The elite 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces , which spent 15 months continuously fighting in many of the bloodiest battles with the Russians in the east and went into a well-deserved rest and recharge in early September, may have the most sophisticated American Abrams tanks.
The unit's lone tank battalion was equipped with American-made M-1A1 Situational Awareness Abrams from the 2000s, which are not the most protected, but the Ukrainian vehicles may be the most modified, Forbes writes, citing a video in which the 47th Brigade showed off surviving vehicles during exercises: "The 69-ton, four-seater M-1s sport American-made reactive armor blocks on their sides and Ukrainian-made reactive armor blocks on their turrets as locally-made slat armor against drones and drone-grounding jammers."
Journalists noted that the improvements are designed to combat two main threats - anti-tank missiles and explosive drones. "Reactive armor explodes outward, deflecting missile warheads. Cellular armor and a suppressor disable and block explosive drones," the article emphasizes.
It is not known how many Abrams tanks the 47th Brigade had left after the fighting. “At most, the 47th Mechanized Brigade has 25 M-1s left. At a minimum, it might have just 17. But it’s a safe bet all the survivors now have the add-on armor and jammers. They’ll roll back into battle better-protected than ever—potentially delaying the day when the brigade has too few tanks to form a cohesive fighting force.
If the 47th Mechanized Brigade gets more Abrams, they might not come from the United States—but from Australia. While the Americans haven’t signaled a willingness to transfer more tanks, the Australians are reportedly considering donating 59 surplus M-1A1SAs that recently retired from the Australian army.
With 59 fresh Abrams, the 47th Mechanized could replenish its existing tank battalion—and possibly form a second battalion, too. Unless and until that happens, those 14 to 25 survivors of the original 31 Ukrainian M-1s will have to soldier on alone”, Forbes says.
”According to Oryx analysts , six such tanks were destroyed, and eight were damaged or abandoned.
"It is strange that the United States has not sent an M-1 replacement. Those first 31 Abrams that arrived in Ukraine a year ago are the only Abrams that the Americans have promised, despite the fact that there are literally thousands of tanks in storage in the United States," the article says.
