How did the Russian Lancet Destroy 1 Archer and 2 Abrams Tanks?

</p> <h2>How did the Russian Lancet Destroy 1 Archer and 2 Abrams Tanks?</h2> <p> Things have taken a rough turn for Ukrainian forces. Recent reports suggest they might have lost a couple of their heavy hitters: at least 2 American-made Abrams tanks and 1 Swedish Archer artillery gun. While both losses undoubtedly deal a blow to Ukraine’s military muscle, the burning Archer might leave a deeper, more lasting scar in the long run.</p> <p>In February, the M1 Abrams tank, a formidable weapon in Ukraine’s arsenal, suffered significant losses near Avdiivka, Ukraine. The first tank was hit, with its blowout panels preventing a bigger disaster. Russia claimed the destruction as a victory, though the fate of the crew remains unknown. Conflicting reports suggest a reconnaissance drone may have initiated the attack, followed by a grenade launcher. Shortly after, another Abrams was reportedly destroyed by a Russian T-72B3 tank. These incidents highlight the vulnerabilities of even advanced tanks, such as the Abrams, particularly to drone attacks, and emphasize the importance of tactics that exploit these weaknesses.</p> <p>In addition to the Abrams losses, Ukraine also reportedly lost a valuable asset, the FH77BW Archer self-propelled howitzer. This artillery piece, mounted on a Volvo truck, combines mobility, firepower, and precision. Its ability to quickly move into position and fire a variety of shells, including Excalibur guided munitions, make it a significant asset. With its automated features, the Archer requires only a small crew, enhancing its flexibility and adaptability on the battlefield. The loss of these Archers, which can target enemies from a distance and quickly relocate, is seen as a significant blow to Ukraine’s firepower, as each Archer is considered a valuable asset due to their limited numbers.<br /> Credit to : Defense TV </p> <p>
