The preference for T-72's over Leopards are a given. Too much of a logistical burden for the Ukrainians to field Leopard 2's compared to T-72's, along with difficulties in familiarizing tank crews with Leopards as opposed to T-72's. Better to have companies or slightly reduced performance tanks with crews that are very familiar with them, than higher performing tanks with crews unfamiliar with them.

Haven't tanks been deemed "obsolete" by the "experts" since WW1? 🤣

@101jir The problem is that some laymen assume that just because a weapon system can be destroyed by another weapon system it somehow makes the former weapon system obsolete. Which is a silly notion. If you know a thing or two about warfare, you know that in order to judge the effectiveness of a weapon system you have to look at the costs and the means of deployment and movement of it. A cruiser can smite any tank using it's long range artillery weaponry. But how much does a tank cost compared to a cruiser? And where can the cruiser be deployed as opposed to where the tank can be deployed? These are the critical questions to ask.

@tonysu8860 You need to learn more about the importance of logistics, friend. The american Sherman tank in WW2 was pretty weak compared tp German tanks too. But who won the war?
