UA crew opinion on M1A1 Abrams.

This was a political hit piece.

The same issues that the Abrams is having can be said for EVERY Western tank sent to Ukraine.

One thing though.  Is it possible that sending even our "outdated" MBT/Armor to Ukraine or any other client state that does not have proper infrastructure a failure?  Would old M60s with add on armor have been a better thing for them?  The interviewee did state that they use it more for infantry support AND mobile artillery than they do for tank vs tank roles.

Ukraine is a weird war within a corrupt country.  They ask for F-16s when it would seem that they would want to grab every A-10 possible so that they could support their frontline troops.

They want F-16s when they should want a real deal missile truck and the US Navy/Marines have early model F/A-18s sitting in the desert.

They comment on getting gear late but their requests are always damn near EMERGENCY requests.  They respond to Russian action instead of making the Russians respond to their new operating modes.

The Ukrainians are fighting this war stupidly.  I don't believe Zelensky even has support from his own population and his "acting" on the international stage has become old and stale (will someone tell this bastard to buy a damn suit!).  They're running out of soldiers.  NATO appears to be tapped out.  

I believe historians will say that they failed Ukrainian counteroffensive, that they were warned NOT to do, was the turning point of this war.
