Re: MBT's
So the US and NATO should be sending them state of the art tanks?
The idea is to keep Russia stuck in a quagmire, not cause them to gain access to new technology easier than their normal ways.
The idea alone that NATO countries are even giving them anything is a major shift from their stands 8 years ago. Plus it makes sense, to get rid of the crap you have in storage, and thus you no longer have to worry about it.
Anything else lends to profiting by the MIC (Military Industrial Complex) and their greedy little eyes and mouths are already salivating since we have depleted the ready stock of Javelins and other ATGMs and thus need to buy more to replace things...
Also, Ukraine is in no position to be crying about the aid, they are the beggars in this scenario, not the choosers.
If the equipment is used correctly with good tactics and such, then operationally it should give them something to throw the Russians back, something we haven't seen much of from them.
