BC, Ukraine Sidelines Abrams Tanks After Russian Drone Attacks – AP Ukraine denies the report: Ukrainian forces dismiss AP report on Abrams tank withdrawal due to drone threats (Euromaidan Press) Now before you remind me that Ukraine is not to be trusted, that the Ukrainian government is full of grifters who want nothing more than to see M1 tanks continuing to be provided, yada yada, I will say this. The debate is still out on the usefulness of the M1 tanks, of which only 26 remain in Ukraine. Obviously they didn't turn out to be supertanks (like the RuZZian T-14 Armata was supposed to be, LOL). Obviously they were just as vulnerable to anti-armor drones as any other tank (although their turrets don't achieve low altitude orbit like RuZZian T-72 turrets do). But tanks still serve a very useful purpose. Nothing can punch through a fortified line with such mobility and protection as a tank. RuZZia still finds tanks to be useful, by the way. Despite losing over 2,000 tanks in PooTin's war of choice, RuZZia continues to send them in by the dozens. And they won't stop until their Soviet stockpiles are exhausted. So to declare the M1 tanks as a failure in Ukraine is a bit premature. The only failure here is the U.S. deciding to send only a very small handful of M1 tanks thinking that 31 of them will make any significant difference whatsoever. Let's wait until Ukraine gets about 200-300 of these M1 tanks, if that ever happens, before declaring them to be such a failure. Tenchusatsu
