Training on modern tanks takes time, years even. The Ukrainians are trained on 30 year old tanks.

So these 200 tanks are useful.

But still the number one supplier of tanks to the Ukrainians during this war is Russia leaving behind stuff

Also, the Russians are using 30 year old tanks as well so there's no real disadvantage to the Ukrainians.

200 operational tanks actually will be damn useful, particularly when cold weather hits and they can roll south across the steppes to the Black Sea.

My bet is that by spring, the Russian will no longer have a land bridge with Crimea. And there's a chance they'll have no bridge at all.

I understand the training, but we saw this in the Gulf War: there was just no battle when M1s were aligned against older Soviet tanks. We had kill ratios of 10:1 and more.

Ah Ha, you figured out Russia’s strategy.

They have given the Ukes their ‘pop-top’ tanks !
