        It isn’t and servicing the tanks in Poland wouldn’t even be an issue. The US does not want to tap into strategic reserves and drop serious money on the conflict. Tanks burning in the steppes cannot be used to buy influence around the world and deter China. Gas burnt in turbines cannot be used to boost the economy.

        This.

        If you do not run the JP logistics chain the M1 is not a good choice.

        Extending the line to the border is not a logistical challenge. It is just the point where the entire thing gets really expensive. It is the point where the US would need to tap into the national reserve to fuel the war rather than the economy. And uncle Joe doesn’t like that idea.

            You dumb Black person it runs on almost any flammable liquid, that is why the turbine was chosen. The issue with sending the Abrams is the fuel burn rate, Ukraine does not have the logistical capacity to sustain the rate at which the Abrams Burns fuel. The US can damn near outrun our own logistical chains as seen in OIF.

        I posted about the downsides of Abrams for Ukraine, but it needs to be said that there are advantages that the USA enjoys in exchange for burning money:
        1. The turbine engine is terrible for fuel consumption, but if you're the USA and you need to fight wars all around the world but never at home, being able to burn literally anything as fuel is a huge benefit. Germanys only have diesel? Cool. Some African shithole only uses some weird leaded fuel? Awesome. Only have jet fuel? Equally good. The simplicity is awesome if you don't care about money buy you do care about having access to fuel to use the things to fight.
        2. Turbines have high torque at low speed so they can easily creep a big vehicle along and do a lot of start and stops which is good for a tank. It also speeds up very fast which is also a benefit for combat.
        3.Turbines are also very small compared to other engines of equal power so it offers more room in the tank for the same horsepower. This is important because the Abrams is already a big, heavy, tank compared to a Russian tank. The engine also it to be more heavily armoured without losing speed OR interior space.

    It gets 0.6 miles per GALLON, almost exactly 4 litres of fuel for every kilometer. You lose multiple gallons of fuel just starting it. Ukraine is the second biggest country in Europe. The distances they have to travel and refuel them on a battlefield are huge. There is no trains close enough to the front to enable rapid redeployment and no air superiority to ensure they can be easily resupplied. If America has to send Abrams, they will also have to send dozens of fuel trucks and thousands upon untold thousands of litres of fuel for fuel depots that Ukraine will have to build and hide from the Russians. That doesn't even cover maintenance, which is apparently a lot of extra work too. The USA is focused on sending Ukraine arms that are:

    1. Easy to maintain and supply. You need to keep logistics burden low because Ukraine is poor and needs a lot of aide to build capacity.
    2. Cheap, so that each aide package is effective on the battlefield. There is also no point in sending 1,000 artillery pieces if you can't also supply 1M shells for them too.
    3. Effective, by picking weapons that will have an outsized impact on fighting compared to alternatives.
    4. Share as many commonalities as possible with other NATO offerings and allied supplied weapons.

    The Abrams are none of that. They have a huge logistics burden. They are expensive, so they are never going to be a good bet from a cost-effective POV. No one else is sending Abrams, so it would just add to the number of systems Ukraine has to maintain. There are alternatives from other NATO countries that are better fits and are able to be supplied as an alternative. It would be like giving a 120K Porsche to a guy who lives in a trailer when he really just needs a Honda Civic to drive to work instead. He's have no way to pay for it, no way to repair it, and the benefits would be completely wasted on him.

    Europe can likely only send 200-300 leopards.
    Abrams is the only realistic long term solution if this war drags on, because the US has 3000 in storage and 2500 in active service.
    If the US donated the same percentage of their active tank force as Poland, Ukraine's armor would be completely re-supplied to a high standard.

    IMO 200 leopards now and 100 Abrams now would be a good solution, with any future NATO MBT deliveries being mostly re-activated Abrams.

      Wrong. There are 2000 Leopard 2 tanks in service throughout Europe. That's currently on active duty, not including what's been mothballed/stored is under maintenance, etc.

      If Germany gives the word to go, there could be 500 Leopards in Ukraine before the one-year anniversary of Putin's Folly on 24 Feb. There could be another 200-300 (or more) by april 1st.

      Trained crews and other logistics are the bottleneck ... after the general hand-wringing and moronation is suffocated in its bed.

    The more I read about the abrams, the more it feels like some wunderwaffen tier-shit which could have been designed by nazy germany.

    That's why wars exist, to make money. Probably more money in extending the war I guess.

    The US has more $$$ sent to Ukraine than every other country combined, and over three times the runner-up, especially when you factor in value-added stuff like 8 years of intel-sharing and training.

    IMO we should send Abrams with American volunteer crews and logistics and simply lie about doing so, though. Kinda like the RusBlack folk did in Korea and Vietnam.

    Whilw true, the abrams is reliant on american logistics. Giving it to other countries would be detrimental to their logistics because the U.S. is not directly Inside the country providing logistical support. High maintenance and high fuel consumption isn't advantageous for a country that does not have a proper logistical chain to maintain it.
    The germans are absolutely moronic if they think abrams would be good because of the maintenance and logistical burden that the tank has. The leopard is good because every country nearby has leopards and can spare parts or repair hubs. People tend to forget that the Abrams is reliant on american logistics to work properly.

        it's shit for ukrainians who don't have the logistics or fuel to support as many abrams as they can other tanks, hence why europeans are sending their tanks as they are more suited to a poor country like ukraine

        it's intelligent decision making, but you are only here to seethe about the US so you'll ignore that part

        Its shit for a country that doesn't have a proper structure to maintain the tank. No nearby country uses the abrams and its just better to use the leopards because of accessibility and ease of maintenance. If an Abrams gets badly damaged, it will have to be sent back to the U.S. along with the U.S. will have to travel across the ocean to provide them sufficient parts and maintenance for the vehicles. It will also take a while to set up people to check on the abrams for problems on the battlefield. Its a good tank, but without proper logistics and maintenance, it will not do good. The leopard is the same, but nearby countries already use the leopards and can provide support and more training compared to the abrams where no European country operates them.

          But the Germans won't send or allow Leopards to be sent unless USA sends Abrams. Knowing that USA won't. So they don't have to.

      Turbines are actually more efficient than Ice engines above 80% load, the issue being is that very little time is spent above 80% load which is why turbines are more suited to applications like baseline load generators for grids and hospitals than vehicles.

    they can send a small number of units and have them build up over time to protect the Ukrainian capital. this would free up the tanks around kyiv for the front lines well keeping the heavy maintance required Abrams close to the needed supply and refuel stations. protect the capital and north border from russian counter attack, free up other lower cost tanks for the front line. plus more good PR for the Ukrainian people seeing American uber tanks in the streets of their capital

    I mean, that's true. Each new type of tank requires full new maintenance chain, and Ukraine already had few of them just for soviet tanks. Sending both leos and abramses is just schlong saying "uh, yeah, we won't let you fly the plane because you refused ride the train" like, yeah, Black person, I chose one type of transportation instead of other, the frick are you forcing me into both?

      read behind the lines.

      Germany is pointing out that Poland's insignificant number of promised MBTs is pointless and wants a bigger coalition.
      US is basically saying the same: it's pointless to join a coalition that only wants to supply a limited number of MBTs, maintenance alone will make it not worth it.

      No one wants to play Poland's games where in the end Germany and the US shoulder most of it -- not Poland.

        Well I guess that's it then, no Abrams, no Leopards. There's nothing left except challengers and leclerc. Frenchies aren't going to their shit and there aren't enough challengers to make a difference.
