The autoloader can fire every 10 seconds. An Abrams crew can fire.. Every 4. NATO tanks are faster.
More Russian tanks also only matter if they ARE comparable. But they're not. For example, the "new engine" is an old Nazi design that was, and is still, famous for breaking down. They use thermal sights! Left over from the French.
Russians die AND they're slower. All glory to the motherland.
You should look up what brain drain means.
Fortunately for them yes? At least they're not dying in ukraine with sunflower seeds in their pockets.
Right!! That's why the invasion of ukraine was so quick! Plan for three days, the planning and coordination they passively understand means it's... Still going. 4 years later.
It's a darn good thing, too, since Russia has only built what, 30 T14s since 2015? Can't rely on something you can't build!
And you're right. Tanks have no place in modern warfare. That's why Russia saber rattles so hard when western nations give or sell tanks to Ukraine, because they're just so useless.
True!! If only they would stop putting that foreigner expertise straight onto the front lines. What a waste.
It's as if you weren't reading what I'm saying.
That aside, roasted sunflower seeds are nice, it's the stereotype of young pigs littering their shells in, eh, every public place where they are consumed, that's a negative one.
Also roasted sunflower seeds are a product of Ukraine and south of Russia mostly, so the stereotype is as suited for Ukrainians as for Russians, perhaps more.
