Australia is sending 49 aging Abrams battle tanks to Ukraine as part of a $245 million military aid package, bringing the total value of Australia's contributions to $1.5 billion.
The tanks, which are being replaced by newer models in Australia, will provide crucial support to Ukraine in its defense against Russia's invasion. This decision follows months of requests from Ukraine and signals Australia's commitment to supporting Ukraine's fight for democracy. Some of the tanks will require minor remediation before being delivered.
The move comes after a previous controversy involving the disposal of military helicopters, further emphasizing the importance of this donation.
