Could old shipping containers be repurposed lfor building turtle tanks?
>>64661736yeah
>>64661736no.
>>64661736>if it fits: it ships.
>>64661736Its hard to comprehend how truly pathetic were people not 4 years ago when they were talking about T-14's and Terminators.This is what we got instead.
Instead of a cage or thin bulletproof steel plate, they used a heavy container, making it into an assault tank.
>>64661986Y-you don't actually believe 'heavy' containers are actually bulletproof, r-right? What the fuck is even a 'heavy' container?The fact we're nearly in year 5 and the russians are still doing these ad-hoc field conversions probably means they're more emotional support armor rather than an actually effective way to protect the tank otherwise they'd probably have standardised it and produce factory kits by now.Its the equivalent of putting concrete and sanbags on your Sherman during world war 2. Especially ironic considering trough how much trouble soviet tank designers went to make their tanks small, low profile, hard to hit and then have them topped with shipping containers in 2025.

>>64661736The other half of the Gavin equation.
>>64661736What happened to the hedgehog style tanks? Did they stop making those?
>>64662279Lot easier to embezzle the funds. You still bill for all the materials/labor to make the hedgehog tank, weld all the spikes, etc, but you just slap a CONEX on top that you have lying around. Bingo, new dacha for you (not like the tank or the crew was going to survive anyway).
>>64662007>Especially ironic considering trough how much trouble soviet tank designers went to make their tanks small, low profile, hard to hitIt never stops being funny.
>>64662279There is no plan or doctrine. Just retarded mechanics slapping on what ever they have available.
>>64662007>What the fuck is even a 'heavy' container?the big one>Y-you don't actually believe 'heavy' containers are actually bulletproof, who said anything about them having to be bulletproof?>they're more emotional support there's literal videos with ua soldiers saying they're actually a positive addition (more or less)
They are more efficient for packing cubiks.Land Container Carriers
>>64662279Hedgehog tanks were more distinctly Russian.
