Hi there, it’s #Stacey #Abrams – have a minute?
Democrats need to do everything we can to protect our Senate majority.
That includes electing #Lisa #Blunt #Rochester as 
️the next Senator from Delaware.
If elected, she wouldn’t just help us save the Senate,
she’d also be the 
fourth Black woman to ever serve in the body.
That’s a big deal, but it doesn’t come without its hurdles.
Studies have shown that Black women only raise 
one-third of what their white counterparts do.
And in a race like Lisa’s, that’s enough to swing this race towards Republicans. So, I need your help.
Lisa urgently needs our support in this fight,
so will you chip in $10 or more to help her keep Delaware and the Senate blue this fall?
Lisa needs to raise $25,000 by midnight -- so any amount helps.
ActBlueI just donated to send Lisa Blunt Rochester to the Senate!Join our fight to make history!
Ukrainian crews working on #US-supplied #Abrams tanks have told CNN of a series of the weaknesses and flaws with the armored vehicles, calling into doubt their utility on the war’s ever-changing frontlines.
“Its armor is not sufficient for this moment,” said one crew member, callsign Joker. “It doesn’t protect the crew. For real, today this is the war of drones. So now, when the tank rolls out, they always try to hit them.”

Another article about how drone warfare maybe doesn't make the MBT fully obsolete but changes are necessary also with NATO armies to protect them better from small drone strikes.

"A laser-detection system may have saved the two Abrams that fell victim to Kornets or similar missiles. But it wouldn’t have prevented the other loss. Nor would it prevent what’s almost certain to happen in the coming weeks and months as the war grinds on and the other 28 M-1s keep fighting: losses to mines, artillery and possibly even other tanks.
The M-1 is a tough tank. But it’s no more...

The first of 31 M1 #Abrams tanks arrived in Ukraine today, months ahead of schedule.
#Ukraine originally wanted 300 western tanks for their counteroffensive but it has only been a slow trickle so far. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/25/world/europe/us-abrams-tanks-ukraine.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
