Hand these people a piece of equipment that requires a logistical tail of 10:1 (10 support personnel for every combat crewman), and trained experienced maintainers just to keep it combat ready and in the line.
It will burn through fuel at a rate of at least two gallons per mile (4.7 liters per kilometer), whether the tank is moving or idling, which means a constant supply convoy of fuel trucks must stay within reach so it can keep moving forward.
A tank that will need approximately 300 gallons every eight hours; this will vary depending on mission, terrain, and weather.
A single M1 tank takes 10 minutes to refuel. Refueling and rearming of a tank platoon--four tanks--is approximately 30 minutes, under ideal conditions.
0.6 miles per gallon.
60 gallons per hour when traveling cross-country
30+ gallons per hour while operating at a tactical idle
10 gallons basic idle.

This is a massive escalation .. the Ukraine / Russia situ has been choregraphed by Zionist Jews on both sides working in unison, the "War" is a distraction whence civilian infrastructure has been targeted on both sides, and mercenary militias have gone door to door slaughtering indigenous white Russians and Ukrainians, whose inheritance is turned over to Jews on behalf of the twin concepts of white genocide & Greater Yisrael .. they want to cause global war like they did in 1914 and 1939.
Jews incensed by the license granted in the Talmud perpetrated the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks upon the United States, full prosecution will take the wind out of their sails .. see the current conflict as a struggle between US and Talmudic Law, thus true patriots will continue to demand millions of Jews be brought to arrest, trial and execution as 911 traitors under US Law, while they will carry on doing whatever they will under the aegis of the Talmud .. we are gonna see who wins out.
