Nothing in that article about guidance. Spray-and-pray?

This single tank, without apparent infantry support, slowly driving forwards and backwards doesn't seem to correspond with the Abram's intended doctrine.

The Ukrainians have used this tactic to good effect and the M1 would be well suited for this type of operation.

And I *almost* have pity for the poor SoBs on the pointy end.

*almost*

Up to 180K Russians flee Ukraine’s continued offensive

Kyiv’s forces advance further into Russian territory and have reportedly managed to repel Moscow’s attempts to reinforce defending troops.

My favourite part of this paper is: -

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was briefed on Monday by senior military commanders, and was told by Oleksandr Syrskyi, the country's top general, that Ukraine controls about 1,000 square kilometres of Russian territory.

"The situation is under our control," Syrskyi said.

They really need to work on their definition of Situation is under control

It depends on how and why they're using it. Colorado, a Sherman on Tarawa, was also not used IAW doctrine, but where needs must, soldiers will.

Therw has been several videos posted at funker530, showing the Ukrainians using this tactic.

Earlier in the war, the UAF 47th Mechanized had a T-80M that was seen doing this erratic (for lack of an official term) maneuver and was tearing Russians to shreds.

More recently, a Ukrainian M2 Bradley engaged a Russian tank in this fashion and overwhelmed the Russian tank's ability to target it while the Bradley's autocannon mauled the Russian tank's optics and sensors and eventually took it out.
