No matter how good the tank, you get it bogged down and its a sitting duck that will not survive. If it was us, we'd clear the minefields by carpet bombing roads through with B 52s and then combat bulldozers and then let the tanks thru to exploit the breach. Without that, the Ukrainians have a much harder row to hoe and will have difficulty getting the most out of the tanks. I salute their ongoing bravery but do not envy them their task.

use them wisely, like the leopards..
I've seen some amazing mine cleariing efforts in Ukraine. Thermal imaging "hot" mines and finding their location. Drone carried metal detectors locating mines for the sappers. Then the old school chain slappers on tank bodies.
Necessities are the mothers of inventions...
I just want this stupid senseless war to end and stop the killing.
