Why does the US refuse to look into the future? Why is the US still stuck in desert storm?

Well yes the janny keeps deleting them for no reason

Because the old shits running the game are still stuck in Desert Storm, simple as
>they don't believe in APS
>they don't believe in drones fucking up tanks
>they don't believe in DIRCM, not even for planes
>they don't believe artillery in this day and age can lob shells right on a tank's roof
>they believe the worst an Abrams will ever face are shitty t-55s and Ahmed's RPG
Abrams X is a step in the right direction that actually wants to bring new things to the table but AFAIK it's just a technology demonstrator with a plastic turret

NTA, but he posts about weapons while most of you do not.

I actually want to read and discuss about Chinese weapons and military hardware here but looks like most of /k/ missed a few boards and only post racist crap.

>>64063221
No you don't, nigger

>>64063205
Because those assholes dug the hole deep enough for no one to replace them.
The latest upgrade programs for the Abrams were made to counter shitty RPGs which by the way the basic bitch M1A1 did very well.

lol, lmao even

Abrams do have APS, though. Wikipedia reports that by 2021, 4 brigades were fitted with Trophy.

>>64063186
>no reason
spamming and shilling is against the rules retard

>>64063221
Very based. I can post and discuss Chinese military stuff all day if you want.
>>64063227
Currently serving ZTZ-99 units feature a laser APS, originally designed to operate in passive mode (something illuminates the tank with laser and the APS blinds it). The new iterations feature a new LDIRCM APS that actively looks for drones and blinds them but it also looks for other tanks to not just blind them but fry their optics.

The Type 99A needs an upgrade badly, with cope-cage, add-on-armor and APS, because in the end I still kind of dont trust this new tank that apparently is light weight as fuck and only has a 105mm gun.

>>64063265
>ldircm on a tank
this is the kind of cool shit that abrams won't get in a million years

>>64063280
*the PLA doesnt trust

The APS in question for the 99A

>>64063280
The point of this new light MBT is to operate within China's mountainous regions.
Also BTA2 105mm is similar in penetration numbers to the DTC10-125

>>64063302
I dont think the Indians pose that much of a ground threat to China in Tibet. Or India posing any threat at all kek.

Methinks these new tanks are the mechanized core of China's future expeditionary groups, since they are apparently produced in a modular fashion for easy strip down and air transport.

>>64063175 (OP)
So they copied the thermal cape of the T-90M.
Implessive

>>64063351
AFAIK a lot of weight was saved by giving this new tank a hybrid powerplant.

>>64063379
It's just a blanket to cover the turret from indiscreet eyes

>>64063379
russian subhumans copied the SAAB Barracuda design and couldn't make it work

>>64063380
Makes sense for China, since China is basically an electrified economy and the less you depend on oil the better. Makes the american mald to no end that even if the US cuts the Malacca Strait, China isnt using that much oil these days anyways and those Xinjiang fields are more than enough for whatever is left.

>>64063412
The 105mm is the light MBT. There is this other MBT that features what looks like a 125mm gun (could be 130 since the PLA has been experimenting with different guns for quite a while) and is visibly much more armored

>>64063221
It's fine talking about chinese weapons but posters like OP always include a snide remark about the US so there can never be a good faith discussion.

wtf, will we see them in the parade?

>>64063520
Board is only slow because jannies keep deleting and banning stuff that doesnt agree with israeli talking points.

old /k/ regularily used to have threads that only lasted less than a day and had 300+ posts.

Instead we have fed shit and military enlistment propaganda threads since the Ukraine War. Like, literally this board has become reddit.

Really wonder how many of those trannies that Sharty doxxed were /k/ jannies.

wait until 2029

>>64063549
The september one for VJ day
The one where Trump and Putin will be invited to lmao.
There is a lot of new shit that has been confirmed, even with what we can see today.

DF-27 related.

>>64063520
I don't make a dozen threads a day in fact I haven't posted since last week

>Why does the US refuse to look into the future? Why is the US still stuck in desert storm?

Because the US MIC has a very successfull business model. The last thing the owner of a successfull business model wants is disruptive foreign technological innovation that makes it obsolete. Thats all.

>>64063545
To be perfectly honest, Reddit is less censored than /k/ when it comes to combat footage and discussing the war.

A lot of speculation than actual performance for chinkshit threads

Because we're winning against everyone in the world right now as it is? All nations have effectively bent the knee, Russia will cease to exist as an independent polity in the next decade, China will cease to exist in the next three decades, and then America just has to sit back and laugh while they control the world reserve currency for the next thousand years.

China needs light vehicles for island hoping, the US was building a light tank for island hoping then the current admin killed it after China cut off rare earths and before Trump told Lai Ching-te he isn't welcome in the US.

>>64064275
You pay people to shill on a dying image board. That doesn't exactly project much strength.

>>64063175 (OP)
Probably because being able to field equipment equivalent to what American was using during Desert Storm is still beyond the abilities of any other country. DS was basically the first war where space was a theater. A massive 3 day air/space campaign created total air dominance, and even when the air support was unavailable, US armor shredded the best equipment that the USSR was willing to export with ludicrous K/D ratios. A stomping so bad that to this day, third worlders whine that the highway of death was a war crime. Test-tube-gub-gub-snailmen are acting like there would be meaningful amounts of drone warfare against armor after the sort of aerospace campaign that the US can wage in 2025. They just don't get it.

The F16 is a great example too. This thing was first fielded in 19 fucking 76. 7 years after Apollo 11. By this time next year, this plane will have been on the scene for 50 YEARS. FIFTY. FIVE ZERO. By any comparison to other American hardware its a dinosaur, but yet, the promise of transfers of F16s to Ukraine was enough to make Putin scream and cry on national television about how unfair it all was that poor innocent Russian aviators have to go up against a FIFTY YEAR OLD US design.

>>64064265
The Chinese will probably try to go down swinging, unfortunately. Russia is just so unbelievably doomed. The sanctions aren't going to go away once the war ends and Europe is writing them out of their energy mix. They were staring down population collapse even before they started the meat grinder war. Their tech education sector imploded with the USSR. Their only path forward is as a semi-pariah state the US keeps on life support to wield against the Chinese.

>>64063191
To be fair, if the Air Force is doing its job drones and artillery shouldn't be a problem by the time the tanks are rolling by.

>>64063175 (OP)
This has a 105mm gun right? What does this offer over the VT5? Does it weigh more or less?

>>64063221
Make a Chinese Wumao weapons general and talk about your Chinese Wumao weapons we don't need 16 threads talking about how Chinese weapons are better than western weapons when most Chinese weapons threads get deleted or archived pretty quickly.

>>64066160
>What does this offer over the VT5
it seems to have a crew of 2 if the turret is unmanned, The Type 15 was a rather conventional design with 3 man crew and autoloader to replace a really basic light tank.
Besides a similar chassis but with modular armor and decent sensors for the driver.

There's no public specs.

>>64066178
