Russian T-72 Destroys The M1 Abrams with Its First Shot

The war in Ukraine has escalated into a fierce battleground where both Russia and Ukraine are relentlessly targeting each other’s military equipment. This prolonged conflict has resulted in the destruction of numerous tanks, leading to Ukraine being dubbed the “tank graveyard.“ Amidst this, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation recently announced that a T-72B3 tank had destroyed an American-supplied M1 Abrams tank in Ukraine. This incident reportedly occurred near Avdiivka, with the Russian ministry spokesperson claiming that the T-72B3 achieved this feat “with the first shot.“ Notably, this is not the first time this particular T-72B3 tank has been involved in such an event; it is actually the third time it has been destroyed. However, this is the first documented instance of a US-supplied tank being destroyed by a Russian tank in direct combat. This makes us wonder; how did the Russian tanks manage to eliminate the US-supplied tank in just one shot?
