Ukraine just may be out of time to get new tanks there with trained crews, ammunition, and logistics at this point.

Unless they are just going to bring them in with American and German crews.

“Ukraine just may be out of time to get new tanks there with trained crews, ammunition, and logistics at this point.”

Excellent observation. An Abrahms M1A2 isn’t a new car or truck that a person just drives off the lot at the dealership. It is a monster war fighting vehicle that requires “a minimum of a few weeks to a few months for a soldier to operate the tank at a “BASIC” level.
