I am a US Army 95B Military Police Vet. that served for 3.5 years with the 1st A.D. assigned to Germany. Assigned and where you are is different.. America only exports a stripped down version of the Abrams. It is not US Military standard. Depleted uranium armor is removed along with some toys. Our version of this tank is not allowed to be sold or transferred.
We had an Abrams roll down a hill like a ball, not on tracks and it collided with a boulder that broke a section of the depleted uranium armor. The flew us M.P.'s in a Black Hawk to secure the area so people couldn't see what was inside. We even evacuated the crew from the scene.
America sells this version that Ukraine got to countries like Egypt, etc... It is not the same animal. I know and I know the protocol.
Guys, could I see Daniel in Moscow-city? A guy much alike him was walking there wearing a Peruvian poncho?
You are a stupid reporter 😂
This “American” in Russia is a fucking traitor! He shouldn’t ever be allowed back in my country!Russia is pathetic! They can’t defeat Ukraine they stand zero chance against the US!
This is russian propaganda at its finest 🤣 😂 how many tanks has Russia lost again ???
The problem here isn't tanks OR who's equipment is better OR who's better at destroying each other's equipment...the real problem is arms manufacturers on both sides and the dictators forcing men and women to die for greed and delusion....who's really winning out of all this in the end ????
Saying it took Russia 2 years to capture 1 American tank is weird cause that’s how long the war is going not how long American tanks are at the front they joined just a few weeks ago
And on top of that theywere not in front lines and when they did go in front lines they got captured same day
Yep, they were used near Stepove as a desperate attempt to stop the Russian advance. Once spotted, they were easily dealt with.
The war actually started in 2014, if you count properly. Possibly in 2008.
@@SterileNeutrino i've heard that the "war" actually started in ussr, ukraine was called by the russia as "the wild west". i kind of think that all of this was planned a very long time ago

Yep. But T-72’s got knocked out from range before they could engage Abrams. Better optics, gun and training of Abram’s crew.
It does not matter. You think the newer versions of Abrams are plastered with depleted Uraniums from head to toe? Not at all, depleted uranium is heavy and its an awful choice to plaster it completely on an already 70 ton tank.

Yea, that's called a captured tank. It's captured if you recover it, no matter it's shape.

@@hamuArt Indeed el touche 💯% 🙂
One thing is for sure, the crew has a much better chance of survival than in a Russian tank because of the separated ammunition. The other thing that many people don't take into account is that if such a tank cannot be brought back to the front by the crew after being damaged, it is obligatory to destroy it as much as possible, but at least the internal instruments must not be left intact, as the Germans did with the Tigers in WWII.
They can analyze the armor, which intelligence probably already knows everything about, except for the most modern ones, the cost-effective way of production or the technique, but what is more important in such a combat vehicle is the electronics and software. It needs to be taken out of service in a state that the analysts will have to lose what hair they have left to get useful information from it.

Its no surprise the Abrams has a high fuel consumption, it literally has a jet engine lol
It does not have a jet engine. It has a gas turbine. Jets use exhaust thrust. Gas turbines power a mechanical shaft.
Still explains fuel usage, though.
Why is the western guy in front of a camera allowed to climb on the tanks while all other people must stay behind the fence?….no need to answer, it is a rhetorical question.

You can tell by two things, his Hispanic surname of Castellon(Spanish province) and in the b-roll shown in the the start of the video(specifically at 1:28) he is shown with a Mexican flag on his shoulders indicating that he is possibly of Mexican descent. Around five percent of the U.S. military consists of non-citizens with a majority being from Hispanic countries. He has a typical accent for a Spanish speaker who learned to speak English later in their life. Nothing BS about his accent which is incredibly common in the U.S..
without a complete package, 30 tanks will do nothing, it's not a miracle weapon. Ukraine has no air superiority or air dominance at all, those tanks are sitting ducks

It's enough for the US to keep Ukraine fighting and doing the work for the US. Meanwhile the US is thousands of miles away safe from the fighting. Ukrainians are being used
There are literally thousands of tankers this guy could have talked to and he chose a dude living in Siberia who was Marine infantry 10 yrs ago……………..
The US is giving Ukraine the early model M1, not the most recent model with TUSK... the same as they did with the Iraqis. Still, any model M1 has a higher crew survivability than any Russian tank.
LOL yeah right not with Ukrainian dudes operating them. The point of sending old tanks is empty out old inventory so the military industrial complex can make brand new ones in the USA! 💸💸

The biggest difference is probably that this version doesn't have DU armor.

As a former Abrams tank crewman…
New recruit tank crewmen are trained in simulators for three months, loaders and drivers are starting crew positions, as you gain years of experience you become a gunner then a tank commander.
3-6 months to become a decent loader
6-12 months to become a decent or good driver
12 months and more to become a decent or good gunner
Several years to become an average or good Tank commander.
Ukranians didn’t have the experience or training to effectively use these toys.
Inactive air force other than “drones” doesn’t help either.
I just curious why Ukraine don't pay some tankers vet's for their volunteer at least those tank be use properly than being junk
Thanks for your service, and you hit the nail on the head, at least in my opinion. Apparently the training course for Ukrainian Abrams tankers was about 12 weeks, so that’s only 75% of what a US tanker gets in their standard tanker training. And like you said, no matter how many drones Ukraine fields, and no matter how many Russian vehicles they destroy, that isn’t air cover. If anything, it appears as if Russia is the one gaining air superiority on different parts of the front. F16 might be good, but the training disparity between the Ukrainian and Western F16 pilots is going to be even bigger. A few squadrons of them might not be enough to regain the upper hand in the air

I agree. Ukraine got them 3 months ago. And already 25 percent of all the Abrams sent are destroyed!
I mean hes right with they dont know how to use Abrams/Leopard efficiently - they've used the Leopard as offensive when its a support and the Abrams defensive when its an offensive tool.
Big facepalm to those drunk guys over there... you can clearly see why they are more russian than european - let Putin have them back so he leaves us alone!
Never annoy a dog defending its territory or he will bite you hard...
just the usual ukro and western propaganda, they always twist reality and present it in their "free" media to suit their narrative
just like Bakhmut was a strategicaly important city until the russians captured it
"Under the right operator, no weapon is outdated", that's a laugh. Bring back Sherman tanks then.
Id rather be in a sherman tank than no tank when facing a machine gun...
Tbf Shermans can still lob a lot of HE and can provide a moving steel wall to infantry if possible. In those roles, it is still capable. Just because it's a tank doesn't mean that they are going to be used to 1v1 a 1970s MBT
I'm an infantry officer, and I love this marine's comment "you cannot export experience". That is the heart of the issue. I admire the guts of the troops, but from the little i have seen online and the testimony from those returning alive from this fight it is very clear the Ukrainians are not organized, experienced or equipped enough to fight an all arms war. Our tanks are amazing kit - but more valuable is the crew, and that takes years to perfect - ask any tanker. When the combination of tank and crew is as it should be , watching armor "do their thing" (which has not been shown in any footage of this war) is something to behold. Hell on wheels, rolling thunder, shock and awe - those phrases capture the essence of armored warfare done right. But that requires competence and coordination between armor, air, artillery, infantry and engineer assets. All of us working together in sync. Not this lone tank shit driving around aimlessly with no infantry support getting shot at from every bush or window, or some dumb asses leaving their hatches open for the flying hand grenades to drop into. Because of all those nuclear warheads we are not going to commit any more than we have. Every war Russia has fought starts out poorly - they need to weed out the corrupt and incompetent officers. However, once they do get rolling and organize that artillery and rocket support - well, you see the results. Every day I see more and more ground being gained slowly by the Russians. Ukraine simply cannot replace their losses. And now that people are seeing the meat grinder of poorly organized and fought trench warfare - the recruits are just not flocking there anymore, are they. Way different fight than 20 years in a desert.
Very interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing 🤝
I was only serving in the mountain division in germany. I have no clue about tanks. But also very well trained and experienced US-veterans have no clue about how it is to fight when the enemy has full air and artillery superiority. Not even to mention that this is the first war with extensive use of Dhrones against tanks. Using tanks under this circumstances for an offensive is a suicide mission. Experience whould have an effect but would not change the overall picture.
The military equipment is as outdated as the proverb: A bad workman blames his tools 😀
Perfectly said
in Russia we say: Bad dancer blames his balls
Is that why this tank weighed over 10 tons less than the modern Abrams?
in south america some countries has a phrase "A bad fucker can blame his own balls" 🤣
All tanks are susceptible to drones. Not sure why everyone's making a big deal about them being lost, no tank in the world effectively counters drones.
An infantryman's opinion on tanks is like asking a pilot about an M240

As a retired firefighter with 30 years of experience, I can assure you that you really don't want to touch or pick up anything related to mechanical engines that has previously been involved in a fire. These things are contaminated with toxic chemicals produced from the fire that will pass through your skin, enter your bloodstream, and sometimes stay there. Take precautions and wear gloves if you need to do that.
👍
As a former Tank mechanic in the Marine Corps, all I can add is without experienced mechanics, a stockpile of parts and special troubleshooting equipment tanks can become lawn ornaments rather quickly.. 1 hour of operation = 8 hours of maintenance..
Thats kinda what a lot of people who werent on the hype train were saying before their deployment. The gas turbine engines for one thing must be finicky and unfamiliar to the Ukies
Tanks on their own achieve nothing. Without air superiority there just nice juicy targets.
all tanks are outdated now, cheap drones with attached RPG could destroy any tank. Basically it's a flying RPG with a dozen miles range
I think you mean is without air superiority a nation's tanks will not achieve much against a more air dominant enemy.
air superiority is fine, but not in case of tanks usage, main problem for tanks are drones, both kamikaze and those used for artillery together with guided shells, for that is very important to be stronger in electronic warfare and be able to jam enemy drones
@@chrisryan8810я думаю, что без комплексного подхода ничего не будет панацеей. Превосходство в воздухе так же, как и танки, надо использовать в комплексе с чем то.

@@Tridentgumisgoodthe newest Abrams M1A2 Sep V3s have an RHAe rating over 70% better than the M1A1. RHAe means rolled hard armor equivalent.

Even the most modern armor won't withstand a direct hit from a 152mm artillery shell.

He is absolutely correct the weapon was not the issue the issue was a crew with out proper training or experience and improperly using it
The Russians have been in combat in the Ukraine a lot longer than the M-1's were in-country. The troll that said it took '3,000 Russian tanks to capture 1 Abrams' is patently absurd and intellectually dishonest. As for being 'outdated' the M1A1 is still a standard main battle tank around the world, and is essentially no different from the A2 other than bolt-on 'upgrades'. This is pretty much what I expected, though- first, trolls lauding the M1A1 as a game-changer, and when it gets whacked decrying it as 'outdated'. As for tank vs tank, it's worth noting that this one was destroyed by an anti-tank missile. This guy gets it.
Most of the Abrams have been a victim to drones. And there is simply nothing that the Ukrainians can do about it. No tank in real life is what one can call a game changer, and not outdated. None have been able to effectively adapt against drones. At the time when these Western tanks were often dubbed, "game changers", drones were not nearly as prolific on the front. Sure, they were there, but only in this year and 2023 has it gotten especially bad, with for instance Ukraine pledging production of 1 million drones this year. You also mention that it was victim to an anti tank missile, iirc a Kornet. Again, not much that could be done, without systems like the Trophy on the 1A2.
@@vector8877 Do not forget that the goal is not to turn into a pile of iron, but only to take it out of the battle. And so there are drones that just destroy it. Don't believe me, the entrance to the exhibition is free.

Of course. All of the major powers that export armored vehicles have specific "export" versions. The old Russin T-72 era tanks had a "M" version for export, and it was not as good as their best.
Thats because the saudi M1's are export models and have Generation 1 optics. so those tanks are outdated.

I was an Abrams tanker that has seen the M1A1 and the M1A2SEPv2/v3.
The A2 is basically a whole new tank with the commanders CITV, that makes the tank probably 2/3 times more effective at targeting. You could take a tank out and then press a button and take another threat out once reloaded in about 10 seconds and there are various other quality of life things that make the A2 a lot more effective.
Absolutely agree that training makes them more effective.
You can train an OK driver and loader in about a week, you need a lot more of specialized experience to be a gunner and especially a commander. I'd say you'd need a month or more of training.
This isn't accounting for working with other tanks or units too, that would be another follow on month.
These guys (Ukrainians) are not getting the right training and its really sad.
Targeting and training won't save you from ATGM lobbed from 10 clicks or loitering munition 'knocking' on either M1s foil-thin top armor or engine grille.
The Ukrainians have had the right training for the wrong type of conflict. The 47th mech which uses the M1A1 first used them in Avdiivka, which was under heavy artillery and multiple russian loitering munitions such as the LANCET, not to mention the tanks are operating in heavily mined fields. Which most of the Ukrainian western tanks has been lost to.
You also have to remember whenever an Abrams is spotted on the battlefield, Russia will do every thing it can to knock it out.
The Abrams and other western tanks and equipment are game changers when all the critera is checked and met. The tanks need air superiority and infantry, fighters needs to fly in an area that is not full of Anti Air and so on.
they are more potent in combat but they would have had the same fate
As a tanker, what would your thoughts be on the fact that most of the tank losses in current wars are rarely due to other tanks, but instead AT ordnance (i.e. mines, drones, ATGM, artillery, etc.)?
Would the new upgrades increase the newer tank's survivability in such condition? If so, how long will you think the tank survive? If not, do you think designers need to re-think about their design philosophy?
@@rajamartua5531 I think it makes sense because we have new tech to destroy tanks.
Just like any combat unit there will be strengths and weaknesses its just really easy for the average person to see the tank as the pinnacle of representing vehicle land warfare.
Honestly I think upgrades would be possible but too expensive. Adding on more stuff cannot replace the actual ground situation. For example the Abrams tank was designed for defense and the crappy range shows that clearly. I think that tanks work best in defense moving from different firing areas as a mobile gun system. In the offense it is very much the full combined arms team effort with the tank being the most visible "punching" unit.
I do not think the $ for better designs will be worth it, at the end of the day every piece of equipment should be expendable if you are going to commit it to an attack.
As Maverick said: It not the plane it the pilot.
So if the Tank commander isn't experienced enough to handle the machine, it nothing but a toy thrown into the sand.
Non of this matters to the dead.
Never thought I'd see this before WW3.
I'd use "out of". but you're probably right my friend, "before" WW3. Good luck out there :)

The long standing truth in tank warfare; “The weakest part of any tank is the crew inside.”
Russia lost 7000+ tanks? Why not 100000?
Потому что 100000 плохая цифра. Он бы показала промышленную мощь, а это тоже нельзя рассказывать. Россия отсталая бензоколонка и ничего не умеет, но теряет тысячи танков каждый месяц. Когда биология заменена социальными конструктами, математика ощущениями, а физика магией, отупение стада уже на финишной прямой к состоянию скота. Не стоит ожидать логики в озвучивании цифр. Спикер белого дома вот на днях сказала, что США и Украина во второй мировой войне боролись против Сталина. Все говорят о третье мировой войне, но та скорость, с которой запад деградирует, точно нас избавит от этого. Они вымрут сами от чего-то банального. Задушат себя кофтой, подавятся яблоком, ударятся током, разорвут кишку каким-нибудь предметом. Так что пусть называют любые цифры. Сначала это вызывало недоумение, потом злило, потом смешило, теперь просто наплевать.
Because the Russian count is based on verified open source data. It's not like Russian numbers just pulled out of Putin's anus.
And russian army run out of shovels. 🤣
because if russia lost 100K, then they would be praising russian production capabilities
Какая глубокая мысль!...🤔@@rabbaniazzahra1784
The thing is that the media does not understand military tanks or aircraft. When they heard leopard 2, they think of the leopard 2 pso, leopard 2a7+, leopard 2pl because they look badass and are the most advanced variants of these tanks, but the tank community gets down into the nitty gritty and understand oh, they are sending the leopard 2a4 and leopard 2a6 which are much older models, but they fire the same ammunition as modern variants. Same for the M1 Abrams. When people think of a M1 abrams, they think of the M1A2 Sep v3 or v4(they are no longer buying this model) which are the most modern variant of this tank.
Now here is why we consider the abrams you see here as outdated, it has a generation 1 thermal sight which is extremely old and blurry. It is also missing its depleted uranium inserts which we have no clue which variant 100% has, we just expect it to be on the sep v3. The model of abrams that we sent to Ukraine is the export model of the m1 abrams that were sitting in European warehouses waiting for a war. Overall, though, I agree, under the right use cases, the M1 abrams is a formidable tank just like any other tank.
Now lets get to the f16. The f16 is still a very modern platform as militaries throughout the world still do not have large fleets of stealth fighters with multi role capabilities outside of the United States. Though the design is quite old, the aircraft can still be equipped with very modern systems allowing it to compete with aircraft within its generation. Though, I also agree, the pilots that will eventually be using the f16 are not going to be as experienced as their American counterparts who have hundreds to thousands of hours in their aircraft. Though, if Ukraine can operate hundreds of these aircraft like the United States, that is when the f16 will be a complete gamechanger.
The F-16 would not have changed anything if its deliveries were not in the tens of thousands. The problem with the F-16 is that Russia is the world leader in air defense systems. And Russia has made a lot of them and continues to produce them. What chance does the F-16 have of gaining air superiority if this airspace is controlled at least by the outdated S-300 complex? And if the airspace is controlled by the S-400, how many F-16s will it take to gain air superiority?
@@Oleg111222333 the f16 is not a game changer in the sense that they lack numbers, but they do not need thousands, they just need a few hundred
The f16 is still overall better compared to the mig 29 bc the f16 has much better cas and antisead capabilities. It also has a better radar, avionics, and electronic warfare suite. It also has a better range allowing it to stay much further away from the front. What i expect the f16 to do in ukraine is a deterrence against su 25 with their amraam missiles, but also constantly running sead missions to knock out a portion of russian sams clearing the area for su 25 or other f16 fighters to start ground pounding. Just like what the russians did by knocking out a patriot and then start sending cas into where the patriot is destroyed to clear a way for infantry
@@Oleg111222333 Get your orders of magnitude straightened out; no air force in the world has tens of thousands of planes, total, let alone of F-16s. It would also be impossible for anyone to have tens of thousands of F16s, given that less than 5000 were ever made.
@@xungnham1388 Is it Russia’s problem that NATO countries do not have enough F-16s? The F-16 is a light aircraft, it does not have the ability to carry a radar of sufficient size to see too far. Unfortunately, it is impossible to deceive physics and the wavelength of the radar, and accordingly its range directly depends on the size of the radar. Ground radars are not limited in size and will see the aircraft much earlier. And they are capable of launching a missile with a greater range. It's like ducks versus hunters. A duck, of course, can fly very low above the ground in order to be noticed as late as possible, but unfortunately the Russians use a doctrine of deeply echeloned air defense where long-range air defense is not used alone, but is protected by medium and short-range air defense. No air defense is an absolute defense; it can be overloaded with a large number of targets. That is, the attacker must have more aircraft than the air defense has missiles and will have to accept in advance a large number of losses among its aircraft. For such a breakthrough, you simply need a huge number of disposable aircraft. That is why the Russians, when attacking the Ukrainians, use waves of attacks; cheap drones attack first, and a little later, when the air defense is overloaded, Russian missiles reach their targets.
Russia has self learning A.I piloted fighters now which has outmaneuvered human pilots in its test runs.
Two things with the tanks
One: Abrams is very much not outdated, it is not considered outdated, and considering five at most have been destroyed or knocked out, does not suggest they are outdated.
Two: They have only been there for a couple of months, since August last year. So, the Russian losses is not nearly as bad when you compare like that, but it is still the fact Russia has lost at least 600 tanks since August, so it is very much a joke to be blunt
I don't fully believe what this guy is saying. The US hasn't faced truly worthy opponents until now. It's normal to see the loss of top tanks in peer-to-peer combat.
The Abrams were NOT sent 2 years previously. they were destroyed as soon as they appeared.
Very true, it's typical propaganda to say the Abrams has been in battle for two yrs
Thats how they cope
That's right, they have recently appeared on the battlefield. Now they have been hidden back so as not to be disgraced.
Also interesting how those commenters always point out that during 91 Desert Storm, Iraq had one of the worlds biggest armies, when in reality their tanks were outdated export versions crewed by woefully unprepared soldiers, back then it didn't matter....But when their precious Abrams gets it's ass kicked, it suddenly becomes an outdated monkey model.
Funny how that works huh?
It doesn't matter how experienced the tank crews are, this is not 'desert storm' of Iraq or Afghanistan in 2001. This is a different ball game, with russia using very powerful lethal weapons. The Iraqis and Afghans didn't have any of these to use to defend themselves at the war front. 🙄 😕
A good many people who gleefully tweeted out that these tanks are 'game changers' are the same ones who are now downplaying them as too old or outdated.
They are game changers, but the Abrams provided to Ukraine aren't the latest and greatest. It's almost 40 year tech. It doesn't mean they aren't lethal.
Exactly, they literally have no shame to change their opinion within days or even hours. Like they say "Leopard will shatered Russia" and then in the first week, we get the Leopard destroyed and they found another excuse like "outdated". Literally, some people just being karen in the war and denied the fact of the war

Media claimed these were game changers and anyone who takes military opinions from someone with a media studies degree deserves to be completely b######ted. Everyone with a brain knew they were likely not going to last long which is why every country that donated tanks sent obsolete version's not their current front line versions used by their militaries. These tanks are outdated by virtue of the fact none of this version of Abrams is currently in U.S army service therefore it's outdated does that make it useless absolutely not and with a good crew under the rights circumstances (air cover, trained infantry support and a fully qualified and supplied logistical system) it's a dangerous opponent.
To be honest parading a few example's of destroyed western vehicles only makes civilians happy while Ukraine of course could display hundred's of T72's,80's and 90's but given how Putin has closed down the internet in Russia most Russians of course can't find that out.
Everyone acts like American vehicles are supposed to be invincible. At the end of the day theyre just tanks, they get hit and destroyed just like any other tank.
Its Because they themselves think they are invincible and are more superior to an American, in reality no of them will last long in a war with America we i will have losses but Russia cannot defeat Nato which Putin Fears nobody likes Russia besides Russians its sad one day part of that Russian soil will be America Territory as history repeats it’s self
At 5:05, you made a valid point stating, "if you ask for it, it means it is good for something, this version under the right crew is a weapon to be reckoned with." However, the assertion that this is incompatible with its status as outdated is unfounded.
Later, at 6:50, your statement "it's either good or it's bad(...) is it a good weapon did it take a lot of armor to defeat this armor or is it outdated and it does not matter that it gets captured" presents a false dilemma fallacy. Reality often exists in shades of gray, not merely black and white. Consider a car: it may have flaws like a noisy engine or uncomfortable seats, yet it still effectively fulfills its primary purpose of transportation. Similarly, the M1A1 can be a formidable weapon while simultaneously being considered outdated.
The notion that the M1A1 Abrams tank is rendered useless in Ukraine due to a few losses disregards its substantial advantages over much of the Russian armor it faces. Although deemed outdated by current US military standards, the M1A1 consistently outperforms many of the tanks and IFVs fielded by Russian forces in the region.
While the destruction of a few M1A1s may occur, it doesn't negate its overall effectiveness. Every weapon system can be defeated in certain circumstances, yet the Abrams has repeatedly demonstrated its prowess on the battlefield. Dismissing it as obsolete based on isolated incidents oversimplifies its capabilities.
Furthermore, it's crucial to recognize the contrasting tactics employed by Russian and NATO forces. Russian vehicles tend to prioritize offensive capabilities, while NATO vehicles prioritize defense and survivability. Unlike Russia, NATO prioritizes the safety of its crews (you do not see NATO tanks competing for the turret tossing championship), rather than employing waves of troops as cannon fodder. This distinction underscores the strategic and ethical differences between the two military doctrines.
At 8:16 you said that "this abrams was armed to the teeth", would you mind telling me what you expected? A few pillows? Some nerf guns? Almost every abrams has a 7.62 and a .50 cal machine gun.
I don't even think that guy ever served in the US military (though I admit this is mostly a hunch based on the russian accent and the lack of know-how shown here).
This Video is clearly biased and clearly propaganda by the russian media.
Afghanistan is not Ukraine though, and no matter how good the tank is without drone protection and air superiority it's a 60 tonne paperweight.
Air superiority, let alone air supremacy is impossible over countries like Russia or China with latest multilayered air defence from short to extremely long range, up to 300-400 km

People might be confused, these are m1a1sa, a variant of the abrams, a outdated variant that is due to be decommissioned by the U.S. Not the M1A2, that the U.S uses as a main battle tank. Nobody said these tanks were invincible. I find it funny russia parades retrieving old destroyed western equipment, but when Ukraine retrieves t-90's, etc, its overlooked.. or called propaganda.
If USA would sent their most modern tanks the Lancet would bring them down as well. It is strategig mistake to use this weapon for offensives if you have not air superiority as well as artillery.
Боты работают по методичке. Я тоже видел волну комментариев по поводу устаревшего Абрамса и тысяч "якобы" уничтоженных российских танков. Причем на разных каналах, в том числе англоязычных. Возникает вопрос, зачем посылать на Украину устаревшее оружие, которое не соответствует боевым задачам? И сравнить процентное соотношение Абрамсов, участвовавших в боевых действиях и выведенных из строя с таким же для российских танков.
Вообще, танки (особенно ОБТ) устаревшими быть не могут. Да, очевидно, что какой-нибудь Т-90М будет намного лучше Т-64. Однако, не стоит забывать, что совершенно любой танк, даже Т-55, лучше, чем его отсутствие. И это даже не учитывая то, что на современном поле боя прямые танковые битвы крайне редки. Эти факторы уже делают обвинения типа "танк устаревший" просто напросто бредом

I hope when Ukraine wins the war any returning Ukrainian men will be required to serve in the military on the boarder lines or be denied entry for their cowardliness. Thank you so much for sharing. However I think any American in Russia right now is a pretty brave or not thinking straight in putting their freedom at risk to do news articles, especially former U.S. Armed Forces Members.

'Under the right operator no weapon is outdated'-that's the best statement
Claim it took Russia three (03) years to capture leopard, abraham tanks is a blue lie.
The analysis must 😅start by responding to the question: when were these tanks introduced on the Ukrainian war front?
Just weld an old serial number onto an old tank and suddenly??

We Slavs are not your enemies. We never were and never will be. We are all just people. We share this world and why not invest all that money into making it better and making mankind expand into the universe? There is more than enough space and resources for everyone without the need to destroy our world.
I hear you friend. Im candian.
We're certainly not their enemy. But if NATO(US) make us disappear, we will drag the west with us.
Well put my friend.
Мы просто люди, а запад просто дегенераты, над которыми ставят опыты. Следующим шагом будет легализация педофилии. Это люди? Ты с ними хочешь жить в мире? Я не хочу жить с ними на одной планете.
Unfortunately it won’t happen because of the greed, envy and lust in this fallen world, never has been a time that one nation or another wasn’t scheming and planning how they would distroy their neighbor and get ahead, it never turns out like they plan but they won’t stop.
Pure B.S. no former "Marine" would be allowed to walk freely around Moscow without being a traitor
The F16 Viper is the ONLY jet designed to handle 9Gs. With the right pilot, it’s more than a handful for a Raptor. No plane is better in a 2 circle dogfight, and only stealth can defeat it generally speaking.
Ukrogoblins are crying
What are you doing in "ukrogoblins" country?
Berta Maria or some... Olga or Natasha...?
@@lsd8497хочешь познакомиться?
What would they cry over? A marine clearly affected by Putin's propaganda and making it out for international audiences that Ukrainian crews don't use the Abrams properly, while completely ignoring how these tanks were lost and why?
@@lsd8497 Stop taking psychedelics, they are clearly rotting your brain.
Challengers, Leopards, T72s, Abram’s, T90’s, whatever… it makes no difference without the right crew AND the right artillery and air support. Those tanks never had a chance to prove themselves in battle for the simple reason that the Russians were able to pound them with artillery, FPV drones, mines, and KA-52’s, while the Ukrainians didn’t have any way to counter them.
In the summer counteroffensive, the Ukrainians literally sent Bradley’s and Leo’s into minefields without air support. The Abram’s tank being displayed was sent into a Russian artillery pocket.
That is the point, all the front is a Russian artillery pocket
When they said the bradley took out t-90, it wasn't real things. Drone which eliminate them. Similar to abrams,leo, and challenger
Mate, I think your POV is wrong, T72 and Leopard have a lot of differences. Thay have been create in different vision of applying.
Just drive around the minefield ~ NAFO -armchair- general
Half of ka-52 had left the chat
Okay but that is an outdated Abrams... You can tell by the wheels in the back. The modern Abrams drive wheels near the engine bay are smaller and thinner but on this outdated Abrams the wheel is one of the larger ones that were put on the very first M1A1's made.
what difference would that have made? you act like any tank can survive a modern ATGM hit...
Hmmm, so a Russian-born reporter who formerly worked for RT is interviewingy a former Marine who stayed in Russia for years to cure his PTSD, and who has no experience with tanks, and both are somehow allowed in the fence and to touch the tank (touching burnt tanks can be very harmful).
Castellon says the Ukrainians used the tank poorly because it is an offensive weapon and they used it defensively. No, the Abrams tank, like many MBTs, is an all-round fighting platform which can be used for many roles. Western advisors would have wanted the tanks to be used in breakthrough offensives. The problem is Russian defenses prevent the tanks from attacking en masse. They pile mines (this Abrams was most likely destroyed by mines, judging by the tracks) and use artillery and drones. To make that kind of breakthrough, Ukraine would need combined warfare capabilities including a strong air force, which it doesn't have, to damage Russian active defenses and allow for demining. The infantry-artillery-cavalry trinity essential for a war is not present here, which is reminiscent of WW1, when cavalry couldn't operate properly on the Western Front (they ultimately perfected infantry-artillery coordination and through attrition weakened the Germans sufficiently as to advance; tanks had a very limited role).
Some people say that the use of drones is making tanks obsolete, but it is simply a question of time before countermeasures are installed. If the Trophy system can intercept incoming rockets, they certainly can produce anti-drone systems.
RealReporter😂. Joke of the century right there, holy crap it is too good.
Ya, its like Scott Ritters little Brother.
On 26 February, Russian forces west of Avdiivka destroyed the first M1A1 Abrams tank of the war. Like the loss of the first Challenger 2 near Robotyne last September the event has provoked widespread commentary. So far 5 of 31 Abrams tanks have been lost! (As of April 2024)
Another bot
Your existence is nafo. And your fentanyl habit
Basic fact is Abrams was only delivered in second half of 2023 . And it wasnt deployed at all on the front line. And when it was deployed it just tooks just a few days to few weeks to be hunted and taken out.
Yep. They kept them near Polish border. First Abrams was destroyed literally the next day it entered combat. Followed by a few more, survivability of Abrams tank in ukraine is 1 mission.
Given the PR stunt they did around that delivery, they might as well have paint a bullseye on it.
Apparently the russian soldiers are paid a bounty when they take out foreign armour, especially US armour.
Thank you. So much respect. Would love to meet Daniel
