes that the United States delivered the first batch of promised Abrams tanks to Ukraine, and it was delivered “earlier” than planned.

Well, firstly, they never announced specific deadlines. Only, as usual, they promise that the rest will arrive within “several months,” but they don’t even say how many tanks have already been handed over...

It's almost like in the famous fairy tale about the donkey and the padishah...

I wonder how this is “months earlier” if back in August the Pentagon announced that the first batch of 10 tanks would arrive in Ukraine in mid-September.

And the US Administration began promising to send 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine back in January of this year, which President Biden himself repeatedly confirmed in his speeches.

Initially, the United States said that it would take more than a year to transfer Abrams tanks to Ukraine, but then the Pentagon decided to radically revise the delivery schedule in order to support the counter-offensive of the Ukrainian army, the New York Times wrote.

Then, in August, according to the head of the American Army procurement service, Doug Bush, the United States officially approved the shipment of the first batch of Abrams tanks to Ukraine. And it was indicated that they would enter service with the Armed Forces of Ukraine in September of this year.

They are ready. Now they must be delivered to Europe, and then to Ukraine, along with everything that comes with them: ammunition, spare parts, fuel equipment, repair tools. That is, these are not only tanks - this is a complete package.

Earlier, Politico, citing its sources, reported that we are talking about 6-8 tanks: in August they will be delivered to Germany for re-equipment, and then transferred to Ukraine. And it clarified that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive the M1A1 model instead of the more modern M1A2, the delivery of which would take much longer. In addition, the tanks will be stripped of their most sensitive technologies, including depleted uranium armor, before shipping.

[Vlatko_Radovic]

Don’t repeat the idiots’ sarcastic phrases and self-praise, these are not jokes, but a real threat to the lives of soldiers. Only a person who has never experienced the Horrors of War can treat this topic carelessly! And the ongoing strengthening of supplies of more and more enemy equipment, the most dangerous for us, emphasizes the main omission in the NWO - THE TIME FACTOR IS MISSED! And He works against us. If earlier, in 1917, Abrams managed to capture Russia, now the second series is Abrams. And, God forbid, doubt creeps in that everything happens for a reason!
