We are talking as if there is another Cold War with Russia. Where's Ronald Reagan when you need him?

US M1 (M1A2) Abrams vs Russian T-90 S - Main Battle Tank / Military Comparison
The United States and Russia, two military powerhouses, have had their fair share of arms races over the years. We thought it would be interesting to compare...
The upgraded M1A2 is a more expensive (almost twice the cost), slightly slower, main battle tank that would be adequate but possibly more vulnerable to the Russian T-90S. Here is a cool video showing the comparison. https://youtu.be/OlegqcKpdXs
In any case, with this sale, the military industrial complex is running full steam ahead. With the conflict in Ukraine, contractors are making money hand over fist, and the payoffs, black market and money laundering associated with these sales are truly mind boggling. It seems that every week there is another military aid package for Ukraine from the US or some other NATO country. My question is, where are the trained Ukrainian military personnel to operate all of this hardware? A US team of military logisticians receive the donations and then ship them out to whom? How? Where?

I think any comparison to Russian equipment is flawed. The equipment has shown not to be as advertised and promoted, the ability of Russian crews is suspect and the logistics trail is almost non existent. Propaganda.

1SG Russell S. - What's funny, 1SG, is that almost any comparison you find criticizes advertised specs on Russian weapons and training, and won't even discuss the classified aspects of US weapons claims. It is kabuki. Proof is on the battlefield - which, God willing, we will never experience.
