Michael Kofman, director of research programs for Russia at the US Naval Research Center, argues that Western, and especially German tanks, cannot change the course of the conflict in Ukraine. It has been reported Der Spiegel.
According to him, tanks will not be a “magic wand”.
The analyst claims that even the HIMARS long-range missile launchers have lost their importance. Kofman believes that in a normal situation, a particular type of weapon has the greatest impact when used for the first time in a conflict.
He added that thousands of tanks were destroyed on Ukrainian soil.
“I do not believe that Western tanks are superior to Russian tanks enough to change the whole situation,” said the analyst.
