As I had pointed out many times in well over the last year plus, the Ukrainian War will be won or lost by original or updated variants of Soviet era tanks and some newer ones since.
The plain truth is the
NATO countries don't have the tanks to spare as most, as with our
ABRAMS are being
modernized for their own defense.
This article does discuss this issue along with a cheaper and easier
possible solution which the Ukraine already has some of as pictured in the article as well.

(From FORBES)
Current Ukrainian armor losses from
ORNX. Foreign units are shown by their Country flags as are Russian captured ones by
both Soviet and current flag.
A couple that caught my eye are the
M-55S which was pretty much the first foreign tank to serve and the longest; listed at the top of the list on the
GOOD.
And the
Bradley ODAS well, it
ain't pretty as it's from us and that means everyone incapacitated is a propaganda victory for the Russians and the numbers show that. They might have
~20 left at this point after the last shipment.
