National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby on Wednesday discussed the recent decision by the United States to provide 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine.

Among the topics Kirby talked about during a press conference were certain issues Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky‘s military forces may experience with the tanks, including the potentially large problem of fueling the battle vehicles…

Matthew Hoh, a former U.S. Marine Corps captain and State Department officer, told Newsweek that the “Abrams—with its firepower, with its speed, with its armor—is a ‘king of the battlefield.'”

That king requires a lot of logistical work beyond fuel, though, he said.

“They weigh 70 tons. There’s only a certain amount—and certain types—of equipment out there that can transport these things,” Hoh said, adding Russian tanks weigh about 25 to 30 tons less than the Abrams.
