Ukraine is in Need of at Least 300 Tanks: Who, What, Why?
Ukrainian forces have been saying for some time now, that they are in need of at least 300 tanks to make “a difference” in the war. While 300 tanks is an amount on a “national level,” Ukraine’s Western allies have still pledged as large a portion of the requested equipment as feasible. It has been confirmed that the United States will deliver 41 M1 Abrams, the United Kingdom will deliver 14 Challenger Twos, Germany will deliver 14 Leopard Twos, Poland will deliver 14 Leopard Twos, and Canada will deliver 4 Leopard Twos. Ukrainian officials have made it clear that instead of utilizing these supplied tanks to stall further anticipated Russian assaults, they intend to utilize these tanks to go on the attack, power through Russian lines, and to take back Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory.
