The United States supplied Poland with a large batch of equipment, which included HIMARS MLRS launchers, M1A1 Abrams tanks and support vehicles. This was announced by Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak.
A large batch of equipment arrived in Poland from the USA by sea. Unloading of a cargo ship is underway in the port of Svinoujscie. As Blashchak wrote in one of the banned social networks in Russia, eleven HIMARS MLRS were first raised during unloading, but there are significantly more of them, judging by his statement. But the head of the military department did not indicate how many tanks and technical support vehicles were betrayed by the Americans.

Recall that Poland is rearming its army by purchasing weapons from several countries at once, including the United States and South Korea. Under two contracts, the Poles purchased more than 500 HIMARS MLRS launchers in the United States, as well as 250 new Abrams M1A2 SEPv3 tanks. But due to the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine and the transfer of Soviet tanks to Kiev, Warsaw bought another 116 M1A1 Abrams tanks from the presence of the American army. That's exactly what Poland gets.
The tanks will be used by the 1st Warsaw Tank Brigade, which is part of the 18th Mechanized Division covering the eastern direction.
