500 of these for the ukraine would be great, on the other hand lets hope the war is over when this tank is ready for mass prod. btw: 50% MORE FIREPOWER then the new russian T14 (ok russia has only 20 of them bec. they are exp. and bec. of economic blockade)
So!... to now push "Putin" 'over-the-edge' with supplying 'Ukraine' with the latest modern Tanks and whatever else would just give him a conniption-fit!... he would go-crazy!. That's why it isn't being done,
I know 2 countries that wont get these tanks: ukraine and germany.
BTW: They shouldnt have called it panther, king panther or panther 2 would have been better.
<serious mode on>
Only putin (or his people) can end this war. The ukraine cant end this war, even if they free the whole ukraine. WW2 thaugt us, that the ukraine would have to invade russia and destroy their industry, to win the war. But we all know, that this wont happen. And the nato will never fight directly ag. russia, if they arent forced to.
No matter how many russians die, they have many people and if putin makes a
general mobilization, he can always attack again and again. I hope that the russian people are different to the russians of the 40ies and rebel, if too many die. Another problem: The better the ukraine fights, the more russians die, the higher the chance will become that putin uses tac. nukes.
Putin lost a lot because of this war, he wont retreat and say ok we lost, all was for nothing. Lets make peace. He will never give the conquered territorys back. With the possible exception of getting something more valuable through negotiations. Dont ask ME, what that should be. (maybe we should give him north korea instead

)
The only thing thats clear:
This war has to stop fast, because it can escalate to a nuclear war anytime. Remember operation able archer, it was just a training, no real war, and nearly led to ww3. (dont kill me if i dont remeber right, im getting old...)
Now we have masses of nato planes close to russia and no cold war, this time the war is hot. Its a big, big risk and the ukraine isnt worth it. Sorry ukraine, it was a big, big mistake to give up your nuclear weapons. Putin would have never attacked.
Update: please delete admin, what i wrote is wrong, america is the problem, not putin.
