Some random takeaways.>2A46M-4, not M-5.>ERA replaced with rubber blocks>rather messy inside>maintenance is lacking>driver position is missing some basic shit like hand rails>gunner's night sight broken>lot's of similarities with T-64 and T-72 of course>lots of anti spall liners by the autoloader, to prevent tosses I bet>commander's station is comfortable, but he doesn't get rangefinder>laser warning receivers useful>shtora ir dazzlers uselessThey are already replacing radios and adding ERA blocks to use it in combat.
>>64262632So this is why Europe is spending trillions to defend against? Honest to God question
>>64262660>I John from the Texas Oblast I'm very concerned about the financial condition of Euros.
>>64262660Even a retarded chimp will try to bite your balls off if you let it.
>>64262632>Stealing videos from Shawshank and adding garbage AI voiceover.I hate youtube grifters so much its unreal. Original channel is much more interesting even if i cant understand half the stuff he is saying.https://www.youtube.com/@Shawshank.
>>64262698Europe already dwarfs Russian military spending, prosecuting far more advanced hardware. Why need to spend trillions more?
>>64262718>prosecutingProducing*
>>64262718>far more advanced hardwarelike what? in terms of comfort it is superior, but regarding actual combat ability, it's about the same. so we (Europeans) need to spend more to keep up with Russia
>>64262718To keep the retarded monkey from attacking and causing harm to human lives.
>>64262660it's not just for russia, but for any future uppity thirdies that try something, russia is just the justification for the normies, the reality is that europe has lost faith in trying to tame subhumans and have finally realized that mutual benefit won't stop them from chimping out.they're simply regrowing their white pimp hand.
>>64262743>but regarding actual combat ability, it's about the sameno lol.having more overmatch against shitholes is simply better because it means less lives lost in the event of thirdie chimpout, european lives are worth far more than those of the subhumans we're fighting so just like with the US and their enemies, victory isn't enough, we need a victory while losing less than 5000 soldiers ideally.
He seems to wonder why there are so much anti spall liners in the hatches... If you ask me it is because top attack munitions like the TOW or NLAW etc. convinient for drones aswel i bet.
>>64262632>capturing your enemy’s weapons >repair, upgrade, and field them Does anyone else enjoy this besides me?
>>64262632>>ERA replaced with rubber blockscan't this be NERA?
>>64262817No, NERA is a very specific design like an angled sandwich made of multiple layers of non-explosive material between hard steel plates, they simply put a block of rubber in the kontakt brick case. it's useless.
>>64262632>ERA replaced with rubber blocks>rather messy inside>maintenance is lacking>driver position is missing some basic shit like hand rails>gunner's night sight brokenThe spirit of Factory 183 lives on in modern BTRZs apparently.
>>64262839vgh, retvrn to tradition
is there a tour like this for the t-90m
>>64262859I dont know, but heres a one with T-72B3 obr. 2016.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtvEwGWUPgo
>>64262660>So this is why Europe is spending trillions to defend against? Honest to God questionEstonia, Latvia, Lithuania, are all tiny and can't defend themselves and lack any stategic depth. no one thinks Russia is going to steamroll all the way to Spain or Britain. This is to protect the smaller states so they remain independent. Russia could also create another war in Poland or Finland, whcih while bigger and can fight, would be put in a similar situation as Ukraine is. They'd not be taken over, but get bogged down in years of fighting.
>>64262660do you think europe is dragging its feet on the whole psychotic chimp next door situation because it's their only excuse for having any form of standing military and not just relying on papa US for military dick waving
>>64262660Because Pax Americana has ended. Uniquely, America is the only known empire in history to willingly and enthusiastically sabotage it's own rule over its vassal states. So now, these former vassal states suddenly find half of their military can no longer function without America's logistics, tech, intel and manpower. So they have to scramble to rebuild everything from scratch.
>>64264364>the only known empire in history to willingly and enthusiastically sabotage it's own rulehistory is pretty long anon, there are precedents for fucking up this bad, many of them due to the same cause: a narcissistic/senile/insane leader
>>64264364>Pax Americanaoxymoron
>>64262718Because human lives are worth more than Russians.Not even Russians value Russian lives.
>>64262718To build up the European MIC and stop buying from 'murrica. Meets the current wartime needs and makes the EU way more independent in terms of security. Will result in cheaper Euro weapons and more expensive US weapons down the line. Before any Americans sperg out, this only happened because Biden tried to "manage escalation" instead of simply drowning the Ukies in surplus munitions in 2022 and 2023.
>>64262660>why europe spend money to defend against russia, we never hurt anyone :((((( this is HATO provocation
>>64262660Yes Euroland should stay docile and peaceful against Ruzzian liberation!>Harry Burger from Arizona Oblast
>>64264364Pax AtomicaThe United States didn't establish an end to war between the great powers, and for its part neither did the Soviet Union: the atom bomb did.
Original video is over 2 years old. I'm sure things are much better now )))))
>>64262632Are those random rags and bits of trash purposefully placed there? Like at 4:15 he puts the old jacket or whatever back on to the tank.
>>64262953>and can't defend themselvesbut two of them have successfully defended themselves against russia in the past with minimal outside help. even all mighty finland only has like 5.5 million today vs 4 million it had in the winter war. While russia is 140ish million vs 170+ million of SU back thenisrael has been consistently buck breaking its much larger arab neighbors ever since its inception and long before US even started considering selling/sending any arm clay size on map and population numbers are meme for fools that are bamboozled by big numbers. all that matters is >what quality military you can yield logistically >on what kind of terrain >with what kind of sustainabilityvatniks are extremely underperforming and poor in every category and all that is driving their "invincibility" mythos are the warped results of ww2 where UK/US took care of all the unsexy logistics for them
>>64264952its more of the illusion of the atom then what is realistic. on ground no way is muscovia for example going to risk getting bombed themselves for fucking vladivostok or dagestan. if they know everything they could theoretically throw out can be thrown back at them in kind. as ukranians demonstrated conventional war within the peripheries of the empire are fair game. eventually more bold generals/leaders will take initiative and test out this theory and soon discover that in reality maximum you can expect is some limited exchanges in the distant provinces. Then its back to the big fights
>>64264364>vassalwestern world does not work that way ranjeesh. these are american allies and friends that will gladly restore relationship with US after they get over they emo isolationism phase
>>64265122I don’t necessarily want them to go back to babysitting us militarily, and i’m completely fine with them pivoting towards china while we focus on european enemies.US defense of europe made sense during the cold war but has slowly lost it’s purpose, russia is weak as fuck now and the rebuilding european militaries will be able to deal with them and other smaller threats just fine.
>>64264914>HATOTheir usage of this term never ceases to make me smirk. In the way they're trying to use it, it would be spelt HATE-O. What they come out with is like saying "hat oh".
>>64262793I have a folder...
>>64262953Poland or Finland alone would absolutely cream russia in its current state
>>64265317God, imagine the kino that would be
>>64262632>>shtora ir dazzlers uselessThis has always been the case.
>>64265340They used to work against Soviet tech.
>>64262749Europe already can do this. You keep repeating yourself
>>64262753>any future uppity thirdies that try somethingYou literally can't name a single country
>>64262632>overview from Ukrainian tanker's perspectiveI love propagandaslop so much, bros
>>64266065What propaganda though?
>>64262660The soviets spend decades and sacrificed much to build up a gigantic number of these shitboxes.It shouldn't be surprising that it takes time and money to grind down their stockpile.
>>64262660Europe is trying to build up war infrastructure during peace time which means you need to grease palms with lots of money.
>>64264778just like the original Pax Romana began with the total slaughter of the of the cantabri and contained numerous other genocides before the end
>>64265333Trips of truth... all you have to tell poland is that attacking russia is free of consequences.That's it.
>>64266024All the other third world shitholes with resentment towards western values should suffice as an aswer.Thirdies will always chimp out is the lesson we’ve learned, we’re just going to hit them with a hammer whenever they stick their necks out to start shit.
>>64262660Overmatch. Its not enough to stall Russia, or to even kick their asses in the event of conflict. The goal is overwhelming capabilities such that a war with Russia would be a very rapid and ez win for NATO with minimal casualties. There is also a risk of other thirdie shitholes acting up and without the US europe needs to be able to handle its own shit. Russia and Isreal have both demonstrated that war is back on the menu. Unless you are capable of killing someone, they can easily fuck your shit up and nobody within the 'rules based orders is going to do shit to stop them. That can even include conflict between European countries. Either direct or as a consequence of civil unrest requiring intervention from other European states into the failed state.
>>64262702OP's a faggot given the subtitle autotranslation worked pretty well too.
>>64265183I need to make a folder now.
>>64262632This is the same tank btw that showed up in America. "Maestro".
>>64262793>>64265183
>>64265333Muscovites are currently knocking down the war memorial statues and scrubbing the epitaphs on Winter War and Continuation War soldiers' graveyards in Karelia.Needless to say, such activities are not making us Finns very happy.
