Australia is considering sending decommissioned M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, in collaboration with the U.S., according to The Sydney Morning Herald. Ukraine has expressed interest in acquiring the 59 tanks, valued at $550M, which were never used in combat. Australia’s former army chief Peter Leahy supports the idea, questioning why they haven’t been offered to Ukraine yet. Ukraine’s ambassador to Australia confirmed they would gladly receive and use the tanks if provided directly or through the U.S.
