    Australia successfully got 49 Abrams tanks to Ukraine more than the USA gave. These tanks already went into service in counter attacks at the Pokrovak battle front. 1 tank damaged but not destroyed from multiple FPV hits with the crew alive and well.

      Australia fought the Trump administration in order to deliver those tanks. The US kept trying to block it and say as an excuse they were too outdated to be of any use. I hope the American people won’t vote in another Russian asset as President in the future, but they probably will if he’s a billionaire with a sales pitch.

      Well done Oz for the donation and Poland for updating the tanks for modern use. [This article](https://australiatimes.com/u-s-officials-express-concerns-over-australia-s-donation-of-retired-tanks-to-ukraine) implies that the US tried to slow down delivery (hardly surprising given that Krasnov stands not to gain $billions if Ukraine actually win). I’m not sure about the “*more than the USA gave*” in the title as I have not yet found how many the US has given.

      Edit: [This other article](https://www.19fortyfive.com/2025/12/ukraine-has-111-new-m1a1-abrams-tanks-and-america-isnt-happy-at-all/) says that the US only gave 31 and has had an active policy of discouraging others from donating any.
