Yes, but the countries that owned this Russian Equipment were not able to employ, the way that Soviet Doctrine intended to use it. They were badly led, poor troops, poor maintenance, and above all poor morale. The Soviets military theory is one of the best in the world, in actually there are many instances were the US army has used it, and actually trains in it. The soviets produced more tanks to deal with the fact that the Americans had better technology. But Soviet armor divisions have been some of the best the world has seen. Ably lead and motivated, they would had prove more than a match to the Abrahams. If the war became an attrition war the Soviets would win, but overall i still think the Soviets had the advantage. They had the political will and ability to take massive casualties.
