Australia has completed the delivery of M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, concluding a logistical process that began in October.

The final batch, consisting of 12 vehicles, arrived in Europe after a 55-day sea voyage and was transported to Poland, where it underwent inspections before final transfer to Ukrainian territory.

With this delivery, the total number of armored vehicles transferred reaches 49 units, all previously used by the Australian Army between 2007 and 2024. The tanks are part of a $245 million military aid package and strengthen Ukraine’s armored capabilities amid the ongoing conflict.

In addition to the Abrams, Australia is considering other forms of military support. The government is evaluating the possible deployment of Tiger attack helicopters, currently being retired, and is also considering joint investments with New Zealand to purchase U.S.-made weaponry for Kyiv.
