Australia has delivered M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine as part of a A$245 million ($160 million) military aid package, reinforcing its support for Ukraine amid its ongoing conflict with Russia. The transfer is part of Canberra’s broader A$1.5 billion ($980 million) commitment in defence and humanitarian aid since the conflict began in February 2022.
Defence Minister Richard Marles confirmed that Ukraine has already received most of the 49 tanks, with the remainder expected in the coming months. “The M1A1 Abrams tanks will make a significant contribution to Ukraine’s ongoing fight against Russia’s illegal and immoral invasion,” Marles stated.
Australia, a major non-NATO contributor to Ukraine, has also provided ammunition and other defence equipment. In addition to military aid, Canberra has imposed sanctions on around 1,000 Russian individuals and entities and banned exports of alumina and aluminium ores, including bauxite, to Russia.
