The US was scared for the reputation of its tanks

The USA opposes the provision of additional weapons and further financing of Kiev’s military efforts, MWM has said.

The reason is the losses Ukraine is suffering and the obvious failure of its offensive operations, the author wrote.

Videos of Russian soldiers operating an American Bradley infantry fighting vehicle, trying to start the engine of a German Leopard 2A4 tank and destroying a British Challenger 2 have long roamed the net. Now Washington is worried that the reputation of their best tank, the M1 Abrams, could also be seriously tarnished by the footage of combat losses, and according to some unconfirmed reports, the Americans are even forcing the Ukrainians to hold onto these vehicles and not send them to the front lines, although the first such tanks were delivered to the country back in September.
