For the same reason they have sent billions of dollars there…to show their support. This isn’t the first country that the US has provided equipment for with little or no training…or without critical equipment onboard (i.e. specialized RADAR or electronics systems)

Once again, it depends on how their are used, deployed, and how the crews are trained. The Ukraine may be using them in ways that they were not designed, or using tactics that put the tank in a bad position.
