Why offensive warfare is doomed. From RT at swentr.site:
Moscow’s forces have destroyed five US-made Abrams in Ukraine and damaged another three, the newspaper has claimed

Expensive American M1 Abrams tanks delivered to Ukraine are increasingly falling prey to Russian drones that cost only a fraction as much, the New York Times reported on Saturday. Even “one of the most powerful symbols of American military might” is not invulnerable to the attacks, it said.
At least five US-supplied tanks out of the 31 provided by Washington have already been destroyed by Russia, the media outlet said, adding that three others were “moderately damaged.”
In most cases, the tanks have been destroyed by first-person-view (FPV) kamikaze drones, also known as loitering munitions. These drones are capable of maneuvering before hitting their targets.
In at least one instance though, an Abrams tank was taken out in a duel against a Russian T-72B3 main battle tank. The Russian military has published upwards of a dozen clips, mostly taken from drones, showing the destruction of US-supplied equipment.

Best to study WAR because it’s never going away…running through like Tony Dorsett on a 99 yard Monday Night extravaganza.
Ivan will examine his captured goodies and figure out to dismantle and destroy?
These things happen when you can’t leave the boat but only proxy around.
I hope external enemies don’t come to the paper tiger conclusion.
