The Ukrainian army doesn’t say no to armored vehicles. Whatever surplus tanks, fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers and reconnaissance vehicles some ally offers, the army happily accepts.
Balanced, that is, by the usual NATO standards. At the moment, the Ukrainians have a bunch of new infantry fighting vehicles as well as lightly-armored tanks that nonetheless have effective main guns. Theyyet have many of the new heavy tanks that NATO countries have pledged, but which still are winding their way into Ukraine.
Analysts have thought through a possible tank-less future and arrived at a simple solution. Replace tanks with missiles. The 47th’s tank battalion got those 28 super-upgraded ex-Slovenian M-55S tanks—Soviet T-55s with Israeli electronics and British 105-millimeter guns. The brigade’s three mechanized battalions are getting some of the 109 M-2 infantry fighting vehicles the United States has pledged to Ukraine.
