@Free_Press Looks like A-3s too... I doubt there is a single tank that can match those. Now it is up to the crews (or infantry) to make the best use of them.

@JonKramer @Free_Press Unfortunately tank vs. tank battles aren't the biggest cause of tank casualties there. It's mines, artillery, drones and ATGMs. Fortunately the Abrams is designed to maximize crew survivability, which is great, but I'm afraid it will succumb just as easily as any tank to the mine-caused immobilization followed by artillery and/or kamikaze drone followup attack that was used against the Leopards. Hope I'm wrong (except about the crew survivability part)!

@JonKramer @Free_Press Yup, and as you said, making best use of them is key. Ukraine is coming up with some really cool mine clearing techniques, like using thermal imagers to see them at dusk, then dropping explosives on them with drones. Best of luck to them!
