Bradley may be replaced, and probably even quickly, but the Leopards .. they will also be replaced, but instead of 2A6 it will be the ancient 1A5, after they are restored to a sane state. So, Ukraine should not rely too much on Western tanks, especially since Kiev has already become disillusioned with them, they say the old Soviet ones are better, easier to operate and live longer on the battlefield.
Riiiiiight. So how come Putin's glorious armed forces using the best-in-the-world soviet military equipment couldn't defeat Ukrainian forces that had very little Western equipment at the beginning, and still can't defeat Ukrainians with more Western equipment (albeit inferior if we were to believe your story). Something not adding up.
In the beginning, it wasn't Russia's goal to defeat. They were simply attempting to bring freedom to Russians and Ukrainians in the Donbas area and other areas. Russia wasn't against the Ukrainian people freely making up their own mind. What they were against was the Ukrainian government using military means to destroy the freedom of the people, many of whom were Russians.
Now that the US has made a big deal about conquering Russia through Ukraine, things have changed. But one of the major things that has not changed is that Russia still doesn't want to do more than bring peace by taking out the evil Ukrainian government and military.
The point is, if both militaries killed each other off 1 person to 1 person, the Ukraine military would be long gone, and the land would be free to Russian takeover. As it is, in general, it's 6 or 7 Ukrainian soldiers (or whomever else they are getting from Nato) that are dying for every 1 Russian soldier.
