I like it.
>>62516703Leopard 1A5 obr. 2024
>>62516703It looks... interesting.
>>62516709>obr.zr.
>>62516763It's plastered with Nizh, Kontak-1 and has a folding antidrone net, of course it looks funky
>>62516790Not only funky but L2-ish, I'm sure that they're doing it on purpose.
>>62516790>folding antidrone netHoly shit didn't even notice that.Abominable nato tech. The real stuff is lost technology blyat from the dark age of USSR.
>>62516709>obrOkay so I'm retarded. I keep on seeing shit be listed like this. What does "obr" mean? I have no clue and its been going on for so long I've been afraid to ask without being yelled at.
>>62516931It’s an abbreviation for “model” used by the Russian armed forces.
>>62516931obr = obrazets (in ru)Pattern, model, version, etc.
>>62516931Obrazets, meaning model as above post saysUsually refers to modification to existing tanksWhereas A, B, U are for major manufacturing revisionsK is for command variants, V is for ERA-capable
>>62516931It is short for "obrozets" meaning "sample/model/version."When the soviets (and now Russia) put a new lick of paint on something old, nominally updating it but oftentimes barely doing anything, they called it XYZ obr. [year of update]>Leopard 1A5 obr. 2024>Leopard 1A5 ver. 2024or>Leopard 1A5 M2024naming a german Leo that you use "obr. 2024" is picking fun at soviet history and is a little self-deprecating in this case.
>>62516703>I like it.it looks mean.Its also missing some mirrors and isn't street-worthy because of that.
>>62516830Soulles
Dont tanks use sabots for shooting other tanks anyways? Seems the ERA doesnt do much for those.
>>62517214The biggest threat a tank will face is AT, artillery and drones. I'm not even sure a tank will have a 1% chance to end in combat with another tank in it's lifecycle
>>62517214Darts are for going through tanks. APFSDS shells, and ERA still impacts how deep they can go.
>>62517214>Seems the ERA doesnt do much for those.Nizh and other modern ERA often come with features designed to break up APFSDS penetrators. Doesn't nullify them but can reduce their penetration.Of course, the leo1 has no armor underneath so it doesn't really matter, any kinetic round will pen.
>>62517241>The biggest threat a tank will face is AT, artillery and dronesReal> I'm not even sure a tank will have a 1% chance to end in combat with another tank in it's lifecycleThats because most countries who make tanks haven't had near peer wars in a long time. It needs to be able to in the event they have a near peer conflict
>>62517241>The biggest threat a tank will face is AT, artillery and drones
>>62517214Nizh works against hollow charges and darts (in angled correctly)
>>62517287>russians larping as the imperium with purity seals>Ukrainians painting them as orkswhat a war
>>62517287>leaves thermal signature behind after each shotcool
>>62517049looks even fatter, love it
>>62516703>nigger rigged leopardabsolutely disgusting
>>62517049>it looks meanno it just looks retarded
>>62517256Imagine getting rear ended and having a 3BM26 dart fly through the other guy's windshield at you
>>62517388>doesn't recognize kino when he sees it
>>62517214most russian tanks still use HEAT it seems, they were supposed to have some giga-super-missile-sabot shit but that clearly hasn't been the case.
>>62516703Obsolete due to drones.
>>62517403>Imagine getting rear ended and having a 3BM26 dart fly through the other guy's windshield at youImagine being the insurance adjuster on that.
Same guy?
>>62517827I'm not worried about Russia's tanks as an American. China is enemy numba 1 and other western euro nations provide real ground threats>>62517842>having laser range finder detectors and ERA lowers you insureanceIm about it
>>62517827>most russian tanks still use HEAT it seemsMost Russian tanks went into this war with old-ass mango rounds, plus a handful of the giga-super-missile (Svinets) rounds spread between each company of tanks....on paper. Ukies said they found only soviet rounds in captured tanks, but the ones with the good stuff might have participated in the turret toss Olympics. Both sides mostly use HE shells now
>>62517886Aren't Svinets only compatible with T-90s (plus restrictions on the carousel capacity)?
>>62517853Well no, thats a Leopard 2
>>62517913>plus restrictions on the carousel capacityOh yea there is that. Plus irrc you could only place it in certain spots in the carousel.
>>62517921
>>62517656>kinotheres the certified retard word
>>62517931That's a T-62, the turret is too round to be a T-55 and you can see the shell casing extractor hatch.
>>62518384>T-5x or T-6xAnon, are you literate? The writing clearly says that's a Leopard 2. The hatch is a field modification so the crew of Boris Johnsons can be fed safely while they're in a battle-frenzied state.
>>62518384Dumbass, read the sign
Is this article nonsense/k/? Because the phrasing made it seem a bit dodgy.https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/ukraine-making-m1-abrams-tank-even-better-212750
>>62516703You know I fucking love Ukrainian adaptations so much. I wish I had started my apprenticeship sooner so I could go over there and help build shit like this. The rollers and other mine clearing shit they have put on western vehicles? So aesthetically pleasing. The mig-8 with western rocket launchers? Fuck yes. I just wish we'd seen more of it. Like they came up with a package for the T-62's they captured similar to the medications on the M-55s' they have from Slovenia. Even the bassinet-type drone nets are aesthetic, somehow. Bless farming nations that obsessively adapt.
>>62516830They would have to era and drone-net/mesh the fuck out of that too. Overall effect would be a frog poking it's eyes out from underwater in a pond covered in leaf litter.
