US accelerates tank and missile system delivery to Ukraine.
TL;DR Summary
The United States plans to deliver M1A1 SA Abrams tanks to Ukraine as early as this fall, according to a Pentagon official. The move comes after the US pledged to supply Ukraine with 31 advanced M1A2 Abrams tanks in January. The new plan would give Ukraine the M1A1 SA Abrams tank variant, which can run on diesel fuel like the majority of the Ukrainian fleet, and speeds up delivery by about a year. The tanks will be sourced from government-owned "hulls" and refurbished specifically for Ukraine, with funds coming from the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
