Ukraine pulls US-Made M1 Abrams tanks from the front lines
WASHINGTON (AP, 26 Apr 2024) — Ukraine has sidelined the Abrams M1A1 battle tanks because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two U.S. military officials told The Associated Press.
The U.S. send 31 Abrams to Ukraine in January 2023 which cost about US$10 million apiece. But the battlefield has changed substantially since then, notably by use of Russian surveillance drones and hunter-killer drones. Five of the 31 tanks have already been lost to Russian attacks.
