Ukraine will get modern tanks in the West, but the timing is no solution. At the Pentagon, the issue of supplying tanks to the Ukrainian army is considered, but the decisions still pending. Reported by the New York Times.
The American edition, citing a senior official statement of the Ministry of defense claims that the Pentagon is considering options for the delivery of the tanks produced in the West, but in the long run, as one of the elements of a complete transition towards the Western weapons and freedom from Soviet weapons. So tanks Ukraine will receive, only when, as yet unknown. In Washington plan to cooperate with the regime Zelensky for many years, so considering everything in perspective.
- said the representative of the Pentagon.
While Americans focus on the saturation of the APU tanks of Soviet production, as the Ukrainian military does not need to retrain, and the delivery can be carried out quickly. Supply Western tanks will take a long time, including the training of crews, and this is unacceptable, against the background of military conflict.
Meanwhile, Kiev has continued to demand that their Western sponsors transfer tanks is of Western origin. Especially goes Germany, which once mentioned about the possibility to put the German "Leopard". However, while the representatives of Kiev managed to knock out the Germans only to the Soviet T-55 tanks, last upgrade in Slovenia in the early 90-ies of the last century.
