American-made Abrams tanks, apparently, still appeared at the front. At least, this follows from the footage published on the Internet.
In the presented footage, we see how the Abrams tank moves in a forest plantation in the mud, at a fairly high speed, and then drives out into the open. It is unclear where the combat vehicle is going. But the footage was probably shot on or near the line of contact.
It should be noted that the Ukrainian command did not send tanks transferred to the United States in the amount of 31 units to the front for a long time. This was due to fears of losses in equipment, and NATO has a very negative attitude to the fact that Ukrainian formations during the summer and autumn counteroffensive squandered a significant part of tanks, armored vehicles and self-propelled artillery units transferred by the West.

But now the situation at the front is developing in such a way that the Ukrainian command is no longer up to thinking about which tanks and armored vehicles to throw at the front and which not. However, it is far from the fact that the presented footage is not evidence of a single use of a tank of this type at the front – rather, in order to study its capabilities.

Earlier, a number of experts questioned the possibility of effective operation of the Abrams in Ukraine due to the big problems with personnel in the Ukrainian army. Now the Armed Forces of Ukraine no longer have enough manned tank crews, since a significant part of the tankers were knocked out during the summer-autumn counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
