Ukraine Loses Nearly All US Abrams Tanks Amid Russian Attacks

Multiple sources report that the majority of the 31 US-supplied M1 Abrams tanks delivered to Ukraine have been destroyed or disabled, leaving only a handful operational. Russian military actions and drone warfare have made it increasingly difficult for these tanks to operate safely, leading Ukrainian commanders to pull the remaining vehicles from frontline service. Open-source tracking and various analyses confirm at least 22 Abrams tanks lost, with some captured and displayed by Russian forces. Meanwhile, Russian tank forces have nearly depleted their reserves, relying increasingly on older or refurbished models and unarmored vehicles, signaling a decline in their armored capabilities. Despite ongoing Russian attacks, including drone strikes causing civilian casualties, Ukrainian forces continue to resist, although heavy losses on both sides persist. The situation underscores the evolving dynamics and attrition in armored warfare amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict.
