U.S. military prepare Abrams tanks for unloading at a railway station in Lithuania. File photoMOSCOW, Aug 14American military expert Daniel Gur in an article for 19fortyfive called the idea of the Polish army to buy a thousand South Korean K2 tanks strange and warned of problems due to the incompatibility of new equipment with the American one. «The use of vehicles from one manufacturing country gives great advantages to both Poland and the alliance. It is extremely strange that Warsaw signed an agreement with South Korea on a massive arms deal,» the author noted.
The ex-CIA officer told how the United States is hypocritically using UkraineIn his opinion, now the Polish military will have to establish another supply chain, as well as develop methods for interacting with K2 with other combat systems. Earlier, Polish National Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak announced the conclusion of an agreement with South Korea on delivery of a thousand K2 tanks, more than 600 K9 howitzers and three squadrons of FA-50 fighters. This technique should replace the samples delivered as aid to Kyiv.Global Times: The United States framed the main ally because of UkraineAfter the transfer of several hundred T-72 tanks to Ukraine, Poland announced a lack of armored vehicles. The authorities decided to urgently purchase 116 used American tanks, the first of which have already arrived in the country. Warsaw also purchased another 250 new Abrams tanks, they will arrive before 2026. Against the background of the Russian special operation to liberate Donbass, Western countries continue to pump weapons to Ukraine. Thus, Washington recently announced the allocation of a military aid package worth about a billion dollars, which includes artillery ammunition, a thousand Javelin anti-tank systems, armored medical vehicles, explosives and medicines. Moscow, in turn, has repeatedly stated that arms supplies only prolong the conflict , and transport with weapons becomes a legitimate target for the Russian Aerospace Forces.
