Even if you dropped 1000 tanks or some other number of tanks into Ukraine today, it would take months to become competent in mobile tank warfare.

The Ukrainian Army is actually competent at tank warfare. It is an important part of their training and doctrine.

The parts, fuel and ammunition would also need to be delivered, plus several months of training before they can be used.

This is the problem. The actual use of M1s require thorough training and an enormous on-ground support structure, both at field level and depot level.

The Iraqi Republican Guard was supposedly competent in tank warfare in the first Gulf War using Russian T-72 tanks and got destroyed by American M1 tanks I would roughly equate it to very competent NASCAR driver being thrown into an F1 car, it’s going to take time to get up to speed
