there a bunch of weirder cases of non-information moving faster than light though. motherfuckin phase velocities

tbh I can move information faster than light but it's really really hard and I don't like doing it unless I need to and I need the next day off paid

It's what... 20% of what Ukraine had in total pre war and pre all the other tanks and things it was already given and also lost? About 2 months supply of tanks, I think.

I hope those EU paypigs are ready to hand over the rest of their tanks in due course. We'll asset strip them all down to bicycle brigades before 2024, which is still more than they deserve.

pretty sure the leopard 2 and export m1/m1a2 have similar frontal RHA values for practical purposes. if they are close enough that they are getting shot at with 30/40mm apfsds or rpg-7s there are a million ways they have hosed up and both might have parts like the turret ring, cupola, etc that can get penetrated frontally. although again, if they're that close to people who can shoot back with those weapons they have hosed up to the extent where the couple hundred mm of RHA equivalence differences between them does not matter

and if they are farther away they're both vulnerable from the front/top to atgms and everything else

i think ff shared a bunch of stuff on this already and in a clearer, more credible way but the way tanks are used matter way more than their individual characteristics or matchups

Article is referring to the Leopard 1s, not the Leopard 2s.

edit:

quote:

Berlin announced on Tuesday that Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark would supply Ukraine with up to 178 older-generation Leopard 1 tanks to help Kyiv defend itself against Russian aggression.

I think Pistorius is doing that tourist picture thing where he stands much closer to the camera and Ukraine has unleashed a more powerful Ogre than that other Ogre politician.

Yeah, a Leopard 1 is about as well protected as a AMX-30 and L7 doesn't seem to have a reliable source of HE ammo.

did france ever send over any of their panhards? those would be more useful than the leopards considering that france actually makes ammo for them. probably better armored too.

Crumpled business trousers that are too long worn over army boots that don't have a scuff on them.
