Ukraine M1A1 Abrams tanks. Australian version

[Soldier30]

Ukraine's 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skala" displayed the US-made M1A1 Abrams tanks they are using. Forty-nine decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks were delivered to Ukraine from Australia. Previously, 31 M1A1 SA Abrams tanks were also delivered from the US, and they were used by the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade "Magura." As The New York Times reported in March 2025, Ukraine had 11 tanks left from the American shipment; other sources say five tanks remain. The M1A1 Abrams tanks from the American shipment have now been withdrawn from the front lines. Tanks from the Australian shipment are already in use; their use was recently demonstrated in the Donbas. In the Ukrainian version, the M1A1 Abrams tanks have been fitted with additional blocks of the Soviet-era Kontakt-1 dynamic armor. A folding mesh grill has also been installed on the roof of the M1A1 Abrams to protect against drones.
