    Meanwhile, US military officials revealed that Ukraine had sidelined US Abrams M1A1 tanks because Russian drones could detect them and launch attacks.

    Five of the 31 Abrams that the US sent in January 2023 have already been lost to Russian attacks.

        Or maybe they have, and that is why they're getting rotated to the rear - the drones are just an excuse. Getting rotated because of a verified and proven (with video proof) threat of a new(ish) weapon system is still not as embarrassing as getting rotated out because the tank is just shit and broke down. At least in my mind, seeing the wank around nazi tanks may prove me wrong
