We want to give our M1s to Ukraine? I would have sworn we’ve only had them for a few years.
Good. That’s not an insignificant number…
Awesome – finally a bit of good news from Australian government. It would of made sense to keep them in reserve for Australia, but giving them to Ukraine is definitely a solid thing to do.
Are these export version or same as US spec with special armor? Because otheriwise this will be unlikely approved
Ukraine already has a supply and maintenance on the ones sent by US, why not send more or even for parts. I know the maintenance on these is heavy, but I think they still might be able to use them. They have nice heavy armour.
