The first batch of American Abrams tanks arrived in Poland. This was announced on Monday, July 18, by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak in Twitter.
According to him, military equipment can help “deter the aggressor in an emergency.”
“The Abrams tanks, where Polish Army soldiers (AF of the Republic of Poland – ed.) Will be trained, are already in Poland. Poland is available. Poland will have a modern powerful force for deterring the aggressor in a emergency, ”Blaschak said.
The press service of the Polish Armed Forces reported that the contract for the purchase of 250 Abrams tanks with related equipment, as well as a training and logistics complex and ammunition for the Polish Armed Forces, was signed in April 5, 2022. Abrams will go to units located in the eastern part of Poland, in the eastern part of NATO. The deliveries are expected to be completed in 2026.
Recall that in April it was reported that Poland had provided 200 tanks to Ukraine. It is planned that in return Poland will accept the British Challenger 2. However, last week it was learned that Poland will replace the T-72 transferred to Ukraine by American Abrams tanks.
