Quote:The real question is how Ukraine intends to use these weapons. Just having them will help a little. Replacing BMPs with them will help, because they are newer and "better". Using them as they were designed to be used can tip the balance. So far, Ukraine has done a great job with most of the stuff they have been given. These "new" IFVs, to be a game changer, need to be employed differently than Ukraine currently has been using their existing IFVs. This will be more difficult than some other things Ukraine has adopted, because it requires more widespread training, but so far Ukraine has always stepped up.
Goose, you raise a good question. Do you think Ukrainian troops being trained in Europe will be working on these tactics? Hopefully the theoretical tactics have already been taught, and better yet, maybe they've been using these vehicles in training. I just wonder with the amounts of troops being trained in Europe, they could probably be trained as an autonomous brigade/division, with newer doctrine applied.
