Not seen many of those lately. Glad they are still finding some use for these tanks.
It’s really good to see that they are paying special attention to covering the Abrams with explosive reactive armor, this can save the tank from a drone attack that usually carries shaped charge warheads
They should put a bulldozer blade on the beast like the yanks did in Iraq and fill the trench in.

Beautifull. Becoming the beast it was supposed to be.
Send them home with their tails between their ~~legs~~ leg.
Watching what is happening with armour in Ukraine makes me wonder if the Challenger 3 switching to the Rheinmetall smoothbore is a mistake. Sure, it gives ammo parity with NATO but how many tank on tank engagements are there compared to tank vs infantry engagements where a superior HE and HESH round comes in handy.
FPV attack drones and regular ol’ surveillance drones directing artillery on to armoured vehicles have accounted for most of the heavy armour kills I’ve seen on both sides.
The Challenger 2 staying with a rifled gun might have accidentally been way ahead of its time.
MAXXPRO’s, Bradleys and Abrams, OH MY!
What an insanely exposed trench line
Beautiful tbh, era on an Abrams is a cool blend of military tech.
Sad to see these rolling around solo and not in the pack they usually operate
