WARSAW (Reuters) – Poland aims to become the service centre for U.S.-made Abrams tanks in Europe, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Wednesday during a visit to the United States.<\/p>\n

“I want a service centre for Abrams tanks for the whole of Europe, for maintaining their battle readiness, to be located in Poland. This is possible, I am in talks regarding this…,” Morawiecki told a press conference in Anniston, Alabama broadcast by Polish public television.<\/p>\n

“We are also striving for the production of depleted uranium ammunition cores for the Abrams to be located in Poland.”<\/p>\n

Poland, a close ally of the United States within NATO, has ordered 250 state-of-the-art Abrams battle tanks in addition to 116 modernised ones.<\/p>\n

“…I have confirmation that by June at the latest 14 Abrams tanks will be delivered to Poland…”, he said, adding that these would replace Soviet-era tanks his country had donated to Ukraine to help fight off Russia’s invasion.<\/p>\n
