"The timeframe for delivery of these tanks is currently under discussion," Austin said during a joint news conference with Polish Minister of National Defense Mariusz Blaszczak in Warsaw, Poland.


"This is the most modern version of the Abrams, and will provide Poland with a highly advanced tank capability. It will also strengthen our interoperability with the Polish armed forces, boosting the credibility of our combined deterrence efforts and those of other NATO allies."
