The Pentagon Expediting Weapons Delivery

The Pentagon is on track to send Abrams tanks and Patriot Missile Defense systems to Ukraine faster than initially thought. The new plan is to send refurbished M1A1 Abrams to Ukraine and deliver them by Fall 2023 instead of the initial plan which would have included building new Abrams and shipping them. Thus, the new tanks would not have been delivered until sometime in the following year.
