The first upgrade was called the M88A1.

Great because now the Ukraine farmers tractors don't have to take the abandoned or damaged Russian tanks with them but this beast M88 Hercules can do this, and to be honest - much better.

An awful lot of missprounciation in the video. Could this be a computer generated narration?

I deployed on one of these beasts.

I was an Abrams Mech. (Peacetime, though): Operated the old M-88

Thats why they build these tanks from scratch and remove everything that cant be allowed to fall into Russian hands.ö

The US Army always calls a spade, a spade.

Without efficient jets to defend helicopters and tanks then Abrams will be vulnerable Ukraine need app 20 jets with Meteor missiles to deter the Russian Migs Ukraine have only app 30 km range for air to air missiles --- meteor reach 100 km and they will hit Gripen would be the most economical solution because it designed to start and land on roads ! They can be serviced by 2 trucks by 4 to 5 people in 10 minutes ! F16s would do the same job with much more difficulty Ukraine has shown they are clever at combining the weapons they have got in an efficient way They need all the instruments in the orchestra

Metric for 96% of the world?

Both the Army and Marines need a tank recovery vehicle based on the M1A2C/D Abrams cause the M88 Hercules is based on the Patton Tank...that's freaking old!

The marine corps doesn't have tanks anymore

green plastic helmets at least they could have made them camouflage.

I'm sure we left enough stuff in Afghanistan for everyone (Russia and China) to buy. So why worry about it now.

So it will help Abrams that get stuck in mud due to their weight while still having the same weight problem? Yeah right.

Pretty sad that all the modern military content is full of Ukrainian and Russian propaganda. Cannot watch a military vehicle video without it being filled with propaganda which just makes it pretty sad so that people cannot speak about something military without mentioning Ukraine and operation

Congratulation to Biden and his team of sending or money's to Ukraine and all we hear or social security is ranig out of money . We should talk care of the American peoples first then if we have extra money's then we well help the others but it dos not seem like it we help the other first then if some money's left and they decide to help the American they well do it ?????

Don't send current Western MBT's to Ukraine if you don't want Russia (China , Iran) capturing them and copying/studying them. These M88's are more for just recovering tanks after they break down due to minor technical issues.

@@adrianalexander7516 We can't say , the only time the Abrams faced off with current Soviet tanks was in Iraq. And this did not go well for the Iraqi T-72's. 50 years ago 1970's Western MBT's were designed to defeat 10 Soviet tanks for 1 Abrams. But this was 50 years ago. The Ukrainians very much love these tanks and lust after them and they have the most modern Soviet designs. The Ukrainian defense minister wants to drive his Leopard 2 to Moscow.

Stop giving those people our equipment! We are making a huge mistake draining our forces for Ukraine! Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop giving Ukraine our weapons!!!!!

It's all good, but U.S. have 5500 Abrams tanks in total, so why only 33??? They could sell or give 100 yeasy. But I'm positive that Ukraine is thankfull for all help U.S. provide. Becous it is a big problem with Leopard, Spain sad that they gonna send 40 tank's, in the the end they only gonna send 10. The same with othe coutry's, but U.S. is the only coutry who have there sh*t together. So why not send or sell 100 or 150 Abrams tanks?
