Apparently near Avdiivka where we’ve seen the tanks operating for the past few days. Blowout panels popped and hatches open so i’d say the crew survived and the tank served its purpose. Hopefully this one can be replaced by a few hundred more eventually.
Bummer.
Why are They using them alone? Where Id the other tanks, where are the IFVs? Dont Get me wrong kts fantastic that They have them and are using them, but the «solo tank» tactical They seem to employ is terrible
So fake…..almost laughable
Unknown Technology: Russians are bewildered by a tank that doesn’t kill its occupants.
When u.s. provides foreign Abrams they don’t have the chobham armour so I expect multiple tanks to be taken out like the leopard
…that didn’t take long.
I’m more and more convinced that the way to get rid of the orks is carpet bombing and ww1 scale artillery barages rather than tech.
these are the final days of the main battle tank.
I think the first sign of the end was in the Armenia/Azerbaijan war
Really? I thought the invaders destroyed all of the 4,000,000 Abrams!
You can build a tank in 2 weeks. It take 18 years to to have a trainable tanker. The humans in the tank are the most valuable components and the hardest to replace. Tanks have ALWAYS been about the survivability of the crew and the troops they support.
If a crew can escape a destroyed tank then it has served its purpose.
Why do those flames on the left look utterly photoshopped?
With blowout panels gone and the hatches open it’s for sure been hit and abandoned, does anyone have any more information on whether it’s been destroyed for good or just disabled and still repairable?
God damn it, I saw a video of a lone one earlier and thought they are playing risky games and here we are. Oh well, that’s 1 and the crew are alive to field another.
Source?
lol that doesnt look like a bad photoshop at all…
its was expected since as we saw russian drone was flming the tank with no problem no manpads to be found, like in summer offensive no air cover or long range aaa to cover troops drone spots them and they hit them with lancet or heavy arty. We can hope bill for aid from will pass asp they need those arty shells and more gmlrs to hunt down lancet and zala crews.
With the turret, guns being in exact marching position it must not have been engaged. and those interesting looking flames… need more info.
Tis a scratch.
Happens. The safety of the crew is more important. Maybe it can be recovered and reinstated after repairs.
How Manny minutes before post gets deleted ?.. always the same on combat footage and here. Im pro Ukraine but stop the deletes..
General H. R. McMaster said back in the Iraq War the future of warfare is a battlefield where you have to assume the enemy can see every tactical move you make and combined warfare is the only chance of breakthrough.
Role of the tank is ideally not to be the spearhead that opens up a weak point, but the follow up break through that wrecks havoc in the enemy rear, command posts and logistical hubs. Easier said than done considering Ukraine’s situation.
that was fast
they finally got one to the frontline and it got clapped just after its PR video :-/
nice of them to pinpoint drone operator with the distance meter
Drones make all tanks suspect for survival until more EW or anti drone tech comes out
Does this look photoshopped?
They just arrived like, 3 days ago.. And one is already gone.
Lot’s of westerners trying to cope in the comments. Good luck.
Send another over there. Hell, send ten.
Blowout panels have been engaged
u/jimmehi One suspicious pic, with photoshopped flames and no video whatsoever? NIce try, little green man.
Fake
Hull is fine.
It can be recovered and rebuilt.
Doesn’t look destroyed really
No one was expecting them to be invincible, though we should see significantly higher crew survivability.
Welp, that sucks.
Let’s send 30 more.
Its just bad omen that everytime Ukraine posts a ‘trailer’ about anything, it WILL soon bites the dust. Shouldn’t they learn about this already? Blown suprise loses all mojo?
You are celebrating the destruction of a single tank.
I celebrate the destruction of the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet.
We are not the same.
Did they escape?
Looks like a few ukrainians get to try again. Money well spent!
Damnnnn well it was inevitable. They managed to destroy one Abrams tank compared to how many tanks they’ve lost themselves?
