And while the Russian occupiers are trying to figure out where the Abrams tanks are, tankers of the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade have been dissecting the Russian invaders and their equipment for more than a month ☠️

πŸ“Avdiiv direction

"Abrams" is the main battle tank of the United States, which has been in service since 1980.

It is very durable in battle, because all ammunition is located outside the tower in a special rear niche. In case of damage, the energy of the explosion goes up. And the powerful multi-layered armor makes the Abrams one of the most protected tanks in the world.

Such machines were successfully baptized in combat during the war in the Persian Gulf in the early 90s, known as Operation "Desert Storm". Abrams tanks also helped US forces defeat Iraqi forces during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. "Abrams" were also used in Afghanistan, where an armored company of marines suffered only one wound during combat operations, despite 19 explosions.

Now is the time of battle in Ukraine! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

@LaFinlandia imagine what a whole battalion or division of such things could do to those good-old Russian Ts if deployed

The rusky tanks are blown up one every other hour anyways, this is for attacking I guess?

[–] petrescatraian@libranet.de 2 points 10 months ago

@Valmond This could be super useful for an eventual counteroffensive, even a limited one.
