Don't disagree with the General in terms of "get them some good stuff to fight with" but I do disagree that the Abrams tank is for this situation the correct answer.
You need to be well trained to make that system work; the Ukranians know how their systems work on theirs and the Russian tanks.
The other weapons he referred to (like switch blade, etc) and various other munitions: yeah, deploy them, but make sure the "train the Trainer to train the man" on the new kit is thought through and implemented.
