“From what I’m reading Ukraine will be getting tanks that are vastly superior to the Russian T-72’s they will be up against”
Not disputing this but how much tank on tank warfare is really going on. Someone needs to convince me??
Not very much tank-on-tank apparently.
The big point of the “western” tanks is their offensive capability. They are apparently better protected than what Ukraines got now, plus they have excellent thermal sights, so they would be more useful in attacking entrenched Russian infantry, to permit the Ukrainians to break through.
Ukraine has to attack to take back their lost territory, in order to achieve their war goals.
