Ukraine's M1A1 Abrams Tanks Nearly Wiped Out .. After Ukraine began to 
receive M1A1 Abrams tanks from the United States in September 2023, they
were first seen deployed on February 23, 2024, with the first loss then
confirmed just three days afterwards. This was followed by a succession
of further losses over the next two months, culminating in a temporary
withdrawal from the frontlines in April. After the tanks were again
deployed, they again suffered high rates of losses .. The Abrams' 
effectiveness has increasingly been questioned .. Ukrainian personnel 
have highlighted their dissatisfaction with the Abrams' performance ..

....

It should be added that the Kiev regime's military tried to use these 
tanks as carefully as possible, as the American patrons demanded so in 
order to keep the image. Nonetheless the "advanced" American tech turned
out pretty shoddy in practical use. That's yet one of many elements
indicating the progressive American decline.
