Drone_Fragger posted:And thats even assuming that a working 115mm shell fired from an t55 can penetrate an active defence system on a modern ifv. I mean the 100mm on the T-55 did have APFSDS rounds and could probably punch through the sides or rear of a modern tank and I don't think any of the western tanks being sent have any active protection systems ( and even if they did they're more tailored for protection against ATGMs and RPGs anyway). It'd also be more than enough to gently caress up any APC or IFV. But the main issue is that the pictured are unmodernized T-54/T-55Bs. Like not even the 80s modernized T-55AM/AMVs. The real question is if they'll be able to hit anything since they don't have laser rangefinders or even passive night vision so have fun trying to hit something at a kilometer plus with a sight and stadiametric rangefinder especially at night. Can't use the gun fired ATGMs they developed either (which they would have a bunch on since the BMP-3 uses the same missile).

numptyboy posted:They will need sitting ducks for artillery I think too. It may just be to provide something to units who lost all their proper artillery and need something to lob shells at that town they have been trying to take for eight months. Nothing relevant is actually hit but at least the illusion is there of the enemy being attacked. Whenever the Russians do something like this it's graft, a Potemkin solution or usually both.

https://twitter.com/ChrisO_wiki/status/1638449754324586499 Chris_O with another excellent thread, detailing the experiences of a conscript from Tatarstan who was part of the Alga volunteer battalion that attacked Vuhledar. The government was supposed to pay for their equipment but the soldier declares he had to buy a lot of his own, and that heavy equipment that his unit got either didn't arrive or broke down altogether instead. Drones, thermal imaging, and heavy fire support didn't help their case either. The losses of the disastrous attack amounted, according to relatives of the soldiers, up to two entire companies of men. And now the survivors are facing charges of criminal desertion among other things.  for combat footage with no gore and POWs

poverty goat posted:have any of these antiques actually showed up at the front or are they just being used as artillery until their barrels give out or whatever? T-62:s were initially deployed as artillery, but have now been seen widely used as front-line units. Russian T-54/55:s have no arrived in Ukraine yet. I believe Ukraine received some modernized ones, iirc from Slovenia?

CeeJee posted:It may just be to provide something to units who lost all their proper artillery and need something to lob shells at that town they have been trying to take for eight months. 62s and 55s are pretty bad as indirect fire weapons at best. The 62s were already notorious for breaking down at the drop of a hat during the Kherson offensive as well. It's basically a Potemkin solution for lack of any other options, as Uralvagonzavod is lucky if they can produce 20-30 new hulls per year and reactivate twice the upper limit in one month.

Russia trying to destabilize Ukraine’s future economy with an unmanageable surplus of rubble and weapons grade scrap metal. Do they genuinely not have any ultra top secret Cold War research lab prototype doom weapons they can unlock to save a little face? Like a tank that transforms into a giant fist or funky shaped plane that generates concussive shockwaves? Or did all that stuff get handed over to the mob for yacht money?

shadow puppet of a posted:Russia trying to destabilize Ukraine’s future economy with an unmanageable surplus of rubble and weapons grade scrap metal. Pretty much. Even much of the cosmoline that was supposed to keep the AKs and other small arms in fine fettle got stolen and sold. The money that was supposed to build proper warehouses for artillery shells got stolen and sold, so now they're (at least half of them) rusty and falling apart. All the working tanks got cannibalized for either spares or to sell the spares. At this point there's nothing left.

Dwesa posted:They have secret superweapons, for example nuclear-powered cruise missile Burevestnik with unpredictable trajectory that managed to spill radioactive material into White Sea when it crashed And then went critical when they brought it out of the sea because nobody thought to disable the reactor before taking it out of the water, irradiated and killed a couple of the recovery engineers.

This may be an urban legend, but it is said that Seagal shat a man out cold from 30' distance at the stage of Under Siege 2. It is unconfirmed whether this was on purpose, but he did 360 no hands no scope clock a stuntman smack in the forehead rendering the man unconscious. Turds of steel.
