Video of the destruction of the US-made main battle tank was published in the Yemen Observer's Twitter account.
The battle took place in Jizan province in southern Saudi Arabia. The attackers tried to intercept a single Abrams tank that was moving without infantry support. In a short film, it depicts the scene of a fighting tank firing shells at the Hussites.
In the collision, the tank was hit by bullets, the leadership team escaped from the long-distance battle and fled. Rebels set fire to the captured Abrams tank. There was no specific information about what type of weapon the US tank was fired from.
The M1 Abrams is the main battle tank line of the United States. The M1 Abrams has been mass-produced since 1980, and is currently in the armed forces of several countries, including Saudi Arabia.
In Yemen, since August 2014, the confrontation between government forces and Shiite Hussite rebels from the Ansar alle movement has continued. The fighting moved to a more active phase after the Saudi Arabian-led coalition joined the war in March 2015.
