Ukraine Situation Report suggest that Ukraine has withdrawn its U.S.-supplied M1 Abrams tanks from frontline operations — for the time being, at least. It’s said that the reason for the move is their vulnerability to drone attacks, although the reasoning is somewhat hazy. Most likely, the tanks have been pulled since they are considered especially valuable assets, and having more examples knocked out — or, worse still, captured — by Russia would be a significant propaganda and materiel loss for Kyiv.

Two U.S. military officials confirmed the move to the Associated Press, stating that Russian drone operations, in particular, mean that the Abrams cannot operate effectively without detection or coming under attack.
