112 Russian tanks worth $300 million destroyed or disabled by National Guard in January
Ukraine's National Guard has destroyed or disabled 112 Russian tanks in the first month of 2024, with an estimated total value of over $300 million
The list includes around 10 T-90 #Proryv tanks, that Russia has boasted about
"The National Guardsmen have repeatedly proven that there are no 'impenetrable' targets for Ukrainian 'birds’ (drones),” Klymenko said, sharing video evidence of some of the successful strikes.
Russia has (for the first timel) shared videos of their new high-precision kamikaze drones “VT-40” that has armored piercing munition.
The new drone was built by volunteer engineers who combined the OTS drones with a new and modernized (RPG like) payload.
In one of the videos the Ukrainian T-72 was blew up in a massive explosion killing all onboarding and completely destroyed the tank.
I'm no expert but I don't think that the video I shared on telegram showing the same drone attacking the tanks and armored vehicles because the explosions seems to be very different.

#Hamas: Gaza City is besieged, we are fully encircled
Despite Gaza City now being encircled, the real battle has only just begun
Israeli forces are now starting to move into the urban invironment of Gaza. Today, they have lost at least 6 #tanks and 2 #APCs trying to advance into the outskirts of Gaza City.
Al-Qassam fighters are everywhere, moving past Israeli lines without being noticed. They have attacked #IDF troops from behind their own lines on several occasions.
Israel has already suffered dozens of casualties since entering #Gaza, and it will get much worse as they progress deeper into Gaza City.

Hezbollah's home made ATGMs have managed to neutralize or destroy multiple Israeli Makrkava tanks
The tanks, named to be the "safest and most advanced tanks in the world" have active "trophy" system that detects and destroys incoming RPGs and ATGMs, plus the full cover passive shields to protect the heavy and thick body of the tanks.
In the most bizarre display, Hezbollah have shown videos of how they build their anti tanks projectiles by hand and shared videos where they destroyed multiple tanks from distance.
The videos show 2 different systems, a single RPG that seems to set the tank on fire and a dual projectile units that destroys the shielding of the tanks before penetrating and setting the tanks cabin on fire.
It's truly horrifying that a cheap device like that can destroy a multi million dollar tank with such ease.

US Expects to begin delivering Abrams tanks to Ukraine in September — POLITICO
U.S. #Abrams #tanks are likely to arrive on the Ukrainian battlefield in September, according to six people familiar with the planning, as Kyiv’s forces push to retake territory in a counteroffensive that is picking up steam.
The plan is to send a handful of Abrams tanks to #Germany in August, where they will undergo final refurbishments. Once that process is complete, the first batch of Abrams will be shipped to #Ukraine the following month.

The Armed Forces of #Ukraine launched a disastrous assault on the town of #Rabotyne, Russian #Zaparozhye today. Reports and footage are pouring onto social media of destroyed #tanks (including #Leopard 2A6s) and other vehicles - as well as captured and killed Ukrainians.
Along with heavy fighting in the #Artyomovsk direction today is yet another brutal day in the Ukrainian "Southern Counteroffensive".
The US State Department approved a possible sale of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems to #Poland for $15 billion.
Warsaw, following hundreds of #HIMARS and #Abrams #tanks, plans to purchase at least 48 #Patriot launchers, related equipment and 644 PAC-3 anti-aircraft missiles from the United States.
The current leadership of Poland, represented by President Duda, continues the consistent implementation of the plan to create the most powerful land army in #Europe.
Ukrainians' #Abrams #Tanks Training Expected to Start in Days
#PENTAGON — U.S. forces are expected to start training Ukrainians on M1A1 Abrams tanks “in the next week or so,” Pentagon press secretary Brigadier General Pat Ryder told #VOA on Tuesday.
About 250 Ukrainians are arriving in #Germany this week for the training, a senior military official familiar with the training told VOA on the condition of anonymity to discuss security matters.
The Ukrainians will train on 31 Abrams tanks that arrived in Germany earlier this month. U.S. officials have said that a different set of 31 M1A1 Abrams tanks are being refurbished in the United States and will be delivered to #Ukraine by the fall.
Training in Germany is expected to last about 10 weeks and will focus on how to operate the tanks, how to maneuver the tanks in a combined arms fight and tank maintenance, the official said.

President Andrzej Duda has confirmed that the Polish prime minister "went to Kyiv to bring Leopard tanks" to #Ukraine, where he offered a "clear signal of support."
There is no way Ukrainians can operate those tanks, this means Poland has now troops directly involved in this war.
