US expedites delivery of military equipment to Ukraine

TL;DR Summary
The US is accelerating the delivery of refurbished M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, with the aim of getting them to the war zone in eight to 10 months. The original plan was to send newer M1A2 Abrams, which could have taken a year or two to build and ship. The decision was made to send the older M1A1 version, which can be taken from Army stocks and could be there before the end of the year. The move is part of a broader political maneuver that opened the door for Germany to announce it would send its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine and allow Poland and other allies to do the same.
