Ukraine can get M1 Abrams tanks from US stocks. This would accelerate their delivery compared to if they were produced.
This was stated by Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Political-Military Affairs Stanley Brown in an interview with Breaking Defense.
Initially, it was planned that the production of tanks would be ordered.
But almost a month after the announcement of the decision to send M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the United States is still deciding which version is the best, to take the vehicles from existing stocks or order them.
“They potentially could be a combination of built and out of stockpiles. We have Abrams in the inventory. We have different versions of Abrams, some older…, and I don’t know what specific ones that Ukraine will ultimately get,” Brown said.
Such an option could speed up the delivery of American tanks to Ukraine, he emphasized.
