Russian ATGMs are not as good. The Turks suffered losses in Syria sending tanks unsupported by infantry, which I do not think the Ukrainians are stupid enough to do. The big problem is artillery, which means they would have to keep moving.

Thanks, in a well trained force, I am sure combined arms are quite effective, I just wanted to know if the Ukrainians will be able to use these effectively, or if they will just become burning coffins like the russian tanks seem to have become.

If we actually sent Ukraine a reasonable number of HIMARS and M777-ER’s, the Ukies could do a good job of keeping Russkie arty off the tanks. The Ukies would still have the larger Russian drones to worry about, though.
