[Regnum] The first American Abrams tank in the zone of a special military operation in Ukraine was shot down by an Ulyanovsk FPV drone “Piranha”. A representative of the Simbirsk Design Bureau (SKB) “Piranha” announced this on February 28.
“I received this information from a client who sent a correspondence with the battalion commander of the crew that hit the tank. There they said that it was our “Piranha”. And then the information appeared in the news and Telegram channels with footage of the burning Abrams,” TASS quotes him as saying.
He noted that the Piranha drones also hit other armored vehicles, but most of the targets were dugouts, shelters and fortifications.
A representative of SKB said that Piranha stands out among its analogues due to the unique frequencies at which it operates. According to him, no one has video transmitters on this frequency, and during testing with electronic warfare equipment, this drone was the only one that could not be suppressed.
As reported by IA Regnum, on February 26 it became known that in the Avdeevsky direction, the Russian Armed Forces for the first time knocked out an American M1 Abrams tank. The Russian military destroyed it in the area of Avdeevka (DPR), it was done by a fighter with the call sign Rassvet of the 15th Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade.
On February 27, the official representative of the Ministry of Defense, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov, confirmed the destruction of the American tank.
The Pentagon chose not to comment on reports about the Abrams tank destroyed in the special operation zone. A representative of the American military department said that this issue is within the competence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
In turn, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov noted that Abrams tanks will burn in the same way as others. He also stated that the destruction of Abrams is part of the daily, systematic, professional and dedicated work of the Russian military, which is engaged in the demilitarization of territory controlled by Kyiv.
