PARIS (Reuters) - A total of 321 heavy tanks have been promised to Ukraine by several countries, Ukraine's ambassador to France said on BFM television on Friday.
"As of today, numerous countries have officially confirmed their agreement to deliver 321 heavy tanks to Ukraine," Vadym Omelchenko, Ukraine's ambassador to France, said in an interview with French TV station BFM.
"Delivery terms vary for each case and we need this help as soon as possible," he added.
Omelchenko did not provide a breakdown of the number of tanks per country. On Thursday, several Western nations led by Germany and the United States said they would send tanks to Ukraine.

Who was it that said a few dozen M1's would not change anything,
ReplyDelete431 is a lot bigger than a few dozen
Wnus usual nonsense, the flood gates have opened, ld bet the mighty Leclerc will also soon be added
Deletethe number they are using is 321. if you add in 31 M1s that is 352.
ReplyDeleteit does not matter. The yaaahoo in the article is making things look better that they are so he is basically lying. How so...well how soon will those tanks arrive...how many will arrive at once or is it going to be small amounts at a time?
The war will go into 2025 so it does matter. The polish 60 are reworked heavily upgraded T72 , Bradley with tows and marders in place march , so yeah Leo crews training very soon and they've proven more than capable so you will find everything but the M1 in place in 2 months
DeleteYes, the reaction from the Russian trolls has changed very much from dismissing the 14 Leopard 2 tanks from Germany to the actual numbers now being sent which is anywhere from 130 to 300+. There will still likely be only around 100 by the time of early summer. But now that the Ukrainians know they will be getting new tanks in the comin year, they will feel more able to use their existing tank inventory in offensives, knowing they will be receiving replacements and more.
ReplyDeleteChris
How did you get that Germany will send up to 300+ leopards 2 a6's from this article?
DeleteEntirely correct that the point of "promising" these tanks years in the future is to convince the Ukrainians to throw what they've still got into the grinder.
ReplyDeleteSome tanks will need to be refurbished. Crews trained to operate them. Mechanical engineers & technicians to keep them running need to be trained. Logistics to support them in the field. Tank depots, spare parts, repair facilities safe from attack are required. Infantry, APCs, artillery & Combat engineer, signal & many other units will be needed to support them in the field plus tank transporters, trucks, supply units. They will need to train together in excercises if its to be done properly, it won't happen over night. This will take time to work. By that time the war may well be over. Is this a CYA excercise by NATO in the event Ukraine loses in 2023?
ReplyDeleteGrab your weapons, citizens!
ReplyDeleteForm your battalions!
Let us march!
Skoda and fazman are at it again.
ReplyDeleteFazzy how in the world did you come up with the year 2025 as to when the war will end? Consulting your magic 8 ball is not working for you.
The main thought here is that you got about 1 year, but my money is on Mr nobody who thinks this spring will be the end of the main war and then a guerrilla war will be started. Not much use for tanks there. So all these promised weapons they will probably be too late
Are you sure you not working a desk at Alice Springs?
So you think the U.S is planning to send the M1 to Ukraine when Kiev is defeated and under Russian occupation ? They are thinking the long game ..what you smoking bro.please share
DeleteGlad to see the Ru����ian trolls have moved on from debating numbers to debating delivery dates m training times and logistics. Next they will throw the kitchen sink.
ReplyDeleteOh contraire. The numbers are not being argued you think. We believe. Like always, that the ukies rah raha put to much faith in what the liars in the US and nato say. And rightly so, I , mean they lie to us all the time. So the numbers , if you look at them are to small unless you deliver a.l at once.
ReplyDeleteTherapy is a valid point
But you did not answer the question. How does fazzy'S MAGIC 8 BALL KNOW WHEN the war will end?
Because rather than read Archie comments and read and pay attention to actual..military analysts .
DeleteRussianTroll: "Oh contraire. The numbers are not being argued"
ReplyDeleteWNU Editor: Sending a few dozen Abrams tanks is not going to change the dynamics of the war, a fact that even Ukraine President Zelensky himself said publicly in a nightly address last week.
On a side note. President Biden was confused at today's tank announcement. He forgot his Defense Secretary's name, and he mislabeled Ukraine as the aggressor .... Biden mislabels Ukraine as aggressor while announcing tanks to Kyiv (NYPost).

ReplyDeleteDear Ukie RAH RAH.
and your point is?
Is something wrong Here? Yes Biden is an idiot. Completely concur.
And yes take it in context of the all reporting.......These tanks are going to be delivered drip drop. BUT..........YES IT IS GOOD TO HAVE TANKs .
But
Example: you are in a Tiger faced by 20 shermans, sorry you are not going to Make it. Yes 321 tanks is a big number but not when it is sent only 10-40 at a time and over a 1 to 2 year period.
Can you understand this????
Firstest with the mostest does have validity in this case.
If the west really wanted to help the Ukies, They would immediately strip a large portion of the German and American army of their tanks...
(not like they are using then right now)
....and send them right away to the Ukraine....what does that tell you?
Ukraine is not a priority.
B Poster,
ReplyDeleteYou are just as stupid as ever. I really think that the FSB should just break down and buy some persona software for trolling, because you are utterly worthless.

ReplyDeleteDear ukie Rah Rah...your lack of logical thought is showing.
you never answered the question......
Can you understand this????
Well? Can you?
