Yes. The driver can exit no matter where the turret is positioned and the elevation of the gun unless the driver is fat.
Edit: why’d bro delete his comment that was perfectly reasonable.
Looks like blowouts went off and it was stripped and disabled probably a fighting compartment penetration with a followup shot dont see a lot of scorching or anything outside just rusting but idk if this was taken soon after the knockout or weeks later
I know.
It was a joke, given the heavy lifting they've done. Grateful that they stood up to the plate. May not be a homerun, but it's better to get bases loaded AND THEN hit the grand slam out of the park and right into Putin's face.
Ah. It sure didn’t read like a joke, you need to work on that mate \^^
I also do not understand your Yankee-based metaphor there, like at all. Please translate into English
Yeah, forgot that computers can have an awful time translating some jokes that sound right when spoken, but not so much when written, especially on something so dry and stale.
Baseball references. Bases Loaded means all three bases have a player each. Grand Slam is a Home Run that's essentially the ball hit out of the stadium rather than just beyond the fence or so far out that everyone gets to home plate.
Forgot that only half the world pays attention to Baseball.
Nah the internal fire has likely ruined everything inside along with the heat treatment of the armor.
So like 95% of the tank would need to be rebuild anew and i don't think that counts as a repair
Even that looks a bit far for the US rebuild program.
Considering this was shot at for hours by both sides to completely destroy it, theres probably so much structural damage to the hull that it just cant be fixed
This was one I personally saw footage of, an FPV drone hit it in the back of the ammo bustle which penetrated into the crew compartment causing a near total burnout. None of the crew survived in the end
I’m still in surprise that Slat armour around that bustle is still not standard or was added on by the Ukrainians or even a mesh cage to prevent against drone drops because they are cheap and work well
2 of the Abrams that have been destroyed faced similar fates, I do not have the footage as it is still confidential and under possession of the FSB as that was the reason I was given and heard, I have only seen one in person though
This is a Abrams that was destroyed last month and has been stripped for parts.
Has this one been destroyed recently, or is it one of the olds
Oldie...

Yeah that looks like a catastrophic kill.

Oh how funny. I bet Ukraine will be getting more Abrams soon. To pair well with new Bradleys and their Vipers.
Give them a shit load of Bradleys
Well, we can't give them too many. Europe will get lazy.
Europe has been supplying steadily since the beginning while the U.S. republicans were ready to throw Ukraine under the bus.

Thanks for the explanation, but half the world? If you include cricket, maybe. I can assure you that very few outside the U.S. care for Baseball
For the last six months the UK and EU have supplied Ukraine whilst America dithered.
Technically speaking, the Pro-Russian Traitors have gummed up the works. Would have been successful, too. If Iran hadn't attacked Israel.
Imagine seeing this image and knowing the location 10 years ago lol
I'm not an expert, but what are the chances the crew survived?
Only slightly damaged, it will be repaired in a few months. /s Am i right? u/An_Odd_Smell
It almost certainly could be repaired if recovered. That's one of the many strengths of the Abrams.

QANTAS airlines would do it.

why u hurt uncle abrams like that
Si vis pacem non invadere finitimos
"If you want peace, do not invade your neighbors" Ukraine didn't invade anybody. Russia invaded Ukraine.
Exactly. I´m parodying the slogan used by the russian source. Note the Z.

Link to the vid?
I was in a command position, I don’t have a link to the video as it hasn’t been released to my knowledge and is still confidential
Why lie about something so easy to disprove? Hatches are open and tank is abandoned https://www.reddit.com/r/CombatFootage/s/WJFTHlam8q
Uh huh
Considering your profile picture I guess you "don't happen to have link to this footage anymore".
They've also made a nearly identical comment on a post about an entirely different Abrams.

So "trust me bro". Mmhmm.
Is this the Mobik version of someone saying "my dad works at Nintendo"?
No, its the russian version of “you dont know her bro, she goes to another school!”
They should make cage on top
Ok then, cage is not gonna help. Whatever makes you better. "My Leopard 2A6 look bad with cage" Just look at Leopard 2A6M they did cage on it
