    Race against time' to get tanks to Ukraine

    Race against time' to get tanks to Ukraine before Europe engulfed in war with Russia

    Time is ticking for troops in Ukraine after several countries in the West agreed to send tanks to help in the country's efforts against Putin's army, and an expert says there's "no time to lose"

    The third-generation German-made tanks are used by countries such as Poland, which is now sending some of its stock. Spain also said it will provide Leopard 2s, as well as Finland and the Netherlands.

    It will take many months for delivery and even more to get them where they're needrd (the front).
    4 totally different tanks with the Abrams needing jet fuel. Nothing is interchangeable, meaning parts
    between them, maybe even amm, and training will be different for each tank. I'd guess it's going to
    be a logistics nightmare.
