It might, but honestly if you look at the history of warfare, it’s pretty common.

Even in World War II, you saw the Axis forces using the weapons of the conquered nations to augment what they could produced, as well as some of the Allied nations as well.

Going further back, WWI had all sides doing that. The same with the American Civil War, where both sides were using anything they could get their hands on.

It does cause challenges… but on the other hand, something is better than nothing.

That all being said, this whole thing about sending them Abrams is dumb. They didn’t even want them. They wanted Leopards, but the Germans refused to send some and allow other nations (like Poland) to send theirs unless the U.S. sent Abrams.

So we send a token force that end up sitting somewhere or maybe make up a specialized unit, and the Ukrainians get what they actually wanted.
