    Earlier, Russian actor Ivan Okhlobystin announced an additional bonus of 10 million rubles for each damaged Abrams tank. This is a rather large amount (about $110,000), so it would be better for the 30 Abrams remaining in Ukraine not to appear near the line of combat contact in the future - they are a priority target for FPV drone operators.

    I wonder how much a Ukrainian could get from the Russians for a sample of the ERA which the Americans wisely removed before sending the tanks to corruption-central?  I'd bet it would be well over $100k unless the Russians have enough samples already which is more than possible.  IIRC it was a matter of weeks before the Russians received a mint HIMARS, with a full load of rockets to boot.  All wrapped nicely in a bow.  That should have been worth at least one villa in Monaco.



    You are kind of cluless about ERA? There is no high-tec to it, and the Ruzzians & Co probably had examples from it since the Gulf War. Yes Abrams is a tank and gets killed when hit sufficiently. did anyone expect anything else? What I get from this news is that US did effectively deliver the tanks to the frontlines, they have enough fuel to use them and trained crews.
