A few Abrams tanks will be sent to Germany in August for refurbishment and once the process is complete the first batch will be shipped to Ukraine in September.
Official, who didn’t address tank timelines but instead spoke more broadly about equipping and sustaining Ukraine for the long haul, said the US is “working with our European allies to establish heavy maintenance repair facilities, especially for battle damage” to the Abrams tanks and other heavy armour that has been donated to Ukraine.
“At the same time, we’re assuring that they’re getting all of the appropriate training, not only for repair but spares,” the official said.
