“Abrams can become a problem for the Armed Forces”: the foreign press called the American tank a whimsical machine

Exploitation of American tanks showed the high complexity of their use and maintenance, and without proper skills, the use of these machines at the front will become a big problem for the Ukrainian army.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, but the problem is to keep these "horses" in fighting condition.

- it is noted in the publication Pucará Defensa, unreasonably believing that the West is supplying independent military equipment free of charge.

As indicated, the Abrams M1 has a power plant, which consists of a Honeywell gas turbine connected to an Allison transmission.

This power plant and the tank as a whole are not easy to operate and maintain and require an established supply of spare parts, special equipment for their maintenance and a lot of time for personnel to acquire the necessary skills.

- explained in the foreign press, pointing out that even during their first combat use during the Persian Gulf War, M1 demonstrated whimsicality and low reliability during operation and difficulty in carrying out repairs.

The Leopard 2 is powered by an MTU 873 engine and a Renk transmission. As noted, the MTU-RENK combination has proven itself and is widely used in many other armored vehicles (for example, on the Argentine TAM medium tank):

This power plant and the tank as a whole are easier to operate and maintain than the M1, which, in particular, reduces the time for crew training.

In addition, as the author points out, the body of the Leopard 2 is lower, which makes it easier to disguise it, the tank consumes almost 6 times less energy than the M1, has a better power density, greater autonomy and, at the same time, similar weapons.

Logistics plays a fundamental role in the war in Ukraine. Therefore, in this situation, Abrams, but not Leopard 2, can become a headache for the APU

- the author concludes.

For our part, we note that, apparently, this concern is shared by the Pentagon, supplying the Armed Forces of Ukraine with 31 tanks along with 8 ARVs. That is, there are 8 repair vehicles for three companies, while in the US Army one ARV is intended for each company.

Yes, the Abrams will not reach Ukraine. The Americans have already said that not this year. Because they don’t want to spoil the myth of the invincible Abrams. our Abrams. So buy them.

Well, what does he say? That the US military is participating in the database on the side of Ukraine? So everyone has known this for a long time. That the United States "maybe" has already prepared some centers in Ukraine? So, foreign advisers have already flown in more than once, which, by the way, was also written about. About the "no-fly zone"? So if they could, then they would not wait for any reasons. About nuclear weapons? Well, nothing depends on us here, if we don't follow Katz's advice.

[Novichek]

. What if it turns out the way he says?

. There will definitely not be a nuclear war, simply because the instigators of all this mess themselves (that is, the richest people on the planet) will not allow this. Simply by the fact that for the time being, they are a "spare planet" for themselves - they have not acquired loved ones. As for the Russian oligarchs, if they can bargain for more or less acceptable conditions, then not only Crimea, but the whole of Russia can go "payment account"

[Andy_nsk]

Just today I read that the Abrams supplied to the outskirts will be re-equipped: the uranium inserts protecting the tank will be replaced with other materials, and I will also remove the most modern electronic equipment. So the security of the tank will be at the level of the 80s of the last century (no higher than that of the T-72B and T-90). Therefore deliveries - not earlier than summer.

[Orange Bigg]

Well, that is, the level of the Abrams during the war in Iraq. Here they are. Admire.

[skeptick2]

Pretty.
And once again I breathed a sigh of relief.
And once again I was convinced that everything that the West supplies to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is obsolete rubbish, rusty iron, junk, which does not pose any danger to Russia.

Of course, there in the USA they understand what their tanks are waiting for. So they will send if they still send tanks of the first issues and at the same time they will accuse the Banderlogs themselves of incorrect command, use, assignment, and in general when you just die.

[Argon]

The ground is already being prepared, and most importantly, through fake media.

[Mikhail Maslov]

They can’t become, and they have already become before they got to the banderlogs. Wait and "Leopards and other animals" will become a headache, first of all, the banderlogs themselves

[paul3390]

Why use them properly? As I understand it, formations armed with Western equipment will be used once and in one place. Let's say - for a breakthrough to the Crimea or Mariupol. If this fails, it will not matter at all how many of them will remain in service after the operation .. Yes, at least they will kill everyone in the steppes of the Kherson region - the main thing is that the result will be achieved. Already with something - but the junta does not consider losses and is not going to reckon with them.

[Bingo]

So I’ve been amazed for days on this site - right away, without equivocation, it was said - under attack. And in NATO, and in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and in the United States right away - about the attack on the Crimea. Another, obvious, PR action, such as an offensive before the US elections, obviously failed simply because the enemy is ready for it. But I see that not everyone even understood what was said and repeated in plain text ... Well, what for kamikaze bells and whistles and a competent crew?

[skeptick2]

Attacking the Crimea is utter stupidity.
I do not know who gave the command to our media to promote this topic.
The problem with the Crimea for the Armed Forces of Ukraine is being solved in a different plane, no one will climb there through the isthmus, exposing themselves to a blow. We went through using the element of surprise and Ukraine's disbelief that the war would start. But now the situation is different.
It is enough for the Armed Forces of Ukraine to cut the land corridor and neutralize traffic on the Crimean bridge.
And that's it. Problem solved. And the Crimea will be in the position of Kherson.
Why does everyone think that if we stupidly break into the frontal, then the enemy will do the same?

[Bingo]

And I'm sorry, the autumn pre-election offensive for the victory of the Democrats in the USA - was it not a frontal one? How many were there near Kherson and Liman only grinded with artillery? That in the same Transcarpathia they still can’t bury everyone - they lie in the wagons, they give them out gradually, so that the region, already fucked up from coffins, doesn’t dug out and doesn’t run away into the forest? So here too - the father had already ordered - they did not give the serf a word. Tramp, it is on the Crimea, and it is in the forehead. Because it was already promised to their voters in the USA

[skeptick2]

Did you even follow the course of hostilities then? At least on a map?
What the hell are frontal ones?
If we "regrouped" at such a speed that the Armed Forces of Ukraine could not keep up with us?

[Stepan S]

Why use them properly?

Yes, absolutely right. Still not mine, sorry. Even if the task is not completed, it does not matter - what is the demand from them? They will also demand and accuse partners that the tank was "of the wrong system."

In Soviet times, the children's song "A river begins from a blue stream" was very popular ... Do you remember this one?
The main thing is that the precedent has been set. The reaction of Russia is tracked, it is none. Further, the river will only expand.
By the way, why do you focus only on deliveries from Germany? "Leopards" are not only there. And Germany will not object to deliveries by other countries. She has already made this clear.
And than. Do not forget that there was no Lend-Lease as such. Have you forgotten about him? Hard to believe...

[NOMADE]

There is an interesting parallel with lend-lease. Only, now the states are no longer the same as Europe. By the way, there is no operating tank building plant in the USA. And it was amazing to find out that they are sending Abrams. As for aviation, they can theoretically greatly saturate the troops of Ukraine, but again, there are questions with the pilots.

[Stepan S]

The United States is in a hurry to transfer the Abrams to Ukraine - the statement was made for the Germans, so that they could not make a decision on the transfer "supposedly not the first."
After the transfer of the Leopards, the United States will see if it makes sense to transfer the Abrams - fortunately, he provided a notable reserve of time for himself, more than six months. Well, if they have to be transferred, then the tanks may not go to the front line. they will circle around Kyiv and Lvov so that they can take selfies and upload photos.

[rotmistr60]

Pucara Defensa

Argentine edition if I'm not mistaken. The differences in the power plant of the "Abrams" and "Leopard" were compared, one can say clearly giving preference to the German tank. There is a lot of talk today about tanks planned for delivery to Ukraine in various media. And everywhere the emphasis is on the fact that the American tank is difficult to operate, which suggests the idea that the Americans are actively promoting this idea through various media to "justify" their slowness in their deliveries.

Most of the Abrams were burned in Iraq from primitive RPG-7.RPG-7! And if you hit something heavier with the same artillery or from a tank, then what will be left of Abrams?

[voyaka uh]

Abrams - with a gas turbine, like the T-80.
Same advantages and disadvantages.
Sharp jerks from a standstill for several hundred meters are an advantage.
Fuel consumption is a disadvantage.

Well, if they can also change the oil on the Abrams on the outskirts, then it is impossible to perform repairs closer to Poland. This is naturally much closer than France with the Leclercs, but also. not at hand. But the fatty Ukrainian chernozems, even in a slightly frozen state, are insurmountable for the abrams. Those. such equipment can be dragged into cover and used as a self-propelled gun, but it will not perform tank work in a breakthrough. And for Sau, shaved challengers with a rifled barrel and crowbars are better suited.

[ycuce234-san]

Quote from A.S.M.

But the fatty Ukrainian chernozems, even in a slightly frozen state, are insurmountable for the abrams.

Abrams was initially tested at the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maroland and tested successfully. And this state is by no means a desert - it is, despite the height of 7 m above sea level, a wet seaside agricultural state, a redneck's dream. And the test site itself is generally located near the river, and, probably, is flooded by it, which made a certain sense, since the test site was originally historically made to test equipment on a landscape similar to German landscapes and then to Soviet ones - wet and swampy (it’s enough to look at the soil map or photos of local landscapes). Therefore, Abrams should not be confused with Merkava - he was invented for movement precisely on wet soils and was successfully tested on them, although he fights in the deserts.

In fact, the most famous MTU-RENK combination is the Israeli Merkava Mk4 tank. Only there, for humanitarian reasons, they renamed the German MTU883 motor with one stroke of the pen into the American General Dynamics GD883.

[rotfuks]

Maybe not everyone knows why the Poles strive to fuse their Leopards to Ukraine. For strong friendship with America, the Poles bought 366 Abrams and transfer Leopards to Ukraine not at all free of charge. The Poles have already submitted a claim to the EU for reimbursement of the cost of the Leopards. With all this, Poland is a poor country and is in the EU on subsidies. But here Poland has laid out 9 billion 200 million euros to spend on the purchase of American tanks.
