"Modern" warfare

>>64203991 (OP)
I see the Immortan is getting his war rig ready again

>>64203991 (OP)
Can they rotate the turrets or use optics like this even?

>>64203991 (OP)
I can never tell if these post apocalyptic scenes are an abandoned building near the front or if that's just what a running factory looks like in Russia

>>64203991 (OP)
You see refurbished T-62s.
I see an Imperial crusade to recover lost STCs to produce dark age of sovieticus T-72s.

>>64203991 (OP)
not even rebar?
just mild steel round stock welded in a grid pattern?
grim

>>64203995
>post apocalyptic scenes
You haven't seen enough turd world garages
This is actually uncluttered in comparison

>>64203995
Looks like a rail yard repair depot, there's the room for quite a lot of rolling stock. The roof is on and the lights work though so it might be occupied territory as Russia tends to be Mordor/Africa tier shitholes

>>64204015

pretty sure those are skylights, anon

>>64204022
There's some spotlights up there as well, working electricity is pretty fancy

>>64203994
Ofc not. They are given a handful of HE shells to shoot at the defense lines they are advancing towards.

>>64203995
it is apparent to me that no new heavy industry infrastructure has come online in 30 years there. every single factory or warehouse looks ooollddddd

>>64204030
Why build new infrastructure when you can _say_ you did and build new yacht instead?

>they field tanks. I know they're tanks but they're covered in shit. Something hellish has happened to the world before this war even started.
seriously though. this shit makes this war look post apocalyptic.

>>64203991 (OP)
they honestly look like ukraine just bombed the building they were in and the tanks were covered in debris.

>>64204047
did... did they wrap bundles of wood in metal so they could weld them directly to the chassis?

Zigger, please.

>>64206576
That’s an ancient picture lmao.

>>64206553
why would we stockpile obsolete equipment?

>>64206600
Why would you throw away usable shit when your country isn’t capable of making anymore?

>>64206591
Okay, and? Not like they removed much of anything from it lately. And by lately I mean the last 5-10 years.

>>64206606
>usable shit
Why use or make old shit when your country can produce actually good modern equipment, unlike thirdie shitholes such as the so-called "Russia"?

>why are you throwing away all of your typewriters just because you have laptops and printers now?
>smart men would stockpile all the typewriters as backup for when you run out of laptops!
>ignorant stupid NAFO TROON

>>64206634
I wish they'd stockpile old tech instead of just throwing it away more often

>>64206600
To sell it upcharged to preppers.

Russia's only source of T-62 parts and upgrades is the DPRK, this has been the reality since 1990 or even earlier.

For 30+ years the DPRK has made more tanks than Russia, this is a objective fact.

>>64208690
For the record the DPRK seems have made a very good choice with the T-62 platform, they have taken it to levels unimagined by the original design team.

I am so offended to see T-62s treated this way. So much effort and resources were put into them and this is how they die?

T-62s are like North Korean Soldiers: Something that Russia does not deserve fighting on their behalf.

>>64206687
Which came first?

>>64208727
T-62s have had shit bolted on since Afghanistan.
Khrushchev's antics have outlived him.

>>64203991 (OP)
Actually good camo. I hadn't even noticed there were two tanks in first take. It falls into the junk background so well.

>>64203993
Honestly the scrap cars in Fury Road are more cohesively put together than this.

>>64203993
Truth is stranger than fiction. If someone brought one of these things to one of the Mad Max sets, George Miller would've said that it was a bit much.
These look more like something you'd find in Silent Hill.

>>64208961
>Khrushchev's antics have outlived him.
>Khrushchev
>Absolute rage

The add on turret armor of the T-62 is called Brezhnev's eyebrows for a reason. The man had very impressive eyebrows that he often raised.

>>64209022
>If someone brought one of these things to one of the Mad Max sets
this war is fucking absurd in that regard

>>64209084
Those cunts nicked Barbie's car!

>>64209090
She rides eternal!

>>64209069
he did influence the design of the original tank and history is alot more colorful thanks to that absolute lunatic.

>>64209142
The T-55 and T-62 were the only good tank designs that the USSR ever made.

There is a damn good reason that T-55s never die and that the DPRK uses the T-62 as the base for whatever weird tanks they produce. They are good basic designs.

Everything else that the USSR/Russia makes is garbage. The first thing the DPRK did when they got a example of the T-72M was to throw everything besides the 125mm gun into the trash, the autoloader was the first thing to go.

>>64206553
>they don’t exist
Neither do Russian stockpiles by now given North Korean gibs and Chinese electronics are the only thing keeping the war effort in Ukraine going.

>>64209098
shiny and pink!

>>64209214
Stop that dick waving propaganda BS.

The USA has close to 5000 Abrams hulls in much better storage conditions than Russia. Russia has the 4th or 5th largest number of armored vehicles at best, the DPRK has more armor than Russia..

>>64203991 (OP)
Someone please enlighten me on this vehicle's role. Okay I get that the cage and all the other shit welded to it is to allow it to tank drone hits while crossing no man's land, but if it does, then what? You roll across a Ukie trench with zero ability to traverse your turret or see anything out of the periscope? Are Russians just using turtle tanks as giant bulldozers to deal with barbed wire and shit?

>>64203991 (OP)
>T-62 obr. 2025

>>64209236
Give fire support to the dismounted meatwaveviks or turn around and get the next batch.

Most units from what I hear are experimenting with bike assaults or infiltration on foot rather than the old mobile sheds so I'm not sure how much use they still get out of these these days.

>>64203991 (OP)
T-62A is the first Tier 10 that I unlocked in World Of Tanks. This fucking war, I swear... It's surreal...

>>64205101
That would be cheaper and possibly more effective and less dangerous as shrapnel.
GULAG THIS SON OF A BITCH!

>>64209255
I wonder how much TNT would you need to send a T-72 turret into orbit?

>>64206441
>Лeoнид_Кapцeв
be Leonid Kartsev
chief designer at Uralvagonzavod, basically the Willy Wonka of steel death machines
1950s-60s USSR: everyone flexing nukes, Leonid flexing tank turrets instead
makes the T-54 and T-55, aka the AK-47s of tanks—cheap, everywhere, and guaranteed to show up in any Third World civil war with free AKs and flip-flops
USSR: "Leonid, make tank invincible"
Leonid: "say no more, comrade"
designs T-62 with smoothbore gun
first tank in the world to yeet APFSDS rounds like darts at NATO tin cans
NATO tankers crying in Leopard 1 noises

1960s
US: "We have M60 Patton, very stronk, trust"
Kartsev: "hold my kvass"
T-62 drops in Middle East wars like Soviet Uber Eats
Egyptian and Syrian crews: "can we get training first?"
Soviet advisors: "lol no, good luck"
still manages to scare the crap out of Israel until IDF pulls anime protagonist plot armor

later years
Kartsev keeps pushing weird prototypes—object 140, object 165, object 167, basically the Soviet naming scheme for “hold my beer, comrade” projects
some too spicy for the Politburo, shelved like Stalin’s old friends
but man set the groundwork for T-72, the literal Toyota Corolla of tanks: everywhere, cheap, still running decades later with mismatched panels

Leonid dies 2013
Soviet tankers pour out vodka in his honor
legacy: created more mobile crematoriums for NATO than anyone else in history
meanwhile US designers arguing if cup holders are MIL-SPEC

tl;dr: Leonid Kartsev was the mad lad who made sure when you see grainy desert war footage, there’s a 60% chance the burning wreck is one of his creations, and a 40% chance it just brewed up after being sold at a discount to some guy with a mustache and a coup plan.

>>64206591
Not only is it still there, but last count I think we had 31 or 32 of the same thing (mostly west states)... so with shit I watched get trucked out of Ft. Drum down the way from me obviously headed for such boneyards, it's actually got more and newer stuff.
Oh and it's not rotting, they flush transmissions and pull live wear parts like plane engines and put them on stands.
Which all doesn't matter when we roll Gucci erry time. Suck a dick thirdie.

>>64206606
We can make all that shit. Every part is also somewhere on a John Deere or something, it wouldn't be bespoke production on vodka and prayers.
Like your shithole.

>>64205079
It's "Special Military Operation". The album name is just below the text, "Three Days".
It takes some practice but it's perfectly readable once you get the hang of it.

>>64206670
The US doesn't manage resources that tight. It would be a bonus in a ton of ways, western federal land full of sorted and reclaimed parts in warehouses would be a great WPA project for welfare niggers.
I mean we have a "government going into business" prohibition I'm not sure is common, but we could send armies of useless faggots with tools into junkyards and landfills everywhere with orders to pull, sort, and bin parts; and the program would profit like hell.

>>64208690
Yeah well Norks might be in hell on earth lorded over by a twisted child but by golly they got the can do attitude that could right a battleship! (glorified coastal patrol)

>>64208727
While you are correct that the upgrade package is above and beyond the initial design, what you are looking at is smoke and mirrors for the armor and protection packages. Take a closer look at the cheeks where the smoke launchers are placed, this is just a body kit a few mm thick at best. The "reactive armor" on the front glacis and side skirts is also just a plate, as if it were actual modular ERA, it would have a very telltale vertical line, as well as an opening where this just has a glacis body kit, as the panels would need means to be replaced after taking a hit.
I like the missiles, though. Wire-guided, similar to Bradley.

>>64209297

Nope, all the money goes to supporting the useless. Who are way less useless when the choice is neatly fucking parts this here 77 cadillac or no fucking welfare. Then we fix it so the amount is always divided and every uselesss faggot that starves to death means the remaining pool divides up more Gibs Me Dats.

if these cope cages are effective, why isn't this shit standardized yet?

>>64214210
>Ukrainian modifications were made in dedicated workshops according to clear specs instead
Nah, that's just cope. Ukies just a tiny bit more shit.

>>64214210
Ukraine's technique seems to follow the standard practice by competent militaries of:
Existing vehicle is too lightly armored -> Hillbilly armor field expedient solutions -> Best version of these turned in to kits sent to the front line -> Kits being applied during the manufacturing process

Whereas Russia continues its proud tradition of just slapping stuff together and hoping it works

>>64206670
>most repro flintlock flints nowadays come from the same warehouse in Nepal for this reason.
Have they finally run out of Napoleonic era surplus?

>>64214210
One does not exclude the other. It's a mixture of artisanal "she'll be alright" cobbling something together in a garage, industrial "haha MIC money printer goes brrrr", and typical "hmm, what if I booby trap a doorbell, they can't be that stupid can they?" frontline creativity.

After all, Ukraine is fighting for its very survival. ziggerstan is fighting to keep the kleptocracy going. Slightly different motivation levels.

>>64214210
Everyone does a bit of the 'non-standard' equipment thing as they need to. Course in a wealthy country military the time between roll off the lot $500,000 patrol vehicles and ork battle wagons is longer
But if you're already broke, got a welder and the will to burn a lot of 6018 and 7018 rods, you can go straight to ork battle wagon and don't even bother

>>64212229
The actual footage they took it from was hi def. The DPRK has really good cinematography, creating the industry was one of the ways Il impressed his dad to become successor after finishing the west sea tidal barrier/Nampo dam.

From examining all the footage the turret seems to be a modified Songun turret, the shell over it is to cover the huge amount of wiring for all the sensors and such they stuck all over it. From a few close ups of openings in it the shell is about 20mm thick.

Most maladjusted people on earth, hands down.
I don't know if it's the profession that makes them that way, or if that type of person is drawn to it for some reason.

I've had the misfortune of needing to go to the dentist multiple times a year for most of my life due to a series of accidents, so I've met quite a few, and every single one has been out of wack in some glaringly obvious way.

I remember but a few years ago when the vatniks were arguing about how superior Russian tanks were and posting 1m9np37crkpm2 armor specifications. Now Russians aren’t even prioritizing being able to turn the turret. What happened to the military autists in Russia? Did they all rope themselves out of embarrassment?
