Secondly, as Military Chronicle notes, the operator of the M1 tanks is the 47th Mechanized Infantry Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which “now needs to curry favor with a nosebleed in order to prove its own competence” after previous failures. “Thirdly, the Kursk region for M1 tanks - this is almost the only place where it is possible to at least try to carry out quick fire attacks and just as quickly roll back before it arrives. But the trick is that Leopard 2, Challenger 2 and numerous infantry fighting vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region have already been lost. Therefore, the Abrams destroyed there is a matter of the near future,” the analysis adds.
It is noted that the fact of the appearance of an American tank in the Kursk region is unpleasant and will be perceived sharply, but this equipment will not bring any changes or at least fluctuations in the balance of forces.
