Even if those ancient tanks *could* be modernised, what do you think the chances are of Russia having the necessary kit just lying around waiting to be applied to tank?

I wonder just how bad in condition the engines are on those T-54/55s. I'd imagine it's like those videos of folks hauling a T-34 out of a bog and starting it up for the first time in 70 years. Also, just LOL at that T-54/55 orgy

There was also the case of the one T-62 they found in Kherson that had, no joke, rubber stuffed into the ERA blocks.

In for OHSA chat. I was involved for a time with the WR Grace trial back in the early ‘00’s. Lots of other interesting stuff to be learned outside of workplace safety (the feds knew asbestos was no beuno and didn’t bother to tell anyone for like a decade, the fastest way to lose a case is for a federal judge to find out the ADA was giving gifts and wining and dining their lead prosecution witness) There was a large amount of time spent before and during trial going over how agonizingly difficult it was to get any of those 50-70’s era miners to take any precautions whatsoever. Please wear PPE: Nope Please don’t wear your mining clothes home: No can do boss I’m begging you, take a shower before you go home: real men don’t bathe Don’t smoke while working: How bout I smoke this cig while snorting a line of vermiculite?

NERA, Non-explosive reactive armor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-explosive_reactive_armor Lots of the early pics from the war were that. It's a legit armor, even if not as effective as explosive materials. The rubber serves to dampen the shockwave.

I'm much more serious about PPE now- still controlled recklessness, but I take more care now. I am zealous with others, though.

zone posted:Wait that really was legitimate reactive armor? Learn something new every day. Yup, the reason rubber armor exists is because ERA is lethal to squishies within about 15-20 yds, and can't take multiple hits. (you really don't want to be within 20 yds of a tank getting hit with an AT weapon or a tank round anyways, but i digress)

This guy realizes that anything they have left now is no match for the modern or modernized tanks the Ukrainian military will be receiving.

Those things are NOT heavily armored. The good part is they share the good crew ergonomics of Leo 2 as well as a decent sights / FCS (I think 1a5 has a variant of 2a4 EMES primary sight combined with the PERI for TC) which makes them absolute glass cannons against t55/t62

If my martial art relied on guys agreeing to let me throw them to hone my technique instead of actually throwing a punch and figuring out how to react to that, I would emphasize not actually getting in a fight too
