A fleet of decommissioned U.S.-made #Abrams tanks that Australia promised to Kyiv has not yet been delivered, in part due to resistance from Washington.
Poland delivered 100 million rounds of ammunition to Ukraine. Details on Germany and USA https://www.byteseu.com/940525/ #155MmMunitions #2S1Gvozdika #abrams #K2MainBattleTank #K9Howitzer #Poland #Ukraine #WarInUkraine

#Abrams quickly replied on social media:
“I’m proud of my work protecting civil rights & lowering energy costs for Georgians,” she said. “Someone has to deliver — because Trump is taking our hard-earned money to cut Elon Musk’s taxes.”

Stacey Abrahams, a lawyer, wasn’t even paid for her advisory counsel role in the related organization.
Nevertheless, #Trump called her out by name in his speech last night—
‘“… and we know she was involved… a woman named Stacey Abrams,” he said. “Have you ever heard of her?”’
(My take: It is fascinating that he called #Abrams out by name. More power to her.)

Serving in an advisory role in a related founding organization, Stacey #Abrams is not directly a part of Power Forward Communities, the group that received the grant through the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Clean Investment fund, which awarded grant money for “greenhouse gas-and air pollution-reducing projects" across the U.S.” as part of the $27 billion allotted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

The weird mention #Trump made of Stacey #Abrams last night in his speech to Congress has to do with billions of wasted $ the Environmental Protection Agency (through its Trump-appointed leader, Lee #Zeldin ) claims to have recently found. The current EPA has dedicated much government website space to discussing this supposed fraud from Biden’s EPA.
Now Trump’s #EPA is trying to rescind grant contracts it doesn’t like & claw back the money.

Nearly 2/3 of Abrams tanks supplied to Ukraine have been damaged or captured. The New York Times: Drones remained the biggest threat to heavy weapons.

#Abrams #A1M1, da salvatori a salvati
Abrams A1M1 di Washington e #Challenger2 di Londra sono stati distrutti dai missili anticarro #Kornet, dotati di doppia testata: prima sfonda il blindaggio e dopo esplode all'interno. Gli americani e i britannici hanno cambiato idea e, dopo le delusioni della #controffensiva del 2023, hanno chiesto a #Zelensky di rimandare i carri indietro.
#Ucraina, il cimitero dei carri armati. I flop di #Abrams e #Leopard, ma anche dei #T90 di Putin
"Per le forze armate occidentali e i produttori è una pessima pubblicità"

L'esercito ucraino sta portando nuovi rinforzi e anche carri armati occidentali (es. #Abrams, forniti dagli #Usa) nella regione russa di Kursk per evitare il peggio. Ci sono scontri molto sanguinosi per la contesa del territorio russo.
Elements of an elite Ukrainian unit armed with #US-made M1A1 #Abrams tanks and #Bradley infantry fighting vehicles are in combat inside #Russia’s #Kursk region, news and official reports said Tuesday.
#Ukraine’s 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade over the weekend used the American armored vehicles to conduct local counterattacks in a northeastern sector of a salient.
#Ukraine to receive aging #Abrams tanks in latest Australian military aid package.
More than a year after #Kyiv first expressed interest in the aging M1A1 fleet, and months after #Australia rejected a request to donate its grounded Taipan helicopters, the Albanese government has confirmed it will now gift 49 of the American-made tanks.

With #Whitmer out, and #AOC, #Abrams, and #Porter all very unlikely choices, which woman would be a strong #VP choice for #Harris?
I don't think any man would be as overwhelmingly energizing as a woman for the position.
A two woman ticket would be mind blowing, in the very best way, if it's the "right" woman, not a neoliberal or conservative.

Ukrainian crews working on #US-supplied #Abrams tanks have told CNN of a series of the weaknesses and flaws with the armored vehicles, calling into doubt their utility on the war’s ever-changing frontlines.
“Its armor is not sufficient for this moment,” said one crew member, callsign Joker. “It doesn’t protect the crew. For real, today this is the war of drones. So now, when the tank rolls out, they always try to hit them.”

Another article about how drone warfare maybe doesn't make the MBT fully obsolete but changes are necessary also with NATO armies to protect them better from small drone strikes.
