"Valuable Intelligence." Russian Experts to Study Captured Abrams Tank (https://t.me/inosmichannel/21715)

Russia has received a rare opportunity to study an American M1A1 Abrams tank captured in Ukraine with almost no damage, MWM writes. Uralvagonzavod specialists will analyze the vehicle's design to collect intelligence. The value of captured Abrams tanks is significant due to their widespread use. The United States alone has more than 4,000 vehicles in service or storage.

Earlier, Russian experts also got their hands on a German Leopard. The 2A6 Leopards will provide even more valuable intelligence. The Abrams tanks sent to Ukraine were built for export with the most classified technologies removed, while the 2A6 Leopards came directly from German army stocks.
