As of September 15, roughly 2/3rds (20 out of 31) of all M1A1SA tanks in Ukraine were either destroyed, captured or disabled. The Abrams had problems in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack. Those weapons have made it more difficult for Ukraine to protect the tanks when they are quickly detected and hunted by Russian drones or rounds.

The U.S.supplied M1A1SA have recently been in the thick of the action, including contributing to the Ukrainian incursion into Russia’s Kursk region. Also involved have been examples of Ukraine’s other higher-end tank types, including the Challenger 2, Leopard 2, and T-80.
