Ukraine forced to withdraw US tanks as Russia destroys five Abrams in bloody battle
The battlefield has changed substantially since the US agreed to deploy the tanks - notably by the ubiquitous use of Russian surveillance drones and hunter-killer drones.
Ukraine has sidelined US-provided Abrams M1A1 battle tanks for now in its fight against Russia, in part because Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult for them to operate without detection or coming under attack, two US military officials have said.
The US agreed to send 31 Abrams to Ukraine in January 2023 after an aggressive months-long campaign by Kyiv arguing that the tanks were vital to its ability to breach Russian lines.
