Just logistically speaking, imagine needing to send dozens of different types of dozens of spare parts to different sections of a thousand-mile wide front line, with different types, shapes and calibers of ammunition as well. These tanks will likely just be abandoned after they get even slightly damaged.

    Idk I find that argument a bit strange. Is Ukraine better off without tanks than with them? Not having any tanks on the front would ease Russian logistics in a massive way too, but nobody would say tanks are a detriment to Russia because of this.

    Sure, Ukraine’s AF are a messy ass hodgepodge and a logistical nightmare. But a logistical nightmare with armor is still better than one without armor I’d say. These weapons will just be less effective because of the logistics not ineffective. They’ll still kill Russians and prolong the war and that’s their purpose after all.

      Ukraine is “better off” with these Western weapons, but they will be unable to do what they are supposed to do (they’re not too good anyway) due to logistics; hence, the Westerners are giving away very expensive and almost irreplaceable weapons to accomplish nothing. The loss to the West is not justified by Ukraine’s meager gains from this donation.
