Forbes previously wrote that the long transfer time for Abrams tanks is due precisely to the fact that General Dynamics Land Systems, which manufactures these vehicles, must dismantle uranium from armor and replace it with tungsten.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that if Abrams tanks arrive in Ukraine in August, it will be too late.
