The Thermals can't decide the war for allies.
The Leos 1/2 and Chally 2 are using an obsolete WBG-X thermal sight from first gen.
It puts these tanks behind the RU 1PN96MT-02 used in their T-62. Yes, about thermals, the Leo 1-2/ Chally 2 are ironically inferior to the T62.

The western tanks have better lenses, able to do a magnification of 4x - 12x, but the poor resolution of WBG-X just make the zoom/magnification unable to recognize anything far using Thermals.
The upgrades only came for 2a6PL and in general for the EU 2a7

The RU T90 and T72B3/M are using sosna-u, a 2nd gen thermal sight, with lenses similar to western sights, but much better thermal resolution.
RU can't manufacture the sosna-u massively yet. And about this, China can't help too much. What RU needs is more in NL and GER.

The old Polish and Ukraine warriors:
The Old, but upgraded polish Pt-91 (using KLW-1 Asteria) and the Ukrainian T-64bv (using TPN-1-TPV) are the only 3rd gen Thermals on battlefield.
These vehicles have less armor, but an advantage on Thermal sights, what help a lot.

The RuAF have around 200-250 T90* and 400-600 T-72B3/B3M, both using Sosna-U. All other tanks are using inferior devices.
Sending an inferior force not only in techs, but also in lower number, the western forces are dangerously underestimating the russians.

Note 1:
The western forces were negligent about build/move facilities for ukrainian companies manufacture anti air missiles, T64*, Pt-91 barrels.
Now after 2y, most of ukr-PL tanks have worn-out barrels and the country air defenses are going to run out missiles.
For me a fail.

Note 2:
Ukraine have companies able to manufacture barrels, S-300/Buk-M1-2 missiles. How nobody organized this production months ago? While the media was criticizing the RU logistics/structure, just forgot about the Nato fails.
Now these two factors can cause a collapse.
