US to start training Ukrainian troops on Abrams tanks within weeks
MY SAY: That's great. Russia has about 3,000 active main battle tanks, and 11,000 more in reserve. What was that, "about three dozen" Abrams?

And they only have one tank Factory and Taiwan is waiting for their 105 Main battle tanks that they've paid for in advance and the production is split between more than two countries so Taiwan will probably not get their 105 Before Time was invaded by communist China in less than 2 years. Taiwan ordered these tanks back in 2019 and they probably only have about 10 by now.
We need to build a second tank Factory.

Taiwan to Receive First Two Abrams Tanks in June
Taiwan will receive the first two of 108 M1A2T Abrams tanks in June from the US as part of a $2.2 billion deal.

The powers that be always flex toward the most notable threat, scheduling be damned. Ukraine had a decent military, along with their brown shirt gestapo types. Taiwan is facing extinction in a conflict with China.
I'm thinking that we need to pivot now and crank up production. It might not matter anyway, but optics matter when dealing with China.

Refurbished to Ukranian Specifications means they took the High Tech Armor and all the Sensitive stuff off the Tanks. 31 Abrams and older generation Leopard's, without a logistical chain sounds like a brilliant Idea. Our tank commanders complain about the M1 being a maintenance nightmare. The thing we should be doing is converting the damn things back to a lower maintenance diesel, that also happens to be the fuel used by the rest of the Army.
BTW, what happened to all the HIMAR systems sent to Ukraine? How long will the Patriot Systems last?
