Before we send in our glorious Wonder Weapons, we have to remove the stuff that keeps the Russians from blowing them up.

M1 Abrams Tanks In U.S. Inventory Have Armor Too Secret To Send To Ukraine

M1 tanks will be heading to Ukraine, but they can’t just be pulled from U.S. stocks due to their sensitive armor.

I was in a cavalry unit when the m1a1 first came out, everyone in the unit had to have top secret clearance. One time in the field a tank was wrecked and a panel bent and cracked open and you could see what was inside. Within minutes they had large steel plates put over the tank in question, a mylar tarp suspended above that and camo netting put up above that so no satalite imaged could be taken of the damage.

That was true several decades ago, but since we have used them in numerous wars and left damaged ones abandoned. Everyone in the world has got their hands on these and copied the tech.
