    Maybe, if is equipped with sensors capable of tracking said drones in time.

    Modern anti-tank weapons have killed Abrams, Challenger 2, Leopard 2, T-90, etc. T-55 are in good company.

    T-55 are used (mostly) for direct fire support. They have plenty of ammo for them, and they are more armored than any arty piece, and plenty of these on stock, so is a logical use of resources.

    Considering is health, it is more probable that the next US president will die first.

    The nations that hate Russia are the Anglos - because they are adversaries. Or in the words of one American president - because Russia is too strong, too rich, too big, and too independent. The EU are just US vassals (at least the politicians), that are right now busy destroying their economies...

    France or the crazy Macron? Exist a difference between what a nation thinks and a deluded ending term 'leader' regurgitates. The Baltics never counted. Finland switch position the moment they sense is dangerous for them.

    The day after Germany broke from the US control, they ask Russia for commercial terms and conditions. The only doubt is how much time Germany needs to break free. Hint - is not going to be with the actual gov.

    Zach, Zach, stop drinking what you are drinking. Is too strong for your body/brain. The so tired excuse that is always the guilt of the politicians is not working anymore. The EU? They are just waiting for an excuse to re-enact good commercial relations with Russia. Just ask Germany. Oh, wait...

    LOL, nope. Only that the US uses and abuses lame excuses to exit conflicts that enter without any idea of why is in. And don't even convey adult excuses to exit. Just the US international 'life' in the last 70 years.

    On that, we are in agreement. This is only going to end when the US - like in many other conflicts - throws the towel to the ground and invents some lame excuses to withdraw.

    Continue to drink in your little propaganda, the reality of the frontlines don't care about your little dreams.

    Funny, because today, said side is clearly winning. Maybe something is wrong with your side's propaganda?

    Sure you can. If you are lucky with the first shots and destroy the sensors, after that you are going against a mostly blind adversary. Yes, you can't turret launch an Abrams, but you can kill it. You are probably talking about one of my older stories on alternatehistory.com.

    As I said before, any tank/all tank class/variants in use in the world are vulnerable to arty, modern ATGMs, top attack weapons of all kinds, etc. So, no surprise. In a war that has a massive saturation of detection systems, as soon as the Abrams is deployed, is detected, attacked, and...

    An F-15 is a much bigger/easier target than a drone/missile for any S-300/350/400/BUK.
