Yeah, Ukraine is winning on twitter... Real life is a completely different matter. Ukraine had 1990 tanks before the war. Almost all of them were lost along with hundreds of polish tanks that were sent there. To send western tanks there is a clear sign of desperation. If it were even a bit rational, these tanks would be in Ukraine long ago. Take Challenger 2. It's virtually impossible to repair them in Ukraine and they are notoriously unreliable. They have rifle barrel unlike all other modern tanks, so they need specific shells. Due maintenance is also highly questionable in Ukraine. It means logistical nightmare and probably extremely poor performance. After all UK managed to sell this junk only to Oman after a lot of arms twisting and bribes.
