The first Abrams arrived in Ukraine several months earlier than initial estimates, sources said.

The first batch of American-made Abrams tanks arrived in Ukraine. This was reported by The New York Times, citing two military officials on Monday, September 25.

As the publication notes, the first Abrams arrived in Ukraine a few months earlier than initial estimates and “in time to use them in the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.”

“More M1 Abrams tanks will be sent in the coming months… Those sent to Ukraine on Saturday are the first of 31 the Biden administration has promised to send. Officials have not said how many have been delivered so far,” the report said.

We remind you that on September 22, US President Joe Biden said that the first Abrams tanks will arrive in Ukraine next week.

And the Pentagon reported that Ukraine will receive 120 mm depleted uranium ammunition for Abrams tanks.


The M1 Abrams is a US main battle tank that has been in mass production since 1980. It is in service with the US Army and Marine Corps, as well as the armed forces of Egypt, Australia, Morocco and several Middle Eastern states.

It launched several innovative solutions, including a computer-based fire control system. The caliber and make of the gun on the tank was 105 mm M68A3, and starting with the M1A1 there was a 120 mm M256. The gun type is rifled (for the M1A1 it is smoothbore). Crew – four people.
