>Lebanese Army is still using M48A5s in Anoni Domini 2024>not in reserve BTW, this is the Airborne RegimentI wonder if they appreciate the "sovl" underage posters on this board like to go on about.
>>61485871Turkey has over 750 in service. Hell even Taiwan and South Korea each have hundreds still. The M48 got around.
Its sorta like fighter jets or attack helicopters. Having one puts you waaaay above irregular fighters and to have one that can compete with real militaries requires big money, so why not just use ancient shit if your only real concerns are revolutions?Plus it just fits with the african poverty aesthetic
>>61485871>A5No soul, L7/M68 is gay globalist bullshit. The real SOVL is with the 90mm models, an encapsulation of postwar American exceptionalism
>>61486021>90mmFrance sure loved them, enough to put them on armored cars.
>>61485871>2100>shitload of fuck has happened, but the west remains>at least 3 land vehicle generations ahead, fully modular laser equipped tonks with automated drone spotters and shit able to datalink with any other vehicle in the inventory>3rd worlders still stuck with mid cold war crapgrim
>>61486021mate i swear down ur talking bad bollocks about the L7 best gun ever made simple as to be quite honest
I think it's fair to say the Lebanese army is perhaps the 2nd strongest army in Lebanon
It's even funnier when you realize Hezbollah has T-90's.
>>61485871I mean that's not odd in comparison to this.
Thailand reporting in!
>>61487251How?
>>61487322Back in Syria when the Russians started fieling T-90's, some of these units were passed to some of the pro-govt militias, Hezbollah was one of them since they were the most competent ones around.They also got a bunch of T-55's from Lebanon.
>>61486083Tank is tank.
>>61487344>There's a non 0% possibility that Hezbollah murk'd a T90 In a T55Praise be to Allah, the most high. In'shallah, Hezbollah removes the Great Satan from the holy city of Jerusalem, and restores the sanctity of Al' Quds.

>>61485871Nothing wrong with this. It’s a rolling gun
isn't americans used them during iraq invasion?i bet you will see a couple of them on your nov2024 civil war
>>61485871Are you under the impression that Lebanon is some large wealthy country?
>>61488076My name is tom Tuttle from tacoma oblast and I am demoralized
>>61488076not a single M48 or M60 was used in 2003only a few dozen M60s were present with the Marines in 1991kys ahmed
>>61488208Yeah I think he's getting mixed up with several things, like the expected mixture of tanks in a cold war gone hot circa like 1982 (M60s trending towards M1s as production ramps up and units complete training) and the use of a few M60s and more importantly M60-chassis-based-vehicles (IIRC like bridge layers and shit) in 1991. By 2003 M60s were completely out of active service. From memory they actually began to remove the M60 from service right after Desert Storm.
>>61488168Based reference.
>>61485871The M48 and T-54 are the ultimate tanks. If you asked a child to draw a tank it would like one of those two.Just like an AK-47 will be relevant 100 years from now, the M48 and T-54 fulfill the basics of a tank; big gun and thick armor.
>>61489569good solid tank(s)
For me it's heavily upgraded early-mid cold war equipment.>Danish Walker Bulldog
>>61489660what happens if somebody press the wrong button in this situation?
>>61489709death
>>61489709Do the words 'act of war' mean anything to you, huh?
>>61489709At absolute best, a costly, very public tank duel in the middle of berlin. If they're lucky, the commander of the tank in question survives to explain it was a mistake, and the incident becomes a very large embarassment.
>>61485985seemingly everyone has RPGs that can turn it into scrap easily unlike modern tanks thoughbeit
>>61489790yeah but the only tanks that are rpg proof are expensive. pretty much any WWII tank is gonna be impervious to small arms fire and thats enough
>>61490478Even the stock M60A3 is a major leap in RPG survivability
>>61485871If we could modernize the Patton and sell it we'd still get orders for it.
>>61485871When you strip away the concept that tanks are made primarily for tank-on-tank dogfights, and acknowledge that their real modern enemy is the ATGM and the Drone, they return to their original role - mobile fire support to infantry to clear fortifications and strongpoints.As the Lebanese Army is never going to go T-on-T with the IDFs Merkavas, and that will be done by Hezbollah with their Iranian ATGMs, their M48 and T55s are more than sufficient for the infantry support role.
>>61492321M60 just not giving a fuck and casually turning and driving away while the dunecoones just stand there confused is fucking killing me for some reasonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szykmx2kTFI
>>61485871>*Anno Domini>*Airmobile Regiment not AirborneAnd they dont have M48s that's the 1st and 2nd Tank Regiments.Airmobile does have M113s with a few mounting ZSU-23-2s, and were going to get Bradleys.
