US and Germany ready to send tanks to Ukraine
After months of reluctance, the US and Germany reportedly plan to send tanks to Ukraine, in what Kyiv hopes will be a game-changer on the battlefield.
US President Joe Biden's administration is expected to announce plans to send at least 30 M1 Abrams tanks.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has also reportedly decided to send at least 14 Leopard 2 tanks.

Putin has stated that ' ' this takes the conflict to a new level ' '
Of course- a ' new level ' is what NATO wants. The lunatics have taken over.
" First they came for the journalists...
We don't know what happened after that . "

14 tanks is a company of tanks. NATO tanks sometimes act alone, but usually work in company strength. The strategy, and a fair bit of the technology is built around 14: three platoons of four tanks, a command tank, and a executive officer tank.
Russia does not have much air support in Ukraine, so a company of NATO tanks, in theory, would be very difficult to stop... If it can cross the Dnieper River, and stay supplied. Yes, that is a "in theory" followed by two ifs, but it is about the best the Ukrainians can hope for.
30 Abrams tanks is two NATO companies of tanks with two replacement tanks. In theory(that word again), Germans would be able to replace losses as they happened, but American replacements would take longer.
Theories are better than just prayers, so the Ukrainians are doing better than before.
And seriously, if they can get tanks and supplies over the river, they could have a major breakthrough. They could actually win the war with a few dozen tanks.

"No, Trump isn't a fascist, tatt boy." - moon
Not to mention that everyone in that part of the world just trusts German engineering. Heck we trust it to, which is why the Germans designed the turret on the Abrams.
The NATO tanks are far from interchangeable, but they all made most of the same design decisions. It is fair to just refer to NATO tanks.
