DIONIS writes that a "redesign" is needed for the T-14 - HIT OF THE DAY !
A tank with new active and passive protection, radars, "Pterodactyl" drone, new engines and a new gun, but here's the genius - it needs a "significant redesign".
This tank is still a tank, but it is technologically ahead of all other tanks.
Yeah, not like lessons are learned in actual combat or anything.

I know, right? The flood of tears and howls of despair from the ukropi rent-a-crowd will be truly LEGENDARY. So many on-line reputations are about to be crushed into red paste.
Russian military war > Ukropi social media war

Most of the recent conflict related posts seems to suggest the Orcs are getting pushed back from their gains already before any extra Russian troops have arrived...

They are, but the T14 is not designed for this sort of conflict specifically... I would say it is more a mobility and fire power conflict so a Kurganets or even Boomerang based tank would be more suited... the T-14 is designed for urban slogs.

Ok, so we'll roll them out when Russia gets to Lvov. After the city is levelled to the sub-basements, they'll send in T-14s to eradicate the holdouts

The US flag is just a torn rag used to absorb the farts of a Russian truck driver.

Cost benefit

I hope for that price Russia gets an base at the Persian Gulf on top.
The Su 34 cost $36MM according to Western media. Take a 50% haircut and call it $18MM. You could buy 900 Iranian attack drones for that price. Guess which will have a bigger impact on the battlefield. Best $20k the Russian MOD ever spent.

If they are using T-14s than they have to be really confident to smash through ukrainian forces without ukrainians getting any T-14s in return, I am upset they captured a T-90 I dont want the west to reverse engineer technology to get close to Russia's combat technology levels, Russia made multiple **** ups before letting the U.S. capture Hinds from operation mount hope 3, project azorian capturing a soviet submarine, kholod project sharing scramjet technology with them and letting ufimtsevs stealth equation get copied. I will go apeshit if I ever see a T-14 in ukraines hands.

What, you don't think the West already have spies in the Russian factories?
Capturing hardware is trophy PR.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.made-in-china.com/amp/product/Limbach-L550e-Uav-Engine-775866695.html
The chinese copy of the Limbach L550 engine cost nearly 20k.
The price should fall in the 25k.
Why on earth would a 500cc 2 stroke air cooled engine that has to last for less then 5 hours cost 20K? That is ABSURD. I would estimate manufacturing cost in high volume to be around $3-500. A V12 Mercury outboard with 600 hp is only 77K retail. That is a gem of an engine that will last for thousands of hours.

The Armata platform is expected to serve as the armored backbone of the Russian Army for 50 years. As such it has modularity built into the system and has huge capacities for modernization. Its silly to think the design will stay stagnant when they have been steadily remodeling and replacing elements over the years - exactly because its a work in progress that takes in developments in armored warfare as they come.diabetus wrote:

No need to worry as come winter the Russians, armed with new strategy, tactics, training, and technology from the lessons of the SMO will be attacking exhausted and battered Ukrainians at a mere 1:3 numerical disadvantage instead of the 10:1 they have been laboring under. The possibilities of the conditions for the capture of material would be lessened, if not eliminated altogether with the extra personnel mobilized.

Why the rush in sending Armata tho ? Has it even enter proper serial production ? T-14 is not the tank itself but a system, where i think T-14 and T-15 will be the offensive elements while T-16 play part in logistics and maintenance. It's a totally new system to Russian army.

I hope so to, somehow there are ukrainian drones trying to target Tu-22s. please dont tell me they have to go fire another top russian military official.
the good part looks like there is no destroyed tu-22 if i am looking at these 3 pictures correctly, but if a drone got that fucking close than this questions if air defenses are in airfields.

I am trying very hard to relax these last few weeks, I am given a little hope with some maps that russia is slightly regaining shit. All we can do is hope for a better tommorow than today.

Stop spreading NATzO propaganda you chicken shit sixth columnist closet nazi.
The Generals and the Kremlin are on the case. The People can rest assured. I am personally waiting for Konashenkov to come to any conclusion.
There is ample room for this be negligence. It could have been a smoldering cigarette but or spontaneous combustion due to sunny weather.
I do actually agree with you for once, my dear Pork Sisig Enjoyer. Blow up some pipelines in the North Sea as retaliation for once. Until that happens I will continue rightfully pointing this out as a CLOWNSHOW.

I want Russia to just annihilate everything in Pukraine already! NATzO will just continue to dial up the aggression because they know Russia will not do anything. Erase Pukraine from the map and then seize the entire territory. Make sure no one is left alive.

It's time to recognize it's not a matter of lack of will but of lack of ability.
If the only threat is tactical nukes, that is pathetic.

It looks like the bridge is taken out. Large spans of the vehicle bridge are taken out, and a train is on fire.
Holy crap. The last 3 weeks have been worse than I can imagine, but this is a disaster of ridiculous proportions.
