🇦🇺 Australia will send 49 retired M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a $245M military aid package, boosting Ukraine's fight against Russia. This follows the arrival of newer M1A2 tanks in Australia. The tanks, welcomed by Ukraine’s ambassador, will enhance firepower and mobility. Some vehicles may require repairs or be used for parts.

@noelreports Most of the military commentary I've read suggests that it's not the right weapon for this war.
@pieist @noelreports Abrams can be destroyed by drones, but so can any other tank without an active protection system. A tank that can be destroyed is still way better than no tank.
