Or other old kit pre-T54 like the T-26 or KV Series or IS-Series or T-44. (On a side note, how many T-34's do Russia, China, and North Korea have combined)
>>64321896Probably not that low of a chance, but it's been a long ass time since those tanks were made so they could be unserviceable
>>64321896It's more probable to see a APC-killdozer before Christmas than a T-34
>>64321896extremely lowsince they didnt even have enough T-34s to fill a parade, much less a battalion of them
>>64321932Don't the Norks have like a 100 of them heavily heavily upgraded in combat condition
>>64321941From what I can find, the T-34's were given T-55 style mountings for ATGMs and were eventually given new roadwheels and an all-steel track. There's also the belief that the machine guns were replaced as well as new radio's being installed. However, it's believed that the T-34s that remain are only being used as trainers
>>64321896Tank losses are lower than what they should be, so to answer the question I say odds for them to appear even in infantry support roles / ersatz artillery are meager. However, an obsolete tank can still be an offroad worthy hull, so I expect modified units to appear in modern equivalent of battle of bulge as suicide drones, jamming platform or rear echelon support vehicles.
In 9 years a T-34 would be top of the line modern again.
>>64321912They are serviceable because they share many parts with other soviet tech, and rebuild kits are still available for them. Even if the part is not available, a new one can be machined based on the factory parts catalogue.in fact they are more serviceable than any of the T series that came later
>>64321896Allegedly a panther tank was floating around making kills.Phantom panther had 5 kills to it's name before it stopped being mention, something about a lack of rounds.
>>64321896IS series/T-10 possible but rather unlikelyThe oldest you might see is an SU-100 since at least that one has current users. The KV series and older have been relegated to museums long ago.
>>64321896Unlikely. You have to reconsider what it means for material to be "depleted" - it never means that the military in question has literally zero tanks, troops, rifles, etc. In practical terms it just means that they have so little of that resource left that any additional trickly will not result in a meaningful return to combat effectiveness. Even the most rat-fucked army like Germany in April 1945 will still find or produce *a* modern tank or 15 """able-bodied troops""" if they look hard enough. The vatniks, for all their rapebaby mongol-brained retardation, still understand that any situation where the small handful of operational T-34s are their last available armored chassies is inherently unsalvagable.The one caveat is that in the aforementioned Germany example, a genuine war of annihilation that breaches all defensive lines, then sure, maybe a museum piece might get pulled as a mobile pillbox. But this an offensive war for Russia, not defensive. So until the international timetravelling niggerjew reptile coalition of all-nations-that-arent-russia initiates their final push into moscow, then no, we won't see T-34s on the fiele. Unfortunately.
>>64321896>https://youtu.be/kT_ljkO3adY?si=cOeOr4Z08gYNa9N4TLDR: The odds are near zero, but it's not impossible in a physics sense.
>>64323953T-54’s aren’t exactly up to date and they’ve been used offensively
>>64324471The difference is that, while both are outdated, the T54 still exists in sufficient numbers that its deployment can* still make a meaningful difference in the field. The number of functioning T34s is so small that no scenario exists in which their use would be worth the effort, outside of a hopeless last-ditch defense.* emphasis on the word "can." The theoretical utility of the T54, represented in the formula by U, is reduced by multiplying its value by the given value of the MTRBB (Mongol Turkic Rape Baby Brain) factor.
>>64324545Early T-54s showing up was a bigger surprise than the T-72 UralsWhere have they hidden either of these tanks and why
>>64321896Nope. They already skipped to donkeys and horses.
>>64321941Russia could probably get T-55s from elsewhere for cheaper than what itd take to get a T-34 out of mothballs and working again
>>64324545Considering how the ruA was peicemealing crap into the front lines it wouldn't matter.
