Washington. Reversing the claim that the ‘Abram’ tank is unsuitable in the war with Russia, the US has said that it will send 31 M-1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Senior officials gave this information on Wednesday. Some time ago, the Biden administration had argued that operating and maintaining this tank could be very difficult for the Ukrainian forces. This decision of America has come to the fore after Germany agreed to send 14 ‘Leopard 2A6’ tanks.

Germany had said that it would not send the Leopard tank until the US takes a decision regarding providing its Abrams tank to the Ukrainian forces. The senior US official said on the condition of anonymity that after Germany’s stand, there was a ‘good diplomatic dialogue’ between the two sides. An official announcement regarding sending the tank is expected soon. Let us inform you that even after 11 months of the war, Ukraine has still not been able to withdraw its four states from Russia.

In such a situation, to push Russia back, Ukraine has demanded a large number of state-of-the-art tanks (Advance Tanks) from its allies. President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Tuesday that Kyiv needed allies to decide whether to defend the country against Russia in view of the increasing aggression of the Russian military, according to a report by the news agency Reuters. To strengthen will deliver modern tanks.

Ukraine is also demanding the tank because it believes that Russia is making new plans to attack with aggression, signs of which are already visible in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Zelensky pointed out that Russian forces had already made advances at Bakhmut and Vuhledar and elsewhere. Fighting around the eastern city of Bakhmut has intensified in recent weeks, with Russia claiming several successes in its campaign there.

Leopard 2A6 tanks
The Leopard 2A6 is a main battle tank (MBT) developed by the German company Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW). It is an upgrade of the earlier Leopard 2 tanks and is considered one of the most advanced and capable tanks in the world.
Some key features of the Leopard 2A6 include:
  • Improved armor: The 2A6 has improved composite armor and add-on armor modules, providing better protection against anti-tank weapons.

  • Improved mobility: The 2A6 has a more powerful engine and a new suspension system, which improves its mobility and cross-country performance.
  • Increased firepower: The 2A6 is armed with a 120mm smoothbore gun, which is capable of firing a variety of ammunition types, including armor-piercing, high-explosive, and anti-personnel rounds.
The Leopard 2A6 has been adopted by several countries as their main battle tank, including Germany, Spain, Turkey, Sweden, and Poland.
