Australia answered the solicitation eight months later, with the planned package incorporating 49 of the armed forces’ M1A1s.
The donation will not affect the Oceanian country’s national defense capabilities, as the tanks bound for Ukraine were already planned to be replaced by the newer M1A2 Abrams.
Noting that they would have been sent 8 months ago if the Americans hadn’t wiggled and wibbled about giving permission.
“Before the shipping process could begin, Australia had to wait for Washington’s approval to export the US-made tanks to a third country, which was granted despite American officials remaining privately frustrated about the donation.”
Biden may have been better than the current cult leader but I’m still deeply unimpressed with the restrictions on 3rd parties transferring kit to Ukraine
Indeed and befiore the Abraham we used Leopards, why aren’t we going back to Leopard’s, fuck Abraham’s ?
Probably too late with the contracts already signed and tanks delivered. Likely y’all will go to leopards or something else when its time to replace the m1a2.
Is buying US not a face eating leopard?
