Australian supplied Abrams tanks to Ukraine just to be destroyed by Russia!

The first batch of 49 decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks promised to Ukraine by Australia is now in the hands of the Kiev military, the Australian Ministry of Defense announced on July 18. The Australian Channel reported on May 19 that the first batch of tanks was being delivered by the Australian Department of Defense, showing the heavy vehicles being loaded onto a commercial ship at the port of Geelong, then via Polish rail lines to arrive in western Ukraine soon. Australia supplied a total of 49 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a $160 million aid package promised nine months from the date of announcement to delivery, with the remainder due to be delivered in the coming months. At the same time, the Australian government is demilitarizing Australian strategic tank stockpile, all remaining of its best and most obsolete older versions. Either these tanks are gathering dust, or they, like the US, are risking their own national security for the sake of Europe's most corrupt country.

On the contrary, there was never anything special about the Abrams that made it more effective in the hapless Ukraine. Experts know this, of course; 87% of the American Abrams tanks sent to Ukraine have been destroyed by Russia. It's only a matter of time, the old tanks are cannon fodder so Australia can order new ones. A battalion of such tanks would last five minutes in the field, and all existing Ukrainian Abrams tanks would be quickly destroyed by Russian smart weapons. All of them can be destroyed by Russian drones, anti-tank mines, artillery, and missile launchers in about a month, then Russian soldiers would receive $130,000 for every destruction or capture of the West's admired Abrams tanks. In June, another intact American-supplied Abrams tank was captured in the Sumy region. They were moved off alongside German panzers, to spend the rest of their lives in a museum outside Moscow, like so many others.
