This is extremely bad news for Russia. The more United States weapons that Ukraine has, the more territory it will be able to take back and the more likely it is for them to outright win the war.

We aren't delivering our best Abrams, unfortunately. Everything we can give them helps, but I'm not convinced these will be the big game changer some people think they will be.

It will defintely help, but they been struggling with tanks as Russia heavily fortified the whole frontiline with anti-tank mines and trenches.

Agreed, though notably those anti-tank defenses thus far have gone up against primarily Russian and Soviet Union tanks, I'm curious to see how they fare against American ones.

They been also using a few Leopard tanks they have, but yeah, will see how good Abrams are.
