Since February 2022, Ukraine has relied heavily on Western aid to resist the Russian invasion, including the use of U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks. Despite its reputation as a reliable main battle tank, the Abrams has suffered heavy losses on Ukrainian soil, with up to 20 out of 31 tanks reportedly destroyed due to advanced Russian weaponry like the Kornet anti-tank missile.

    Yeah apparently what makes US tanks so powerful is the US airpower. We def do not make the best tank out there with the german tanks being favored by the Ukrainians.

      German tanks were in the same place year ago, so it’s really not the question of the tanks, but NATO always attacking countries which does not have meaningful anti-air and anti-tank capabilites. Now they fight the country that does and their wunderwaffe is proving to be just standard, not wunder.
