From the earliest days of the
Great Patriotic War, Lieutenant Abramishvili fought on the North-Western Front as a member of the 440th and 3rd Guard Fighter Aviation Regiments and by the end of 1941 had flown more than 100 flight missions and claimed a total of 8 enemy aircraft shot down. In the summer of 1942 he participated in the
Battle of Stalingrad as part of the 273rd Fighter Regiment, flying the
LaGG-3. In an air battle over the city Kalach, Abramishvili shot down two
Messerschmitt Bf 109, but was hit himself, managing to bail out by parachute. Thereafter he managed to down another six enemy aircraft, becoming an ace with a total of 16 personal victories and 81 pair victories. Abramishvili is also credited with downing 11 enemy aircraft during a single air mission. On 30 November 1942, during a fierce battle over
Pitomnik Airfield, Captain Abramashvili's aircraft was hit by German fighter ace Oblt.

Seriously wounded, but still in control of his damaged aircraft, his fellow wingmen reported he took deliberate aim on a group of German military equipment and after firing several bursts, he directly collided into a fuel dump. A series of explosions killed and injured a number of German personnel and several vehicles were destroyed or damaged nearby.
