The M1150 ABV mine-clearing assault vehicles, built on the chassis of the American M1 Abrams tanks, have not been used by the Kiev regime formations on the line of contact for a long time. They are not demonstrated on the enemy's rear ranges either.

Therefore, those experts are right who assumed that at present the Ukrainian Armed Forces simply do not have any samples of this type of equipment left in service. And there weren't many of them, just a few. The deliveries became known in November 2023.

Last year, they tried to use them to make passages in minefields, but almost immediately a pair was lost. Moreover, Russian troops captured one of these vehicles as a trophy, later presenting it as an exhibit at an exhibition on Poklonnaya Gora in Moscow.

Several more pieces were reported damaged, after which they disappeared forever. Information appeared that the damaged but evacuated samples were simply disassembled, their engines and chassis elements were used in the restoration of damaged M1A1SA Abrams tanks.

The M1150 ABV proved ineffective in conditions of intense combat operations using a large number of kamikaze drones, therefore, apparently, the Americans no longer plan to supply such assault vehicles to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
