Thank you for the detailed analysis. I have a notion that the US and NATO are not sending their main battle tanks for several reasons, one is that they don't want to deplete their own stocks, but more importantly, they don't want to endure the embarrassment of having them fare poorly on the battlefield. They are not particularly durable and reliable under harsh battlefield conditions, and require too much tending and maintenance. They would almost certainly be dispatched quickly on the front lines which would be highly embarrassing and telling of the paper tiger nature of Western armaments. They are often too complicated and too prone to problems. They were built for profit, not for war.

The 55 ton Abrams tank is a fuel hog at 0.6 mpg. The Leopard has greater range with diesel fuel. How will they be able to supply them with enough fuel to move them across Ukraine without working trains? And then supply them with fuel across long supply lines without any air cover? Seems likely that by the time they arrive they will primarily used for defensive counterattacks rather than leading offensives east of the Dnieper.

Yes, I expect they will need them in western Ukraine in the spring, just to shore up new defensive lines. They might even put them in trenches and use them more as stationary guns, if they use them at all. It is mostly for show for the western media, and maybe to try and keep moral up. There is almost no chance they will be used successfully for any type of mobile offensive.

The biggest urban myth is that ukro "human" resources are approaching their end. Nothing can be further from the truth. In hypothetical scenario, there are still 9 million adult males and up to 2 million can be still mobilized, realistically which is basically already happening.

It is almost guaranteed that there will be a new ukro offensive in Zaporozhye (similar to Kharkov and Kherson) to reach Azov sea or Melitopol and subsequently another Russian "regrouping" to save lives. The necessary equipment is already on the way.

Well Patrick you seem to have created your own urban myth.
