To Help Ukraine, The Administration Needs To Get Abrams Tanks To Poland Faster (From RealClearDefense)

The transfer of weapons, ammunition, and other supplies from the U.S. and NATO countries to Ukraine has been the lifeline that allowed Kyiv to hold off Moscow’s assault. The U.S. alone has provided to date some $4 billion in assistance. This has included many weapons that have proven particularly effective: Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, Javelin anti-tank weapons, and drones. Poland has sent some T-72 tanks to Ukraine. Warsaw has hundreds of additional Soviet-era tanks that it could send to Ukraine, providing that it had an assured supply of Western equipment to replace them. Poland recently signed a contract to acquire 250 U.S. Abrams main battle tanks. The Biden Administration would be wise to accelerate the transfer of the tanks Poland has purchased. Once this transfer has been completed, Washington should consider offering Poland additional Abrams tanks if Warsaw transfers more of its inventory of Russian-designed tanks to Ukraine. I have written more about this here.
