On Wednesday, Russia said its forces had destroyed a U.S.-made Abrams tank operated by Ukraine close to the captured eastern city of Avdiivka, which Moscow has controlled since mid-February.
Moscow claimed it knocked out a first Abrams tank in late February, and said on Monday that it had taken out a second one during clashes around villages west of Avdiivka.
Analysts say the handful of tanks are a boost to Ukraine’s stocks, but they came in too small a quantity to make a real difference to Kyiv’s war effort.
Fighters deployed around Avdiivka earlier this year told Newsweek that Russian armored vehicle crews were “afraid” to launch operations “when they know that a Bradley will be against them.”
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry said it destroyed a Ukrainian Bradley infantry fighting vehicle on the eastern frontlines around Avdiivka.
Videos shared by open-source intelligence accounts in recent days also appear to show an Abrams tank in flames.
