Against Vladimir Putin's forces: Ukrainians have no tanks
At NATO's 75th anniversary celebrations on Thursday (April 4), Foreign Minister Dimitro Kuleba formally called for more patriotic air defense systems to protect the skies in his homeland. Germany has now delivered more than 2,000 “Matador” anti-tank weapons to the Ukrainian army. But the Ukrainians do not have such battle tanks, that is why they can only operate on the battlefield and no longer.
This is illustrated by the next example. It comes from the 47th Mechanized Brigade and documents a double military defeat for the Ukrainians on one part of the front against the Russian invaders.

Eastern Ukraine.”
In the report by OF But it also says that the M1 Abrams is mainly used individually. Shoot at targets from a distance, not in direct collision with other tanks. Because: Despite the heavy losses of Russian troops on the Donbass front, Putin's units are old and still have plenty of tanks to sustain their attacks on the Ukrainian defense lines. The Ukrainians (and not only) are on the defensive here for a long time and this is the first military defeat in the East.

Ukraine War: Russian Army Can Hold Avdivka With Anti-Tank Weapons
A second military defeat for Ukrainians on the Donbass frontline has been documented by drone footage OF From the 47th Mechanized Brigade. They show a former coking plant in the completely destroyed former industrial city of Avdiyeva, which Putin's invasion army managed to take in mid-February. And: “By installing anti-tank weapons at the highest points of this massive industrial facility, the Russians gained an open, full-range view of the surrounding area,” he writes. OFSo the Ukrainian brigade can monitor them from the air, but cannot attack them in a concentrated and sustained manner.
And what's more: the Ukrainians keep their remaining tanks in the area because they could come within range of the anti-tank weapons at the coking plant. It is not known what weapons Putin's military has installed here. This is probably the 9K135 Kornet anti-tank system, which can be placed back and forth on racks by individual soldiers. Although easy to use, it has a range of more than five kilometers.
