A head-to-head look at two tanks - the US M1 Abrams and the Soviet-era T72 - that will see battle in Ukraine
Germany will send its own Leopard 2 tanks and allow European nations to donate their tanks to Ukraine – required under weapons export laws for the German-built tanks. The US has pledged to sendto Ukraine. The United Kingdom had earlier said it would send 14 Challenger 2 tanks.
A M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System takes part in a military exercise near Liepaja, Latvia on Sep 26, 2022. Though detractors scoff that Western tanks will be lacking in number and quality against the latest Russian tanks, such as the T-72B3 and T-90, it is actually widely accepted that the Leopards and Challengers are superior.
The timing will be significant. Main battle tanks will come in handy in spring as Ukraine is expected to resume its counteroffensive against invading Russian forces. The Leopards and Challengers are expected to reach the battlefield in time for spring. Also, the advantages of these tanks will need well-trained crews to be fully realised. There are valid concerns that the West’s belated decision to send them means that Ukrainian crews will not be fully trained on them before being sent into action.TURNING THE TIDE?
