Apparently its been decided by the allies to send MBTs to Ukraine. Wonder what changed? The idea that the Ukrainians will employ these vehicles as part of a coherent Brigade Combat Team or the Ukrainian equivalent is batshit crazy. My only guess is that the allies are trying to change the dynamics on the ground in an ATTEMPT to shorten this war.

I don't think they'll succeed though.

When was the last time the US fought/participated in a successful short war?

Gulf War 1?  Even then we were back soon after.

I think we're gonna see a decades long conflict here.  China still hasn't raised its head and I don't think it will sit on the sidelines much longer.
