Russia announced it is done with it's first phase and just focusing on Donestsk. Giving them the Polish aircraft, a few harpoons, a dozen or so M-1 tanks, some S-300s in western Ukraine shouldn't be an issue.

Just as the general was going to talk about the M-1 and I suppose assess it’s capabilities against the T-80s etc., she cut him off.

U.S. tanks are overbuilt. The Russian ones are necessarily cheap. I doubt Russia's newer T-14 could hold a candle to the M-1.
