'Abrams Can't Last...': Ukraine's Spy Chief Warns Kyiv's Forces; U.S. Tanks To Burn Like Leopards?

After U.S. President Joe Biden's promise of the imminent delivery of U.S.-made Abrams tanks to Ukraine by "next week", Kyrylo Buranov, Ukraine's spy chief, has voiced concerns about the American armor. Buranov suggests that these US-supplied Abrams tanks should be deployed selectively in specific breakthrough operations by Kyiv or else it could be destroyed by the Russian forces. Washington had pledged to provide 31 Abrams tanks to Kyiv at the beginning of the year in January. Watch this video to know more.

The Houthis in Yemen stopped Abrams with old school RPG-7 and burned them using petrol and a simple lighter. Those videos are epic.

[Alegzander]

This bucket of bolts is gonna get cracked open even quicker than the Leopard and Challenger.

[rzrz]

thats the whole point of sending rusty ol abrams = til the last ukraine

[bhaashatepe]

the Abrams is invincible as long as you don't deploy them at the frontline!

[dannyb]

Will the Abrams be crewed by American soldiers like the Leopard IIs are being crewed by Germans?

[randomracki]

In other words the Abrams are just for show.

[mirba]

Abrams tank is so heavy that it cracks under his own weight. They are perfect practice targets for Russian artillery. Just like German leopard 1, 2 and 51. 😮😮

[andretorben]

I can imaging no ukrainian soldier is going to want to get into one of those things. They will be target #1 for the Russians. The crews of those Abrams are getting into a gas guzzling coffin.

[rockmusic]

Talk of hitting 2 birds with one stone. The Tanks with a crew of 6 is better target than individual soldiers in the field.

[DRIrM-wgto]

The Israeli's Merkave Mk 4 is the best tank in the world... better than the Abram, yet the Hezbollah wiped off 1/3 or 58 of them during the 30-day war in 2006 with, believe it or not, Russian Kornets.
How do you think the Abrams will perform in Ukraine against the Russian Lancet-3 and Kornet Killer squad? Let's do it !!!!

[PerceivedREALITY]

If you're driving an Abrams tank towards Russian defense lines, your driving a steel coffin.

[deatherutts]

Abram's were meant to fight in arab desert's not Ukraine land

[dannyb]

Today - "The Abrams tank is indestructible, it will roll right over the Russians."

Tomorrow - "Well yes the Abram tanks are being destroyed by Russia, but they did their jobs, the crew (some of them) survived."

Russian defence system are updated time to time, whatever you bring they find a solution. Winning this war so much important for them. And its long foreseen action.

[timothypeterson]

They are some of the oldest Abrams tanks without reactive armor so they will go up pretty easy compared to a newer Abrams with the reactive armor

[glennboodoo]

Like the Abrams was only designed for profit to the contractors

[LiewSengyan]

Rare opportunity for russians to have abrams for target practice

[愛宕姫-nx]

(Hint)
The Abrams tank's engine is a gas turbine engine that is extremely hot.
Fuel consumption is the worst, half that of diesel.They'll target you where the range is short.

[pasolo]

during the war in Yemen a lot of Abrahams were destroyed by the Houties, and we know that the Houties have much less defensive weapons than the russian

[bourjoism]

So now all these almighty weapons are not that good???
