A Ukrainian Abrams burns after being hit by Russian artillery
Military Watch Magazine – May 5, 2024
The Ukrainian Army has lost a further M1A1 Abrams tank in combat with Russian forces, as confirmed by newly released drone footage, with the vehicle abandoned by its crew shortly after taking a hit. The tank was neutralised with a single shot from a 2K25 Krasnopol precision-guided artillery rounds, which is fired from Russian 152mm guns and uses fin-stabilization, base bleed-assistance, semi-automatic laser-guidance for high precision. Deployed from self propelled guns such as the 2S3 Akatsiya and 2S19 Msta-S, the rounds were developed from the 1980s to facilitate engagements against targets such as enemy artillery guns and tanks, and have seen their capabilities improved considerably since entering service in 1986. Russian forces have neutralised Abrams tanks using a range of assets, with prior footage released on March 6 during a period of higher intensity combat showing one of the vehicles being destroyed by a Russian Army tank – a T-72B3 – which is a heavily upgraded Soviet built vehicle integrating the new 2A46M-5 125mm smoothbore gun and 21st century munition types and fire controls.
The Ukrainian Army in late April withdrew its Abrams tanks from frontline positions due to concerns regarding their vulnerability to Russian strikes. A U.S. military source cited by the AP news agency observed that due to advances in Russian targeting capabilities “there isn’t open ground that you can just drive across without fear of detection,” with another source noting that “Russian drone warfare has made it too difficult” for Abrams tanks “to operate without detection or coming under attack.” Vice Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Christopher Grady provided further details on the Ukrainian Army’s decision, informing AP: “When you think about the way the fight has evolved, massed armour in an environment where unmanned aerial systems are ubiquitous can be at risk.” Abrams tanks were first confirmed to have been deployed for combat by drone footage released on February 23, which was followed three days later by the confirmed destruction of the first tank. Alongside heavy losses, one Abrams tank and one M1150 ABV Assault Breacher Vehicle, closely based on the Abrams chassis are confirmed to have been captured by Russian forces.
Only ONE shot to blast the ‘Best’est Tank in Da Whirld’?
Anything recoverable will probably be dumped in Moscow’s ‘Victory Park’ with the remains of Germany’s Leopard tanks and the heap of Britain’s “game changing” Challengers!
LMFAO!!!😂
Elite greed finished off the west. They off-shored manufacturing so they could produce goods for first world markets and pay third world wages. Try telling China send us war stuff so we can threaten Russia then you.
They exported the first world, import the dreck, then blamed Gen-Z.
Yes..incredible..
Direct artillery strike..Takes out tank (tin coffin)…
who woulda thunk?…that a tank would be vulnerable to direct artillery strikes…not them..
Obviously..
Well it’s one for the top trumps crowd of z anoners..(if you remember TT.. if you don’t, unfortunately for you, you are probably an irredeemable imbecile or perhaps even worse a millennial, or at worst a boomer and if neither, probably a pansexual cross dressing zedder with mental health ‘issues’..which of course doesn’t count for anything because you will soon be dead)..
welcome to whiteocide
I’ve posted many times previously that this generation of warfare and weapons will ultimatelybe fought with AI , drones etc.
However, it appears clear that the Banksters, Politicians and Military Industrial Complex will fight WW3 with WW2 weapons and strategy. They want maximum death and destruction to cull the herd and build and supply ca$h cow$ such as tanks, fighter jets, guns, aircraft carriers etc. ie easy targets.
I was watching a BBC documentary on Australia that featured its army and this tank. Along with ticking the following boxes:
1/ Discrimination again Aborigines with the presenter trying to summon up his tear ducts.
2/ Poverty of said group, mitigated by the “brotherhood” of all races in a military that included a border patrol to “keep people out.
3/ (Those nasty) Australians dislike of asylum seekers/economic migrants and “unnecessary processing”
4/ “Global warming” affecting the ecology.
The BBC skit described how great the Abram tank was…I know Hollywood was known for product placement, but the deplorable broadcaster ticked all its agenda boxes on this one..
In any case, the idea that there is a serious military contest that some of TTS’s “Real Ale Twats” might engage in is part of the illusion. Orwell noted one “use” of war was destroy capital. The makers of these tanks, or rather those with investment in them, simply need to speed up the conveyor belt production line then pass on the bill to the taxpayers.
It difficult to believe much modern military kit would be effective. Popular entertainment often includes female heroes who are able to fight just as well as men. There is real combat and there is the charade that has to be played out. Didn’t the Battle of Midway or even the Falklands War demonstrate the ineffectiveness of carriers and big ships to missiles and torpedoes?
Galen Winsor spoke of the redundancy of the tank with the advent of depleted uranium rounds. And while I’m not an imbiber of those comic strip cutaway sections of tanks, planes, and ship loved by the “Real Ale Twats”, it is clear that missiles, drones, and the like have greatly improved relative to tank technology. Interesting fact: the name “tank” was the cover for these mobile lumps of metal that sought to suggest there were indeed, “water tanks”.
(Note to self: read “The Baroque Arsenal” that has been sitting on bookshelf for some time)
A tank battle in Ukraine like it,s still WWII .. sure ..
My dad was in a tank in WW2, but the crew were intelligent and parked it over a trench they dug and played cards
18 years have passed and I reckon neither the warrior wannabes nor their peon fans have seen the video yet. Imagine that..
dont miss the aerea 51 developed TR-3B models
they are still waiting to be used [Paradise Calif,
Lahaina,Tianjin etc]
but russians also have some UFOs developed .
You have a valid point antiJHWH, despite once wishing that a “Hiroshima type bomb would land on MY head”
Some of the larger UFOs I have come to believe are holographic projections. The TR-3B seems to be nuts and bolts though. It was “advertised” of course famously in Belgium around 1989/90. I believe TPTB changed their MO from hiding their testing as “ETs” in the 50 and 60s, or promoted the other side of the false dichotomy: swamp gas, the planet Venus, and weather balloons, and then started deliberately advertising their existence — with the implied assumption of them being “aliens” — in recent decades. Nothing was more blatant than the “Arizona Lights” in 1997, BUT there may also be something of a lull in activity in the last decade as the greater number of video cameras has allowed for closer scrutiny of imagery.
The powers that control the USA also control Russia. From the Bolsheviks to now, Russian leaders have always been the tools of those who supply the capital. IMO the technology is owned and controlled by the transnational banksters. There is only one group. The Russians couldn’t even machine their own ball bearings without American technology.
I would say that I believe Area 51 is a red herring. And perhaps the Bob Lazar story more than just a guy trying to make a few extra bucks from video sales and playing his stories on the UFO circuit. Antigravity craft are obviously built somewhere, but Area 51 was used for aeroplanes because of its long runways. Given the vast scope of the USA and the deserts of the SW states, there’s no reason to build secret aeroplanes (the Blackbird and U2) alongside flying saucers. A vertical take-off craft, as pioneered by your countrymen antiJHWH, were specifically developed in order to do without runways because of Allied bombing.
One of the themes no really touched upon anyone on these message boards are underground bases and facilities. THE OUTSTANDING FEATURE FOR ME ABOUT ALL THIS IS THE COMPARTMENTALISATION AND THE KEEPING OF SECRETS. Even if one buys the nuts and bolts alien visitation mythology, even the devotees concede there are “back engineered” craft . For the sake of argument let me concede for the duration of this discussion there are ET visitors. There are precious few whistle blowers on all of this. There are precious few real insiders reporting on the “moon landings”, 9/11,the fake nuke issue, or perhaps more tellingly: the sheer inertia of those who claim to be “health professionals” on the subject of “vaccination”.
Beyond the Hollywood presented world, there has to a whole infrastructure of intelligence and “need to know” security organisation. Part of this will be the carrot and stick. Large rewards for secrets keepers and unimaginable excruciating punishments for those speaking outside of school. There have been a many sighting where US military aircraft – planes and helicopters – have been seen escorting exotic craft, often with the narrative of “chasing them”. While I think about it, I recall one observer saying how he watched two jets side by side with one vanishing. (In my notes, I wrote down the possibility of holographic testing…)
THERE MUST BE LOADS OF INFORMATION AMERICAN PILOTS IN PARTICULAR ARE KEEPING UNDER WRAPS. Those we seeing giving “ whistleblowing blackout testimony” for “Ancient Aliens” or Luis Elizondo’s UFO circus – give me break, it’s for public consumption. The amount of counter intelligence needed to make sure people don’t talk must take up considerable resources of the black budget already allocated. Mainstream ufologists have mooted a “breakaway civilisation”. Maybe there is, but not on Mars. As I say, what do we know of the interior of the earth and what’s going on there? Further questions involve the whereabout the technical people are: where have they been recruited? Have really talented engineers “gone missing” on a regular basis?
TPTB are possibly saving up their antigravity technology to fake an alien invasion or some part of one that will necessitate some “collective action” where the world needs to “sit in a circle and hold hands” – maybe in the capital city of the reimagined, Earth: Jerusalem?
I’m Jesus and nothing up my sleeve..
And friends.
