-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
The tanks can be as realiable as can be, but ain't nobody can do smth about the air being full of drones...
They suck anywhere that doesn't have infrastructure to support their 65+ ton heavy asses
I was like, "no fucking way", so I looked it up:
American weight creep. Like the newest Bradleys weight like 30 tons, slightly heavier than a WW2 medium tank and twice as heavy as a BMP (which the Bradley was suppose to be a copy of).
Just like the cars, joke country.
americans' idea of a small vehicle: cadillac eldorado biarritz
Does this mean the US will actually try to create Bolo tanks due to sheer hubris?
Big Gulp Tank
now look at the weight of the NAMER IFV
Heavier than a T-34
Namer is basically a main battle tank with people instead of a gun
Genius tactical design...
heavier than a T90 if I remember correctly
The American on, presumably
i wonder what the carbon footprint of running one of them for a day is
They should have sat on them all and used them in the Kursk offensive primarily on roads instead of having them sink in soft soil across Ukrainian fields where they get wrecked by artillery and drones.
Honestly would've been light-years ahead of the strategy they used
"Are Abrams tanks getting long in the tooth, impractical for actual use, and approaching obsolescence? No, it is the drones that are wrong."
electronic warfare is absolutely a thing
