The Russian military has destroyed at least two more American-made M1A1 SA Abrams main battle tanks of Kiev forces while advancing to the northwest of the city of Avdeevka in the Donetsk direction.
Video footage showing the destruction of the first tank surfaced online on May 2. The tank was hidden under trees, still it was detected by the Russian military and targeted with a Lancet loitering munition. The strike set the tank’s engine and fuel tank on fire.
The second tank was destroyed on May 4 while taking part in a failed counter-attack. It was reportedly targeted with a Kranspol prison-guided artillery shell. A video showing the tank receiving a direct hit and another showing it on fire were posted to social networks.
The United States supplied Ukraine with 31 Abrams over the past year. Russian sources claim that more than a third of these tanks have already been destroyed or damaged. Two of these tanks were captured by the Russian military. All the losses were near Avdeevka.
A recent report by The Associated Press revealed that Kiev forces withdrew all Abrams tanks from the front recently as the result of the excessive use of drones by the Russian military, which made it too difficult for the tanks to operate without detection or coming under attack.
Nevertheless, it appears that the rapid advance of the Russian military to the northwest of Avdeevka has forced Ukraine to deploy the tanks.

abrams is a old scrap iron, a metallic coffin. on the other news, after 2 years of conflict the bear finally starts to show his teeth: zakarova said yesterday that if the crimean bridge falls (this is basically what cameron promised), it will be “retaliatory strikes” but she did not say “on ukraine”. so we all hope that she was talking about the nazi helper and terrorist uk (who is delivering the storm shadows). for the first time i see some retaliation against the uk (as it should be).

cameron was uk pm from 2010 to 2016, during which time you saw the libya, syria and ukraine problems begin, this also initiated the migrant crisis across europe. in syria despite years of fighting al qaeda in the war on terror he wanted to back them against assad and russia. not a great track record with diplomatic relations, probably one of the major trouble makers.
rump ukrappers doing what they were “trained” to do…get crispy and charred in $lumville garbage cans. it’s almost as good as watching khazar rats getting grilled by the gallant hamas freedom fighters in palestine.
shoot down the spy planes over the black sea. they are apart of the conflict, take em out
russians should have done it long time ago
more uza crap now kaput. hopefully sales tank world wide soon.
“krasnopol” is the name of the guided artillery shell that spoke to mr abrams. and presumably, “precision” was the word which should have followed.
low volume american junk.
any tank would have failed under these conditions…
well in this case it was the m1a1 abrams that failed.
western sycophants would say its due to bad training and no uranium package. they shouldn’t be used regardless. imagine many abrams tank with uranium armor burning up….its a chemical weapon. i wonder was that designed in mind, if they lose it poisons the area.
western tanks —1 expensive to operate maintain—frquent non combat defects occur…2 mobility impaired in muddy hilly terrain—3 huge consumption high octane fuel….russian tanks more mobile easier to maintain operate with daily available fuels
becuz we are inferior species abortion mandatory in dumbmark
russian spokesmans says, at 9 may 2024, putin ordered making parade of forein, poland, england, german, american soldiers, prisoners of war will walk in the main street of moscow under escort 2024 after tanks parade during the annual parade this year lol
some videos of tests against these western tanks turned to swiss cheese make great entertainment. similar old tank trials of swedish s-tanks online but better.
ploha—why you insult swiss cheese?
but they are not real tank. only dummy 1 keep bombing russia and believe you destroyed american tank..🤣
what this war is proving is that main battle tanks are now obsolete, since they can be defeated with cheap drones with napalm payloads targeting the engine, fuel and ammunition compartments. it does not require explosives only fire to make a tank a big expensive smoldering pile of junk.
