US Abrams Tank “No.1 Target” For Russia On Battlefield, Ukraine Troops Say “Armour Insufficient”

America’s Abrams tanks, which Russian pundits have described as “empty tin cans”, are reportedly failing on the battlefield in Ukraine. Abrams tanks, once hailed as a game-changer in the Ukraine war, are under extensive scrutiny as Ukrainian soldiers reveal its weaknesses and flaws. Ukrainian crews working on the tanks told CNN that the US-made Abram M1 tanks are not as robust as touted. The Ukrainian tank crew also complained of electrical malfunctions due to internal condensation in rain and fog, However, experts say several key factors contribute to the struggles of the US-supplied Abrams tanks on the Ukrainian frontlines.

  1. It seems like what they really need are Tank Ditches, Larger Berms 10ft & Deep Plough the fields over a meter….
    Force Russia to Commit, Buys Defensive Time….
    All the videos point to smaller units and Drone Warfare.
    Those MULEs with sensor suites & chain guns and the Drone operators are not really much more then what we have witnessed.
    -> German Weasel…. small, easy to hide, easy to move with all of the drones, bigger is not better.

  2. hahahahaha… thats what american wants..more to be send… more debt to be sattle.. by ukrianians.. zelensky get tonne of commision on every weapon supplied..
    you think its free..???.. kiss my ass.. hahahahaha.. ..

  3. This is better news updates than the Western bs they keep feeding us. Making it sound like Ukraine is winning when everyone knows they are on the defence and have no hope of regaining the ground

  4. Please do not die Ukrainians. Ukraine is not self sufficient in arms. Do not push Ukrainians in death trap. European countries are eager to destroy both. Ukraine and Russia or eastern countries… are in danger zone. Africa, Asia, Russia rebuild and prepare to save…

  5. Oh dear …American hardware is not quite up to the mark …. But no worries, America is already refitting its own stockpile of Abrams to give it the dominance on the battlefield that is required. Yeh , Americans are fully able to troubleshoot and adapt to any evolving threats ….

  6. The Ukrainians are not using the MBT as it was intended. The Sabot round is for only tank on tank battles. You wouldn’t throw a dart at a house you would lobe several grenades that has blast and explosion as an effect. They have no idea how to fight the American equipment. Prior to this history speaks volumes about how effective American equipment has been a determining factor .

  7. If you think that the American tank is so awful maybe they should experience it use by native Americans soldiers trained on fighting the equipment. I guarantee you the Russian will have a different opinion of what they can do on the battlefield.

    Russia has first hand knowledge of how much better American equipment is from WWII. The land leased over 2k Sherman tanks to fight the Germans and won. They remember their victory.

  8. We at the US Army's armor officer basic course had a term for a tank operating by itself: "Target." To be successful, armor must operate as part of an integrated combined arms team. The Ukrainians lack the necessary supporting infantry, artillery, and tactical air assets.

  9. US didn't even gave them proper ammunition, they gave them completely useless to the core (in this conflict) APFSDS munition. So they can't even engage infantry and because of warfare's nature never sees a tank before M1s getting hunted by drones. The tank essentially completely harmless in Ukraine's warfare. It can't do anything to tanks, because it will never see one, it can't do anything to infantry because tank is armed with APFSDS (against tanks) and they can't do shit to building because again APFSDS and extremely short range. So that's why they called empty tin cans. Not because of armor or anything, but because it's practically useless vehicle. This is just anecdotal.

  10. what amazes me is you have all these tank experts and military specialists in the comments but yet none of them know ukraine isnt using the current us abrams variant with all the bells and whistles not including the support systems <<< very well known fact, tanks need support smh nvm lmao

  11. That house being struck 17 times by an Abrams tank is built very well. Westerners will not be happy to see such comments, they always think they are superior to everyone else LMFAO 🤣
