it has been a while since I've seen armor directly engaging anything, then just shrugging off lancets and FPV dronestanks are backhttps://files.catbox.moe/x73tqk.mp4
>>65580673Drone on drone to defend that armour is cool but this isn't anything new, armour has been throwing HE at treelines and buildings the whole time.What has stopped is armoured pushes followed by infantry actually gaining significant ground which isn't what this video shows.
>>65580681Feels like they are testing the concept, not sure if either side has the resources to spare for major offensives atm, but if armor can be effectively protected in this way it could be a return of mobility to the battlefield.
>>65580690The thing stopping large scale troop movement isn't FPVs. The real danger is drone observation combined with artillery. FPVs are a counter to the bite+hold and infiltration tactics that were invented/rediscovered to allow some sort of offensive movement in a transparent battlespace where any sizable force concentration is going to have a bunch of shells or rockets dropped on it long before it gets anywhere useful.
>>65580690Hedgehog / Porcupine armour has been around for ~2 years and pretty effective that whole time.There have been reports of several tanks with it taking dozens of FPVs to kill.
>>65580673I was about to ask which side this was, but I saw the file name say Bradley and the video footage cane be clearly made out, so it must be Ukrainian.
>>65580701the vehicles look like something that could be a standardized kit and not haphazardly slapped together
>>65580707No turret rotation on the tank is still a glaring issue, I don't get why more of them aren't supported by the turret so they rotate with it.
>>65580673Man can only imitate nature
>>65580690So far the ukies seem to be able to push armour forward at will, but only across short distances and within specific, limited time windowsThat said, the ongoing Lyman offensive proves you can sustainably take ground this way so the theory holds and we will likely see a return to manoeuvre before the war ends
>>65580709That's probably a bit too much weight for those poor turret servos to handle on their own
>>65580710no, we can also hug it
>>65580722Good point, might be a common upgrade in the near future.
>>65580673my only thought is, those tank crews have huge balls.
>>65580735I love how humans become friends with anything.

>>65580919HAHAHAHAHAHAno.

>>65581105It is exactly the response you deserve in this instance.
>>65580673>openfile>laugh at music choice for a mobile garbage can >watch video anywayKino, Comfy even. The garbage pile tech has really escalated, even in aesthetics, best I’ve seen so far.Unrelated I guess but they should make a spice and wolf remake with these things.
>>65580673This is Ukrainian and not zigger right? So it's good and not cringe?
>>65581131Nah, he's a delusional retard too since russian tanks are death traps, but using a reddit frog? Be better.
>>65580919LMAO. Russian transmissions are garbage and break faster than western ones despite the lwoer weight of their tanks.
>>65580681Yeah the drone on drone intercept to defend the tanks was something. Seems like the next step from that is to have something like a drone CIWS in the form of those CROWS turrets in addition to a self deployed interceptor.>Tanks will become battlestars.
>>65581267We just need to resume the course the ancestors laid down with the lostech land ironclads and battleships
>>65581131this

>>65580735HedgeHOGs
>>65580697>The real danger is drone observation combined with artilleryartillery effects get diminished by the extensive bunker network at the frontline and loitering drones watching for arty guns to reveal themselves. nowadays in ukraine arty guns are either hidden single use guns or self propelled guns that spend most of their time far away from the frontline and only drive into range for a few minutes to shoot 4-5x and then immediately fuck off again. tube artillery is basically dead.

>>65580919that's an Abrams in the video ...
>>65581465Its an M1 and a Brad
>>65581474https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGtuVIkWw20it is what the ukranians are reporting
Just FYI, there's 2 units using the M1 Abrams, the 47th and 475th and the 475 only stared using theirs in Aug last year.So this is more than likely one of the Australian M1A1's they've been given and OSINTechnical seems to think its an M1 as well>in the year 2026 everything evolves finally into Stug>escorted by robots
>>65581159>ukrainian good, zigger cringe?Correct.My dear untermensch, consider what the r*ssoid equivalents look like...
>>65581530I wonder what 'invisible to drones' spell looks like?Is it an illusion where the operators goes, nah that's a piece of shit, not a tank and goes off to blow up something else. Or its invisible to his drone's actual value and just gets someone to drop artillery on it.So many questions :(
>>65581538How?? The shed tank supposedly stronger than normal ones.
>>65581538Truly characteristic.You see, by painting "HOMOSEXUAL" on the side of their juggernaut, it becomes invisible by blending into the rest of the r*ssoid landscape...A sort of "Where's Waldo" effect.
>>65581530>tracked garden shed
>>65581541But in terms of sheer pageantry and regalia, few stand beside this early Classic.
>>65581541>You see, by painting "HOMOSEXUAL" on the side of their juggernaut, it becomes invisible by blending into the rest of the r*ssoid landscape...what the fuck...

>>65581589We need to talk Pidor, its been going on a long old time and there's been no acceptance of what you are.Going forward, we're going to need you meet us at least halfway on the matter

>>65580902animal husbandry and pack behavior is likely to be a feature of most intelligent species if aliens are ever encountered. being able to leverage other animals to perform work or assist in survival is a huge boon for all parties involved as far as evolution is concerned.
>>65581495It's a fucking T- 64. No Abrams gives that much diesel plume from the back oriented exhaust. Also, notice the contour of barrel and a wobble after each shot.
>>65580735gotta sleep fast

>>65581604i can see why they murdered anna politkovskaya
>>65582780>>65581541>homosexualAckshyually it's named Gromozeka, which was the name of an alien from the 1981 Soviet animated film Taйнa тpeтьeй плaнeты/The Mystery of the Third Planet; I presume that they saw a resemblance between the tank and his bulky space suit.
>>65581788Indeed, you found his brother-tank.I'd lamented that I hadn't saved & labeled it back in 2023. But you graciously posted it. Now I'll save it, just as I saved the "Jesus's children will TM-62 satchel charge the house" webm.
>>65580735
>>65582893h-he's fast!
>>65582893wow, look at him go!
Scary to see that they get a visit from around six drones in what seems to be a two hour op
>>65580697>The real danger is drone observation combined with artillery.The omi-present observation and inability to mislead the enemy or carry out surprise offensives. Either artillery or own mobile reserves will mobilize in time to effectively counter any heavy focus of infantry.>FPVs are a counter to the bite+hold and infiltration tacticsWhich themselves are seemingly an improvisations or budget version of using regular guided weapons or platoon/company support weapons such as mortars to push against these attacks.Without a concentrated effort to first blind the enemy their observation, across large parts, there is basically no way an armored push can work. At this point I'm convinced that it is the case and that the front is too long and the abilities to limited for either side, which is why they resorted to these looney tunes ass improvisations.
>>65581283This may be crazy enough to fucking work, but not in the "Unstoppable Killing Machine" way, but more in the "DISTRACTION CARNIFEX" way; because the enemy can't just leave it alone and will have to dedicate time and resources to deal with it, which means there will be a severe lack of resources in other areas opening up more offensive opportunities elsewhere along the line.
>>65583598The real trick is defeating landmines/IED's which sort of dampens the fun, plus you don't really have the mobility and ability to defend it against something like the modern and sort of old, NLAW, Javelin and other top-attack missiles which quite happily sail through about 20-30" of RHA.There might be some kind of way up armouring against those kinds of warheads to defeat some but its still quite the problem, something people smarter than me will probably figure out one day with enough money. Then we might see the all autocannon landraider out there turning ziggers into pink mist
Classic lancet accuracy LMAO
>>65583860Whats up with that? Lancets missed short of their targets when first deployed, would continue to miss short years later and if this is recent then the issue hasn't been adressed.Is there an aerodynamics problem at high angles of attack with it?
>>65584197seems like a complete loss of control at high velocity
>>65580673Wait wait wait wait! The porcupine tank is effectively operating as a casemate SPG. Something like the S-Tank with added protection would be absolutely perfect for the role.
>>65584817we are so back
>>65584817>>65584826Since it has direct fire sights and only needs limited elevation you could slab over a tracked Koksan with a bunch of metal sheets and porc it up.
>>65580783
>>65580673holy shit they literally got fpv drones flying around as cover and anti drone kamikaze
>>65583860I think it just took the bait, or very terrible reception
>>65584804Coulda been AI targeting that picked the burnt-out wreck it...well, also missed, but by a much smaller margin.
>>65582893alright how bout a mid 2000s skate vid?>tfw you already hear the wheels roll on them tiles and the indie rock soundtrack
