Ukraine withdraws Abrams tanks from the battlefield
Ukraine withdraws American tanks “Abrams M1A1” from the front line. One of the reasons is the use of drones by Russia.
In January 2023, the Ukrainian armed forces received 31 Abrams tanks from the United States, and they were used to break through the defenses of the Russian army.
However, during this time the situation on the ground changed, Russia began to actively use reconnaissance and attack drones, which made it difficult for Ukraine to protect tanks.
