Russian newest tank. Diskuss?
>>25648444
I want to see them mass produced. Maybe we'll see them here in Alaska if Russia get some balls and tries to take it back.

>>25648453
How much did we pay for Alaska again? Like 10$ a square mile?
>>25648460
.02 cents per square mile IIRC. Gimme a second for Google.
>>25648463
.02 cents an acre, according to wiki.
>>25648444
You know, I think the Victory Parade would be quite picturesque at night.
The reflections off the tank from the city lights, it's really mesmerising.
>>25648453
>Russians
>Mass producing anything
Never going to happen.
>>25648444
Putin was right. Russia is under attack by Islamist influences. They are undermining the army. Just look at that Tank; she's clearly converted.
>>25648469
well I had the .02 cents right.
>>25648483
Either way, #rekt.
>>25648444
>T72 stretched to take an extra roadwheel
When will Russians design a new tank?
>>25648444
The hull looks exactly like an Abrams M1A2.
>>25648444
It certainly looks better then the T-72's puny turret.
Full display of a bunch of new Russky vics: http://youtu.be/Xzx2VBen6WQ
Quality is okay, cameraman is of childish though. You can see new tanks, IFVs, APCs and logistics vehicles.
>>25648514
How about Armata having an inhabitable tower for starters?
>>25648555
Which is pretty disappointing. The commander sitting at the top of the turret hatch has always been an essential part of a tank.

Turret confirmed for vaporware
The slate armor really just tells me where to put a kinetic penetrator.
So when will America get a new tonk to dickwave with?
>>25648514

Will the Russians ever design anything new?
>>25648522
>>25648444
Wow that looks nothing like the concept designs or models.
>>25648584
>So when will America get a new tonk to dickwave with?
When Gen Dynamics CEO wants a new yacht/jet/private island/space station
Or when we actually need a new one. Right now the Abrams is fine for what we use it for.
>>25648683
If anything the US actually needs to downgrade and find something cheap that can fill the game between the Stryker and the Abrams.
>>25648444
Gimmick.
>The technology of yesterday, TODAY!!!
>>25648690
Why? The US has THOUSANDS of Abrams it has no need for sitting in the desert or army warehouses. No point spending more money when you can just dig some more tanks out of storage.
A little more about Russian military technology. For example, T-90ms.

The little new born tank is cold anon, so Vlad the dad comes around and puts blankie on the Armata :) I am told that he sometimes even tucks the T 72s into bed and tells them stories about how he killed all the nazis and chechens <3

the armor and gun will be shit too
it's a t-72 on steroids

Technically, the army never formally procured the BTR 90, which was a shame really, the design had potential.

SAM sites will get shrket at the onset of hostilities by tomahawks, PGM's dropped by strike aircraft and SEAD craft. Those eastern bloc air defense systems sure did a lot of good in the middle east
Anything russia attempts to put in the air will be picked up by AWACS instantly because russia cannot into stealth and then BTFO by an AMRAAM before they have time to think about stopping ground attack craft from turning the armatas into flaming hulks

Hitler said the same thing.

yeah, that's right.
A T-72 has a working transmission system, the armata hasn't.

Soviet soldiers hated the crappy Sherman and Ford trucks couldn't handle the Russian winter, kept breaking all the time, crappy trucks too.
We almost lost war because of American equipment but then great Russian engineers made T-34 and we took Berlin.
>>25649180
No, like your. :3
Say "oink-oink".
>>25649188
>he thinks im talking about military vehicles
look up the amount of food the US sent. Look up the number of locomotives sent vs the number the USSR produced
while invaluable, the military equipment was nearly irrelevant compared to the logistical aid. Without US assistance russia would have starved. Without US assistance those 10s of thousands of crappy t-34s they were pumping out would have never been made.

But "oink oink," is in Ukrainian.
>>25649226
And the American flag was raised on the Moon and also has one currently on Mars.
Your Move Ruskie.

The victories in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine are also happening thanks to American money.
So doesn't matter which you side you pump your money, we win regardless.

US to USSR
In total, the US deliveries through Lend-Lease amounted to $11 billion in materials: over 400,000 jeeps and trucks; 12,000 armored vehicles [...] 11,400 aircraft (4,719 of which were Bell P-39 Airacobras)[27] and 1.75 million tons of food.[28]
[...] It has been estimated that American deliveries to the USSR through the Persian Corridor alone were sufficient, by US Army standards, to maintain sixty combat divisions in the line.[29][30]
The United States gave to the Soviet Union from October 1, 1941 to May 31, 1945 the following: 427,284 trucks, 13,303 combat vehicles, 35,170 motorcycles, 2,328 ordnance service vehicles, 2,670,371 tons of petroleum products (gasoline and oil), 4,478,116 tons of foodstuffs (canned meats, sugar, flour, salt, etc.), 1,900 steam locomotives, 66 Diesel locomotives, 9,920 flat cars, 1,000 dump cars, 120 tank cars, and 35 heavy machinery cars The 1947 money value of the supplies and services amounted to about eleven billion dollars.[31]
90% of kerosene was delivered by the US
UK to USSR
Between June 1941 and May 1945 3,000+ Hurricanes were delivered to the USSR along with 4,000+ other aircraft, 5,218 tanks, 5,000+ anti-tank guns, 4,020 ambulances and trucks, 323 machinery trucks, 2,560 bren carriers, 1,721 motorcycles, £1.15bn worth of aircraft engines and 15 million pairs of boots in total 4 million tonnes of war materials including food and medical supplies were delivered. The munitions totaled £308m (not including naval munitions supplied), the food and raw materials totaled £120m in 1946 index. Naval assets supplied included a battleship, 9 destroyers, 4 submarines, 5 mine sweepers, 9 trawler minesweepers, over 600 radar and sonar sets, 41 anti submarine batteries, several hundred naval guns and rocket batteries.
Without the help of the US and UK you fucking russians would have lost the war in 1943

Pick one, Slave. S-500 is the king of Russian vaporware. Even Chinese 5th gen fighters are more substantial.
Can we just agree that the western allies could not have won with out the USSR, and vice versa?
>>25649370
Its almost like it was a group effort or something.
Vatniks will never agree with this though.
>>25649330
Sorry man,but thats a marathon,not a sprint.
Honest question.
Is OP new tank the Armata?
The tank in OP just looks like a bigger T-72, nothing like what we saw of Armata's concept designs and models that have been leaked in recent years. (pic related)
Did they just run out of money or something? How did it go from this? (and official models that even looked like this from Uralvagonzavod) to what is being shown now?
>>25649380
>>25649384
this shit in your picture is someone's
retarded fanart
Ww2 was won by soviet soviets with American food, shoes, and vehicles. Soviets supplied conscripts and vodka.
>>25649378
wow
you must be retarded
>>25649370
Depends how you define "Winning". Without Western Allies, Moscow Falls and Soviet's head is cut off most likely pacifying majority of the Union and causing it to splitter into smaller countries. Germany then turns back around to Western Allies aaannd....
Without Russia Western Allies accept (primarily Britain) German Peace that was offered multiple times and without local staging places US is forced to go along in regards to Germany. Japan still gets fucked though.
The Biggest difference in outcome is a 70 year Difference in Unification of Europe Government wise.
>>25649370
Nah, see it's not the war that's got everyone pissed, it's what happened immediately after.
See, both sides snapped up some territory. The difference is that while the USA helped rebuild Europe into the seat of Western civilization that it'd always been and generally made life awesome in the regions we occupued, everything that Russia grabbed starved for decades because communism is a ducking terrible idea.
Russians, being Russians, can't forget about it, so they won't let the rest of the world forget about it either. That's why we all hate the Russian; they can't come to terms with their own past, so they try to make everyone else suffer with them.
>>25649391
no?
>>25649390
Except it matches the official model used by Uralvagonzavod.
>>25649384
> Is OP new tank the Armata?
Yep
> The tank in OP just looks like a bigger T-72
T-72 and Armata are totaly different

>>25649405

>>25649402
>both sides snapped up some territory.

>>25649393
2deep4u?
Russia's Armata a magnificent piece of GARBAGE. I can see three major engineering flaws alone in the same system at
first glance.
1.A X block? Seriously? Now the timing mechanism for a boxer block style engine is complex enough. If it gets out of time just a SLIGHT bit, the engine will self destruct from with in. It just has to lose or gain the very slight amount of time and its done with in seconds.
2. A 12 cylinder gas turbine super charged 1,500 horse power engine met to propel a 48 ton tank???? Wow this is going to consume copious amounts of fuel to the point where its going to be very limited due to its range I don't care what you do with its PTS. If you recall in history the Germans made the same sort of mistake during the second world war with the tiger tanks.
3.Really? A air cooled cooling system for a TANK that has a GAS 12 CYLINDER engine that is super charged? Uh NO there is not a sufficient cooling system for this sort of a engine doing this sort of work.
Its obvious this is a BAD IDEA that they should have left on the drawing board. When I look at one and three alone they had BETTER HOPE the engines are easy to switch in and out because they WILL obviously spend a great deal of time doing that.
Then there are two other glaring problems that make this concept absolutely idiotic.
First off a tank such as this takes MONEY to mass produce, its not cheap, the Russians are certainly not in economic shape to afford such a thing.
Second off the MBT is fading off into the sunset when it comes to being something that is actually useful on the battlefield. Its a sitting duck to something such as a apache helicopter or a scorpion tactical bomber.
>>25649412
Shhh, I'm being generous for the sake of the argument. And technically we did snap up Japan, but we just weren't fucking slime about it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsAePLKmBfY
This model as of a few weeks ago.
What the fuck tank is this then?
Wasn't the point of Armata that it was a "Universal tank"? That it had both anti-air capabilities and ground?
The tank in the parade features no anti-air capability.
>>25649459
Surprise surprise, Russian R&D publicity is thinly veiled internal propaganda.

>>25649548
Awwww, look guys! The vatnik thinks his shit is better BECAUSE it cooks off at the drop of a hat. How adorable.
>>25649536
Yeah they said that is best vehicle for peacefull times
>>25649422
You have no idea what the flaws of the Tiger were. Main problem was it's armour and the weak(!) engine that was not fit to move the tank at adequate speed.

>>25648444
I don't like its turret. canvas armor is too thin, and visibility is nil due to it having no holes. Also, the color is too bright.
Absolute piece of shit.

The T-14 is a 55ton vehicle and not that much smaller than an Abrams.
>>25649721
>Iraqi tank crews
>Good
>Ever
This shit is nauseating.
>>25649725
Disregard >>25649743, it's even 2 tons heavier than that.
>>25649301
That red star is actualy the new symbol for the Russian armed forces. It looks pretty lame, i agree.
>>25649666
Let's be real here, gookshit is, at the moment, best shit, and once the USA or Germany get around to making a tank with an ETC gun, it'll still be competative.
>>25649708
>I-i-it's not like we can't train competent loaders or something...
A well trained loader loads faster and more intelligently than an autoloader, helps tremendously in maintained center and general operational tasks, and keeps the tank from launching its turret at the drop of a hat.
It's OK though, keep bragging about how Slavs are too hampered by FAS to be trusted with loading a cannon.
>>25649721
You have drawn my attention, foot soldier.
The tank god hears your offerings and demands a response.
>>25649666
>still cant make autoloader
we can, even better than your russian shit loaders and our human loaders are superior to auto loaders because our loaders aren't weak midgets who can't even lift a round in the chamber
>>25649790
Yeah, they're just niggers.
>>25649759
>new red star
>looks pretty lame
>symbol for the Russian armed forces
i can't see a single problem with that
>>25649721
>Tank takes side hits, gives no fucks, continues wrecking face.
What are you trying to point out again?
>>25648477
>angry t34 noises
Gonna laugh when it's unveiled and the turret is a place holder because this shit wasn't ready for the V day parade and Russians will never admit defeat, even when defeated.
>>25649804

this is bait.jpeg
>>25649805
I totaly dont mind a star as the base for a new symbol but how it was done was lame.
An example of how to do it right is the Russian airforce roundel; maintains the historical red star while the blue band turns the star into a Russian flag. Symbolizing the past and present in one. Cheap, effective and looks good on top of that.
>>25649879
my point was that the russia's new army is lame and therefore a lame star as an authentic symbol isn't a bad thing.
they just portray what they are
>>25648806
> daft punk plays
>>25649896
So by that logic, the VVS (Russian airforce) is the most awesome airforce on the planet.
I allways knew it ;^)
>>25650006
haha
Is Armada supposed to have improved gun-launched ATGM capability? Because really, that's the only thing Russian designs have going for them these days.
Can Abrams use LAHAT? I can't remember.
>>25650033
What's the point of LAHAT in the US military? It just takes up ammo space.
>>25649188
The Sherman is a superior tank to the T-34 though, in Korea it would repeatedly inflict heavy casualties on the north with very little in return.
>>25649721
The way they try so spin this video always gets me.
>We shot a bunch of shit at it and lit it on fire
>They eventually bailed out
>Cowards
>>25650117
Like all things Russia. It looks great on paper, but as soon as it it's the real world it's shit.
With the amount of T-34s Russia had and the T-34's advantage, on paper, over the Panzer 3/4. Russia should have dominated the tank warfare k/d ratios.
>>25650058
>>25650033
it can, but you fuck up the barrel
you need also a little reprogramming of the ballistic computer (install)
>>25650058
There really isn't because of US Air dominance, but it would give the Rheinmetall 120mm gun a range of 8 km.
Honestly, Korean Smart Top Attack Munition is better in every way. Same range, but with truely indirect fire capability.
>>25650155
right I mean it's kinda like the Sherman in the basis that it was mass produced and effective in numbers but when you have "equal" forces going toe to toe like in Korea it shows which mass produced tank is best
>>25650179
On paper the late model T-34s should have dominated the Sherman, but in the real world they were pretty much shit.
>>25649298
And how would have Hitler gotten oil? If I remember correctly the Americans and British pushed the nazis out of northern Africa and the ME.
>>25650256
Probably doesn't help any that best Korea was crewing them
>>25650323
Back then North Korea was a lot different from how it is now.
>>25650307
don't forget the bombing of germanys refineries (producing synthetic oil out of ciall) and the bombing of the oilfields in romania
>>25650323
"The limited space not only affected crew performance but turned the T-34 into a deathtrap. A US study from the Korean War (based on the T-34/85 that was roomier than the T-34/76) concluded that due to the limited internal space a penetration by an A/T round usually led to the destruction of the tank and loss of 75% of the crew. In the Sherman the figure was only 18% (1)."
lol
>>25650387
That's what I was looking for haha thanks anon
>>25649096
seems legit
Any word on the exoskeletons the Russians are saying they'll have in 2020?
>>25650622
oh good, more vaporware.
>>25650622
tzzzz, they don't need a exoskeleton
they will have this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp7mM2TP_1A
>>25650628
Hey now, exos are at least commercially viable, hobbyist are building them as well.
The issue is sustainment in field, which if they're going for the tank as an APC, they'll have either spare batteries or charging racks.
But then they'll be tethered to it, and not free roaming.
Any idea on Russia thought for being tethered to the tanks?
>>25650649
Russia can't even make a proper full scale drone, what makes people think they can build an exo-skeleton?
Under development
>>25649339
>Why does every thread with Russia turn into a shitposting competition between russians and ukrainians?
FTFY
>>25649274
Source....
>>25650759
You can literally see the fucking wiki citation notations.
Jesus.
>>25650701
Because I can build one, and built the parts?
Need a lot more money to get the power pack setup and the pneumatic cylinders.
The better question is why the HULK, RHINO, and other US systems are so far behind Cyberdyne and hobbyists, being unable to do powered free walks at a length of time.
Well HULK sort of can I think.
>>25648555

USA should pick up German SMArt 155, get their M109s to throw KSTAM-style fire-and-forget EFPs out to almost 30km.
Current US smart AT 155mm round, M712 Copperhead, needs terminal laser guidance and only has a 16km range. SMArt 115 costs about the same as Excalibur, but with thermal/milimeter-wave radar guidance instead of INS/GPS and two EFP submunitions per shot.
Great way to ensure persistent long range AT strike availability in a SAM-heavy theater, especially when it comes to keeping gunships from eating MANPADs.
>>25650853
Well i was referring to the "other us systems" part.
Big dog can walk for a long time, just gotta keep em gassed.
>>25650928
And they can totes carry jerrycans.
>>25650928
Big dog isn't an exo though.
You'd have a much easier time with making 'bots than exos, since you could fill the torso with batteries, the arms would have integrated weapons, and then you skip it all for big dog and swords.
>>25650387
You are a fucking faggot and you are cherry picking as fuck.
Go kill yourself.
>>25650947
Big dog can go for long distances because it has an engine instead of batteries. Exoskeletons have exactly zero endurance issues until you need a portable power supply.
>>25650999
Oh I know, but its comparing very different things.
Exos and big dog both have their own distinct roles to fill, with big dog more likely to get into its role first.
>>25650999
Well, I should say small, lightweight portable power supply. Big challenge to exist is also the fact that there's tons of space you can't use because there's a human in it.
>>25649157
Implying that the US will have to fight western Europe while simultaneously fighting the slavs. Russia get way more than a bloody nose and a little lost pride if it wants to tango with the yanks
to everyone complaining about the turret looking different when compared to the concept art
turret is covered with tent, and there are probably wooden pillars inside, like this
no wonder it looks huge
>>25649129
>SAM sites will get shrket at the onset of hostilities by tomahawks
even s-300 are claimed to have the ability to shot down tomahawks
>The S-300PMU2 Favorit can engage targets flying from 10 m to 27 km above the surface at a speed of up to 10,000 km/h. It is claimed that it has a kill ratio ranging from 0.8 to 0.93 against aircraft and from 0.8 to 0.98 against Tomahawk-class cruise missiles.
>>25650992
butthurt vatniks itt
>>25651182
The USA has more tomahawks than Russia has S-300s. Even if the S-300 has a success rate of 50 percent, and I doubt that it's that high, Russia still gets crushed.
>>25651021
Yeah, my first idea was based on the skeletonics concept, where you're mostly a "passive" mechanical system. Things like levers, springs, cables and so on, with a more rigid skeleton to distribute the load.
Uh sort of like those boots people wear at cons to seem taller and be able to do backflips with ease on. It was in this month's popular science.
The idea was more for fun sort of stuff, and being able to mount electronics and other things on me, since I can't mount them in me.
And also because pcbs are still not flexible, and I lack the space for a fumehood to make my own.
