This focus on “old” tanks given from #Australia to
#Ukraine (49 M1A1 Abrams) is just making me angry.

Now Swedish news agencies are pushing that Australian is giving “old” tanks. See pic 1.

Age on equipment have never been an issue before. The Swedish donated #Stridsvagn122 is OLDER than the Australian #M1A1Abrams. The Swedish tank was put into service around 1996 with newest delivered in 2002 (pic 2 - Wiki). The Australian tanks were put into service in 2007 (pic 3 - Wiki).

Sweden intends to join the international "tank coalition" and transfer 10 Stridsvagn 122 tanks to Ukraine. This is a Swedish version of the German Leopard 2A5 https://mil.in.ua/en/news/sweden-will-transfer-10-leopard-2-tanks-to-ukraine-der-spiegel/ #Ukraine #UkraineRussiaWar #Sweden #Stridsvagn122 #Tank #Aid
