U.S. stalls Abrams tanks, presses Greece for Patriot to Ukraine
- Australia pledged 59 retired M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in 2024, but the tanks remain idle on Australian soil as of early 2025.
- The delay results from U.S. Export controls requiring Washington's approval, complicated by President Trump's return and a broader freeze on military aid to Ukraine.
- This bottleneck exposes challenges in sustaining military aid during wartime as allies depend on U.S. Authorization for equipment originally sourced from American contractors.
- At 63 tons, the Abrams face doubts about battlefield suitability in Ukraine’s drone-dominated war, prompting questions about their practical utility despite Ukraine’s urgent need for armor.
- At the same time, the U.S. Is urging Greece to send one of its Patriot missile batteries to Ukraine, reflecting a strategic effort to sustain allied backing while conserving American military assets.
