Do you read non Russian twitter? Holding the ground occurred probably 8 months ago. The tanks, cluster, storm shadows are teh only things part of the re-take effort.
None of this was needed to hold ground.
ANd Ukraine retake is only part of the equation. NATO is other goal (right or wrong) is to humiliate Russia: drone attacks on Moscow, get criminals to fight, then fire generals, and deal with a mutiny. That its doing without putting a single boot on the ground. You make it sound as if 57 countries have committed 90% of men and equipment to this war.
LIfe in the 57 countries is just moving as if its 2019.

Russia Hopes to Beat Ukraine By Resurrecting a Zombie Army From Its Tank Boneyards
During WWII, the USSR ground down Germany by repeatedly rebuilding its tank fleet. It will be harder to repeat the trick this time around.www.popularmechanics.com
They are using them as artillery pieces.
T-54/55 have 100mm rifled guns, they have lots of HE ammo for them.
So they removed the commander (4 man crew), down to driver+gunner+loader, and using them as mobile pieces of artillery.
All soviet tanks tended to have their secondary function for indirect fire.

Rainy season is coming. Less than 2 months the rains will fall. The ground will be muddy and soft. Heavy tanks cannot move. Russia is buying time. Time is enemy of Ukrainian offensive.
I know about the first use in the Kharkiv area against stationary positions. But this same Col. Kulagin is quoted for the loss of two 152 mm, two 122 mm and two BTRs due to those strikes.your problem is that you think shahed can't be reprogrammed after launch , while in fact it can be directly controlled or programmed via a mohajer-6
by the way you even didn't bother look up first use of shahed drones

more and and more Kornet kills are appearing seems like Russia has ATGM production ramped out while West has ran out of Javelins
also a few days ago Kornet took out a Bradley IFV and they also used it take out a fixed comms tower so no shortage of missiles
image what would happen to the British Challenger and American M1 tanks if they were sent in place of the Leopard 2A6s
Leo is a better than both and is still getting hammered

Lancet is Russian counterpart of Javelin. Kornet is Russian counterpart of TOW. Kornet is like HQ-9. TOW is like HJ-8.
I hear Challenger is too heavy for Ukrainian ground. Abrams might be too heavy too. Ukraine want Leopard 1 which is 46 tons which is suitable for Ukrainian ground.

Ukraine has become a failed state. Like Somalia. Here in Canada there are many Ukrainian refugees who fled Ukraine. A coworker of mine is from Odessa.

Ukrainians are very nice people they dint deserve this but their leader has no value for their lives and has basically thrown the nation under the Russian Steam Roller

How did you determine that Leopard 2A6 is better than both?
