The United States draws conclusions from its mistakes in the battles on the Ukrainian front line, while the Ukrainian military is revealing US secrets.
Ukrainian servicemen shared new video, showing the US-made M1A1-SA Abrams tanks equipped with the Abrams Reactive Armor Tiles (ARAT) of the first generation. The additional protection system is seen on the sides of the hull of the tank supplied to Ukrainian forces. If the protective blocks then appear on the sides and roof of the tower, the ARAT system will allow to increase the protection of the Abrams tanks from the strikes of drones, RPGs and ATGMs.
ARAT consists of 62 tiles which weigh a total of almost two tons. They are designed to explode away from the tank when impacted by rocket propelled grenades. The force of the tiles’ explosions push away the force of the grenades’ explosions which reduces the damage to the tank’s treads. ARAT adds protection in a way that reportedly does not impede the tank’s speed.
There are two versions of the system, ARAT-1 and ARAT-2. Unlike its Soviet counterparts, the ARAT-1 is ineffective against kinetic munitions. The ARAT-2 is equipped in addition to the ARAT-1 to solve this problem, but the Ukrainian military probably still has not received these advanced systems.
The US military is learning during the ongoing battles in Ukraine. For example, the Bradley fighting vehicles were initially delivered to Ukraine without any additional protection and as a result, they immediately began to suffer losses from the attacks of small FPV drones and ATGMs. The Americans hastily began to equip their vehicles with dynamic protection, which increased their survivability.
Today, they are reinforcing their Abrams tanks, which are yet to enter the battles. LINK, LINK. The warmongers in Washington are acting very carefully to preserve the reputation of their tanks.
looking forward to seeing the shlomo named “tank$” burning just as brightly as the already crispy kraut “leopard” tanks. onward to the sputtering dumpster fire and the rump ukrapper grill fest with their idiot meat puppets.
hopefully call nr. 204 is captured in good order and will end up at the moscow exposition lol
lol still waiting for the leo 2 at moscow exposition
like all western wunderwaffen, they all burn really well. if one thing this war has shown the world, is how much nato gear is overrated. made for trainng exercises only
russian shit care is far superior indeed, breaking world records in blown off tank turrets over and over
keep trying pathetic clown, guess what’s obvious from u…?
it’s actually weaker than a leo. a coffin on wheels
t90 is its name
“arat consists of 62 tiles which weigh a total of almost two tons.” and abrams is very heavy even without it. good luck with the ukrainian mud.
it already looks rusty and not made for adventures in the east lmao
been thinking the same thing lol…. and it wont protect them against the advanced weapons the russians are having…. weapons nato is yeaaaaaaaaaars away from :p
sure dawarish, thats why flatheads are near odessa, conquered charkow, kiew, kerson and dont have to beg north shit korea for ammo, slava russia 🇷🇺🖕
if you have to patch yur tank as an afterthought gud luck, lipstick on a pig…
says a dumb flathead scum soldestka horde subhuman. ur idiots 🇷🇺 even put the same on cars/trucks 🤦🤦🏻
the abrams was designed to impress taxpayers and kill poorly armed civilians an actual battlefield is a little to much for them right now there may be a pink version soon for gay soldiers.
jens holms is waiting for so long time the pink version of the abrams
the video says “we are moving to a new level.” lol, ukronazis will find this “new level” not much different from the previous one, maybe even worse actually.
surely the truck with xtc pills has arrived, no other explanation possible
the m-1 is so invincible that is why they aren’t sent to the front because they would drive through the russian lines all the way to moscow!
in typical murican tradition, they should have created a super abrams, 40% larger, five times tonnage, crew of ten gringos.
begs the question, wat wud a ultra abrams look like? does it arrive with free burgers and fries?
can it be seen from mars? idiocracy anyone?
probably like something from warhammer 40k
modern super tanks for the eastern front ……. to break through the rigid front. history does not repeat itself, it is deliberately repeated by creatures (politicians have nothing human about them) who rule with lies and violence. putin, biden and co should find their own planet where they can argue 24/7. the world doesn’t need politicians, politicians are toxic creatures who shouldn’t rule. nobody is allowed to rule…
now why would your pathetic sunday propaganda include “putin, biden and co”…?
nice try shekelsstein…
humiliated by russian superiority i wallow in self defeated germland—many germs must beg taco from amerikunty
now proven russian tank superior in battle conditions dumb germ anglo tanks only effective in copenhagen homosexual festival
the reason why the goons at the pentagoon don’t want to see their little abrams light up like a 4th of july fireworks display is because the houthis destroyed tons of them in yemen and saudi arabia 8-9 years ago with weapons, that are nowhere near as sophisticated as what is in russia’s arsenal. today.
the interior looks very spartan. where is the automation?
nothing automated cept dumper facilities. press button and your dump is poured on the secondary gunners melon. don n wry, they used to it…murica design… murica!!!!
ťažké nemotorné hovädo je ešte o niečo ťažšie? hm … tak to je ozaj zaujímavé riešenie. ľahšie sa do neho teraz rusi trafia. tank m1 abrams stráca tým na pohyblivosti. nie že by bol pred tým dáky atlét, ale teraz bude ozaj ako starček o palici. ha, ha, ha … ozaj kedy ich už konečne uvidíme v akcii? svetu mier!!!
west needs to focus on killing people that cant defend themselves, as most of its wars over recent decades have been. killing some houthis will make them feel like men again. ukraine war is exposing ls the western group think
in other words, as john candy used to say,(blowed up really good).
the tanks will not go for action. it is just for ukrainian troops to hug while there are sleep at night.🤗
