How would early cold-war heavy tanks fare in modern warfare?
the same as everything elseshittanks are finished and a waste of money

>>62917223you laugh western pig! but they will bring victory like hero of motherland movie! the sacrifice is only part of heroic plot! but when old tank in Kiew and berlin you will know that the goose hears who quaks
>>62917277>Russians are fielding the White TigerIt's owari da for the zelensky student council
A tank is a tank.
>>62917277There is now a chance we might see BA series armoured and scout cars getting blown the fuck upOh well, got a laugh I guess
>>62917223>old, probably neglected engine. >no radar>no electric countermeasures>rudimentary night vision if lucky >basic fire controlit's still a big armored gun with wheels. but the battlefield awareness systems will be obsolete if they exist at all. the gun will be short-range and relatively inaccurate. and so far, Russia has been unable to field any meaningful response to even basic antitank weapons on any of their equipment.
>>62917333>what is maskirovka
>>62917244>source: Serb who can't stop sucking russian dicksNegro, you can't be serious.
>>62917336Being deliberately retarded doesn't make you less retarded.
>>62917244Doesn’t even look close.The turret is completely different.
>>62917339time will tellAt the moment you think you are identifying some weak spots in the russian war machine. You are where they want you to be.
>>62917223Shit.>>62917227Retard.>>62917244No it isn't.
>>62917308Tanks get dated as new ones are developed, there's extremely good reasons as to why Sherman and Patton tanks are now museum pieces for the Americans, they would be hopelessly disadvantaged in modern warfare.
>>62917337You can just say "Serb"
Russia is winning but tanks have nothing at all to do with it. In the first 2 years and change Russia’s artillery superiority was winning them the war in a slow grinding advance. In much of 2024 the dynamic has changed to glide-bombs winning in a quicker slow grinding advance. Tanks are brought forward to briefly take pot-shots or moved forward uselessly to be disabled and destroyed.It’s true that the Ukraine war is NOT a representation of modern warfare. But it’s also true that tanks are obsolete in modern war; these two statements are not contradictory. Tanks are even more useless in modern war than they are in the Ukraine war. This was known since the 80s but wasn’t proven until the Gulf War in which the war was won by the USAF and tanks were irrelevant. Ironically the massive degree of overmatch by the US coalition allowed tanks to survive culturally within a cope bubble (ie tanks aren’t useless just the Iraqis were, muh monkey models muh etc). But an equally-matched war in terms of technology and training in Ukraine has stripped away almost all of the copes — the only cope left is muh APS. Unfortunately APS don’t work and EVEN IF THEY DID tanks would still n be useless in face of ATGMs because there’s a LOT more 50-lbs missiles than there are 50+ ton combat vehicles and just because it takes several missiles to defeat a mythical working APS doesn’t the fact that tanks are still obsolete. The battlefield role of heavy support firepower is taken over by indirect fires and air support. Much like modern warships maintain safety via stand-off distance, modern fire support maintains safety by staying out of the line of contact. Armed vehicles in a modern military are just battlefield taxis with fire support only being a minor role; assault is now the job of indirect fires and air support.
>>62917355>why Sherman and Patton tanks are now museum pieces for the AmericansShermans remained in service until 2018, compared to the T-10 that was retired in 1996. Pattons are still used, even in NATO countries.
>>62917540Retard.The US retired the M48 in 1973 and the M4 in 1957
>>62917557Paraguayans are Americans too.
>>62917540>>62917565You mean the absolute fucking handmedowns to not particularly militarily important miscellaneous countries? Anon, the subject is MODERN WARFARE.
>>62917592Türkiye has huge military importance.Even Israel used Patton derivatives until recently.
>>62917460Not really. Once the MIC improves 360 APS protection tanks will BTFO of everything again. And the cycle will continue. Have you seen the amount of resources vatniks spend just to destroy or damage 1 out of 200 1980s tanks made in the west? Ukraine got fucking 31 Abram tanks. Imagine if they had fucking 3000?
>>62917540And Mexico still uses WWII-surplus M8 Greyhound armored cars.That doesn't mean they're even remotely viable vehicles in a modern peer to peer conflict.
>>62917460>quicker slow

>>62917223How many of them russia has?
>>62917277What the hell is that thing in the middle?
>>62917349This post smells like curry.
>>62917460>the Gulf War in which the war was won by the USAF and tanks were irrelevantThe battles of Norfolk, 73 Easting, and Medina Ridge were things.
>>62917350It is though. Red effect is right
>>62917223Tank is tank.
>>62917223>it's a T-10>trust me it's a T-10>it must've been a T-10 guys>r/noncredibledefense told me it was a T-10>this blurry video confirms our confirmation biased theory>despite the fact that literally no other T-10s were sighted before or after this one, nor were there ever any T-10 tanks reported to be captured or destroyed by the Ukrainians (that take pictures of every enemy vehicle they come across), does not prove that this video contains anything but a T-10

>>62919883>it can't be a T-55 guys, they weren't used at the beginning of the conflict so they will never be used
