In a battle that took place a few days ago near Avdeevka, a heavy engineering vehicle using the same chassis as the M1 Abrams tank, the M1150 Assault Breacher, was shot down.
M1150 Assault Breacher engineering vehicle.
This vehicle was nicknamed by the US Army as the “destroyer” of obstacles. It plays an important role in supporting military units to overcome barriers, minefields and open the way to advance.
Developed and manufactured by General Dynamics Land Systems, the M1150 engineering vehicle has a rather strange shape, but is very versatile. It is equipped with a giant plow blade that can destroy hard obstacles such as concrete walls, steel fences, mines and fortifications. In addition, the vehicle is also equipped with many other vehicles to serve minesweeping and paving roads,
The M1150 is equipped with a propulsion system similar to the M1 Abrams tank with a 1,500 horsepower gas turbine engine that helps this vehicle weighing tens of tons to maneuver well on field terrain. Armor protection equivalent to a tank helps the M1150 have high survivability when operating on the front lines.
In combat, the M1150 engineering vehicle performs the task of helping military units quickly overcome obstacles, paving the way to attack safely and effectively with minimal damage.
From actual combat in many recent conflicts, the M1150 is considered a modern and effective engineering vehicle. With its outstanding barrier-breaking ability, flexibility and safety, the M1150 is an indispensable “bulldozer” in modern military campaigns.
The appearance of M1150 engineering vehicles near Avdeeka proves that M1 Abrams tanks donated by the US to Ukraine are operating in the area. This shows that it is very likely that modern American tanks will soon encounter anti-tank weapons or Russian tanks on the battlefield.
