So a Battalion and a half. By Ukrainian metrics at least is being sent to Ukraine.
Both types are relatively modern. Fairly Maintenance intensive filled with a shitload of Electronics. Compared to Russian Tanks. And Russian derivatives in Ukraines arsenal.
Which up until relatively recently were fairly simplistic so they could be run by Conscripts who may have only had limited electronics experience.
I’d hazard a guess their Armored Units have seen heavy losses. Which means the odds of well trained experienced crews to put in those advanced tanks is unlikely. Which means the likely crew will be conscripts.
About the only gain I could foresee is crew survivability may go up if the tank is knocked out.
