Videos so you don't have to interact with ziggergram or zigx to see the thing:
I knew something looked off.
The front idler wheel is also too short by the looks of it.
Nobody cares about these optics except braindead ziggers it's just a tank there's tens of thousands of them. If parading around a tank gets their AIDS orc dicks hard then so be it
Who the frick cares about a disabled tank?
A metric frickton have been destroyed in this conflict.

Hoooweee that's a lot.
The scale of this war is unreal. I unironically wish NATO had started it sooner, without nooks and a bit of preparation, Russian unironically would have been gone in a year.
Manpower losses is the really fricked up part here, Russia is really close to having lost more people in this war then US millitary losses in every conflict since and including WW2
Zigger shills. Remember, a knocked out/destroyed/captured Abrams or Leo 2 is a tragedy. A thousand T-72/80/90 turrets achieving low orbit is a statistic.
was that a russian repair, or an ukrainian one?
Can't wait for the parade lol.
I wonder if they'll manage to get the M1 running with some wh40k orc magic by building stuffing some 80s tractor motor inside or whatever.
No chance, that tank was scuttled
There's nothing left of the engine and running gear but ashes and rust
>1000+ russian tanks
>2 western
looks like a fair trade to me
>NOOOO! YOU"RE COPING!!!!
Ok, little guy.
My dude there has been destroyed abrams in Iraq and Yemen, no one gave a shit.
Destroyed turkish Leos in syria, no one gave a shit either
I'm a thirdie too my man, so i know how it feels to want to get a "gotcha" at first worlders, but this ain't the way lol
>Destroyed Abrams in Yemen
Under armored export version operated by sand people
>Destroyed Turkish Leopards
Older 2A4 variants from the 80's, also operated by sand people
>Under armored export version operated by sand people
Saudis have an M1A2 variant. Ukraine has an M1A1 variant.
Saudi's have the M1A2 export version which isn't as good as the U.S. Army M1A2 versions. The M1A2 is in general better than the M1A1 but the version the Ukrainians received was straight from U.S. stocks.
No, it wasn't. It was rebuilt with export armor. That's why it took so fricking long for them to get there.
>rebuilt with export armor
Are you moronic, the armor is built in when they are manufactured, show me some sources
>homie doesn't know what an armor package is
Why are morons so sure of their own moronation?

It's a welded steel box filled with stuff. You can take it apart, change the stuff, and weld it back up again.
Why are you posting about tanks when you haven't even managed to read the wikipedia article? Lurk moar.
You've never worked on ships or heavy equipment, have you? If you have a cutting torch and a welder there's no such thing as "built in."
I'm unironically a heavy equipment operator and mechanic, i just like trolling you guys because you've been shitting up my board for over two years now with your slav bumfight content.
good for you, but stripping down the armor from a tank and replacing it with other armor is completely moronic. the fact that it's an armor downgrade makes even more moronic by power of ten
talk to the department of energy moron they control the export of depleted uranium out of the united states
you are a jobless neet and a fat homosexual living in /misc/
>I'm unironically a heavy equipment operator and mechanic
bro worked with some bulldozers and now he thinks he knows everything about Tanks
>operator and mechanic
You know shit about frick. If you can lean you can clean so get back to work.

Uh huh. Sure you are, Indiana vatBlack person. PS: Your posting style remains distinctive.
The US doesn't export Abrams with the domestic armor packages. Export models are rebuilt to order from stripped hulls; they don't keep any on hand. So it took a year to get them to Ukraine because they had to finish one order (Taiwan? Can't remember) and then get to making them for Ukraine.
No.
As if those tanks are immune to topd down attack rockets or drones.
Get a hold of your feelings anon, those are just fricking tanks designed by a group of whom approx 50% at least are fricking morons. It's not a pinnacle of engineering, both aren't.
The latest n greatest abrams is certainly the pinnacle of MBTs, for whatever that's worth.
I´d be more impressed if they had running russian tanks other than T-34 in moscow parade.
But i guess thats not to be expected from russians anymore.
The timing of parades and diplomacy is such that Putins Pyongyang visit will probably have him flying out to their parade immediately after his.
Prepare for the most brutal mogging of the century.
Didn't they can the parade?
id love to see bmp3s at the parade actually
I havent seen them in a year
>id love to see bmp3s at the parade actually
>I havent seen them in a year
I wonder how many t90s have been captured by Ukraine
>T-90A - 10
>T-90AK - 1
>T-90M - 3
Enough to at one point have separate battalions of captured T-90A and T-80BVM's respectively.
But you know, as Stalin said: one destroyed Leopard is a tragedy, a hundred T-90's - a statistic.
Can't provide specific numbers, but Russia remains Ukraines largest supplier of tanks in this war.
And you still haven't posted any actual government documentation proving that the Ukrainian M1A1's are anything other than genuine U.S. Army M1A1 variants rather than the shit they export to third worlders.
How about you provide some actual documenjtation proving they're genuine M1A1s with non-export armor packages, depsite the whole fricking reason for their late arrival being that they needed to switch the armor. Stop trying to shift the burden of proof, you dishonest fricktard.
why does the armor package prove anything? This tank was captured, not destroyed.
...are you for real?
OP here. I've lost track of whether you're the zigbaiter or he is, but I think you're the non-tard.
Regardless, to spell this shit out for everyone equally:
1. The US upgraded all Abrams hulls in storage to M1A2 'equivalent' or better. This full lore of how this happened is very convoluted and recounting it here would be unreasonably tedious. So I will not be doing that.
The gist, for our purposes, is that the notion of a "gen 3" armor standard served as the benchmark which all M1's had to meet. These upgrades were achieved in different ways on different variants, depending on year and what they were starting from.
2. This process resulted in the near-complete depletion of 'true' M1A1 variants in storage, both for FMS and in storage at Army Prepositioned Stock sites. Most of what remained was tied up in pending sales to Poland. The poland deal is EXTREMELY convoluted, featuring "loaners" of one variant to stopgap until the arrival of another, then to be shipped back, etc...
3. The US had no intention of providing M1's to a foreign ally except through the FMS channel. This is a slow and high-volume approach in which the export model is given its own designation and very carefully tailored feature list.
4. Consequently, the US had no contingency plan for providing less-than-current-milspec M1's for ukraine. That is: there were no spare, non-DU, M1A1 builds lying around to send.
5. To remedy this, certain M1A2* units were outfitted with A1 armor packages. They purportedly retained some of their non-armor A2 features like optics, but this could have been little more than state department sweet talk.
The whole situation confuses and enrages z's, because they lack critical context like knowledge that the DOD doesn't actually dictate final export policy on anything uranium, even if it's their property. The DOE does.
I can't believe this is the next shill talking point. A captured abram.
If task force Z wants to parade around a war trophy that's their business. Not like The Ukrainian's haven't done the same
It's bread & games, my friend.
So German tanks get to parade in front of the Kremlin?
garage54 tier repair
Is there going to be a May Day parade?
It would be a real shame if some plane were to mayday into the square, or a Cessna to land with half a ton of explosives.
Moscow is too well defended for that, especially on Victory Day. Might be a good idea to launch attacks in other Russian areas though
True, there's no way in, around May Day
Another refinery hit would be neat.anything to piss in monkey's soup.
I can't believe brandon and globbohomer did dis
What did Ukraine blow up today? There is an unusual amount of shill post today lol.
One sign of autism is inability to read sentiment and context clues.
Almost certainly a russian one. Yooks have propa repair depots with real parts.
>Yooks have propa repair depots with real parts.
No they don't.
no u
lots of missiles shot at Crimeia and Bryansk is what happened.
I'm actually beginning to think that this isn't anything specific, but rather a generalised ramp up of shilling leading into the parade
Ziggers shilling overtime, I heard that the Crimea bridge is about to go down very soon, is that why?
>"lol hohols are blowing up your precious western technobloat tanks, why don't you stop helping them"
>takes t62s out of storage
>"why are sending weapons to ukraine, don't you believe Russia is weak? Why send weapons?"
>takes out 1950s mine gobblers out of storage
Total Zigger Death
>Leo 2A6 obr. 2024
You laugh now but just wait till they take it back to front to use themself. Woldn't be the first one-of-a-kind sample they send. They might even add some ERA and claim that's ARMATA.
>mighty rassiya will re-use western sissy tank because... because they just will, blyat
With what ammunition lmao
115mm from T-62 will fit. Smekalka wins again, xaxaxa.
>some tanks shoot but cant drive
>some tanks drive but cant shoot
Judging by the wheel its made to drive...
That's actually intelligent. Plug weld, drill to suit then roll. It would not have taken long for any vehicle mechanic with a welder in the field.
Redrilling wheels for different bolt patterns is common. Cannot see if the replacement road wheels are hub piloted (which would make sense for strength) but for display use stud piloted should be sufficient.
usually you need to fill them with oil, you won't do this to them. no way it's going to go far
>Just stop giving ukraine tanks
Why is DU armor treated as some unexportable secret, anyways? The uranium isn't a proliferation risk because it's depleted. China and Russia have DU metallurgy experience. What's the actual export risk?
Why the frick do you think?
My best guess would be Congressional midwits scared of the word uranium
It's just autism, same as the F-22 export ban. Made sense 30 years ago when it was cutting edge, counter productive now.
Institutional inertia
Why would they repair it?
To parade it around to morons in the countryside. That's literally it.
We destroyed western wonderweapons, we have destroyed hundreds and thousands of others, look we stronk we will win.
I wonder how good/bad the internals are damaged
that one abrams that was posted today, is definitely not moving on its own for the parade
Are you serious?
Would having DU have saved the Abrams from being deleted by FPV drones that strike from above?
Yooks not being under strict US requirements not to do any field modifications woulda. Or did you fail to notice every abrams you've seen in the war has been stock
>non-sealed bearings
why?
Common for T-series afaik.
