Newsweek: M1 Abrams tanks could be a big problem for the Armed Forces



Edition Newsweek reported that for Ukraine, American M1 Abrams tanks could become a big problem.

According to military experts, these combat vehicles have a number of features that the Ukrainian military will have to take into account. In particular, Abrams are equipped with gas turbine engines that "greedily absorb" fuel. To provide tanks will require a huge supply chain.

“Currently in Ukraine there are problems with fuel, even if we are talking about conventional diesel. For example, in July, I saw long lines of cars and empty gas stations,” said retired US Army Major John Spencer.

According to US Marine Corps Captain Matthew Hoch, significant time will be required to train Ukrainian personnel who will operate the M1 Abrams tanks.
