These things are going to be followed so closely by NATO intelligence they're going to turn into smoke the fricking nanosecond they enter Ukraine's effective strike range
If I was a crewman for one of these I'd do anything to get out of it, up to and including hacking off my own limbs
There will be more Leopard 2's in Ukraine than there are functional T-14's in the world soon enough
Not to mention Challengers and eventually Abrams

supposedly the most surprising thing about this image to satellite nerds was not the resolution, but the angle at which it’s taken. i read somewhere that it’s likely heavily enhanced by AI, in the same way Google Pixel’s cameras are capable of zooming in on live images without actually having a zoom lens.
like it takes artifacts from the image and can zoom in to get even closer by running it through algorithms to produce the new and more granular image, in real time. so i guess theoretically this technology would allow NRO satellites to continuously improve just by software updates.
you could imagine that it would save a lot of money by not needing to launch a new satellite every few years just to get a slightly better resolution.
This.
On paper, nothing, including a T-90S, competes with a Chally 2.
Russia needs to theoretically have a comparable system in operation for domestic purposes. Videos will be filmed but that thing ain't getting anywhere near the front.
the t90s is the export mod tourist. the challenger or leopard or abrams will blow up like any t64. this isnt a marvel movie where the badass supertank comes in and saves the day

You have to remember that the average Russian probably thinks they have enough tanks to spare.

Hello, reddit.
There's gonna be more Leopard 2's in Ukraine than T14s in a few weeks, I bet my left nut in it
I demand that the nut in question be deposited at an escrow until the bet is resolved.
There's already a good chance there's at least as many leopards in Ukraine right now than there are Armata tanks in the world.

Hell CAPTURE at least one of them. Disable the treads and tow it away.
It will make quite the trophy for Ukraine.

STOP I can only get so erect
>the two tanks were formed up in column
can you really call it a column if it's two tanks
Anon, please, it's all they can afford.
>2 (Two)
how the frick can they tell they're T14s if the image resolution makes them resemble C&C sprites
MoDs usually decreases resolution of satelite images to hide true capacity. Remember the shit Trump got for tweeting classified images?
Still amazes me we actually got that picture. NRO is operating some black magic up in space.
>Thinking that Trump tweeted even a fraction of the resolution the NRO has when he effectively took a photo of a functional resolution image.
>NRO has been able to read license plates since the 80s.
The president tweeted declassified images. He declassified them by tweeting them he doesn't have to do declassification paperwork like plebs.
It's true, the president can even declassify documents by thinking about it really hard.
moron alert
This anon is right, it's common for presidents to release classified intelligence, and then retroactively declassify them with their mind.

So CSI zoom and enhance shit is real?
It unironically has been for a few years now.
It is, at least if you have the NSA's massive black budget that can fund specialized AI enhancement software.
You can do better.
Came here to post this.
NAFO will never recover from this
mmm roast piggies *~~))
Can't be, both of them??!
they needed a propaganda victory since NATO is sending tanks and IFV's.
This.

Oh boy, the next may 9th parade is gonna look interesting.
>the next may 9th parade
Oh boy.
I can't imagine that they'd actually hold one this year. How could they possibly justify it?
If there's no materiel on display, it's just going to make them look shit and like the army has collapsed.
If they do have any materiel then you have to ask why it's not on the front where it would be useful?
