Devastating if true. Is this fallout from the new commander?

3 Abrams seems likely, Bradleys probably as well and at least one HIMARS. Also they could have destroyed a Patriot battery and a NASAM radar. But hey, it's war, those aren't indestructible. I also"admire" US with "here, take 30 'not even a better model' Abrams and go win the war against Russia", no more help from us required.

Yeah. Losses are to be expected from materiel that is in use, and people shouldn’t be surprised when western equipment shows up in loss statistics. It wouldn’t be a problem or even that noteworthy if the US could pull its head out.
