I’d like to see a Ukraine battalion of US style armored Calvary equipped with Abrams go up against Russian armored units.

Plenty of examples of that since 1991 albeit against inferior troops and hand me down Russian armor and it’s never turned out to well for those troops.

Still, the big bad scary Russian bear appears to be more of a teddy bear.

All this time and money spent preparing for war and they show up with poor tactics, poor training, poor battlefield communication systems, and advanced warning and defense systems for their Navy. 60+ days in and they don’t even have air superiority over a country that has less than a 1/10th of their air capabilities.

Abrams won’t go too far in Eastern Europe due to poor terrain and enormous weight. And it blow up just as good as any other tank when hit from above.

The Russians would NEVER SEE the Abrams as they take out every single one of them.

If we paraded tanks into battle like they do, we would lose them all too.
