MOSCOW, Oct 19. The American M1 Abrams tanks supplied to Kiev will be a problem for the Ukrainian Armed Forces and targets for the Russian military, writes Newsweek.
“
“These tanks are not enough to significantly influence the situation in Ukraine,” the article says.
Journalists pointed out that new American armored vehicles are being delivered to the Ukrainian Armed Forces too late to help them in combat, noting that the Ukrainians will have to create new supply chains for ammunition, spare parts and fuel for tanks.
The article considered that the use of Abrams tanks would not be a “turning point” for Ukraine, but would only bring even more problems.
“
"All this creates not only problems for the supply chain , but also makes these tanks attractive targets for Russian artillery and drones,” the observers concluded.
Previously, the United States promised to supply 31 Abrams tanks, the first batch of ten vehicles arrived in Ukraine in September.
