M-1 Tanks Will Be A Giant Pain To Maintain


Take Forbes word for it if you trust non-military to tell you anything about military things. Use reputable military sites if you want to learn anything or ask your friendly tanker NCO.

According to some military people who operated M1s they are not all that difficult to maintain and easier than others like the Leopard MBTs.

So look here: even the Saudis - arguably the worst army in the world - maintains them, not to mention the Iraqis. The UA will have no problem.

“Ukrainian Army technicians speaking to Financial Times talked about the ‘sharp complication of training’ and compared the transfer from Soviet tanks to modern ones with the difference between ‘a 1950s car and a sports car.’”
