    Since the article doesn’t answer it: why are the Abrams pulled from battle and not the other tanks like leopard or challenger? Or are those also being held back?

      Probably being more heavily targeted for propaganda. Russians have seen plenty of destroyed leopards but abrams are relatively new to the battlefield and a direct symbol of american support.

      It’s also possible they have some particular susceptibility to these drones but I’ve seen nothing to suggest that’s the case.
