  1. Only 20% think Russia may win though. Most people seems to think the war ends by negotiations, or perhaps goes over to a lowintensity conflict with no end in sight like 2014-2022
  2. Swedish terrain trials with T-72M1, and MT-LB, vs Centurion with US Teledyne Continental diesel engine 750 hp. And PBV 302. Swedish terrain trials in autumn 1993 with T-80U (1250hp Gasturbine) vs Strv 104 (Centurion with US Teledyne Continental diesel engine 750hp) Swedish terrain trials in winter conditions 1993-94 with T-80U (1250hp gasturbine) vs Strv 103C with a Detroit 6V-53T (290 hk) diesel, and a Caterpillar 553 (490 hk) gasturbine. And the above Strv 104 Centurion with a US Dieselengine. Summary of the tests of the T-80U (in English) Report from terrain trials with T-80U – Swedish tank archives (mod16.org)
  3. If the DLC would be about killing Ukrainians, I would understand. But if the campaign is about killing Russian VDV, release it!
  4. Are you sure that it would penetrate the front of a T-64B? The T-72A has a LOS thicknes of 550mm, the B even more. And that is of compositarmor, not RHA. Not that the old Soviet composite was very good, like later western compositearmor, but anyway.
  5. Swedish Commander in chief visit UA units close to the front https://x.com/front_ukrainian/status/1733441607658020874?s=20
  6. Whats funny, is that its probably their own mines they got decimated by
  7. Me to, but the first time I saw them. The the girls had AK 74´s, and a year later they had AK-47´s. But now?? Going with PPSh-41 or whatever thy found in the dump Next time they probably dance with Mosin-nagant. You know Its bad when the army search for guns (for them selfs) at the local stripclub
  8. I think Pantsir aka SA-22 Greyhound what was @Artkin meant?
  9. She did get their most modern available weapon tho! Which means that someone else, got some older things to work with
  10. Could be so? But I still don´t bellive so. There is quite a margin at distance to the right. There is a very flat trajectory on the missile/rocket/shell. The trace of the shell that the prime tank fires the second before impact, looks the same. That one detonates at the same time itself got the hit. I still belive its a blue on blue, but with a happy ending (Nooo, not the happy one you nasty boys thinking of )
  11. If you take a ruler, and line it to the Heat jet-line. There is no out of sight in the clip. Pause the clip at 1:34, and look picture by picture. By 1:35 the hit occours. Freez there and take a ruler, you have free terrain to a very far distance. https://twitter.com/GirkinGirkin/status/1695494020015726875?s=20 Edit: its only on the picture in akd´s post, you don´t see long enough to the top right.
  12. Nope, dont think so. If you draw a straight line forward, along the line of the blast. There is nothing there. No smoke, no blast, nothing that it could been fired from. I´v looked in slowmotion (picture by picture) like 30 times now. It is nothing in the line there. But if you find something, point it out. And I stand corrected.
  13. Even more crazy is, that it looks like the missile came from behind. Detonated at the tank, in the front right side. And the HEAT-jet continued into the wall in front of the road. Probably becaouse the tank is reversing, suddenly stops and starting to go forward again. And by that time, the missile was already launched?
  14. Kadyrovs goat loving Tik Tok battalion, what could they have done to stop the Vodka marsch to Moscow? They only put out TikTok videos where they shoot at traffic lights. And videos, where they pretend to be in combat situations, but are not! They are not the Chechen 110% fighters who opposed the Russians in the Chechen wars. Kadyrovs goatlovers, are Russian army. Nothing else! Exept they dont go to combat, they just talk the talk on Tik Tok, and love goats.
  15. But with 13-46 inch plate, you are only talking about the frontarmour. Artillery don´t care if the wehicle is turned in the direction they are firing from. Most arty kills I´v seen from the war, is from the side. And mostly on BMP/BTR´s. But according to Ukraine soldiers, they lose most of their tanks to artillery to (Now, maybe mines to). And there are lots of weakspots on tanks in the side/back. Particularly on the T-xx tanks. Take this photo of the side front of an T-72B3 Very thin side armor there. And you se the composite front plate armor inside, and that we know the thicknes of. 80 mm on the upper part of the sidearmour of the T-72 hull side. But only 20 mm on the lower part of the side. Thats not even an inch! And thats where the carousel mag is!
