Never though i would say this but uh.
chad T-55 vs virgin T-72
LMAO… what's next?, the mummies of the ww2 veterans?
Only useful as mobile artillery for infantry
They will use it for ambushing.
Putin, laughing stock……
The T54/55 series has 3 things going for it. First any mechanic who understands Suck,Squeeze,Bang,Blow and is good with a welder can keep it going. Second with the numbers produced lots of tanks to steal spare parts from. Last if all your enemy has is a machine gun it's good enough. Will it stand up to todays anti tank weapons is another question.
They are State of The Art… From 1950s
You are all wrong. T 54. – 55 will not be used in tank to tank battles. No tank need to go where the Western tanks and weapons are. They will go where they are least expected where there are no enemies or or only infantry and logistics. Russia is not Poland where the polish went to fight German tanks on horse back.
The human and mechanized wave-upon-wave warfare strategy won't cut it for Putin. His Soviet-era tanks are nothing compared to modern armor.
More like Putin is recycling these tanks, because NATO weapons can wipe them out without any tanks
Quantity has a quality of it's own and 2000 tanks can fire alot of shells. They are armoured mobile large caliber weapons that can cause alot of damage. They're being retrofitted with additional armour packages.
Be in as much danger from blowing up breaches as you would with enemy return fire, yikes. There is a reason you see people in the middle east that use these old tanks, choose to fire them via outside with a pull cord like arty pieces…..not in the heat of combat.
Ahh, it's already time to spring cleaning again
is russia now jade broke ?
T- 54 && T-55 vs Challenger (Delepted Uranium). who is win ?
It's like watching the fall of the third Reich.
How many T-34 they have left in storage ?
if they land a hit at the base of the barrel, tracks – it could still render the enemy MBT useless. Against APCs, SPGs, trucks or fortifications they are still lethal
There is know such thing as MODERN in the Russian Military
What Azov sowed Ukraine reaps now.
Those T54s will be just fine with the BTR-50s.
Still waite for T-32….and Then horses
Smart for defensive positions. Use em if you got em!
there great for defence
they are going to the militias forming in donbas region, pro russian are a plenty there and we hear 0 about it
lol the lies in this war are huge, like nazi germany huge.
makes u wonder who the real good guys are here
They are lighter so less will get stuck in Ukrainian mud – unlike the heavy Leopard2!
Well, this antique should be enough
I’m not surprised. Russia is on it’s knees begging China for help. Putin will go to any low to attempt to salvage his reputation, even begging.
I don't care how old they are. They're armored behemoths that fire massive tank rounds and the Russians have hundreds of them. At minimum, they can make great defensive gun emplacements.
This tanks perhaps serve as moblie artlilery..it's old..but can kill..
These tanks may be old but swarms of these will overwhelm Ukraine defenses. While they are no match for modern tanks, they can easily kill Bradleys or any other vehicle.
Next, Russia will use swords and arrow
Get them on the way.
You can use tanks as impromptu artillery. This is most likely what they will be using these ancient tanks for.
They are gonna refurbish them into "drone" tanks!
Perhaps, these are meant to be deployed as artillery pieces at a distance from the front lines where armour protection, optics, and speed are less of a concern. Barrels wear out and up to now, russia has been using their more modern tanks as artillery support. This may allow them to reduce the wear on their better tanks.
If could kill you in 1950… It would kill you today. Quantity has a quality all It's own.
Meanwhile Ukraine is receiving leopards and Abrams and challengers Putin should accept he's not gonna win and no one else needs to die not even the Chinese will help him. stay in your own country
