More issues with Western weapons. GPS guidance is not a magic bullet.

The main battle tank needs to operate on a battlefield that has all the assets it requires to keep it safe.
AWACS, Fighter Support, Counter measures, infantry, interdiction, drone tech. The MBT today is no better or worse off than in WW2. In WW2 without support they would be picked off just as they are today.
Ukraine doesn't have the assets available.
