A real M1 Abrams tank in the field in Ukraine.
  • A Ukrainian tank crew told state media they're still using the Abrams tank on the front lines.
  • The report comes after the Pentagon said Ukraine had pulled back its Abrams tanks over concerns of drone attacks.
  • A Ukrainian Abrams commander told Army TV that the tanks weren't withdrawn but are used situationally.
