They are not invincible, especially for the case of the Abrams and Leopard, that is taken out by "significantly inferior adversaries"...
While it is good news for Ukraine to get these tanks, I (DPA) does not expect the tanks to be significantly different in term of battlefield impact from the over 1000 tanks Ukraine had already fielded since the start of the war.
