Should the US buy Spruts and BMD4s from Russia to cope with the M10 Booker fiasco?>internal crew spacehire midgets
>>64676166>should the US buy antiquated communist deathtraps?gee that's a tough question OP
The only thing I'll be buying from Russia are mail order brides when they balkanize
>>64676175but they're all drugged up and AIDSy!
>>64676174about as much of a death trap as the bradley doesee the kraine
>>64676190
>>64676196>RT le bad because... it just is okaydo nu/k/akas really?
>>64676201post hands gun and outlet
>>64676190bradley kills T-90s and lives through catastrophic damage. what's the problem?
>>64676166Has russia even used these during the 3 day SMO?
>>64676166Anon, these things can be punched open with an M1 Garand. They're only armored if you count not denting from a thrown rock to be armor.
>Full power 125 with carousel and even less protection, Michael Bay compliant. >Complex (for russians) gearbox ready to self-destroy itself>trying to use a paratrooper glass cannon as SPGSure.
>>64676190the kraine has proven the chadly as the best around>inb4 but what about [loss]yes, thats what happens to vehicles, and the chadley has an extremely low loss rate
>>64676166>Should the US buy Spruts and BMD4s from Russia to cope with the M10 Booker fiasco?Senior Sergeant Bob Hambubger of Fort Cavasos TX here, I am demoralized.
>>64676166No, the Spirit sucks too.What we should do is revisit the Sheridan. Maybe make it shoot Hellfires or something. Maybe TOWs.
>>64676705>revisit the SheridanWhy? It's still a piece of shit, and changing its main armament won't change that.
>>64676705>>64676751We should revisit the Sheridan's gun, but the tank itself is better remaining at the bottom of the sea.
>>64676751Consider where we’d be today if we had continued to develop the technology and doctrine pioneered by the thing.
>>64676174With this administration you can never know
>>64676166>SprutsThey look good, but in reality rattle themselves to pieces.
>>64676166Mind you Sprut-M has same 125mm gun as Armata with 800mm RHA pen (M256 had 700mm pen).
>>64677085>(M256 had 700mm pen)With what, ammo from the early 80's?Also>believing zigger figuresLMAO.
>>64676276No, it's really bad even beyond the obvious "newest content for most spectacular ammo cook-off" issue. It just flat doesn't work well and russia only procured a spare handful.A nebulous unfucking may or may not be happening but we know how they can go.Funny to see it still used as a propaganda piece in current year ngl
>>64677097>With what, ammo from the early 80's?With M829A3. M829A4 velocity wasn't leaked but it's probably the same and penetration too.Russian 125mm was held back by penetrator length limits and barrel pressure. 2A82-1M removed these limitations asd it has longer barrel than M256.
