There have been others Abrams destroyed in Ukraine. The huge heat signature of the Abrams makes them easily visible to Russian targeting satellites. They are then totally vulnerable to missile and drone attacks. When the men inside them figure this out, they may refuse to start them up.
Typical vehicle ground warfare against a major state actor is way past its prime. The US could defeat Russian conventional forces in about 3 weeks. Tanks are for victory parades.
It’s all about the rules. Change the rules and the ISIS caliphate is quickly wiped out. Change the rules in Afghanistan and no more American soldiers died. Change the rules again and the Taliban was allowed to mass and take over city after city. Our Air Force loves massed targets. Non massed targets were a problem for our military, but we have a very good solution now. You put up long endurance drones to watch and use small, cheap kamikazi drones to take them out.
The age of armored warfare is over just like the age of the battleship ended prior to WW2. Todays stand off attack weapons + drone and satellite tech make tanks death traps.
"For 5 days, the M1 ABRAMS tank was hiding in the landing and waiting for its release.
The enemy often showed videos of the “invincible” tank rolling along the entire front line and firing shots. But the reality is that after receiving the “Battle” command, the legendary ABRAMS was destroyed as soon as it left cover.
This next victory over the enemy is the merit of our guys, who discovered and eliminated it.
The strike was carried out by the FPV crew, and the platoon commander with the call sign “Kolovrat”.
Reputation damage has been done, that's a fact.
The same fate befell Bradley's M2, Challenger, and Leopard. There is no equipment that the Russian Warrior cannot destroy."

No contest it would seem!

I was only aware of one other, which was a mine laying/clearing (not sure which - maybe both) system installed on an Abram chassis.
Stacy Abrams gonna be back in the news? "Stacy's mom has got it going on..."
Maybe we exported some of the ones made with crappy metal that McCain was involved with
They were given old M1A variants that were probably built in the mid to late 80's. These have ZERO chance against Russia.
You know what they say about tanks... it's not how big they are... it's how the driver maneuvers them.
Who is driving these?

The US couldn't defeat sandal wearing illiterates with AKs.

The Taliban didn't have nukes or submarines.
The rub with Russia is the nukes in any war scenario. China’s supply of nukes is quite limited so there’s a different equation.

is that why the USMC has purged tanks from their order of battle?
Most likely.
Kinda looks like video game footage

I believe that the footage is real.
A well made tool is only as effective as the hands in which it is held....
The remaining Ukrainian Conscripts are likely old men, or teenagers who have barely obtained their driver cards....
Much like the youths that the Iranian mullahs strap explosives to and send into places populated with women and children.
who are you to doubt our government and what they tell us, brother?
