Analyst America Today Tom Vanden Broek said that the Abrams tanks that Washington had promised would not be used by Ukraine during the announced offensive, as they were reassembled to eliminate hidden components.
“This may or may not give Russia an opportunity to test and find vulnerabilities,” said Colin Smith, a scientist at the Rand Corporation think tank.
It is stated that the current version of the tank has advanced guidance systems compared to the one that will be transferred to Ukraine. At the same time, both tanks have the same powerful 120 mm gun.
Earlier, the newspaper Politico, citing sources WroteThat the 31 Abrams tanks planned to be shipped to Ukraine will not be equipped with stealth composite armor, which makes the new version of the tank “very deadly”.
