In January 2023, the world watched as the US President Joe Biden announced a major move in the Ukraine conflict. They were sending in 31 top-of-the-line American Abrams tanks, designed to tip the scales in Ukraine's favor. By September, these powerful beasts were rolling onto the battlefield, with highly trained Ukrainian crews at the helm. Everyone thought it was a game-changer.
But things took a surprising turn. Within just two months, Russia managed to knock out a significant number of these supposedly invincible Abrams tanks. Faced with these losses, Ukraine was forced to make a tough call: pull all the Abrams tanks back from the front lines.
This begs the question: what went wrong? The Abrams is known as one of the best tanks around. So how did these mighty machines falter on the battlefield in Ukraine?
To crack this code, we need to zoom out and take a closer look. What role do tanks play in modern warfare, and how do their strengths and weaknesses stack up against each other?
