Since February 2022, Ukraine has relied heavily on Western aid to resist the Russian invasion, including the use of U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks. Despite its reputation as a reliable main battle tank, the Abrams has suffered heavy losses on Ukrainian soil, with up to 20 out of 31 tanks reportedly destroyed due to advanced Russian weaponry like the Kornet anti-tank missile.
They suck anywhere that doesn't have infrastructure to support their 65+ ton heavy asses
I was like, "no fucking way", so I looked it up:
American weight creep. Like the newest Bradleys weight like 30 tons, slightly heavier than a WW2 medium tank and twice as heavy as a BMP (which the Bradley was suppose to be a copy of).
Just like the cars, joke country.

Does this mean the US will actually try to create Bolo tanks due to sheer hubris?
Big Gulp Tank
now look at the weight of the NAMER IFV
Heavier than a T-34
Namer is basically a main battle tank with people instead of a gun
Genius tactical design...
The American on, presumably
heavier than a T90 if I remember correctly
i wonder what the carbon footprint of running one of them for a day is
They should have sat on them all and used them in the Kursk offensive primarily on roads instead of having them sink in soft soil across Ukrainian fields where they get wrecked by artillery and drones.
Honestly would've been light-years ahead of the strategy they used
