NATO is sending Ukraine “superupgraded” Soviet tanks designed during World War II that don’t even have reactive armor. The move comes as tensions continue to mount between the West and Russia over the conflict in Ukraine.
The tanks, which are being sent by the United States, are based on the T-34 design that was used by the Soviet Union during the war. They have been upgraded with new engines, armor, and guns, and are being touted as a " significant upgrade" by NATO officials.
The move is sure to anger Russia, which has been critical of NATO’s involvement in Ukraine. It also comes at a time when the West is considering sending more military aid to Ukraine, including lethal weapons.
