A Single US M1 Abrams Crew Was Surrounded by T-72s... And Destroyed Them All

On February 26, 1991, deep in the Iraqi desert, a platoon of elite Soviet-built T-72 tanks engaged a single unidentified target in a blinding sandstorm. They fired their best armor-piercing rounds. They scored direct hits. But the enemy didn't stop.

This video reveals the terrifying true story of the Battle of 73 Easting from the enemy's perspective. Discover how the secret technology inside the M1 Abrams—Depleted Uranium armor, thermal imaging, and the "Silver Bullet"—didn't just win a battle, but shattered the Soviet Union’s military reputation forever. This is the moment the Cold War balance of power truly ended.
