Its the end of an era. South korea finally retires T-80U and BMP-3:
https://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htarm/articles/20190406.aspx#startofcomments
It would be good to know what was their opinion about these two vehicles. Some sources say koreans were satisfied, others say they didnt like them...
From what I’ve heard they really liked them in regards to size, performance and mobility, and firepower. If I can find the sources I’ll link them on here.

How often do they have to replace those?

Damn that’s a big one

Does anyone have the original YouTube link for this video? I used to have it but I don’t know if the video had he deleted or not.

My vote is for 1911. It's been around this long, it has to be doing something right.
I think I’ll pass on that suggestion.

Thank you for the in-depth answer Sturgeon. I just recently heard about this and wondered about it for some time. Owning a handgun I feel is especially necessary for where I live due to the pretty bad criminal activity that goes on. I do own a shotgun I purchased but if I ever had to use it at home which is a situation I do feel could very well happen, it won’t be convenient and could hamper me actually dealing with the situation. I’ve actually had multiple instances in the past few months where I’ve been threatened and chased and almost attacked by random people in public and something like this if I can legally defend myself would be extremely beneficial Incase the situation arises.
I’ve actually shot quite a few handguns including a lot of Glocks like a 17, 19, 22, 23, etc, some CZ’s, S&W, and some Ruger’s. However as you pointed out I’ve never CCW’d before obviously so I don’t know how it would work out for me. It sounds ridiculous but even though I don’t have a problem with Glocks, I do like them and how they shoot and feel, I don’t really want one because of aesthetic reasons. As retarded as that sounds. I’ve shot the S&W 2.0 and I did quite enjoy that along with a CZ of which I can’t remember the name (it was some compact model) and they were both really nice. Are there any specific handguns you’ve shot that you can recommend? If I can’t really find anything other than a Glock then I’ll of course get it because I know it’ll work no matter what but I do wish to avoid it for the reasons I stated.
As for AR’s, have you had experience with the Bushmaster XM-15 or the Delton Armory AR’s I’ve shot the latter once before and it seemed like a decent rifle however I’ve not done anything other than fire a full magazine through one. The Bushmaster is one I’m looking at because it’s within my price range and from what I remember of Bushmaster it should be of good quality? I’ve also looked at the River AR-556 and the M&P 15 which I’ve also seen cheap enough for me afford.
I’m actually going to join the police academy next year for my city and try to become a police officer so I’m wanting to broaden my experience a little bit due to the nature of that job and where it’ll be located at.

So after doing some sluething on my state laws, I discovered some pretty major loopholes in handgun ownership for those under 21 (I’m 19)
From what I’ve gathered and from what I’ve been told by those I know in law enforcement and those currently serving in the military, I can legally own a handgun and actually carry the handgun in my vehicle even though I’m not 21 due to some loopholes in handgun and firearm ownership laws.
What would be a good starter handgun to buy as my first handgun? I would like to buy one now and then get my CCW and use that handgun for when I’m legally allowed to carry it on my person. I personally wouldn’t mind carrying SOME full sized handguns like a Glock 17 or M&P 2.0
Also what would be a good starter AR to get that’s below $1,000; that’s another firearm on my list to soon get.

I’m looking forward to his Inside The Hatch Video on the M1A1, hope he does one of the M60 there as well.

Yeah the Osorio was a extremely impressive vehicle from a company like them. It’s really sad that certain vehicles like that and the AMX-40 for example never take off.
-
I think a Abrams with a Burlak style turret setup would be pretty interesting. I’ve never seen them put armor on the front of the turret before.

Do you have any photos of when Russia sent the ROK T-80’s? Like the delivery of the tanks?

I bet she’ll feel really spoiled when her Water Pump fails, her camshaft takes a shit, or when her air suspension fails.

The guys who made the film "USS Indianapolis" (starring Nicolas Cage) would like you to hold their beer while they proceed to lower the bar.
For some reason, that Portland-class cruiser was in the middle of mutating into an Iowa when the Japanese decided to voice their disapproval.
So...yeah, the CGI guys are occasionally capable of utter blasphemies that simply elude our understanding. Sorry for the naval digression, I just felt I had to post it in response to Conner Webb's statement.
I watched 15 minutes of that movie and my eyes started to bleed. That movie has to be the most pitiful laughing stock of military films in the past 5 years for the most horrible CGI and animation. It passed American Sniper by miles in my book for pathetic attempts.

I’d just love to know how they would drop 15 tons of weight from it? 🤔

Strykers seem to have a habit of doing that.

Turret uses regenerative braking. Friction caused by the turret slowing down gets converted into electricity that then recharges a battery. Formula 1 cars use something similar - KERS/ERS.That’s actually pretty damn cool

That’s really bad. I don’t see how you can fuck up a CGI vehicle like that.

Depends on how you define difficulties. In general yes the tanks are always difficult. This is a result of never being to do actual services on the tanks due to time constraints. As far as engine/transmission it all just depends man. Our engine actually blew during this field problem, alot of it just comes down to engine age and luck. I think the Brigade as whole blew at least 10 packs during that rotation as a whole.
You must have been double fucked in that situation then. I’m guessing replacement engines aren’t just on hand.

What does it’s Soft Kill capabilities consist of?

Does anyone have any good documentation on the M4A6 and it’s engines?

The successor of the French VAB APC fleet will be devided into two segments :
- the heavy one will be outfitted by the Griffon VBMR,
- the light one (17t) will be outfitted by the Serval VBMR-L.
The first mockup of the Serval :

I like the approach angle of .7 centimeters.

Ahh that’s right. I saw the front mudguards and driving lights and thought M41A1, even though the driving lights are mounted on the upper glacius plate for the Walker Bulldog.

Does anyone have any sources talking about the reliability of the Leclerc’s V8X-1500 engine? I’ve read supposed claims without sources stating they had horrendous reliability in their early variants.
