Unpacking 'Abrams'
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

In the film, the last half purports to show the vehicle being struck from the left. We are told it was destroyed by tank gunfire.

[ColonelCassad] In the Avdievka area, tankers of the 21st Motorized Rifle Brigade with precise fire knocked out an M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV), a modern US Army military vehicle on the M1 Abrams chassis for mine clearance, with a mine plow and linear charges. Its first combat use by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) was during Operation Moshtarak in southern Afghanistan during the 2010 Afghanistan War against the Taliban.


The vehicle was included in the 47th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and last year the cocaine Fuhrer posed in front of it.

In reality, the war in Ukraine is an even rarer and more valuable vehicle than an ordinary Abrams. Such vehicles can be used just for leading the breakthrough of armored vehicles through minefields. Each vehicle is worth its weight in gold and costs more than a regular Abrams. The fighters who killed it can safely be paid the well-deserved million.
