The US is considering supplying modern tanks to Ukraine, subject to appropriate training, repairs and maintaining qualifications.
Washington is considering supplying Ukraine with not only Soviet-designed tanks but also modern tanks, The New York Times reported, citing a US defence official.
“Tanks, along with other options, are no doubt on the agenda. The available tanks that can be delivered immediately, with minimal training for crews, are Soviet model tanks. But we are not opposed to other options as long as there is appropriate training, repairs and maintenance of qualifications,” the source told the publication.
According to The New York Times, the US military assistance to Ukraine also concerns the conversion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from Soviet-era weapons to modern weapons of NATO countries. According to the publication’s source, armoured vehicles are important for the Armed Forces and in the future its command “may want, or need, to switch to models compatible with NATO standards”.
