TanksA US-made M1 Abrams tank (L) and a Russian-made T-72 (R) Getty ImagesThe US delivered 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in the fall of last year.
More surprisingly, Ukraine has received 45 tanks of Russian origin from the US, 14 more than the US's own Abrams.
These T-72B tanks are cheaper and less advanced than the US-made Abrams.
The Abrams were a major addition to Ukraine's arsenal of mostly aging Soviet armor and augmented previous deliveries of the German-made Leopard tanks and British Challengers.
Robert Greenway, a Hudson Institute expert who served in the Army with the Abrams, previously told Business Insider that the Abrams "can do other things, but it's built to kill tanks."
