Ukrainian tank crews in the eastern front see the first delivery of U.S. Abrams tanks to Kyiv as a boost that will offer them more protection and firepower in battle.
on Monday that Ukraine had taken delivery of its first shipment of U.S. jet-powered Abrams tanks to help in the defence against Russia's invasion.and that they "will make a difference" in the 19-month-old war. With a powerful engine, 120 mm main gun and special armour, the Abrams tank is particularly lethal against heavy armour forces.
"The Abrams tank....has protection against ammunition detonation. does not have it. If ammunition detonates, there is no chance to survive," said tank driver Vitalii, 29. "It would be better to have foreign weapons. The armour is better and they are more effective, I believe," he said as tank crews advanced in their Soviet-era tanks across wooded terrain and scrubland during recent drills.
A 26-year-old officer who gave his name as Oleksandr said his main concern was facing large contingents of Russian troops.
