  1. Bandera akbar production a T62 with BMP turret and artistic era placment on BMP1 turret that would probably colapse in case Era block explosion.
  2. Looks like Europe will end up on M1 as most of Euro tanks will end up being scraped in Ukraine . No one is going to be buying Leclerc or Leopard after Ukraine and honestly manufacturing in Europe is getting killed by green new deal being showed down every ones throats.
  3. Its was a Universal turret program, turret could fit ,T72 ,T80 ,T90 , much-improved armor and cannon . It had a dual cycle loader so it could load longer rounds from the turret bustle greatly increasing its firepower due to APFSDS with much longer penetrator core. No rounds outside the autoloader, which pose the main threat in case of armor penetration were stored in the tank. Overall “Burlak” project was a backup for a technically risky T-95 project.(Black Eagle). It seems both projects were cut in favor of Armata. Unlike popular myth , the rounds in the autoloader are fairly well protected,its the spare rounds all over the tank that are most likely to blow up if tank is penetrated.
  4. Ukrainans doing some turret throwing
  5. Leopards getting some soviet reactive armor to bolster rather thin baseline armor of a A4 variant APU is installing the Russian "Kontakt-1"

    Upgrade to LIDAR fuse ,so now things blow up even if they get entangled into chicken wire * what is with the constant use of watermarks, they are used so extensively that they should be classed as a war crime.
  7. Yes but US has stocks of old stuff that can be upgraded and sold or just supplied in short order , while in Europe they have been cutting Armored vehicles and tanks up into scrap metal since 1991 . One KMW owned junkyard alone cut over 17.000 armored vehicles since 1991
  8. New built ,Assembled in Germany , as Gemany has no tank production line , most of the Leopard 2 parts , including all hulls are manufactured in Greece these days as it has basically Europes only tank production line and its very low production capacity so tanks are practically hand built with corresponding quality issues that come form such low rate production , like cracked turret rings that plagued Greek Leopard 2 order. Its also long wait for anything 2 years from metal being cut to first tank rolling off hence 2026-31 delivery timeframe. At 31mio Eur per tank if you count the whole order with associated costs and spares its no wonder Korean K2 is a serious contender , they still have a hot production line vs butique Leopard production.
  9. I guess its has a lot to do with the Radar emissions of APS , active Trophy can be detected tens of kilometers away Report (https://www.janes.com/defence-news/land-forces/latest/iav-2023-eurotrophy-set-for-silent-mode-capability) that the managing director of EuroTrophy GmbH (a joint venture of the Israeli company Rafael, KMW and General Dynamics to promote the Trophy active protection system developed by Rafael to the European market) Dan Kalfus said at the International Armored Vehicles (IAV) 2023 conference in London that a set of Othello passive electro-optical sensors is being developed for the EuroTrophy APS, which will allow APS to work without activating the standard Elta EL/M-2133 radar sensors for Trophy, thereby ensuring the secrecy of operation without radio emission. In 2021, the Ministries of Defense of Israel and Germany conducted successful tests of the Rafael Trophy APS on the German Leopard 2A7 tank, which opened the way for the development and promotion of the EuroTrophy variant
  10. You forgot the ad point 7 7. where the fuck do we get new tanks. US has been playing the Euros like a fiddle , instead of donating Abrams that is actually available in thousands , its forcing europeans to divest of their meager stocks , Britain , France, Germany each have only about 200 MBTs and no capacity to produce more in near term. Even US M1 that will be going to Ukraine will be on a very slow boat , new manufactured months after Leo2 start burning up If you google up supply so far US supplied almost no heavy armor nor SPG artilery , NATO europe is practically divested of artillery ,Denmark has no single piece left due to Ukraine supply. 4. is being set up , as unlike what folks imagine most of these tanks are fairly old A4 models that is armored even less than T72 monkey models and will go up in flames same as any other , its not like we are seeing tank duels , its mostly mines,ATGMS and artillery wrecking tanks. Great article on how US is making best of oprotunity to wipeout German competition on international arms markets. https://www.nzz.ch/international/kampfpanzer-leopard-2-us-ruestungsinteressen-lassen-scholz-zoegern-ld.1722377

    UAV thread

    That camo net did not stop anything, a 12kg drone crashing in at 250+km/h is not stopping on camo netting 50cm above the tank also suicide drones do not have an contact fuse but and internal impact fuse so as long it stops abrupty with loth of negative G it will go off., was anything actually stopped or just staged for a vid is another question , lots of faked shit gets posted.
  12. I seems SU57 scored it first air to air kill by downing an Ukrainian SU27 So a grand total of 10x production SU57 are now officially delivered , the 11th one was lost in testing prior handover to the military. Plane deliveries to RuAF in 2022 4x Su-30SM2, 10x Su-34M 7x Su-35S 6x Su- 57 2x Yak-130s 5x Il-76MD-90A
  13. Maxim machine guns 1940 model on the roof of one of the residential high-rises in Kiev. Meant for defense against Shaheds
  14. Jihaded JDAMSKI GPS guided extended range kits for cast iron.
  15. There is hardly any point in deploying these to Ukraine considering there are notmany tank on tank engagements let alone any that T90 couldn't handle.
  16. By the way fotona Lird that was first used on M84 -Yougoslav T72 clones , is now being manufactured In iran meanwhile Fotona exited miltary lasers and is now mostly doing medical lasers ,famous for Lasering Kardashians faces and vaginas.
