State-of-the-art M1 Abrams tanks will shortly make their battlefield debut in Ukraine, as the United States has confirmed that it will deliver the first batch in September.
These armored beasts outclass any hardware that Russians can muster, so Russian tank crews would do well to flee now while they have a chance. An Abrams’ depleted uranium shell can punch a hole in Russian armor up to 4km away. If it enters the crew’s cabin, the projectile creates a deadly firestorm of white-hot gases and sparks, immediately carbonizing any human being inside.
In total, Ukraine will receive 31 Abrams. Ukrainian crews are currently training in Germany.
Any tanks damaged in combat can be quickly repaired at a purpose-built facility in Poznan in Poland.
