    Total Loser: M1A1 Abrams Tank (Ukraine War)

    A Total Loser: The M1A1 Abrams Tank in the Ukraine War
    Russian social media is running wild with images of an American M1A1 Abrams Main Battle Tank (MBT) being captured by the Russian Army fighting in Ukraine. According to these Russian sources (take from them what you will), the Abrams in question is being sent back to Moscow to be reverse-engineered. Indeed, this is hardly the first American Abrams captured by Russian forces fighting in Ukraine.

    As Military Watch Magazine has assessed, since September, “the rate at which Ukrainian forces have been losing Abrams tanks has increased significantly.”

    And it isn’t just the Abrams MBT that has struggled in the muddy, blood-soaked killing fields of Ukraine. Most of the other classes of NATO MBTs have either been destroyed or rendered useless in Ukraine’s fight against the invading Russians. Even the much-ballyhooed German-built Leopard 2A6 MBTs have not fared as their proponents in NATO claimed they would.

    An Incredibly Poor Performance

    Most independent analysts assess that of the thirty-one Abrams tanks handed over to Ukraine, an astonishing twenty of them have been destroyed within the first year of their deployment to Ukraine. According to Military Watch Magazine, most of the kills that the Russians have enjoyed over the Abrams tanks have been conducted by the ubiquitous “kamikaze” unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that both sides in the war have been using to terrorize each other.

    My choice of third person pronouns for myself is generally irrelevant. I'm not typically involved in the conversations that use them. It's other people referring to me in the third person, usually from a distance. I'm not a conversational partner in those exchanges. Those people could be referring to me as "That A$$hole" or "That Motherfukker" for all I know.

    Everybody thought the Russians were stupid for losing $1 million tanks to $250,000 U.S. "javelin" missiles but not Ukraine is losing $4.3 million tanks to $35,000 Russian "lancet" drones.
