Will the Abrams Tank Face a Similar Fate to the Leopard Tank in Ukraine

After the US officials had been initially reluctant to send M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the US then declared it would send 31 of the 70-ton Abrams main battle tanks, while Germany committed to sending 14 Leopard 2 tanks.
According to Konstantin Sivkov, Vice President of the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, the M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks that the West intends to provide to Ukraine will be ineffective in the region without adequate protection. In an interview with the Turkish newspaper Aydinlik, he emphasized that while these tanks are powerful vehicles, their effectiveness is dependent on being backed by fighter jets, robust defense, and artillery support. Sivkov also pointed out that the Leopard tanks have previously encountered issues in Syria. Also, it was recently reported that the Leopard 2 was successfully destroyed by Russia's Lancet system.
Given that Russia's loitering munition has achieved its initial victory over a heavily praised Leopard 2 tank which has been hailed as a wonder weapon by the media, some questions come to mind: Will the American Abrams tank suffer the same fate as the destroyed Leopard 2? Or, will it change the tide of the war over Russia?

I think it makes no different. Even Merkava which the Israelis declared the best tank in the world could be destroyed by kornet ATGM

[@jamesphilip6737]

31 tanks aren't changing anything. It's smoke and mirrors.

[@emjay9280]

Without backup or experienced crews, any tank is a fish in a barrel.

[@evansmaputsa9245]

Guess its fate was sealed the moment Leopards were seen burning in Ukrainian fields.

[@artiombeknazaryan7542]

They used 2000 in Iraq and now they are providing just 30. Thats hilarious.

[@1112viggo]

What people don´t get about tanks is both Ukraine and Russia has dozens of options, some hand-held by infantry or operated remotely that can destroy ANY tank no matter its advancement and armor. People still laugh at Russia for rolling out their old tank, but it really makes no sense to risk modern tanks for common infantry support unless their capabilities are specifically needed.

[@ducaysane1133]

Definitely, without doubt M1abram Tanks will be more simple to be destroyed! The reason is very concise and clear the leapord 2 is slightly advanced than M 1 abram thanks

[@DilbertMuc]

September is the perfect time for the 75t Abrams to arrive at the beginning rain season. Do the Abrms come with periscopes so that at least the commander can see something when the whole tank is submerged in that famous Ukrainian mud?

[@GhostRider-hp3te]

This will the 1st time for the A-1Abraham tank since it’s inception to fight in a real war against a worthy enemy and not civilians in the previous wars

[@AdnanKhan-yv7pk]

If Lancets prove to be ineffective against Abrams, the Russians will use KA 52s to annihilate them.

[@Frostbite124]

Overall, abrams is a good tank, the problem is that it never faced an equal enemy before.

[@gaitn5670]

They need not again 'game changers' in Ukraine, but simply peace and respect for each other on neutral ground!

[@bat4130]

31 tanks turn the tide of battle against a fully mobilized Russian army? Do they think they are still fighting Zulu warriors in the 19th century? Shirley no one is that delusional.

[@andreww1225]

There is no existing tanks that a drone or atgm can’t take out

[@cwolf8841]

Nothing has changed since WW2 where folks learned over and over again it was critical to use combined arms working together. If you commit individual systems by themselves they will be destroyed. There is no invulnerable tank. IMO opinion, go after the engine.... nice big heat signature, light armor, and the most expensive subsystem.

[@joshuaf6837]

Yes, the Abrams will fair the same as the Leopards.

[@williamfeldner9356]

Stop this unnecessary WAR

[@khurramshahzad694]

Unless they give minimum of a division worth of tanks with 2 or three squadrons of fighters and 20 gunship helicopters, they will fail. 30 are not even an armoured battalion worth! Not enough critical mass to breakthrough the defence

[@PantaPk]

Don’t let Lancet and Kornet waiting 🫡

[@Mr.mysterious76]

Anti tank mines everywhere.These ground vehicles will not be that useful without air support, but then again the airspace is closed because of Russian missiles, so this war will not end. Time for peace negotiations for the sake of everyone
