Tanks for Ukraine: The Armed Forces will face difficulties using Leopard, Challenger and Abrams, the media

Moreover, Leopard 2 tanks that will send different countries in Europe have their small differences and cannot be ignored. For example, the Spanish Leopard A4 may have a different fire control system or radio system than the Finnish model. "Ukrainians will operate several different types of equipment, and they will have to face the need to maintain the necessary spare parts," the Butterworth said. According to him, Ukraine is now relying on Soviet combat tanks T-72.

In the long run, the use of several types of tanks can create major logistics problems. Also, a senior researcher at the London International Institute for Strategic Studies Franz-Stefan Gadi said that no weapon can completely change the "Game Rules" on the battlefield. According to his owls, the influence of Western tanks will be limited.

The expert is convinced that it will be more dependent on the degree of preparation of the Ukrainian military and the integration of Western weapons into the Armed Forces units at the forefront. The anonymous US official told reporters that although the Ukrainian forces have demonstrated a significant ability to maintain and maintain American battlefields on the battlefield, the operation of M1A2 Abrams tanks requires serious training, including training that will take place outside Ukraine.

"We are sure that we will be able to provide adequate support and maintenance in a few months," he said. Earlier, Politico journalists have already wrote that the Armed Forces will receive Abrams of the new version, but without a secret armor with a depleted Uranus. Abrams cannot be exported with a classified armor. The updated M1A2 has a system of information that allows you to track the location of friendly equipment, find enemy positions and accept artillery requests.
