Nobody who's the least bit well informed should want to be in a tank in any sort of war where the people you're fighting have rich western backers.

Look at Syria. It was ATGM city. And that's a "budget" conflict compared to the kind of stops that are being pulled out to get that kind of hardware into Ukrainian hands.

I completely agree, but solders have to follow orders whether they like it or not. Russian commanders may have a problem reassuring them that they are not going to the slaughter, so efforts like this may give some level of encouragement. Who knows for sure, but I'm pretty confident it's not to make covering with a tarp easier.
