Russian officials have shown 'a pervasive anxiety over potential Ukrainian counteroffensive actions,' one assessment said on Wednesday.
But although the equipment—along with the upgraded capabilities it offers—is important, training is crucial to the counteroffensive's success, experts say.
"You can survive on a lot less equipment if you actually know what you're doing," Glen Grant, former British Army officer, now based with the Baltic Security Foundation in Riga, Latvia. Each of the donated tanks are different, with contrasting characteristics, he told, but"to actually to break through, they're going to need to put them together and to fight as concentrated groups" with the rest of Ukraine's capabilities.
Ukraine may have invested additional time in preparation, training and planning in order to give its counteroffensive the best chance of success, David Dunn, professor of political science at Birmingham University, U.K., said. "Ukraine has one go at this, and it's hugely important that it's as successful as possible," both militarily and politically, Dunn toldAt the end of March, the U.K. government said Ukrainian tank personnel had completed their training on the British Challenger 2 main battle tanks in the U.K., with Ukrainian soldiers training on the Leopards across Europe.
