I bet (and keep hearing rumors) of more advanced material going in there without the headlines. The Switchblade numbers were all over the map, so who knows what was sent?

Also a report that between repairs, captured and newly arrived imports, coupled with the RU losses, the UKR army now has the same or more tranks in theater. And anyone thnking Russia has huge numbers of reserves - they don't. Best estimates that they have had 3000 usable tanks at the start of the war, and they have keep a lot of territory defended, esp Kalinigrad.

So, yes, got to agree, we are at a turning point.
