  1. Tanks have almost always acted in a similar way in Ukrainian forces, firing directly at various targets in advance or defense and retreating to avoid artillery. The best way to use the heavy cannons

  2. Can’t wait for Russians to spam pictures and vids of a tracked/ detroyed abrams’s for which they had to sacrifice a whole company

  3. It’s very cool to see it in that setting, used to seeing them tanned up in the middle east

    The footage is pretty boring though

  4. Probably not far off from seeing the first loss but that’s what it’s for. Tank isn’t useful if kept hidden away, I’d rather see it destroyed on the front lines doing its job then being lost having seen no action

  5. Interestingly this is literally just down the road from where the M1150 was disabled yesterday, i wonder if they’re trying to take back Stepove to push the Russians back across the rail road tracks.

  6. shows up, unleashes chaos and goes into “okay, bye” mode

  7. Imo, it’s not a good use of tanks. Tanks should be used for breaking through enemy defenses. Using them defensively gives minimal advantages compared to artillery and other weapons, and puts the expensive tank in danger. Of course they’re vulnerable when they’re attacking too but everything else is even more vulnerable when attacking.

    But maybe it’s like baptism by fire for inexperienced crews – give them a relatively low-risk mission so they can gain some confidence.

  8. So it was.. just used as artillery basically?

    Seems like you’d be better off just mounting a 155mm on the back of a semitruck.

  9. The day they manage to even scratch the paint of one of these will become a holiday in russia, with parades and all

  10. There should be 100 more just like them on the way.

    There should **also** be A-10s sent to them as tank busters. They can operate in ‘bandit’ status.

  11. As a drive knowing the drone is following your new US supplied tanks would make me so much more careful lol

  12. Pleasedon’thitamine Pleasedon’thitamine Pleasedon’thitamine

  13. The M1 is working harder than the House of Representatives I see.

  14. Boy doing what he was born to do.

    Fighting Russians.
