The US authorities are studying the possibility of supplying the Ukrainian Armed Forces with an additional 30 Abrams and Abrams tanks, and the Ukrainian general is against their use in combined arms combat

Information has emerged that the US administration and officials directly from the US Department of Defense are studying options for sending an additional tank “package” to Ukraine - 30 more tanks “Abrams” to those 31, the delivery of which has already been approved by the Americans. Let us remind you that, according to the White House, the first ten Abrams tanks have already arrived in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, the American press cites a statement by a Ukrainian officer, who was called “high-ranking,” and his rank was also named – lieutenant general. According to him, American Abrams tanks need to be used “very specifically, in a single version as winter approaches, otherwise they will not last long on the battlefield.”

A high-ranking Ukrainian officer said that the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is not considering options for using American Abrams in combined arms combat.

This statement came against the backdrop of publications in the Western press that the West wants Kiev to use Abrams tanks in the conditions of that same combined arms battle “to break through the Russian defense line in the direction of Tokmak.” In one of today’s materials, Military Review reported that American experts “see” an option for using Abrams tanks in Ukraine, in which they would participate in the offensive together with other NATO tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. However, the Ukrainian command, apparently, rejects this option, unless it is targeted disinformation from an unnamed lieutenant general. In Ukraine itself, after the publication in the Western media, they believe that we are talking about the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, General Budanov, who previously said that tanks supplied by the West cannot be used en masse.

By the way, today the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that Abrams tanks will burn just like any other.

The wisest remark of Peskov himself definitely should have been included in this note! Where would we be without him?

Let them write “trophy for the museum” in Russian on a couple of tanks , we undertake not to burn these tanks, but to deliver them intact to museums

Exactly. I don’t understand at all what he does in the government and what he does He makes a press secretary, like Psaki makes a surgeon

additional tank “package” - 30 more Abrams tanks to those 31

I am more than sure that they will transfer even more. In fact, they are limited only by the capacity of their plant for “overhaul”. Abrams A1s are in storage in heaps, the cost of their capital for the United States is a pittance. I am sure that the decision has already been made and they are now repairing a new batch, and they will transfer 30-50 vehicles periodically. Like they will throw wood on a fire so that it does not go out.

The very truth is what you wrote. They dose out the help, giving a few drops, just enough to keep the conflict going. These 30 pieces will be destroyed, what then? They will give you another 30 pieces, they have an endless supply of this scrap, they will simply extend it and send the next batch. The conflict will continue, smoldering until both sides are bleeding. They can withstand this for a long time, unfortunately.

The news is not that American tanks will burn no worse than German and English ones, but that the United States is announcing the transfer of another battalion set of such tanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. As if giving a signal to other used sponsors - come on, you too, we need a second wave of tank deliveries from NATO.
Soon the autumn rains will come, there will be thaw, the active databases will stop, go into a sluggish phase, and the time will come to revive the combat effectiveness of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with new supplies. And NATO still has a lot of tanks. And everything else too.

The West wants Kyiv to use Abrams tanks in the conditions of that same combined arms battle “to break through the Russian defense line in the direction of Tokmak”

They are itching in one place, my dear. Although, why not try it, since such a booze has begun, cut the last cucumber. I am sure that our Warriors don’t care about Abram, Leoperd or Challenge, all tanks burn the same way.

[Mavrikiy]

Dmitry Peskov stated that Abrams tanks would burn just like any other.

Well, since we have no more authorities, we will refer to this miracle.

The West wants Kyiv to use Abrams tanks in the conditions of that same combined arms battle “to break through the Russian defense line in the direction of Tokmak.”

In my opinion, everything is simple. The Americans want to test their tanks in combat against a strong enemy without risking the lives of their personnel. But I don’t feel sorry for the Ukrainians; they are consumables.

[carpenter]

we are talking about the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, General Budanov,

And who would doubt it, as always, the great theoretician and commander of the Ukrovermacht Budanov is “driving the crap.” There is a plug in each barrel, with a stupid grin and an expression of importance.

[alystan]

They promise to provide 30 more tanks, which together with those previously promised will amount to 61 tanks.
They promise well. Then the fulfillment of promises may take an indecently long time...

[TermNachTer]

The West has already handed over about 900 tanks. What will another 30 change?

[bone1]

It’s funny - because of 30 tanks? - you still have monthly discussions on each one - arrange

[opuonmed]

USA 30 other countries 20-30-40 is not bad!

(C)
And I came across an article online that gives a different opinion of the US Secretary of Defense regarding the Abrams: The request of the head of the Pentagon to the Russian military, posted on the page of one of the social networks, was published by a number of leading Telegram channels. In his address, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin asks Russian military personnel not to hunt for Abrams tanks supplied by the United States to Ukraine. “A repetition of the situation with the German Leopards is unacceptable, when they were hunted, I saw these calls. Play by the rules,” the head of the American military department addressed the Russian military link: https://cont.ws/@AdskyiSatana/2640209

Where there are 31 tanks, there are 30 more... and 30 more. The Americans have thousands of them in storage. They’ll fix it and send it, in any case cheaper than disposing of it (observing all the norms of green and environmentalists).
The Americans will give just enough so that Ukraine does not collapse and the conflict continues.
The biggest danger for the United States from their point of view is if the myth about American weapons is dispelled, because they spend so many years and money on its PR, if Abrams faces the fate of the Leopards and Challengers (being destroyed or hit by Russian mines and drones).
