Ukraine pulls US provided Abrams tanks from the battlefield
https://www.npr.org/2024/04/26/12474...-drone-threats
Ukraine has sidelined U.S.-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two U.S. military officials told The Associated Press.
The U.S. agreed to send 31 Abrams to Ukraine in January 2023 after an aggressive monthslong campaign by Kyiv arguing that the tanks, which cost about $10 million apiece, were vital to its ability to breach Russian lines.
But the battlefield has changed substantially since then, notably by the ubiquitous use of Russian surveillance drones and hunter-killer drones. Those weapons have made it more difficult for Ukraine to protect the tanks when they are quickly detected and hunted by Russian drones or rounds.***NEUTRAL CREW*** ™

Nothing occurring right now should surprise anyone. This is exactly what was predicted as the Russians were "being slaugthered" taking Avdiivka.
LOL

Evaluating a component of a combined arms system without the most important part of that system (air power) is exactly what I would expect from our Iranian "contributor".Florida Crew as of 3/21

Russian troops have taken Novokalynove and Keramik…the liberation of Donbass from bandera losers continues.
“U.S. intelligence agencies have determined that Putin likely didn’t order Navalny to be killed at the notoriously brutal prison camp in February, people familiar with the matter said, a finding that deepens the mystery about the circumstances of his death.”

Yea, made no sense why Putin would off him. He was already in prison, was forgotten by everyone, nobody in Russia really cared about him.
Some posters ITT owe Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin an apology. Accusing an innocent man of murder… SAD
Damn, that’s pretty messed up. Just leave your own behind like that.Last edited by BasedBagel; 04-27-2024 at 10:18 AM.
Tsar Ivan IV Grozny:
“And if you, having a dog's mouth, want to bark for fun—that's your custom as a serf: it is an honor to you, but it is disgrace for us to think of you, let alone to snarl back at you, and there is naught worse in this world than to bark along with you, and if you want to bark, find yourself a serf like you, and bark with him."

You're the perfect example of a stupid American. I am actually surprised you don't come on your knees groveling with an apology. We discussed indepth how a war with Iran and the US would play out - and we have now seen everything I said come true.
Iran's offensive missile/drone capabiliites have changed the equation. Any strieks against Iran will be met with missile strikes that cannot be stopped - even by the most densely defended region in the world.

The Abrahms tank is just a very poorly designed tank - theres really nothing special about it. It has a huge design flaw in its power plant, it's also far too heavy for Ukraine.
American MIC corruption at its worst.
Your air power would be irrelevant against Russia, aerial supremacy would not be achieved and regardless drones will still destroy abrahms. Are you suggesting you will use an F-35 to shoot down a FPV drone? lol. Your contributions are just embarrasing.Last edited by PimpinisEasy; 04-28-2024 at 05:29 PM.

Literally everything Iran sent was shot down. Everything Israel sent back hit. Yawn.
Using a diesel turbine engine makes the Abrams fast, not sure why you think that's a design flaw.
The US has quite a bit more in the way of anti drone equipment than Ukraine does but the biggest advantage is that the US is generally able to dictate tempo with its combined arms capability. A tank sitting by itself waiting for someone else to attack it is always going to be at a disadvantage.Florida Crew as of 3/21

lol you're an idiot. You shouldn't comment on military technology - it's beyond you.
Iran's strike on Israel displayed exactly what I predicted would happen.
Iran employed a kill chain designed to overwhelm American and Israeli AD & ABM systems with cheaper munitions, before landing their intended strike with more advanced missiles.
Specifically Iran use Shahed 136 drones, and Rezvan ballistic missiles as the cheap munitions to attrit American and Israeli munitions. This was a huge success - the cost of defending Israel was over $1.3B and cost Iran less than $20M. Iran then used more advanced balistic missils like the Emad and Khebar Sheikan to target their intended targets (two airfields), which hit succesffuly.
As I said any American attack against Iran will be defeated by sher numbers. We can overwhelm any defensive system you have, as proven by overwhelming the most heavily defended region in the world. It took the US, Israel, France, UK, Saudi, Jordan to fight only Iran's cheap stuff. If Israel messes with Iran we can send ten times the number of missiles and drones next time. Iran also didn't employ its most advanced ballistic missiles.
You even shot down a number of Rezvan missiles with SM-3. The SM-3 costs $25M. The Rezvan missile costs $50k lol.
As I said your systems are old and can be beaten. As you can imagine the order book for Iranian arms has gone through the roof; you will face the same response everywhere.
I am shocked you think Israel hit Iran, the joke in Iran is the Israeli strike killed 6 Iranians - from laughing too hard.
Itwas only a small attack for Iran - for you it pushed you to your very limits. The equation has changed.

Business Insider writes that F-16s arriving in Ukraine will face “the most serious tests” of their entire existence.
Previously, they bombed rebels in slippers and nightgowns. At best, they were opposed by outdated air defence systems. Now they'll face aircraft and modern anti-aircraft missile systems. Watch this space!
More American junk is going to get humbled.
