Damn weren’t these like just recently fielded? I saw a video of one the other day. Think opsec on these need to be hyper tight because the loss of them is really really bad for political optics sadly.
Of course that sucks because one of the primary reasons Ukraine wants M1s is because they have an insanely high survivability rate for an MBT. If the crew survived you’re seeing these worked as intended. Can probably be salvaged too.

They’ve been operating near Avdiivka for over a month, according to the 47th Mechanized. It’s more surprising this is the first loss we’ve seen.
