The Russian military has captured an American-made M1150 Assault Breacher Vehicle (ABV) from Kiev forces in the Donetsk direction.
Prominent Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov published on April 24 Video footage and photos on his Telegram channel showing the damaged engineering vehicle being towed to the rear by a BREM-1 engineering vehicle of the Tsentr Group of Forces.
The vehicle was recovered from an area near the settlement of Berdycha close to the Avdeevka city, according to Solovyov. At least two ABVs were taken out by Russian troops in that direction.

The ABV was designed to clear pathways for troops and other vehicles through minefields and along roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices. The 72-ton, 12-meter vehicle is based on the M1 Abrams main battle tank with a 1,500 horsepower engine, but fitted only with a .50 BMG M2 machine gun and a front-mounted 4.6-meter plow, supported by metallic skis that glide on the dirt.
The vehicle is equipped with the Linear Demolition Charge System, which is made up of rockets carrying C-4 explosives up to 137 meters forward, detonating hidden explosives at a safe distance, so that troops and vehicles can pass through safely.
Last year, Kiev forces received an unknown number of ABVs, reportedly no more than six, from the United States along with some 31 M1A1 SA tanks.
Russia specialists will likely study the captured AVB to better understand its capabilities and weaknesses. After that, the vehicle will likely end up on display at the Kubinka tank museum near the capital, Moscow, or some other military museum in Russia.

another collectable to russia victory parade after leopards
perhaps the russians can sell it to the australians. apparently they are in dire need of this type of system.
why did the ukranians not have hundreds of these along with smoke dischargers?
if there’s anything the ukrainians are proficient at, it’s blowing smoke.
farts and burps are in shorter supply since they stopped feeding their trench rats.
game over for kiev regime and the useful idiots
what are those things in pic #3 that look like du penetrators?
pretty soon, russia will have more working american equipment than ukraine has.
who would want it at this point. shit that doesn’t work for expensive prices. maybe there’s a fool country that might bought it in the past. but the world is flat now like tom fried says, and nobody is going to pay top dollar for rushed up designs that fail.
what an overpriced piece of shit. no oversight leads to products that no dot function as well as the con artist salespersons told them. that’s okay it’s merely taxpayer money and nobody is checking. that’s how thieves work.
