    Lmfao at all these armchair generals who think tanks present a challenge to a guerilla groups, let alone a modern Russian army.

    2006 Lebanon was literally a refutation.

      Any tank is better than no tank. But at the end of the day war is a numbers game. Ukraine started with over a thousand tanks and lost most of them. Russia still has many thousands and can make many more. A few hundred western tanks will be annoying and prolong the fighting for a few more months but will not change the balance of power or the trajectory of the war.

      I mean, a tank is a threat to guerilla groups, unless they have RPGs or ATGMs. And even then - modern tanks have systems for detecting being getting aimed at with laser targeters. And they have longer range. And never travel alone (unless the commanding officer is a moron).
