Australia Sends First Batch of Retired M1A1 Abrams to Ukraine (thedefensepost.com)

Australia answered the solicitation eight months later, with the planned package incorporating 49 of the armed forces’ M1A1s.

The donation will not affect the Oceanian country’s national defense capabilities, as the tanks bound for Ukraine were already planned to be replaced by the newer M1A2 Abrams.

Probably too late with the contracts already signed and tanks delivered. Likely y'all will go to leopards or something else when its time to replace the m1a2.
