Even if the T-14 is everything they say it is and more they have produced few of them and have so far been afraid to deploy them. Either because they aren't actually battle ready or because it would be too embarrassing for the world to see their fancy supertank die like all the rest.

Plus I think most of the the experienced members of their tank corps are currently helping fertilize sunflowers, and they don't want to issue these to their junior varsity.

You get all of that going and you can do dumb bullshit like sustain a surge in a land locked pariah state in a part of the world where your country is not so popular. We don’t come up short on the logistics game. We’d also crush Russia’s military in a fight. But they have lots of nukes, and by the rules of the game, they’re a fellow superpower. Even if they’re a paper tiger, they’re a paper tiger with a ton of nukes. If the LGM-25 Sentinel, the B-21, and Columbia Class SSBN’s all deliver what they’re supposedly capable of there’s a future where we could maybe possibly “win” with an unfuckingbelievable first strike. But that’s in a world where we get 175-225 B-21’s in the ~$500million per airframe range, and that the ALCM replacement pans out. And that the Sentinels get MIRV’d/MARV’d/HGV’d in the right combination that’s needed. gently caress I got high in the middle of my point and forgot what it was. Edibles hit weird. War bad.

davecrazy posted:https://www.newsweek.com/russia-ukraine-tsaplienko-tank-t-90-1703662 The T-90M is the best tank we've seen appear in this war, but it's not that special. Because the T-90 is just a post-gulf war rebranding of the T-72, you can think of the base T-90 as a T-72B2.5, and the T-90M is very similar in quality to the T-72B3M. We've already seen quite a few T-72B3Ms get blown up. Why not a T-90M as well?

The US has won both large scale conventional wars that it's fought in the post-Cold War era, both times against a Soviet trained and equipped force. Conventional war is easy if you're trained and have advanced technology and logistics. Counter-insurgency, on the other hand, is very, very hard, but we aren't talking about counter-insurgency.

Most people don't realize/care about the distinction between a counterinsurgency and a conventional war. War is war. For those milnerds and like-minded and those who actually have to wage conflicts, there's absolutely a difference. I agree about the large-scale comment. The world basically learned in 1991 that you DO NOT go toe-to-toe with the United States in a set-piece conventional conflict, and that lesson largely holds true today.

You get all of that going and you can do dumb bullshit like sustain a surge in a land locked pariah state in a part of the world where your country is not so popular. This is incorrect, the last surge that happened was GW1 and that did not go smoothly. In the last 30 years there has been a pretty significant degradation in sealift capability. Almost all MARAD hulls are at least 40 years old with some being 50+. The last activation was in 2019 and there were plenty of mechanical failures, MARAD just doesn't have the budget to do any maintenance for the NDRF. This isnt even talking about the bodies, my union currently has 40ish people on vessels looking for a relief. If those vessels are activated there is a good chance we do not have the labor force to fill the jobs or sustain it for 6 months. Companies like Patriot are struggling to get qualified officers on their list so they can get at least someone with a security clearance on board. The vessels and crews are the current cornerstones of US sealift strategy at this time, its going to be an uphill battle to implement it.

Last I read about the T-14, Russia couldn't produce the engines needed for them, much less the high technology. Uralvagonzavod is also apparently going bankrupt, too.

Marshal Prolapse posted:Could you explain how? In theory, a sufficiently overwhelming and sudden nuclear first strike can take out an adversary's ability to respond before they get a chance to fire back. Basically take out enough of the Russians' ability to respond before they respond, so the response is survivable. In practice, this would be such a global catastrophe that it would be hard for anyone involved to claim a win.

Considering the state of the rest of the Russian military's equipment at every level I would be surprised if even 20% of their strategic warheads could successfully detonate.
