Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said 31 M1 Abrams tanks promised to Ukraine will soon reach the battlefield, a development that officials in Kyiv have been eagerly anticipating for several months.
At the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein, Germany, Mr. Austin also urged dozens of allied defense ministers to produce more air defense and artillery ammunition that Ukraine’s forces desperately need on the battlefield. He said the United States would join other NATO members to train Ukraine’s pilots on F-16 fighter tactics.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt often referred to the U.S. as the “arsenal of democracy” because of the nation’s unsurpassed ability to produce weapons for allies in the early days of World War II. “Every inch of reclaimed territory only happens because of the bravery, the honor, and the incredible sacrifice made by the Ukrainian people in their military,” Gen. Milley said.
