Because having a tank is still better than not having a tank.

To people that don’t know what they’re talking about, or are still refusing to acknowledge that Ukraine has more tanks than it started with and Russia has many, many, many, fewer, sure.

The discrepancy is so large that Ukraine has more tanks than Russia now. That they’re effectively obsolete for their price is irrelevant, it’s still better and requires more firepower to deal with than a couple dudes with rifles.

What does that have to do with the tanks they have being blown up so easily?
