Why USA's invincible M1A1 Abrams tanks will never make it to Ukraine?
Not because its "turbine engine" [!?] guzzles fuel like a leaking airplane motor making the Abrams need to be refueled every 6-8 hours.. making it completely undeployable in resources-stricken Ukraine..
Also Not because its way too heavy:
Abrams is so heavy it would collapse most Ukrainian bridges, especially if more than one Abrams tried to cross them.. The new M1A2 Abrams SEPV3 variant sold to Poland
weighs 74 tons!!
In comparison, Russia's newest Armata tank - now widely employed on the Eastern Ukrainian frontlines - weighs only 55 tons! Because Russian military tech is made for real war, not for PR as the West makes tanks - and newest Russian tanks remain perfectly deployable in Ukraine. |

Back to the undeployable Abrams:
No.. No.. No..
..those are just "minor" issues which would make deployment of Abrams into Ukraine a little bit impossible..
THE MAIN REASON IS: from videotime 16:27, title:
Industrial Warfare Thinking, drumroll please
you won't believe this:
..the M1A1 Abrams tank - costing over $900,000 a piece - , is defeated by $20 worth of household items and scrap metal rendered into an explosively-formed projectile - by those sand people running around in sandals - Pentagons Joint Improvised Threat Defeat Organization has a library full of examples like these...
This is the real reason:
Why Ukraine pleads for tanks that The West holds back?
Why is the West holding back their Almighty Invincible tanks?
This is why! An almost 1 million dollar
Legendary USA Main Battle Tank[sic] is effectively rendered inoperable ==> blown up by a 20 dollar, improvised explosive!
Training issue:
It takes 6 months to properly train a newbie tank operator, who has no battlefield experience at all. Then you cannot just put these newbies into a tank,
you need an experienced veteran Tank Commander, who has seen battle many times and KNOWS, how the tank operates in battle and what needs to be done to survive and keep fighting effectively and not lose that tank!!
For example those long tank barrels can only endure 1500 shots, then they need to be REPLACED!
Did you know that?
Ukraine can surely train tank crews in weeks showing them, how to drive a tank and how to shoot, but that is the very same as Hitler sending 15 year olds with RPG
grenade launchers into battle in WW2.
M1A2 = the redesigned Abrams tank also sold to Poland.Its
new features include ==> a
completely upgraded ARMOR! Did the Poles also read the "The Joint Improvised Threat Defeat Organization made in USA" report -
-, how easily the Abrams is defeated by sand people clothed in rags running around in sandals??
Earlier, Poland signed a deal with South Korea for 1000 Korean K2 tanks. Poland only plans to buy & ship over from South Korea directly the first couple pieces, then they want
to build factories in Poland to build these Korean tanks there, in Poland, sharing necessary technology.
This ought to provide Polish people with jobs as well making it a temporary Psycho Government solution..
While
Polish Prime minister advised Poles to collect firewood from forests, because the Polish People are freezing to death and the Poor, Starving Polish Weapons Manufacturer Elite Oligarchs desperately need new villas and luxury cars for their families!
The deal covers the purchase of 1,000 K2 tanks, 672 K9 self-propelled howitzers, and 48 FA-50PL light combat aircraft, with production benefits for Poland as well.
BTW: Not only massive amount of Polish howitzers and other military hardware is now shooting is Ukraine - and the Russians are destroying them - but many-many Polish soldiers are directly participating in battle. With Romanian, German mercenaries as well.
