trust israelitetin's plan. don't listen to igor strelkov.
french tanks are the best, look that beast
do they even have spare tires? what happens when they lose front and back wheels? so many questions, but not many answers
for many applications the wheels are the better option and the changes certainly are easier than fixing a fuck up track
You can get 10 of these from 1 Abrams' price.
It looks like a hunchbacked dwarf-btr and a flipped frying pan gave birth to this thing
That nigga be mighty cute
good.
fucking kek
You retarded homosexuals do realize that blowout panels are why m1 abrams crews survive a vast majority of the time right? Or would you rather be sitting on top of an exposed ammo carousel?
I realize that you're a homosexual, how bout that??
dat boy be cookin
pffffff pathetic, can't wait to see new batch of webms of these useless toys being btfo
Not immune from the front either it seems
Jesus Christ
cook off is meant to happen retards. The tank is getting destroyed, but at least the crew survives. Can't say the same for soviet tanks
>cook off is meant to happen
I believe what's supposed to happen is that the turret frontal armor doesn't get penetrated in the first place, and if it does, it's not supposed to ignite the ammunition. A controlled cook off is of course the third best option.
you are not even supposed to get hit thats the first point
>the tank getting blown up is INTENTIONAL guise
you’re retarded
It’s not supposed to save the tank but the crew, unlike the russian tankers american ones aren’t known for their high altitude flights
So did the zogbots in the tank survive?
>tank gets hit from the front
>goes all the way through to ammo hold
>instantly incinerates all crew members inside
>I-I-ITS S-S-S-S-UPOSED T-TO DO T-THAT!!
No, it's not. It's supposed to cook off in the event it is hit from the side or back with a missile, like the first video, not in the front. If the ammo cooked off from a frontal attack, the entire crew is dead as the firewall was penetrated.
kino
No surprise. The Abrams is a shit tank that didn't even succeed fighting against sand naggers and goat herders in the middle east. Against a well prepared, modernised army, like Russia's? Where the T-90 is more modern, faster, and has a better main cannon? It's going to tear through ukrops inside like a hot knife through butter, and Americans are still going to pretend that no Abrams has ever been destroyed, despite it happening repeatedly
>Abrams is a shit tank
I wouldn't say shit tank as much as gas guzzler.
kek
abrams is literally on a point and click adventure against t-62s and t-72s, which is all russia uses now
I don't think neither the Challenger, Abrams, Leopards or whatever has the strength to help Ukraine. Javelins, Himars, Baykar did nothing but decelerate their suffering. They are in their what? 7-8 mobilization by now? Who is working in industries? Not good.
Let’s go full retard
9th game changing wunderwaffen incoming while Ukraine conscripts more teenagers at gunpoint lets go putler is finished for real this time
The potentially gamechanging aspect is the quantity. The US has, at least on paper, over 5500 Abrams.
It is going to be SO FUNNY to watch the M1 Abrams getting blown to bits because it can't idle.....so the Zelensky-forces won't be able to ambush with them. They will either sit and be blown to pieces, or they will be on the move...blown to pieces.
Oh...and the M1 has a horrific maintenance requirement that the 'good goys' won't keep up with. So I'm sure Russia will end up with abandoned M1s.
I assume they are only doing this to make Germany look bad and buckle under public pressure. I haven't read any releases from today, but recently the US administration has been hammering on the point that the Abrams will not be ready for combat for months, and require extensive training, while mentioning that they are already familiar with the Leopards that are so close by. So I bet US is doing what we call here up north a "dirty dangle"
>it can’t idle
Wait what
It can idle, but it uses triple the fuel in idle compared to what it burns running at full speed. He is being hyperbolic, but there is some truth to it.
Also idling is horrific on the engine and it is already a piece of shit so as soon as they start breaking down the hohols will just abandon them on the field.
>It can idle, but it uses triple the fuel in idle compared to what it burns running at full speed. He is being hyperbolic, but there is some truth to it.
Modern abramses have a box at the rear, it contains a generator so the tank can sit and camp with all electronics on and engine off. A turbine doesnt have the starting problems that a piston engine can have.
It's got 2vidke speeds "normal" at 750 RPM and tactical at 1300. Normal idle means that it has to spin up to run. Tactical means that it can run immediately. I would think that they only run tactical for like a couple of hours at a time when they are expecting combat
they will just be behind lines and used for the next major counter offensive.
This. Looking forward to all the webm's of exploding abrams. The US of all countries should know that tanks are nothing without proper air support, which Ukraine has absolutely none of.
I think this is all the provocation that Russia needs, hopefully they start nuking shit.
Wait has the abrams been used in any tank on tank warfare yet?
Our government is fucking stupid but would they really let the vulnerabilities of the abrams be exposed in this gay war?
Anon i...
is he ok?
Note the flag. All the desert rats who could fight got wiped out in Desert Storm 1 and 2.
they have been blown up many times in iraq and afghanistan
china, russia and iran are said to have acquired destroyed tanks also
I'm talking about the possibility of them engaging with other current generation tanks though
ah yes I see what you mean, but I was responding to this bit
>let the vulnerabilities of the abrams be exposed
I think it's enough to study the remains of a destroyed abrams. I could be wrong though
that's definitely part of it
seeing how it actually handles different types of engagements is important too
my bad I thought there was something newer
>current generation tanks
You mean the T80 or the T90 which are both from the 1980’s?
Suicide drone the engine and optics, and it's a 65 ton paperweight. Are Russian speaking Ukrainians going to be able to handle English computerized equipment that is vastly different and more complicated than T72's...
>Are Russian speaking Ukrainians going to be able to handle English computerized equipment that is vastly different and more complicated than T72's...
Well, a lot of Europeans can speak English, so there's that
>mfw M1s will have to be manned by Ukrainian camwhores used to flirting in English on the computer all day
It was built with the average mutt zogbot in mind so everything is dumbed down.
It was used to destroy Russian tanks during the Gulf war.
>shitty russian export models manned by primate tier IQ shitskins
And now will go against slightly less shitty domestic models with shitty or no maintenance manned by primate tier IQ ruskies
Best Iraqi tank was just the T-72M1 though. Tanks used by the Russians could potentially be much more difficult opponents.
The T80 which is the most common Russian tank in service is only a slight upgrade though.
I think the common Russian tank is various T-72B variants. And I think even the basic T-80B is better than the T-72M1, for example integrated ATGM.
>/po/naggers who are the most loudest about the war has no fucking clue about the things they scream about
>implies Abrams has not been in any tank vs tank confrontation
>also threads making fun of Bradly’s
>what was the Gulf War
>Medina Ridge
>73 Easting
I hope naggers and spics rape your mothers, holy fuck is /misc/ completely buck broken by Russian shills.
Don't bother. Everyone on here is a military expert when they want to be. They know nothing.
yeah I could have sworn that abrams fucking bodied the iraqis as soon as air dominance had been secured
and it will still get destroyed by atgms before it even gets to battle. cope k cuck go eat some cum brownies again
>what was the Gulf War
>Medina Ridge
>73 Easting
It will be interesting to see them used aginst an opponent with Kornet, Bastion, Ataka, Vikhr, T-72B3M, T-90M, etc, and ubiquitous drone and artillery support
>a bunch of shit from 30 years ago
Lmao loser I bet you still think FLIR is "cutting edge" lololol
Oh yea dude because t72s are so cutting edge too lmao get a grip fucking retard.
>Wait has the abrams been used in any tank on tank warfare yet?
no but Toyota vs tank war Toyota won.
The Toyota truck is the real work horse of modern warfare.
C-can I make one from my corolla?
They are not getting peak Iraq war Abrams with explosive reactive armor and all that shit. They will be vanilla gulf war shit that has been stripped of everything other than the main armaments
Looks like they are being sent just the original M1s which we haven't used since the mid 80s, in the Gulf War we fielded M1A1s
But why though?
>Looks like they are being sent just the original M1s which we haven't used since the mid 80s, in the Gulf War we fielded M1A1s
If they cant tank russian long range AT missiles they will do no better than T-72s.
Necessary we need to phase out the Abrams and like the A-10 I don't think that's going to happen until we see it was really only helpful for killing sandnaggers cheap. Better it happens to ukranian crews now than American ones when it matters.
Pls no.
Hohols are going to drive them one at a time into empty fields like retards where they’ll be drone fodder and /misc/ is gonna spam the webms, make it stop…
>send in the Avrahams goyim
These tank threads should be moved to /k/.
NATO GLOVES ARE COMING OFF
I'm sure the DPR boys will have fun with their new toys
Misc predicted many years ago nato was planning an illegal ground war in belarus and tanks would be the way. Misc is always right.
Whose actually saying they are a supertank? All I'm seeing is Z bros saying they aren't. They are a hell of a lot better than any of the Soviet shit. I'd rather 1 of these than 3 of those clangers that have seen the afghan war. Will probably be game changers if they can get enough massed.
there wont be just m1, there will be a load of other tanks and theyre going to send nato troops. this is literally ww3 retards and you sit here laughing.
fuck you idiots
you wont be laughing when you get drafted to eat cruise missiles you pussies
>nato troops
source?? if i get drafted i will flee to russia, fuck this shithole EU continent
>i will flee to russia
>gets drafted into Russian army instead
Retard.
why would russia draft foreigners?
Mine clearing
You will get drafted by Russia then you retard.
>70-ton abomination with known massive logistical demands
>sent in for updoots
Well how Oryx will count abrams as russian lose now?
M1A?
Lmao RPG-29s have been pushing right through that steel armor for over a decade now...
No they haven't you fucking retard. Export models do not have depleted uranium armor. Stop pulling baseless shit out your ass.
Yeah which is why we saw plenty of steel armor M1s getting btfo by sandnaggers for like 20 years now lmao.
The new shit is RPG-32s but keep thinking they're still running around with PPSH and RPG-7s like Cawadooty you clown.
>people familiar with the matter said
nothing ever happens
sage
imagine putting a jet engine in a tank
The logistical maze of all the different parts for all this hodgepodge of materiel will surely be no biggie for hohol grandpas with Parkinson's from the n+1st pressganging wave to navigate.
Oh nice, the hummer of the tanks. Likely only the 10% is usable. I think to reach Moscow they need a truck convoy with oil tanks behind lol. Wait, wait, WW1 trenches war is over and we will have panzer war again in the spring?
2024 what? When the tactical nukes?
lol. these shitty tanks are falling apart in the desert, now imagine them in a frozen swamp.
