RUSSIA HAS DECIMATED UKRAINE’S M1 ABRAMS FLEET
>Despite the Abrams’ key capabilities, the older M1 models delivered to Ukraine have struggled to survive against Russia’s more advanced arsenal of anti-tank weaponry.
>A staggering 87 percent of Ukraine’s fleet of M1 Abrams main battle tanks (MBTs) has been destroyed, captured or lost since the series was first delivered to the frontlines of the ongoing war last year. According to Military Watch Magazine, 27 out of the 31 vehicles delivered to Kyiv are no longer in commission. The United States and several of its NATO allies initially pledged to bolster Ukraine’s defensive objectives by providing a slew of tanks. In addition to the American-made Abrams, the German-made Leopard and the British-made Challenger II were also delivered to support Kyiv amidst the ongoing invasion.
> Although the Abrams MBT series is widely considered to be one of the most sophisticated and reliable armored vehicles in service today, the platform has struggled in Ukraine. A host of issues, ranging from Ukraine’s lack of air and artillery support and lack of technical and mechanical expertise to manpower and equipment shortfalls, have contributed to the Abrams’ ineffectiveness on the front lines.
>The most prominent feature of the Abrams platform is its survivability. The Chobham armor incorporated into the tanks’ exterior is incredibly thick and performs particularly well against HEAT rounds and other shaped charges. Notably, the Abrams MBTs are equipped with two feet of this armor, significantly more than the four inches of armor provided on the earlier M60 platform.
>Over the years, the Abrams has seen some serious upgrades, too. The tank’s upgrades have included the addition of the Inter-Vehicle Information System, an onboard Position/Navigation system, and the Trophy active protection system. This impressive defense system protects the MBTs from a range of projectiles.
