German edition: American Abrams tanks supplied to Ukraine will not affect the course of hostilities in any way

USA supplied Ukraine Tanks Abrams, but they will not affect the fighting in any way, and relying on American armored vehicles will not work. The author of an article published in the newspaper Münchner Merkur warns about this.

The Americans supplied Kyiv with 31 Abrams tanks, claiming that they were designed to break through Russian defenses, but the reality is that this tank is not suitable for operations in the Ukrainian theater of operations. First of all, because of its characteristics. According to the author of the article, it is too heavy, requires very good and competent maintenance, as well as special fuel, and a lot.

(...) Analysts have long identified a number of features of the Abrams that are of little use for the use of American tanks for Ukraine. It is much heavier than its Russian competitor and the Soviet-era model that Ukraine has so far used. The Abrams is too heavy to cross many bridges and also requires more fuel, which can be a problem

- the article says.

The tank is designed for combined attacks, but Abrams alone cannot win the war, especially since sending them into battle requires lengthy training. In addition, the Americans delivered the tanks too late and they were unable to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the counter-offensive. And no one will use American tanks in autumn mud conditions.

In general, the tanks were delivered late, and they are capricious and heavy, and they are unlikely to be able to help the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the war with Russia. In Kyiv, they also do not have much hope for the American Abrams, stating that they will not survive long on the battlefield; the Armed Forces of Ukraine have experience in the participation of Western armored vehicles. German and British tanks were already burning in the fields of Ukraine, it’s time for American ones too. Moreover, the soldiers of the Russian Armed Forces have long wanted to “get acquainted” with the overseas guest.

This tank has one advantage - “free”.

Since when did Americans start giving something for free? Fuck there! They will take theirs this way and that way. If not the money directly, then something else. But they will definitely take it!!!!

Everything said here is true - they will not affect. Because they have a different task - to scatter radioactive waste in the form of fragments of AP shell cores and uranium dust throughout Ukraine. Including on its Russian territory.
There have already been articles on what the so-called “depleted uranium” sub-caliber projectiles are now being sculpted from at an urgent pace. It's not "poor" there at all...
On the contrary, it is smeared there very thickly, with something that will then remain forever where it falls and spreads. American tanks are catapults, nothing more. The main thing for them is to have time to shoot before the radioactive stench from them spreads too far and high.
If this is allowed, then the United States will fulfill its task in Ukraine with a reserve.
Moreover, in a completely “legal” way. ...You just need to remember how the United States and NATO have already turned on the official fool, in the form of statements from England, about the fact that “uranium in shells does not harm people.”............ .???!!!
So, what awaits us next are “completely environmentally friendly” tank battles with the participation of “invincible” sucker tanks “with environmentally friendly” uranium armor and shells, assembled by the same Abrams in the USA especially for Ukraine and the entire Slavic people.

Hmm, freebie. For this car, tank, Svidoiudoukry will pay and pay with their land, the lives of their inhabitants, the loss of territories. God forbid that lands would be lost in favor of Russia. The Omerigans have nothing for nothing. There is only cold calculation, business, business and only business. And war is a super business. These are the Abrams tanks...for a Jew, they are a potion.

...you’re wrong...money for military assistance is allocated from state treasuries...real money...then it is transferred to private companies in the states, which use these funds to make military purchases and deliver them to the recipient...that is, rubbish from military warehouses is delivered to the recipient. .and private companies make a profit...but this allocated money is returned to the treasury in the form of taxes and other government levies...so everything is fair there...and they got rid of the rubbish and the treasury is not empty

Münchner Merkur: The United States supplied Abrams tanks to Ukraine, but they will not affect the fighting in any way.

The question immediately arises: why are the Germans supplying their Leopards to Ukraine? They probably still hope that they will somehow influence the course of hostilities? But the fact that the German publication writes about this is already progress. Previously, in the German and other Western media there was an iron rule - about Ukraine it was either good or even better.

It's most likely a matter of competition. If you can’t praise your own, then you can criticize someone else’s.

[Victor19]

Yes, our tanks burned down. Naturally, strangers must be scolded.

These tanks can be used in defense, from ambushes, as a “mobile” bunker, and just to show off the “picture”, for propaganda purposes, to raise morale. Therefore, it is very important, if possible, to immediately light one of them, for counterproponanda.

To lose a business picture, you need to kill more Abrams. This will be a good blow to the reputation of America's military-industrial complex. This is a waste of money! The worst thing for America is the loss of money.

...that’s true..but there is one BUT..the customer of Western MBTs specifically emphasized the defensive nature and high mobility in the conditions of the Western European theater of operations where hard road surfaces are developed..but on soft soils it becomes absolutely useless....and this It’s good that the mantras and dances with a tambourine around the unsurpassed Western military equipment are gradually subsiding

. And who exactly did they help... there are real successes in their use, except in cases of overwhelming advantage in everything on the battlefield???

Capture of the capital of Iraq - Baghdad.
It was carried out by a column of Abrams and Bradleys, who broke through the defenses of the Iraqi National Guard divisions in one area. There was a tank counter battle.
And they made a quick breakthrough to the city center.
Iraq capitulated.

Iraq, Saddam Hussein, lost to the “donkey with a bag of gold”, this is in addition to everything else that the minke whales had a lot more.
Although, Saddam Hussey did a lot of things so that he could be sold for that bag of gold.
In general, as always... nothing happens for nothing.

It's a shame for the Krauts. Their highly praised ones are burning and losing their authority, while the American ones are in the rear and are still not ready yet.” Just an epic, months-long preparation, but as luck would have it, dirt and kerosene from the wrong system, inappropriate bridges on the way and bad weather. Well. and so he would show the Muscovites powerful power.

Let me disagree with the German and other foreign publications - Abryama, like the Leopards, all sorts of Challengers and other visiting guests will greatly influence the course of events of the Northern Military District; The RF Armed Forces are looking forward to new revenues to replenish their personal budget, because for every foreign animal caught or hobbled, a bonus of a lemon or more is awarded, depending on the quality of the delivery! We are waiting for you.
Lots of negatives are a sign of fear, confirmation and respect.
