it’s the Abrams’ filters that might prove to be the biggest headaches for Ukrainian troops. Twice a day, an M-1 crew must rev its tank’s engine to high revolutions-per-minute in order to trigger a pulse-jet system that blasts air out of the tank rather than into it, shooting dust and debris from the back grille.
That keeps the filters clean across lengthy deployments. Before the Americans added the pulse-jet system to the M-1, in the early 2000s, tank crews—especially those fighting in the desert—openly complained about their vehicles’ reliability.
“Army officials are aware of the problems with high fuel consumption, unreliable fuel pumps and sand-ingestion,” the U.S. Government Accountability Office reported in 1992. “They are working on solutions.”
The solution to the sand-ingestion problem was the twice-a-day pulse-jet cleaning process. It works just fine, as long as crews rigorously adhere to its schedule. Even when they’re getting shot at.
"All those things can be taught to the crew, but if ever they make a mistake—and they will—it blows a million-dollar engine that can't be repaired in the field," Mark Hertling, a retired U.S. Army general

Ukrainian military apparently received the #M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) built on the framework of #Abrams tanks
The assault breacher is set to play a crucial role in assisting Ukrainian troops in the daunting task of clearing the extensive network of #minefields established by the Russian forces over hundreds of kilometers

#Ucraina, gli #Abrams “sono un flop, scivolano sulla neve". Cosa sappiamo sui carri armati americani

So #Russia is claiming to have destroyed an M1 #Abrams tank in #Ukraine. They even have a photo to "prove" it.
There's several problems with this claim.
The first is that while the US has sent M1A1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, they only just received them and haven't actually deployed them in the field yet.
The second is that the photo the Russians are showing off as "proof" is of an M1 destroyed by friendly-fire in Iraq during the Gulf War 20 years ago.
This is like the video Russia showed off of an alleged #Leopard tank being destroyed in Ukraine. Everyone who saw the video and knew what they were looking at said "Dude, THAT'S NOT EVEN A TANK."

Minister @rustem_umerov: #Abrams, welcome to 🇺🇦!
#controffensiva
È stato lo stesso #Budanov, capo dell'#intelligence militare #ucraina, ad avvertire che gli #Abrams dovranno essere impiegati "in modo molto mirato, per operazioni molto specifiche e ben congegnate", o rischiano di essere distrutti. Se venissero semplicemente inviati in prima linea per cercare di perforare le difese russe, ha detto la settimana scorsa in un'intervista a un sito militare americano, "non vivranno molto a lungo sul campo di battaglia".

In his nightly address to the nation President #Zelensky confirmed the arrival of the first #US-provided #Abrams main battle tanks which he categorized as “a significant reinforcement… to our actions against the occupiers.”
The main thrust of his speech was, however, the need in the longer term for Ukraine to be able to produce its own advanced weapons: “To guarantee #Ukraine’s security... we will build all the necessary production facilities step by step.”

The U.S. will provide Ukraine with an additional $325 million in military aid, President Joe #Biden announced Thursday during a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr #Zelenskyy.
"Today I approved the next tranche of U.S. security assistance to Ukraine including more artillery, more ammunition, more anti-tank weapons and next week, the first U.S. #Abrams tanks will be delivered to Ukraine," Biden said.

US Expects to begin delivering Abrams tanks to Ukraine in September — POLITICO
U.S. #Abrams #tanks are likely to arrive on the Ukrainian battlefield in September, according to six people familiar with the planning, as Kyiv’s forces push to retake territory in a counteroffensive that is picking up steam.
The plan is to send a handful of Abrams tanks to #Germany in August, where they will undergo final refurbishments. Once that process is complete, the first batch of Abrams will be shipped to #Ukraine the following month.

The Nomination of Elliott Abrams Is a Stain on Joe Biden’s Human Rights Record
Elliott Abrams is one of America’s worst living human rights abusers.
Abrams, best known for facilitating and covering up many years of grisly human rights atrocities racked up over the course of the Reagan administration’s covert wars on the Left in Central America.
Abrams “practices the Doberman Pinscher school of diplomacy.”

Sehr interessantes Detail: Politico behauptet, mit einem Berater von Scholz gesprochen zu haben, der ihnen erklärt habe, dass Scholz die US-#Abrams-Panzer-Zusage haben wollte, damit sich die USA nicht aus einer potentiellen Eskalation des Krieges zurückziehen könnten, sondern dann 'im selben Boot' wären und damit US-Kriegsbeteiligung quasi garantiert wäre.
