3 Abrams is correct, 8 Bradleys sounds about right, but I didn’t hear anything about HIMARS. It is odd that they’re not bragging about the Ukraine confirmed loss of a Patriot system (albeit not the radar but two launchers). I mean, that’s what they’ve been claiming forever. Maybe because they said they destroyed all of them already and can’t now claim destroying any actually?
Fucking weirdos. Still, compared to Russian losses in manpower and vehicles, this is nothing. For the numbers that Ukraine has, it’s not insignificant for sure. The main thing and difference between Russian losses and Ukraine losses is that the crews often survive the loss of the vehicles on the Ukrainian side, whereas Russia loses both vehicle and crew.
There is a video showing the destruction of a HIMARS, seems genuine, sadly so.
Did the crews live? That’s all that matters
THANKS GOP, you fucking chodes are giving the russians an edge by blocking artillery.
Let’s not forget now, these aren’t exactly new equipment. And that’s a long period of time and a small amount of destruction for such a protracted engagement from a superpower.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
On Wednesday, Russia said its forces had destroyed a U.S.-made Abrams tank operated by Ukraine close to the captured eastern city of Avdiivka, which Moscow has controlled since mid-February.
Moscow claimed it knocked out a first Abrams tank in late February, and said on Monday that it had taken out a second one during clashes around villages west of Avdiivka.
Analysts say the handful of tanks are a boost to Ukraine’s stocks, but they came in too small a quantity to make a real difference to Kyiv’s war effort.
Fighters deployed around Avdiivka earlier this year told Newsweek that Russian armored vehicle crews were “afraid” to launch operations “when they know that a Bradley will be against them.”
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said it destroyed a Ukrainian Bradley infantry fighting vehicle on the eastern frontlines around Avdiivka.
Videos shared by open-source intelligence accounts in recent days also appear to show an Abrams tank in flames.
The original article contains 436 words, the summary contains 157 words. Saved 64%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
The “: Moscow” attribution tells you everything about how useless this headline is
Remember when they said they had destroyed a bunch of bradleys even before any had been shipped to Ukraine?
Sadly this time it seems to be at least somewhat accurate.
There’s been atleast 3 confirmed Abrams lost and atleast 1 HIMARS. Seems likely that they may have gotten a few Patriot launchers aswell.
how hard could that be… I could do that with just one nuclear bomb…
