The first tranche of a fleet of Aussie tanks, worth some $245m, have been delivered to Ukraine to help bolster the war-torn nation in its war against Russia.

Australia is providing 49 M1A1 Abrams tanks – valued at $245m – to Ukraine to help bolster its war against Russia’s illegal invasion.

The first tranche of the retired tanks are now in the possession of the Armed Forces of Ukraine after they were shipped from the Port of Geelong.

Australia first purchased the fleet of 59 Abrams tanks – which were never deployed into a combat zone – in 2007.

The Australian Army has since replaced the fleet with newer M1A2 tanks.
