The Ukrainian army withdrew American M1A1 Abrams tanks from the front line partly due to threats from Russian drone attacks and other strikes.
About he says in a new report from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Analysts of an Associated Press article on April 26, citing two unnamed US military officials, said that Ukraine pulled Abrams tanks from the front lines in part because of Russia’s widespread use of drones.
