🎥 Russian troops have evacuated the first US-made M1 Abrams tank from the front line near Avdeyevka, Chief Press Officer of Russia’s Battlegroup Tsentr Alexander Savchuk told Sputnik.
According to him, soon everyone will be able to see the trophy at an exhibition of NATO equipment captured in the special military operation zone on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow.

The downgraded armor also explains why Russia is blowing up so many Ukrainian Abrahams tanks.
You should see all the russky stuff that America has on display. Tanks. Planes. That red October sub parked next to schooner’s landing in Maine…
Chobham armour ..................
They should put full size dummies of Biden, Sullivan and Kirby on the top of the tank manning the 50 cal.
Chubby armor...
From a year ago.....if this reporting is accurate at least SOMEBODY at the Pentagon was using their head for something besides a hat rack.

Thought this article was about Stacey Abrams. She is a tank, doncha know.
Remember when Michael Dukakis was running for POTUS and wanted to show how tough he was went for a ride in a tank with a goofy looking helmet on.
Put a full-size dummy of that idiot in the Abrams.
Vlad was of course correct, “ they will burn like the rest”….not good advertising for our arms export industry… a good thing.
Just for the record, they are named Abrams for Gen Creighton Abrams, Vietnam era armor commander. Nothing to do with Abraham..
She definitely has some bulked up armor on that tank.
Tanks are obsolete in modern warfare.
They are essentially steel tombs..................
BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars spent on war and warfare and alls we got was a burned out tank!
During WW II wasn’t Creighton Abrams also a tank commander under Patton ??
Tanks are most certainly NOT obsolete. Their “ protection “ systems are. We will see some types of “ anti drone” systems developed over time.
