Ukraine's Spy Chief Warns: Abrams Tanks Vulnerable on the Battlefield
The head of the Ukrainian Army's Main Intelligence Directorate has cautioned that the M1A1 Abrams tanks being delivered from the United States may have limited longevity in combat and should be reserved for specific operations. The prevalent enemy usage of artillery and mines has reduced the potential for using armored equipment, and the viability of the Abrams tanks has been questioned after the destruction of other Western tanks in Ukraine. The M1A1 tanks have been significantly downgraded and have proven susceptible to anti-tank weapons in previous instances.
