Pretty likely I think.

ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT OVER EUROPE — The U.S. military has launched an expanded, more sophisticated training program of Ukrainian forces that is focused on large-scale combat and meant to bolster Ukraine’s ability to take back territory from Russian forces, the Pentagon’s top general said Sunday.

Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said on a flight from Washington to Europe that the training began Sunday at the Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany and will continue for five or six weeks. About 500 soldiers will go through the initial version of training, focused on what the military calls combined-arms warfare, in which tanks, artillery, combat vehicles and other weapons are layered to maximize the violence they inflict.

....

Other nations, including Britain, Poland and France, have pledged complementary weapons, including battle tanks, and Ukraine has pressured Germany to do the same. Milley said the challenge will be determining how quickly the Ukrainian military will be ready and trained to use all of the new military equipment. The situation will be eased because some of the Ukrainian forces already are familiar with other armored weapons, such as the T-72 tank.

“It’ll take a bit of time,” Milley said. “Five, six, seven, eight weeks, who knows. We’ll see what happens here. But in terms of the criticality of it, the need is now.”

Nice to see there is a sense of urgency on his part. It is only going to snow 6 of the next 13 days :-). Unfortunately not a great time to be training there, but then again that is what the troops will be fighting in, at least for a while. One "interesting" fact is that the Ukrainians will have a new "specialty" to train for. Unlike the T-72 and the Leopard, the Challenger (and the Abrams) don't have autoloaders. They will now have a new crew member, the loader, to deal with. The good news is that is considered the "entry level" position:-). Let's see how they do on the tank range after 8 weeks when it is snowing. That will reveal a lot. The training there can be real good. The Ukrainians will be as ready as the time allows. Take a look at https://fixbayonets.us/range-301-a-summe...lackhorse/ This training incident show what happens to even experienced soldiers. This is a great opportunity for the Ukrainian troops. Let's hope for the best!
