This group is for everyone who like tanks, sci-fi tanks, real tanks, funny tanks, you can put here tank mods, tank maps, simply everything with straps, armor and gun :D
hehe so what?? I didnt say Russian Armanent is superrior in all ways. I only sayd that its not what 'muricas games and tv says thats all folks. Nothing is indestructible, nothing last forever. But in the RUskies Armanents superiority to 'Muricas Armanent is that is FAR CHEAPER AND FAAAR MORE realiable then then its USA counteraparts
And the biggest joke is when m1 abrams what cost X milions get destroyed by rocket for 700 bucks (RPG-29)
Agreed, the portrayal in Call of Duty and other crap games is retarded: "teh abrams iz da best... kill 20 t90 no dmg"
However, the tank platform in general is simply quite outdated and very vulnuerable on today's battlefields', especially in unrban areas since everyone has an rpg nowadays, no matter if Russian or American. Lostarmour shows that if you use tanks without good tactics like the Ukrainians did in the beginning of the war you get even bigger losses then the US had in Iraq (those were comparitevely low for such a long war).
And yea, still, Russian weapons are not that great either, they might be reliable, but only because every technical solution used is the most surefire one, which in turn hinders technological and logistical capabilities lot. (come at me with the shitstorm)
Active protection is next logical evolutionary step for tanks, Israel already showed that it is able to stop even expensive AT weapons like the Kornet and finally might give amoured vehicles an edge in (urban and close quarters) combat again.
Lets us both agree for a German Armanent. But for the Israelis who are fighting Insurgents/Freedom Fighters/Spaghetty Monster know what else, are only fighting inregular war. Dunno how their Tank Protection goes in true war. Lets bouth agree that its succes doenst count until it see its first Tank battle/ATGM
Yea, and the rebels never captured any of those. But there's a suspicious movement of old T72s and T64s (often with personel) from Russia. Pretty clear what's happening here.
All the snackbars?

Eastern Ukraine contains some of the largest arms/vehicle depots in all of Ukraine. Easy to refurbish and get going as well.
Yea, and the rebels never captured any of those. But there's a suspicious movement of old T72s and T64s (often with personel) from Russia. Pretty clear what's happening here.
Still no proof of this presented by the other side.
Anyway, wasn't wanting to get into this again.
Merry Christmas and all that.
lel, the link I posted is part of a lenghty article with lots of geolocated pictures exactly on that.
Merry Christmas, hope it isn't too warm in New Zealand :P
Perfect swimming climate actually. Quite enjoyable. Hope it's not too cold in Germany.
We had sun and no snow, so yeah, it's alright as well, thanks ^^

Thousands of russian tanks are being destroyed every year and it's alright.
One Abrams gets destroyed - everybody's losing their ****.
Not Russian, actually. More like Soviet, and that number of "thousands" is a total joke.
