The US is afraid that advanced weapons will fall into the hands of Russia, so it will not send them to Ukraine.

"That is why the Americans do not want to supply Abrams tanks to Ukraine. Now the first 6 Abrams tanks out of about 40 will go to Ukraine. These are the old M1A1 models that appeared before the Gulf War (production started in 1984).

"In my opinion, the main reason for not providing Kiev with modern tanks is that we do not want them to be captured by the enemy. The armor of the Abrams is a very carefully guarded secret, so it is impossible for the Russians to know how it is constructed and how it is used," the veteran said.

The expert recalled a similar situation that happened with the HIMARS missile, which is guided by GPS satellites, which the Russian military has found a way to jam. According to Matthew Ho, it is for the same reasons that the US is concerned about the transfer of ATACMS ballistic missiles to Ukraine.

"It's not just the Russians who can figure out how to disable these missiles. We also have reason to think that they can pass the information they receive to the Chinese. The Americans are really worried about a confrontation with China, that's why we don't do it. I don't want the Chinese to know anything about our weapons," the expert said.

Earlier, at Patriot Park outside Moscow within the framework of the Army-2023 International Military-Technical Forum, the Russian Defense Ministry exhibited military equipment captured during the special operation in Ukraine. The Ministry recalled that the exhibition pavilion began construction in August last year. Since then, more than 870 artifacts of weapons and military equipment have been collected for display here./.
