- The US has pledged to send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine in the coming months.
- Abramses are better than Russian tanks, and Russia isn't making enough anti-tank weapons to beat them, a top Russian defense expert says.
- But 31 Abramses likely aren't enough to affect the situation on the battlefield, the expert says.
Russia's tanks are inferior to the M1 Abrams that the US is sending to Ukraine, according to a top Russian defense expert.
In addition, Russia is short of modern anti-tank missiles and armor-piercing shells for tank cannons that are needed to defeat the Abrams and other Western tanks.
