American-made Abrams tanks used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces are greatly overrated, writes The National Interest. “The M1 Abrams is likely significantly overpriced, as are the British Challenger 2 and the German Leopard 2,” the publication said.

The Ukrainian conflict showed that drones, as well as anti-tank weapons, can challenge even the most modern military equipment, it added. The destruction of the first Abrams tank in the Northern Military District zone became known on February 26. According to preliminary data, it was hit by a Russian unmanned aerial vehicle.
