  1. An issue with sending Challengers or Abrams is that they require months of retraining of tank crews to use the equipment. This was also a problem with the Polish MiGs. They would need to be reconfigured to Ukrainian configuration or the pilots would need to be retrained on Polish systems. The shoulder fired ATGMs and MANPADS benefit is that soldiers could be trained to use them relatively quickly. That said, we might not see a big Russian push until after the wet season in Ukraine. As we’ve heard, the spring thaw is ongoing, and mud makes offensive operations more difficult. There might be time to introduce these unfamiliar-to-Ukraine systems and get the soldiers trained in time for a Russian offensive. However, Russian military has not shown itself to be strategically adept, so an attack could come at any time, even when conditions are terrible.
