Footage provided to the news agency shows the Lancet kamikaze drone hitting the tank in a wooded area.
"Today a Ukrainian M1A1SA Abrams was hit by a Russian Lancet UAV near Avdeyevka. The servicemen of the Center group of forces did their job", - said the source.
According to him, it remains to be seen whether the tank was destroyed. It will take some time to confirm the destruction, the source explained.
"However, you can see with your own eyes our loitering ammunition hammering the American machine," the source concluded.
Earlier, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that five Abrams tanks had been destroyed in the special military operation zone.
The US vowed to supply the Kiev regime with 31 Abrams, while the media reported that the deliveries began in September 2023. Russian officials repeatedly stressed that arms deliveries to Ukraine would only fuel and prolong the conflict, with no chance of influencing the course of the special military operation.
