Hopefully these will all arrive in time for spring. Ukrainians have been projecting they will need 2 full armored divisions ready for a big counter offensive by then.

I saw a M2 demonstration in SC a few years back, crazy fast over rough terrain and it was picking off dummy tanks with ease.
Putin isn't going to like this.
