I am a US Army 95B Military Police Vet. that served for 3.5 years with the 1st A.D. assigned to Germany. Assigned and where you are is different.. America only exports a stripped down version of the Abrams. It is not US Military standard. Depleted uranium armor is removed along with some toys. Our version of this tank is not allowed to be sold or transferred. We had an Abrams roll down a hill like a ball, not on tracks and it collided with a boulder that broke a section of the depleted uranium armor. The flew us M.P.'s in a Black Hawk to secure the area so people couldn't see what was inside. We even evacuated the crew from the scene. America sells this version that Ukraine got to countries like Egypt, etc... It is not the same animal. I know and I know the protocol.

One thing is for sure, the crew has a much better chance of survival than in a Russian tank because of the separated ammunition. The other thing that many people don't take into account is that if such a tank cannot be brought back to the front by the crew after being damaged, it is obligatory to destroy it as much as possible, but at least the internal instruments must not be left intact, as the Germans did with the Tigers in WWII. They can analyze the armor, which intelligence probably already knows everything about, except for the most modern ones, the cost-effective way of production or the technique, but what is more important in such a combat vehicle is the electronics and software. It needs to be taken out of service in a state that the analysts will have to lose what hair they have left to get useful information from it.

Thanks for your service, and you hit the nail on the head, at least in my opinion. Apparently the training course for Ukrainian Abrams tankers was about 12 weeks, so that’s only 75% of what a US tanker gets in their standard tanker training. And like you said, no matter how many drones Ukraine fields, and no matter how many Russian vehicles they destroy, that isn’t air cover. If anything, it appears as if Russia is the one gaining air superiority on different parts of the front. F16 might be good, but the training disparity between the Ukrainian and Western F16 pilots is going to be even bigger. A few squadrons of them might not be enough to regain the upper hand in the air

Media claimed these were game changers and anyone who takes military opinions from someone with a media studies degree deserves to be completely b######ted. Everyone with a brain knew they were likely not going to last long which is why every country that donated tanks sent obsolete version's not their current front line versions used by their militaries. These tanks are outdated by virtue of the fact none of this version of Abrams is currently in U.S army service therefore it's outdated does that make it useless absolutely not and with a good crew under the rights circumstances (air cover, trained infantry support and a fully qualified and supplied logistical system) it's a dangerous opponent. To be honest parading a few example's of destroyed western vehicles only makes civilians happy while Ukraine of course could display hundred's of T72's,80's and 90's but given how Putin has closed down the internet in Russia most Russians of course can't find that out.

It's not export version. M1A1 weaker than current army M1A2 but marines have M1A1. So M1A1-SA is latest M1A1 version.

I'm an infantry officer, and I love this marine's comment "you cannot export experience". That is the heart of the issue. I admire the guts of the troops, but from the little i have seen online and the testimony from those returning alive from this fight it is very clear the Ukrainians are not organized, experienced or equipped enough to fight an all arms war. Our tanks are amazing kit - but more valuable is the crew, and that takes years to perfect - ask any tanker. When the combination of tank and crew is as it should be , watching armor "do their thing" (which has not been shown in any footage of this war) is something to behold. Hell on wheels, rolling thunder, shock and awe - those phrases capture the essence of armored warfare done right. But that requires competence and coordination between armor, air, artillery, infantry and engineer assets. All of us working together in sync. Not this lone tank shit driving around aimlessly with no infantry support getting shot at from every bush or window, or some dumb asses leaving their hatches open for the flying hand grenades to drop into. Because of all those nuclear warheads we are not going to commit any more than we have. Every war Russia has fought starts out poorly - they need to weed out the corrupt and incompetent officers. However, once they do get rolling and organize that artillery and rocket support - well, you see the results. Every day I see more and more ground being gained slowly by the Russians. Ukraine simply cannot replace their losses. And now that people are seeing the meat grinder of poorly organized and fought trench warfare - the recruits are just not flocking there anymore, are they. Way different fight than 20 years in a desert.

Very interesting perspective! Thanks for sharing 🤝

The Russians have been in combat in the Ukraine a lot longer than the M-1's were in-country. The troll that said it took '3,000 Russian tanks to capture 1 Abrams' is patently absurd and intellectually dishonest. As for being 'outdated' the M1A1 is still a standard main battle tank around the world, and is essentially no different from the A2 other than bolt-on 'upgrades'. This is pretty much what I expected, though- first, trolls lauding the M1A1 as a game-changer, and when it gets whacked decrying it as 'outdated'. As for tank vs tank, it's worth noting that this one was destroyed by an anti-tank missile. This guy gets it.

@vector8877

Most of the Abrams have been a victim to drones. And there is simply nothing that the Ukrainians can do about it. No tank in real life is what one can call a game changer, and not outdated. None have been able to effectively adapt against drones. At the time when these Western tanks were often dubbed, "game changers", drones were not nearly as prolific on the front. Sure, they were there, but only in this year and 2023 has it gotten especially bad, with for instance Ukraine pledging production of 1 million drones this year. You also mention that it was victim to an anti tank missile, iirc a Kornet. Again, not much that could be done, without systems like the Trophy on the 1A2.

I like how the guy keeps saying it's not outdated and the reporter doesn't get it

The thing is that the media does not understand military tanks or aircraft. When they heard leopard 2, they think of the leopard 2 pso, leopard 2a7+, leopard 2pl because they look badass and are the most advanced variants of these tanks, but the tank community gets down into the nitty gritty and understand oh, they are sending the leopard 2a4 and leopard 2a6 which are much older models, but they fire the same ammunition as modern variants. Same for the M1 Abrams. When people think of a M1 abrams, they think of the M1A2 Sep v3 or v4(they are no longer buying this model) which are the most modern variant of this tank. Now here is why we consider the abrams you see here as outdated, it has a generation 1 thermal sight which is extremely old and blurry. It is also missing its depleted uranium inserts which we have no clue which variant 100% has, we just expect it to be on the sep v3. The model of abrams that we sent to Ukraine is the export model of the m1 abrams that were sitting in European warehouses waiting for a war. Overall, though, I agree, under the right use cases, the M1 abrams is a formidable tank just like any other tank. Now lets get to the f16. The f16 is still a very modern platform as militaries throughout the world still do not have large fleets of stealth fighters with multi role capabilities outside of the United States. Though the design is quite old, the aircraft can still be equipped with very modern systems allowing it to compete with aircraft within its generation. Though, I also agree, the pilots that will eventually be using the f16 are not going to be as experienced as their American counterparts who have hundreds to thousands of hours in their aircraft. Though, if Ukraine can operate hundreds of these aircraft like the United States, that is when the f16 will be a complete gamechanger.

@@xungnham1388 Is it Russia’s problem that NATO countries do not have enough F-16s? The F-16 is a light aircraft, it does not have the ability to carry a radar of sufficient size to see too far. Unfortunately, it is impossible to deceive physics and the wavelength of the radar, and accordingly its range directly depends on the size of the radar. Ground radars are not limited in size and will see the aircraft much earlier. And they are capable of launching a missile with a greater range. It's like ducks versus hunters. A duck, of course, can fly very low above the ground in order to be noticed as late as possible, but unfortunately the Russians use a doctrine of deeply echeloned air defense where long-range air defense is not used alone, but is protected by medium and short-range air defense. No air defense is an absolute defense; it can be overloaded with a large number of targets. That is, the attacker must have more aircraft than the air defense has missiles and will have to accept in advance a large number of losses among its aircraft. For such a breakthrough, you simply need a huge number of disposable aircraft. That is why the Russians, when attacking the Ukrainians, use waves of attacks; cheap drones attack first, and a little later, when the air defense is overloaded, Russian missiles reach their targets.

Russia has self learning A.I piloted fighters now which has outmaneuvered human pilots in its test runs.

I was an Abrams tanker that has seen the M1A1 and the M1A2SEPv2/v3. The A2 is basically a whole new tank with the commanders CITV, that makes the tank probably 2/3 times more effective at targeting. You could take a tank out and then press a button and take another threat out once reloaded in about 10 seconds and there are various other quality of life things that make the A2 a lot more effective. Absolutely agree that training makes them more effective. You can train an OK driver and loader in about a week, you need a lot more of specialized experience to be a gunner and especially a commander. I'd say you'd need a month or more of training. This isn't accounting for working with other tanks or units too, that would be another follow on month. These guys (Ukrainians) are not getting the right training and its really sad.

Which most of the Ukrainian western tanks has been lost to. You also have to remember whenever an Abrams is spotted on the battlefield, Russia will do every thing it can to knock it out. The Abrams and other western tanks and equipment are game changers when all the critera is checked and met.

Just like any combat unit there will be strengths and weaknesses its just really easy for the average person to see the tank as the pinnacle of representing vehicle land warfare. Honestly I think upgrades would be possible but too expensive. Adding on more stuff cannot replace the actual ground situation. For example the Abrams tank was designed for defense and the crappy range shows that clearly. I think that tanks work best in defense moving from different firing areas as a mobile gun system. In the offense it is very much the full combined arms team effort with the tank being the most visible "punching" unit. I do not think the $ for better designs will be worth it, at the end of the day every piece of equipment should be expendable if you are going to commit it to an attack.

Captured? Looks like it was salvaged or recovered rather than captured.

"Offensive tank used defensively", this guy just exposed the US's thought process.

This guy is a military genius! And like all geniuses under appreciated in his time! What don’t you trolls in the comments understand?!?! 1) the Ukrainian Abrahams tank is no outdated!! There are just newer and better ones available. You obviously don’t know what outdated means! 2) the Ukrainians will never use the Abrahams as well as the Americans. It doesn’t matter how much you fight a war you can’t get experience. And as you know you can’t export experience either. They gave these things away like toys! 3) f16s won’t change anything. Why are you all so worried??? You can’t export experience or get it either! 4) if you have a good nose you can smell an Abrahams tank from along way away! 5) a quarter of the American tanks have been destroyed. That’s 8 tanks. A quarter of the Russian tanks have also been destroyed. That’s 2500 or so. So it’s pretty much an even fight

The reality is that no matter how good vehicle you have, it would be destroyed by 500$ drone. The same way I think an aircraft carrier is outdated as well, but we don't have a situation, where it would be easily destroyed by supersonic missiles or so. And I hope we will never have.

Hmmm, so a Russian-born reporter who formerly worked for RT is interviewingy a former Marine who stayed in Russia for years to cure his PTSD, and who has no experience with tanks, and both are somehow allowed in the fence and to touch the tank (touching burnt tanks can be very harmful). Castellon says the Ukrainians used the tank poorly because it is an offensive weapon and they used it defensively. No, the Abrams tank, like many MBTs, is an all-round fighting platform which can be used for many roles. Western advisors would have wanted the tanks to be used in breakthrough offensives. The problem is Russian defenses prevent the tanks from attacking en masse. They pile mines (this Abrams was most likely destroyed by mines, judging by the tracks) and use artillery and drones. To make that kind of breakthrough, Ukraine would need combined warfare capabilities including a strong air force, which it doesn't have, to damage Russian active defenses and allow for demining. The infantry-artillery-cavalry trinity essential for a war is not present here, which is reminiscent of WW1, when cavalry couldn't operate properly on the Western Front (they ultimately perfected infantry-artillery coordination and through attrition weakened the Germans sufficiently as to advance; tanks had a very limited role). Some people say that the use of drones is making tanks obsolete, but it is simply a question of time before countermeasures are installed. If the Trophy system can intercept incoming rockets, they certainly can produce anti-drone systems.

On 26 February, Russian forces west of Avdiivka destroyed the first M1A1 Abrams tank of the war. Like the loss of the first Challenger 2 near Robotyne last September the event has provoked widespread commentary. So far 5 of 31 Abrams tanks have been lost! (As of April 2024)

the war is basically a testing ground for NATO tech against Russian tech.

The long standing truth in tank warfare; “The weakest part of any tank is the crew inside.”

To think that tank is outdated is plain dumb. Its a freakin killing machine. That being said, it is now fighting more modern weapon systems with way less capable crews. Under substandard tactical leadership. The M1 is a one shot, one kill at speed on a moving target and at a greater range than most of what it faces. When you have seen what it can do with your own eyes like I have, I mean the results of pulling the trigger on that main gun, then you know its not outdated.

@@user-ek3jv9sr1d Ahuh, do you know what's more believable than news papers? Hours of footage of Russian tanks being destroyed with zero infantry support and some of the worst tactics I've ever seen in armoured combat. If they can't protect against drones, they shouldn't be using tanks. A simple electronic warfare package installed on each tank would fix that issue altogether.

Everyone acts like American vehicles are supposed to be invincible. At the end of the day theyre just tanks, they get hit and destroyed just like any other tank.

It's war and all the equipment used can be destroyed and so is this tank. Found on the internet that at least 7 of the 31 Abrams tanks were destroyed or in Ukraine. This does not mean that the tank is bad, even if this tank is the best in the world, it can be destroyed, so I do not understand this amazement and attributing the destruction of the tank to the fact that the crew is not well trained. Even if they had been handled by experienced American tank drivers, some would still have been destroyed, especially since this tank was a treat for the Russian army and they looked for it with special care, and a monetary reward was offered for its destruction. According to the claims of Russian soldiers on the Internet, it was more difficult for them to destroy the German Leopard than the American Abrams. If the Russians had engaged the much-vaunted Armata in the fight, it would have been destroyed as well. No one should get carried away by the omnipotence of their weapons, history has shown that. Just remember the appearance of the MiG-15 in Korea or the MiG 19 and 21 in Vietnam.

​@@andorisunray4541 Just like most of the Russian tanks on Ukraine battlefield.

The main battle tank as a weapon is obsolete. This fact is proving hard to swallow, particularly in British and American military circles. The German and American governments were reluctant to supply Leopards and Abrams tanks, not because they would be a step too far in provoking Russia, but because they knew they'd be defeated, just as they were in Yemen and Syria. It doesn't matter who's on the inside of the turret, short of making the tanks invisible, they're going to be defeated by modern ATGM of one form or another. The Challenger is perhaps the best armoured of all tanks and that's also been defeated. History is littered with examples of intransigence in military doctrine and continuing faith in the MBT is the latest case in point. Technology is handing power back to the dismounted soldier - the "poor bloody infantry" are becoming the Kings of the battlefield once again.

Russia's tank losses are wildly inflated. The Abrams was only in battle very short while before they started getting killed and only 1 was lost in a tank duel, the others were lost to rockets and drones.

Claim it took Russia three (03) years to capture leopard, abraham tanks is a blue lie. The analysis must 😅start by responding to the question: when were these tanks introduced on the Ukrainian war front?

Okay but that is an outdated Abrams... You can tell by the wheels in the back. The modern Abrams drive wheels near the engine bay are smaller and thinner but on this outdated Abrams the wheel is one of the larger ones that were put on the very first M1A1's made.

Two things with the tanks One: Abrams is very much not outdated, it is not considered outdated, and considering five at most have been destroyed or knocked out, does not suggest they are outdated. Two: They have only been there for a couple of months, since August last year. So, the Russian losses is not nearly as bad when you compare like that, but it is still the fact Russia has lost at least 600 tanks since August, so it is very much a joke to be blunt

Challengers, Leopards, T72s, Abram’s, T90’s, whatever… it makes no difference without the right crew AND the right artillery and air support. Those tanks never had a chance to prove themselves in battle for the simple reason that the Russians were able to pound them with artillery, FPV drones, mines, and KA-52’s, while the Ukrainians didn’t have any way to counter them. In the summer counteroffensive, the Ukrainians literally sent Bradley’s and Leo’s into minefields without air support. The Abram’s tank being displayed was sent into a Russian artillery pocket.
