>>62076052A t62 sporting a turbo cope cage with an Utyos on top of it?
>>62076096Look at the wheels. The fume extractor is removable
>>62076093>no knotIts t 54 with some kontakt-1 slapped on, and you are an idio AHAHAHAHAHA
>>62076113You're right I was too hasty. I dismissed the ERA arrangement as being some expedient restoration attempt but the gun + the dome make this a T-54 and not even a modernized variant but some shitbox they slapped a bunch of kontakt on. The kontakt isn't even slapped on right, the angle is insufficient to be effective.
>>62076106they have the same wheel arrangement, dingus.look at the end of the barrel. there is a counterweight. that is a T-54-3. not a T-55.if you look close you can see the little mushroom dome fan vent on the turret. Again, T-54. NOT a T-55.
>>62076142Damn, I love how you autists can tell a relic soviet shitbox at a glance. They all look the same to me.
>>62076166it's not hard. it's basically just memorizing a simple flow chart based on easily recognizable features. if you know how to spot 3-4 things you can tell them all from each other.

>>62076052>vatniks decided to turn cope cage into cope machine gun bunker nest on wheelsConcept seems interesting, if only Russia was advanced enough to make/programme turrets on T-90 to target drones.
That cage has an entire troop compartment and gunner station built into it. Not just a shed but a slap chop APC mounted on top of the turret.
>>62076311holy shit you may be right. Is the APC/AFV situation in Russia really that bad?>if you only knew how bad things really are

>>62076644>Is the fucking barrel not heavy enough?yes, sometimes it is not heavy enough to keep the gun level
>>62076052I thought T55/54 were only used as rear line arty, wtf russians lied to me :(
>>62076371300 probably means it is their medevac vehicle
>>62076644early T-54s just had an in-production gun shoved in there and the weight balance was off in the mount. they didn't get it fixed until somewhere in the T-54A production run after 1955 when it got the the bore evacuator and single-plane stabilizer.
>>62076703This t54 isn't rear line, or arty. Someone made a mistake.
>>62076166>Damn, I love how you autists can tell a relic soviet shitbox at a glance. They all look the same to me.ANON!You can't just say they all look the same! That's racist.

>>62076766Somewhere out there is a T-44, waiting to be taken out from "storage"
>>62076825A T-54-I is far greater a unicorn than the 44.We'll know Putin is about to be hanged when we see these vehicles in Ukraine 3 weeks prior.
>>62076815It only says that it could be either a modernized T-55A (gun/turret) or new hull and turret.
>>62076766The T-10 apperance was a nothingburger so I'm eagerly awaiting it's real apperance
>>62076859>T-10 apperance?
>>62076866There was news about it being sighted a while back, but I don't think anything came of it
>>62076644Consider how much leverage that small weight has over the barrel then consider why damping muzzle whip is desirable.

>>62076371>no turret>Puccia was close to doing something somewhat smart but fucked it all up by keeping it open top.Are they fucking retarded? Why won't they make their own Achzarit equivalent?
>>62076371>remove turret because it's borked>stick cheap sheet metal on the side>cover turret hole with sandbags atop sheet metalI mean, the thought process is there, but god damn that's abysmal.
>>62077082>T-54-2 There's one confirmed in video...
Lend-Lease Shermans when?
>>62077109Is it? Looks like a T-54-3.
>>62077132I mean a 2023 video with FPV destroying a T-54-2 with copecage, the back of the turret was "lentil" shaped.
>>62076815the wording was to distinguish a T-54B built from scratch as such in 1950-whatever from an earlier A that was upgraded to B standard.
>>62076166I collect vises. I have seen 10 of 1000 of thumbnails and sales photos on the classifieds. I trained part of my brain like you'd train an AI. I can scroll through the thumbnail list by now and I know exactly which vise I am seeing, no matter if cut of, weird angle, etc.Anon, you can become a tank expert, too. It just takes some daily mental work.
>>62077069Thanks

wait, so they're taking the massive allotment of old af tanks and nigger rigging sheetmetal sheds on top of them to act as "armored" personnel carriers? did i get right?unironically most of the macguyvered stuff i've seen out of syria has more quality and effort than whatever this is.
>>62076866there's a video of a T-10 floating around where it was dumped into some sort of concrete parking lot. It's tracks produced a cloud of rust as it was dumped off of the trailer
>>62076052ZFG-9000
This has been on my mind for a few days now, with more and more T-54s showing up on the battlefield, would the M48 Patton with the original 90mm gun be a match for them?
>>62077173You're supposed to develop a set of vices as you age anon, not vises.
>>62077723That shit is from Russia years ago. It's twitter retards being retards.
>>62076052Good lord. These abominations are sure interesting though, an entire BOX on top to put an MG position...even though the tank likely already had the ring mount around the hatch already.
>>62077670>wait, so they're taking the massive allotment of old af tanks and nigger rigging sheetmetal sheds on top of them to act as "armored" personnel carriers? did i get right?Yes.As it turns out, soviet IFV stockpiles are very finite!>unironically most of the macguyvered stuff i've seen out of syria has more quality and effort than whatever this is.Arabs are a step function above bleached niggers from the north.
>>62077740No, the 90mm had no APDS shell formally accepted in service much less a APFSDS shell in service. The low caliber HEAT shells would be more than adequately countered by Kontakt while a T-54 would (presuming they are given the right ammo) be able to penetrate a M48. The M48 has a visibility advantage though this is somewhat mitigated by drones.
>>62077740>Tank desantDo soldiers still do this in the US military?
>>62076481heh
>>62076371Shit like this makes me think Ukraine really does have a chance of military victory.
>>62078751Kinda. If they can solve the glide bomb problem they'll be golden. Demining is going to be it's own separate piece of ass however, but at least by the time you're worrying about demining you've solved every other more pressing problem.
>>62078801I don't think the guild bombs will be a problem once the F-16s are operational, Russia has been unwilling to risk aircraft the whole war and they will be pushed back by CAP.
>>62078834That's the big if. No one here actually has any idea how effective the Russian AA network still is. Flying slow, low flying cessna-sized drones into refineries is one thing, doing SEAD and then striking an airfield is another.
>>62076052Looks like a weird AI hallucination. Post the original video.
>>62076825I can't wait to see it. Maybe they'll find some oolder equipment, too.Just look at the writing on that barrel.
>>62078859I'm not talking about hitting Russia I mean running combat air patrol over Ukraine so any Russian jet that gets close enough for glide bombs is in danger.
>>62078298>APDS shell formally accepted in service much less a APFSDSBoth ukies and ziggers use tanks mainly as HE lobbers. Darts are mostly unused. Ironically but unironically they really love Bong HESH rounds since they shoot at everything that is not a tank - drones are better for those.
>>62078898They don't need to enter Ukraine to fling glide bombs at Kharkiv. That's the entire problem. This is why Ukraine has been getting permission to use NATO weapons to target Russians in Russia. You cannot simply do CAP to end the the glide bomb threat, nor are they ever going to run out of glide bombs. You need to hit the airbases, or Bibi needs to send Iron Dome.
>>62078913Hey John Boyd, BVR A2A missiles are a thing. You don't have to get in there and dogfight like the Red Baron anymore.The whole idea is to push them back out of standoff range for the glide bombs.
>>62078913The JSOW has a range of ~100km when launched high and fast, based on how aerodynamic it is vs the FAB-3000 glide bombs we have been seeing I would be amazed if they did 70km.
>>62078891this timeline man
>>62076052Based on the the roadwheel and the gun - early model T-54
>>62078938That's why we expect lots a booms in either belgarod region or have a romeing patriot agian in the future and start seeing a lot of su-34 crashing
>>62078906Why does she turn into a Mii
>>62076076more like Bakazoku
>>62076371Is this high or low on the smekalka meter? I can't tell if there's a lot of effort or if it's none.
>>62079586Very high. What differentiates Smekalka from regular jury rigging or MacGyvering is the undercurrent "we have to improvise because our boss fucking stole the money for proper maintenance"
>>62078913>They don't need to enter Ukraine to fling glide bombs at KharkivNeither do Amraam equiped planes need to enter Russia, to be able to paint zigger planes with their radar and force the zigger to duck and run.
>>62079636This is not what smekalka really is. The essence of smekalka is that it is mildly offensive to the outside observer (especially when he is a rule-based level headed reasonable Gayrapean), and it is not limited to engineering. For example, you might borrow a tool from a friend and then just casually throw it away to trash when you no longer need it because it would take your time to return it back. This is also can be considered a smekalka.
>>62079672>For example, you might borrow a tool from a friend and then just casually throw it away to trash when you no longer need it because it would take your time to return it back. This is also can be considered a smekalka.The absolute state of Russian society.
>>62079716It is the shortest path from the current state of the world to the intended one. Just not giving it back would be easier, but it would be even theft and thus not the intended state of "not having the tool after an agreed period of time".
I was reading about the Ferdinand yesterday and apparently the Krauts tried something similar. Totally ineffective since the troopers would get chewed by arty real quick.
>>62077104>Why did they do this instead of making their own Achzarit equivalent?
For everything I learn about Russia I get more and more thankful I wasn't born there.
>>62078801>If they can solve the glide bomb problem they'll be golden.Bilhorod patriots are sacrificing themselves to intercept those, buying time for F-16s to arrive and attempt to shut the bombing runs down
>>62078859>No one here actually has any idea how effective the Russian AA network still isNot sure Moscow really knows either
>>62079672Russian smekalka is best described by now dead Zadornov>stupid fat lazy Amerikan soldiers wipes his butt with toilet paper brought all the way from Amerikkka to Afghanistan, wasting money>smart, resourceful Soviet soldier has no toilet paper so he uses leaves of nearest tree to wipe his butt
>>62079918>shovel panxakesThat's fine. Everywhere has food festivals, often with semi-improvised or crude utensils and facilities to produce and serve large volumes of food.It's clearly not gone directly from snow to blini. I don't care for pancakes (empty carbs) but I wouldn't be squicked by eating those.There's much more credible criticisms of Russian society.

>>62080137nah, it is too materialistic point of view
>>62076420It transitioned, chud
>>62078751US establishment doesn't want ukies to win, because of retarded inner beliefs, such as: - being scared that russia would collapse and now 10 shitty countries in their place would have nukes;- thinking that after putin they can get russia to be an ally, even if a passive one, against china; This is why all of the aid is drip-fed, this is why US not only imposes limits on how US weapons are used (no deep strikes into obvious frontline targets), but also stops others with that (pressuring UK to not allow deep strikes with UK missiles, stopping Swedes from giving Gripens, stopping Polacks from giving Migs, etc), even ukies themselves (hurr-durr no strike on refinery, hurr-durr no political killings of russians).
>>62079725If I lend someone a tool a d they break or lose it, my expectation is they buy me a new one. But I don't lend tools, for exactly this reason.

>>62083142So it's bullshit. Thanks for clearing that up anon.
>>62083215>>62083327Just recently US pressured UK to rollback the green light for ukies to strike deep into russia using UK missiles. I'm not sure how you can deny obvious things.
>>62083554You can, of course, provide a source for that, right anon?

>>62083661Israelis have something similar but cleaner so this may be worth.
>>62083578nta but they rolled it back the same day, it had nothing to do with the USA, it was the PM saying dumb shit. The British MoD said 'no we haven't changed, stop listening to the retard'.
>>62076482You're looking a bit sus.The real reason for the turretless turtles is that the guns don't work so they get removed and used for parts, and the tank hulls are used in a mine clearing role at the front of a short column. Many are fitted with mine rollers ahead of the tracks, but sometimes they're just expected to used the tracks to detonate mines.
>>62083731The Achzarit has real armor, not stolen scrap metal.
>>62083755>it had nothing to do with the USABitch please. It's an open secret that US doesn't really want russia to lose. Hence drip fed support, hence limitations, hence BS bottlenecks, hence forcing limitations on support from allies, not wanting Ukraine in NATO (literally was publicly told by Macron), or even vetoing Ben Wallace from the leading NATO because he was supporting Ukraine too much without independently.
>>62083578Do you believe in coincidences? How polish Migs stopped being supplied in 2022. How suddenly the UK green light with missiles got rolled back. How Sweden's Gripens got stopped right in tracks because "hurr-durr first need to handle F-16s" (not an ukie position).

>>62084682Glide bombs have given Russia a standoff weapon with ~3x the range of arty, it could become a real threat to ammo dumps and supply lines but thankfully Russia can't into intel to find them.
>>62085301Oh i think we are OK with Russia becoming a collapsed state, the PRC is the real enemy and we already have a new ally lined up for that. Nixion went to China, Trump is going to Pyonyang.
