"The new brigades" being trained in Europe are, indeed, new brigades. The ones that are being trained on new equipment aren't. It wouldn't make sense to train conscripts on the best and most expensive pieces of equipment your army is gonna have, would it? Yeah, again, I agree. It's more like 110-120 modern Western tanks in total, which makes a huge difference. IFVs, attillery, everything, also counts. These are the numbers Valeriy Zalushnuy asked for and to quote "Give me this amount and I will retake Melitopol". But yes, in the grand scheme we'll need more, this is absolutely true. Not really sure why it's going so slow, it seems politically it has been decided to make russia suffer a decisive defeat. Putin is a wanted man, so negotiations are off the table. Is it possible there are actual logistical bottlenecks?

I agree with your point, but 30 tanks do make a difference. And they're not fresh conscripts, they're highly experienced professional troops that have seen combat beyong anything any American soldier had experienced in the last 60 years. They're being trained on new vehicles. But yes, we need more of them, this is true.
