American Abrams tanks were redesigned for a special version, designated "ukr", before being sent to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The characteristic designation used to be present on the front of the tower.

However, now the letters applied to the armor are hidden by containers of the dynamic protection "Kontakt -1" developed back in the Soviet Union.

As it turned out, the durability of the frontal projections is insufficient, but such a field upgrade does not help, and the M1A1S burn as well as before. According to some reports, more than twenty units out of thirty-one tanks delivered from overseas have already been destroyed.

Over the weekend, a photo of another damaged "Abrashi" appeared on social networks. As they write, a 152-mm high-precision Krasnopol projectile hit him, causing damage not previously seen on other tanks.

So, the knockout panels above the compartment at the back of the tower, where the shells are stored, were completely demolished. The commander's turret with a remote-controlled machine gun was torn off, the second hatch was blocked by a "grill". In addition, the tank fell into a ditch and was abandoned. Surely those inside were at least injured or injured.
