Russia will respond with “Breakthrough” for the supply of Abrams tanks to Kyiv
Russia responded with the power of the T-90M “Breakthrough” tanks to supply Kyiv with the American “Abramsov”, military expert Vasily Dandykin said.
Russia has a response to the supply of American Abrams tanks to Kyiv. About it “Radio 1“Said military expert Vasily Dandykin.
The Abrams is the accomplished battle tank of the US military. However, it is crammed with electronics and weighs over 60 tons. In addition, the machine runs on aviation fuel, which complicates maintenance.
It is unlikely that Washington will transfer modern tank modifications to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In addition, deliveries are expected closer to May.
The Russian Armed Forces have T-90M “Proryv” tanks, which are selected from the best in the world. They are lighter and more maneuverable than the Abrams and Leopard-2.
Western supplies inevitably provoke an escalation of the conflict on the ground, but the Russian army detects an offensive on the ground.
“New weapons have also been seized in our army, probably the most powerful reserve among those mobilized,” the expert said.
As military expert Anatoly Matviychuk added, Abrams tanks move well on asphalt and heavy ground. But the problems start in the snow and swampy terrain, and this storage of armored vehicles is worth the electronics located behind the tower.
“The tank shows up very strongly – it’s really a helicopter, requires special fuel and disappears behind it.360“.
As stated RIA FAN military observer Alexei Sukonkin, there are currently no repair and maintenance units in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, items can be entrusted with the maintenance of American tanks. The U.S. tank battalion includes a dedicated ARV platoon, which includes unloading the fearful Abrams from the field. However, the Ukrainian army does not have vehicles designed to evacuate 70-ton tanks.
According to calculations, eight ARVs serve about 100 tanks. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are provided with eight vehicles and 31 tanks, so we can conclude that Washington can provide more tanks to Kyiv later.
“Representatives of the Pentagon, who do not expect great success from their combat vehicles, handed over to Ukrainian tankers, are certainly right in something.
