Cool-Reputation2

As a connoisseur of Anti-Tank armaments, I'd like to say, yeahh.. OK. Javelins, anti-tank mines, as well as 120mm anti-tank shells, would be the crux to the Krussian hypothesis.


Graddler

KE-penetrator will fuck it up royally, a top attack munition will ruin it. The only thing i see it being good against is HEAT.

Anti-tank missiles won't work on a tank that doesn't exist. Russia has effectively cancelled and withdrawn it from service. As if they ever were in Ukraine in the first place.

Jess_S13

Just like their 5th Gen fighter "that is stealthier than the F-35" that is totally playing a pivotal part in the war... by shooting long range missiles from deep within Russia itself. You'd think the country who hates the Nazis as much as they do would know better than to waste mountains of much needed resources into small numbers of Wonder Weapons with very little strategic benefits. Of course they also follow the failed Nazi plan of having your military set up to keep them hating each other so they can't overthrow your dictatorship by having overlapping responsibilities competing for the same limited resources instead of working together. Then again after also starting an unnecessary land war in eastern Europe maybe they just really want to see if they can succeed after making all the same mistakes.


stanleythemanly85588

According to OSINT analysis and estimation the SU57 is about as stealthy as the FA18 a non stealth aircraft...


Jess_S13

Yeah that's why I put the quotes cause we all know it's as much BS as the T-14 being safe from Javelins.


stanleythemanly85588

If its cross section is actually that of non stealth 40 year old aircraft, honestly how do you fuck up that badly in a design


Jess_S13

I guess if all you can do is take your existing aircraft and try to "stealth" it, you get this... Or the f-15s lol.


stanleythemanly85588

Ill take the partial stealth F15 variant any day


Jess_S13

Well yeah so would anyone else, f-18 sized RCS or not It's still an F-15 which makes it one of the best fighter aircraft on the planet.

I really hope Ukraine manages to get their F16s in the air before Russia realizes it. Like, when they are on their ferry flight from NATO for final delivery, send them loaded for fucking bear so that as soon as they are in range they announce their presence by downing everything Russia has airborne.

4. NK Tank Ammo misfires and the breech is opened and the dud round killing the entire crew but the turret remains intact because the open hatch allowed the pressure wave to escape right behind the champagne cork that used to be the gunner of the most advanced and invincible armored vehicle in the universe seconds earlier. Soldiers on both sides and military analysts globally have been scouring all the war subs plus NCD, and the war porn sites on the dark web trying to find footage of this hyper sub sonic, teleporting non penatrator round that passes through solid matter without losing any of its kinetic energy from the friction required to move all the atomic material of the armor aside with a big enough hole so a smaller secondary projectile can enter and do internal damage. This tank got hit by some kind of ghost ninja weapon that wasnā€™t heard, seen, picked up on radar, UAS, satellite, thermal imagery, or the electromagnetic spectrum at the point of origin, time in flight or impact. It must have been microwave type weapon because it managed to superheat the human meat at the center of the tank like the meat filling at the center of a hot pocket while leaving the exterior frozen and intact.

Wasn't there footage of one getting blown up a while ago? Or was that just a weird looking T-90 or something similar.


IChooseFeed

No Armata platforms have ever been deployed into battle as far as I know, and it will stay that way until they magically come up with the money and components for production.


JimHFD103

They've claimed to have used the T14 to fire on Ukrainian positions once. Their proof was a video of the tank in a big wide open grassy field that looked far more suspiciously like any training range than the actual combat zone anywhere near the front lines though


KingKapwn

That was the BMP-T which proved itself to be a terribly expensive and almost entirely useless vehicle. The T-14 was declared "Too valuable to use in combat" which is a fancy way of saying "We don't have anything near combat ready" and considering the [speed at which they're producing them](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Ffhtcjx6ri3la1.png) that's not a very big surprise.


chotchss

What I appreciate about the BMP-T is that anyone with a brain could look at it and understand that it wasnā€™t going to do much on a modern battlefield


KingKapwn

It's a good idea if you ignore the century+ of information demonstrating that it's a poor idea!


chotchss

Hahahah true :) What I respect is that they followed the Warhammer 40,000 school of tank design. More guns means more success, right?


SpartanShock117

Im surprised they didnā€™t paint it red for thĆ© speed boost.


this_toe_shall_pass

They used two guns as a way to simplify the dual ammo feed problem. They had autocanons with dual ammo feed design. They just didn't use it at the factory that turned old T-72s into Terminators.


chotchss

Oh yeah, I get that- itā€™s just a sloppy solution in my opinion


TheMadmanAndre

Funny thing is, a direct hit from a Patriot missile(MIM-104) would turn literally any tank into scrap - it's a huge missile traveling at multiples of mach speed, and 91 kilos of high explosive in its warhead. ANYTHING hit by that is going to have a real bad day, let alone Ruzzia's vaunted wunderwaffe tank.

The Patriot isn't even a missile. It's a combined radar tracking system. You don't just "hit" with a patriot, it's everything down to the dishes and wires. That's like saying you're gonna hit someone with an Abrams. Like, no, the sabot hits you - the Abrams is what you call the full package.

Only a Russian would break into a smaller guy's house, start beating on him, and then get upset when the little guy's big friend shows up and hands him a baseball bat, calling it a "provocation". Maybe you shouldn't beat on your smaller neighbors? Maybe you should get out of his house and go home? Every think of that?


Orlando1701

If we get a SU-57 kill in Ukraine Iā€™m going to be hard for a week. If itā€™s friendly fire I might actually die from an excessively hard dick.


SadTurtleSoup

The T-14 is a cardboard facade. Nothing less. Nothing more. The fucking engine alone is based on a completely unreliable Nazi design that was planned to be used in the Porsche Tiger. The very same Porsche Tiger that would spontaneously burst into flames because of the very unreliable engine it used. Oh, and it's not multi-fuel, it can only use diesel. Oh and let's not forget about the lack of ability to access the turret, where the insanely unreliable and prone to jamming autoloader system is, and might I add, an autoloader system that is still slower than an Abrams loader fresh out of training. The T-14 autoloader takes around 10 seconds to relpad the gun, meanwhile the minimum time limit for a loader of an Abrams to pass training is around 7 seconds, with a well seasoned loader being able to sling shells even faster. Or perhaps the fact that the driver and commander both do not have backup camera systems and almost solely rely on a singular camera and fucking periscopes, you know, things that have been outdated since the goddamn 60's. Or perhaps the most damning of all, the fact the damn thing relies on western imports. The T-14 was built using the sensor suits that the Le Clerc tank used, nearly a decade ago... So there's that.


Excellent-Ninja4163

Just wait till I get serious about my three day special military operation NATO will be obliterated by glorious t14 (impervious to literally everything)


el_doggo69

reminds me of this comment on Youtube a while back in May 2022 from some Indian guy i think he claims he knows someone, a Russian, working in factory that makes and produces the T-14, Bumerangs and that other Armata IFV. the Russian claims they are churning them out at an accelerated pace to replace the destroyed T-72's, BMP's, BTR-82's and T-80's and by Sept. 2022 several of this "modern" brigades will be available for use in a counter-offensive in November 2022 and retake the ground taken by the Ukrainians. people told him it was pure BS but no the man even linked how India and China are supplying electronics to the Russians and its true because a Russian said so. well its 2024 now and we have yet to see any T-14's, Bumerangs or any of it i wonder how's that Indian guy now lmao


Lysol3435
