Give /c/NonCredibleDefense a go, not too active, but some real bangers when they come through.

It looks like an ai created it. Looks like a tank if you squint, but look closer and it’s just random bullshit layered over itself

It's a mirrored image of a line of MT-LBs with a crude pillbox on top, or ZU-23-2 AA guns on the back ones. I guess the pillbox is better than those awful turrets?

The poor engineers getting yelled at for not producing enough tanks just decide to build from WW1 blueprints using sheet metal and a lada engine. Probably runs on vodka

Probably runs on vodka

That's the way to guarantee it would never have sufficient fuel.

But it's also a way to guarantee that soldiers and technicians won't mind working on and with it. Just look at the Tu-22

It's an excuse to bring more vodka. "Da, commander. Running on vodka means the fuel will never freeze! because we'll drink it too fast

Is... is the thing in front a ... an MT-LB, with basically a bunch of random crap taped onto it, and because the turret doesnt turn, they took out the gun ... and built what i can only describe as the hobo version of a machine gun pit for a Dshk ... on top of it?

Good fucking god. Hobo-ified MTLB.

EDIT: Derp, I mean MT-LB, originally had a stroke and confused the btr 60 with that.

I think that's a few pallets strapped down with some roofing and filled with filler foam

Don't you mean "reactive armor"?

(Lulz. It'll react to an RPG in the same way a sheet of paper reacts to a bullet.)

huh, so the rubber+wood applique armour i saw on another mtlb wasn't a one off.

Stalemating against a country with a fifth of your population that you invaded for the pride of your fascist dictator and losing more slave soldiers in the first year than America lost in Korea and Vietnam.

Obviously. What else could it be?

Maybe this guy has some curious metrics we all can enjoy, or finally a plan to fit what's going on as an achievement. I'd genuinely like these. Conspiracy theories to enable copium streams are like a kind of a dessert.

Poor us. Dammit.

I could probably parse my own vk groups for them, but it's so much funny to see these takes in english. Especially from those proper immigrants or even locals from other countries when I want to leave this dead land and never return. They are like laughing at me with every their post. I'm not a jealous person or a one seeking for retribution, but I find it's pretty motivating otherwise.

Winning is when your navy is incapable of blockading another country with no navy and you lose 1/5 of your fleet doing so.
