News Riddle Digital Desk: Two years have passed. But the picture of the Russia-Ukraine war has not changed much. Attacks and counter-attacks are still in the war zone. The Russian military has intensified attacks in the past few months. Until now, the tanks provided by America were being used as a shield by Ukraine on the frontline. However, Kiev is removing those advanced tanks from the battlefield. But why?
America has been helping Ukraine with weapons since Russia started military operations in 2022. Armed with US weapons, the Ukrainian army is retaliating against the Russian forces. In 2023, Washington gave Kiev 31 state-of-the-art Abrams tanks. Now these tanks are being removed from the battlefield. Because the number of Russian drone attacks is increasing day by day. The Ukrainian army is not able to stop the attack due to the weakness of the air defense system. Russian surveillance drones cannot be detected at the right time. And the US tanks are being damaged in this attack by Moscow. Already 5 out of 31 have been destroyed.

Two US Army officials told the AP news agency, “The situation on the battlefield has changed a lot. Now you can’t drive anywhere in Ukraine without fear. Now Russia has increased its use of surveillance drones. Russian forces detect US tanks and attack quickly. As a result, it became difficult for Ukraine to protect the tanks.” It is known that America and Ukraine are discussing a new strategy to counter Moscow’s attack.
It should be noted that last week, Russia hit Ukraine again. At least 17 people lost their lives in the Russian missile attack. At least 61 people were injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky blamed his own weak air defense system for the incident. “Had we had adequate air defences, this attack could have been prevented,” he said angrily. This time, American tanks are being removed from the battlefield due to the fear of this Russian drone.
