The 47th Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Ground Forces has recently received US-delivered Abrams tanks, with the original tank battalion returning under their command. The first video showcasing the M1A1 Abrams main battle tank (MBT) in action has been released, showing its operation in the service of the 47th Mechanized Brigade northwest of Avdiivka.

This footage marks the first instance of the M1A1 Abrams tank being used directly on the frontlines near Avdiivka, in the Donetsk region, an area recently captured by the Russian Armed Forces.
