Reply to comment by drygnfyre in TIL Snow is an excellent insulator because it consists of about 90–95 percent trapped air (fresh). This is the reason why igloos are warmer inside than outside, and why some animals in colder regions build snow caves to spend the winter while hibernating. by SunCloud-777
You can build a fire inside them.

The current Abrams tank used by the US uses an extremely fuel demanding gas turbine engine which puts a big liability in the logistics chain.
It also requires a lot of training and different ammo/parts than what the Ukrainians produce/have.
The Ukrainians are better off without Abrams tanks.
