..."What you need to know about the Abrams tanks bound for Ukraine
Politics Jan 25, 2023 6:40 PM EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) — For months, U.S. officials balked at sending M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, insisting they were too complicated and too hard to maintain and repair.

On Wednesday, that abruptly changed. Ukraine’s desperate pleas for tanks were answered with a sweeping, trans-Atlantic yes.

The dramatic reversal was the culmination of intense international pressure and diplomatic arm-twisting that played out over the last week. And it resulted in in a quick succession of announcements: The U.S. said it will send 31 of the 70-ton Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine, and Germany announced it will send 14 Leopard 2 tanks and allow other countries to do the same.

A look at the massive battle weapon, why it is important to Ukraine’s war with Russia, and what drove the Biden administration’s tank turnabout."...

The top of the tank is the weakest part so that shell especially if it's designed to hover and look for a Target will take out the Abrams tank easily

Let's not forget that Taiwan is waiting for their share. That's why I'm so mad at President Biden and his stupid inflation reduction act because he could have Rewritten it to have 360 billion dollars help increase our production of a second or third tank Factory and increase our production of artillery shells instead of trying to bribe other countries by using components made in china. China keeps building coal-fired power plants to make these components that the by the administration wants to use to bribe other countries to use when and solar instead. President Biden and the science of stupid!
