On February 24, 2024, a significant event unfolded on the battlefield when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation reported the destruction of a rare piece of American-supplied military machinery resembling the M1 Abrams tank. This unique vehicle, known as the M1150, held vital strategic importance not only for Ukraine but also for the United States. Surprisingly, it was destroyed by a T-72B3 tank with its first shot during a skirmish, which highlights the unexpected turn of events in modern warfare.
The incident occurred approximately a kilometer away from the main battle, near the tranquil village of Petrovske, as observed by experts from a Russian think-tank, Rybar. Their findings raised questions about Ukraine's lack of backup to protect such a valuable asset in close proximity to the battleground. This event compounded the confirmation of three destroyed M1 tanks, with two specifically identified in the Avdiivka region.
