It is an older model, but it seems Biden's laundry mat is now using Abrams. I think they waited because the heavy beasts use a lot of fuel, but it is just as likely that the US didn't want the embarrassing losses. The Challengers suffered their first loses in history, and the UK are not happy.

This sucks. All the western armor - Challengers, Leopards, Bradley's and Abrams - should have been used along a defense belt and the greatest counter offensive in history should never have happened. The Ukrainians should have dug in and built defenses like Russia did and then begin peace talks.

Our leaders who forced the "counter offensive" and forced the peace talks to be cancelled, are evil.

It appears evil and ineptitude are "hand and glove" with the installed regime and their NATO partners.

At this point I wish they would level Kiev and piss on the ashes. Taking selfies in front of the rubble and send it straight to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

What are you talking about? My liberal neighbor told me last night that Ukraine is winning and Russia is bankrupt.

Retards on here told me it was over 2 years ago.



Who cares? No money for anyone until border is secured.

The problem isn’t the equipment it’s the fact Ukraine doesn’t have the resources to maintain it nor do they have people properly trained on how to use it

It’s like taking someone who drives a Altima and sticking them in a nascar race car.

Yes it is.

Tanks are useless when drones, missiles, rpgs,etc are available.

Eta: Even hamas is taking out the Isreali merkava tank that has some of the best armor in the world.

I suggest you expand your news sources. Not useless at all.

There have been plenty of articles about anti-drone protection on IDF armor. Missiles and RPGs have been a thing, for a long time, if you haven't noticed. Panzerfaust much?

What do you opine on the drones dropping grenades in trenches on infantry? Trenches and infantry irrelevant!

Can't wait for Biden to meet his maker and Zelensky to join him in Hell.

Correct, it would take multiple rpg rounds however but the tank is pretty ineffective without air cover and they have none

Panzerfaust isn’t comparable to the newest rpg variant by any stretch of the imagination and Ukraine lacks operators who have enough experience in the field to impact the war in a meaningful way

You're a special person. I can't imagine that tanks have evolved since 1945. Reactive armor, etc.

I don't dispute that at all. But put the blame on the lack of effective combat arms tactics, ADA, etc., and not on the vehicle. These aren't exploding Pintos.

Ukraine is not winning this war. The MSM media is outright liars. More money to come from the U.S.

The first tank was taken out by a Krasnopol shell. It was under observation by a drone which was probably integrated into the artillery unit.
