Ukraine is threatened with a serious loss of Avdiivka: Kiev is therefore taking the risk of tanks. A video that is being eagerly shared on X (formerly Twitter) shows the loss of a Bradley tank.

The U.S. only delivered 31 Abrams to the Ukrainian armed forces. Because of their enormous weight of over 61 tons, the steel colossi are considered to be manageably suitable for combat on the muddy ground of the Ukrainian winter. The American tanks have received additional protection against anti-tank weapons with reactive armor. The Russians have long since identified a weak point in the Abrams tank.
