The ineffectiveness of American Abrams tanks in Ukraine

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, publication ” Focus” discussed the scandal of the American Abrams tanks in the Ukraine war and their ineffectiveness and wrote: Abrams tanks are a bitter disappointment for Ukraine.

according to the newspaper Telegraph Tank The much-acclaimed Hei Abrams of the United States, deployed to the battlefield to support Ukraine, apparently do not live up to expectations. In practice, they proved to be rarely superior to the older Soviet tanks they were supposed to replace.

According to reports from Ukrainian crew members who spoke to CNN , these tanks are not as strong as expected. One of the crew of these tanks said: These tanks do not protect the crew. According to him, in fact, today’s war is the war of drones. When the tank goes out, they always try to hit it.

Abrams tanks were originally equipped with “stealth” uranium armor, but the US replaced it with a The modified version uses Chobham armor, a combination of ceramic and steel developed in Britain in the 1960s. It is said that this action was taken due to the concern that the uranium armor could reach the Russian hands. They know air and artillery support, which unfortunately Ukraine does not have. The Telegraph reports that Russia still heavily uses drones in its attacks, against which Abrams tanks have little defense.

According to this report, there are also problems There are motor and electrical failures for these tanks due to internal condensation in rain and fog. According to this report, Ukraine has quietly withdrawn some of its Abrams tanks from the front line to avoid the drone threat.

The Ukrainian crew that They are working on the Abrams tanks sent by the United States, by providing explanations of a series of weaknesses and defects of these armored vehicles to the American CNN network, they have now questioned the use of this American tank on the front line.

Ukrainian crew trained in Germany said the vehicles – the US Army’s $10 million main battle tank used in Iraq against Saddam’s forces and insurgents – lack the armor to stop modern weapons.

In this situation, Russia mocks Abrams tanks as hollow pieces of tin. In this way, the inability of these tanks to live up to their reputation as one of the most powerful tanks in the world was quickly noticed by Russia.

The poor performance of this tank by Russian analysts have derided it as an “empty tin can”. Even a severely injured model was displayed in the Red Square parade. Ukrainian crews say the tanks are designed for the NATO style of warfare, where airpower and artillery prepare the battlefield before tanks and infantry advance. Kiev has long suffered from a lack of artillery and air force.
