Also I'd recommend(not really) going onto the various full on nazi forums, like 4chan/stormfront etc. Plenty of them arguing that Jews aren't a problem anymore since they isolated themselves in Israel. They're seen as a partner in the quest to dominate the globe(akin to how Japan was to the Third Reich even though they were Asian). Lots of arguments about how Jews are helping keeping the Muslims tamed etc. It's disgusting and shouldn't be surprising.

As I said, they prioritized the modernization of their other tanks because it was simply more cost efficient. The t-14 exists, but they shifted budget priorities, probably because of the Donbass conflict.
The T-14 exists? Yeah that's about the best thing you can say about it.

The most modern tank that Russia has in quantity is the T-90 and that is pretty much an upgrade of T-72. It can't even use the modern ammo that was developed for the T-14 because of dimensions. Look what happened during the Gulf War when Iraq used T-72s against Abrams tanks. The Abrams platform might only be 10 years younger than the T-72 but the US has poured obscene amounts of resources into keeping it competitive. Now you are saying the modernization of tanks is more cost efficient? Russia is "modernizing" T-62s. In all fairness putting a thermal sight on to a T-62 isn't that bad of an idea but it won't do poo poo making the tank more survivable against Leopard 2, Challenger 2, Javelins and NLAWs. Russia can't make competitive modern military equipment and you trying to pretend otherwise is loving bizarre.

you're trying to act knowledgeable about tanks but comparing the export T-72s used in Iraq with the T-72B3s and newer that are most of the ones being used by Russia now is like saying that the M1A2 Abrams is poo poo because the original M1 was widely disparaged

Also Piergos are fine there is pretty clear overlap with Vareniki. At least for me, it is difficult to have a hardened opinion about either, I mean they are dumplings.

Well the difference is in the name, varenik is boiled/steamed so it does have like a soft white dough like a dumpling.

Perog is baked and has a brownish a crust more like a pie.

Yeah, I guess you haven’t read this thread but literally all of that has been covered from every angle before. I suggest starting from the beginning and typing t-72 in the thread search.

The t-90m is a competitive tank and the T-72BM3 is a very different variant than stripped down Ural using steel cored ammo from the 1960s. Also, yes, the Russians have new ammo that can deal with Western armor and everyone has got issues with ATGMs.

Case and point. Multiple generations of failure in shipbuilding because of high tech grift in the MIC. Now the people on top are terrorized of the idea that chinas navy has caught up in a decade after the US had over half a century of lead and dominance.

It is not just the navy. Scratch at the veneer on the surface and you'll find every component has stories like this

Let’s be honest, it isn’t really about Putin, it is about the Russian people themselves and a lot of posters have been making that quite explicit. I mean this thread doesn’t even like Putin (surprise) but it isn’t really about him and the relationship between the US and Russians as well as the rest of the former Soviet Union.

——

Taking the heights around Donetsk are easier said than done but certainly it would create a weak point in the Ukrainian line that may setup larger operations in the south. The AFU really doesn’t want to be in a situation where they are forced to give up their last of their most secure fortifications.
