Ukrainian Soldiers Reinforce US Abrams Tanks Amid Russian Drone Threats
TL;DR Summary
U.S.-supplied Abrams tanks in Ukraine are facing significant challenges due to weaknesses in their armor, making them vulnerable to Russian drone attacks. Ukrainian crews report that the tanks' armor is insufficient against modern weapons, leading to the withdrawal of some tanks from the front lines to prevent further losses. Despite the U.S. commitment to provide logistical support and maintenance, five of the 31 Abrams tanks sent to Ukraine have already been lost.
