Ukraine’s armed forces are modifying the Abrams tanks themselves, which the US supplied to them without improved armour.
“The US has sent tanks (to Ukraine) without the most effective armour improvements,” the piece claims.
According to the publication, the Americans removed part of the armour with depleted uranium because of the secrecy of its composition. It is noted that this made the tanks more vulnerable to drones.
Earlier it was reported that Ukraine lost about 20 American Abrams tanks out of 31 delivered.
