The Abrams is a solid weapon. More than likely it’s the personnel operating it.

ETA drones are a relatively new battle weapon and no Tech is really immune

The article was about Abrams tanks vs. Russian tanks.

The paradigm shift is because of the use of drones to keep the tanks away from the front of the battlefield.

Times change. Warfare changes.

The tool doesn’t do you much good if you are too incompetent to use it properly

More of our money wasted, whatever the reason for the failure may be.

Tanks are becoming obsolete with relatively cheap drones and missiles

It would suck to be infantry knowing that there is a drone that could just drop a grenade on you.

That’s relatively cheap. I’d have bet it was much more.

Tanks are a liability when the other side has air superiority. It’s that simple.

We have motorpools around the country filled with old Abrams. I'm assuming the cost being reported is the cost to have them kitted up and altered for use in Ukraine. This has never been anything but a way to send more money to the MIC.

1500 drone light show. What's the military potential.
