      >Russia's victory is inevitable

      Hardly looks that way right now, though. Ukrainians are even getting numerical superiority, and Russia still hasn't mobilised.

      Only real advantage Russia has is bigger air power, but they seem unable to exploit it. Unless Russia mobilises, or something else dramatic happens, Russia will lose outright.

        Not only that, it's the GOOD kind of night vision too, not the 1940s tier infrared active reflectors that the Vatniks STILL use even on their newest upgrades like the T-72B3, because the commander didn't get a thermal viewer so he's still using a shitty ass active IR periscope.

          In terms of optics, yeah. But it's still stuck with a T-55 chassis, some basic ERA, and a 105mm gun.

            IIRC French ammo is compatible with L7A1 guns, and the French still have some stuff in their warehouses (the 10RC uses a 105mm gun).
            Now, of course, whether Macron will do the needful and provide it, is another matter.

      The gun has been upgraded from the standard 100 mm soviet to the L7 105 mm nato with fully stabilized sights. automatic leading of the target, night sights, the armor has been upgraded by rafael and ERA panels have been fitted, plus they mounted an laser irradiation detector and warner system that can alert the crew if it detects a pulsed alser from a laser illuminator/designator (360 coverage). It's not much but they can frick up BMPs, BMDs and the older T variants with it. Plus it looks fricking cool.

                The "ongoing talks" are from May. And the newest detail on the deal is sending the M-55. So it's safe to assume that these talks resulted in the M-55 for trucks instead of M-84 for APCs. While your claim was Slovenia is getting Leopards, Boxers and Pumas, which weren't even offered HAD the deal even have gone through.

                First of all, the article claimimg the Leopard trade cited "unnamed sources", which is suspect in and of itself. The Delo article then quotes Der Spiegel who quoted acquired documents that the negotiations are still ongoing because Germany is offering old APCs, and not Boxers, Pumas or least of all Leopards. That was in May and nobody gave an update on any deal until now. Which is old tanks for logistic trucks.

                A normal person from this can gather the news lied, illiterate shit repeated a lie, then doubled down on the lie because either he's a smug German who actually believes the bullshit they're feeding him, or he's embarrassed because he's illiterate. Maybe both.

          the reason Slovenia can senf their tanks is becuase they don't have any interest in the shitshow that is called Bosnia, and they don't share a border with Serbia. Though I do agree that this is a great oportunity for us (Croatia) to get rid of out yugo gear and get our hands on some NATO weapons, due to our local geopolitical surroundings, we can't really risk being disarmed for a few months untill we wait for NATO tanks/APC's to arrive

      We're in a bit of a pickle. Simply put, the whole damn country is fully backing Ukraine because of our experiences with the Serbs. This whole thing is just like what Serbs tried to do to us and Bosnia in the 90s. The problem is exactly that - Serbia and Bosnia. Serbia is becoming more and more unhinged and there's a huge political struggle in Bosnia which is depriving Croats there of their political and cultural rights, representation in government and so forth. Slovenija doesn't have any of these issues and can afford to "gamble" even from a purely economic standpoint, because they're richer.

      While it's true our president seems to back Russia in some aspect, it's also true everyone considers him a moron because of it and he has no legislative power whatsoever. The actual country, be it the people or the decision making government, is fully on board with Ukraine. But we are neither rich nor heavily armed. We've started to slowly upgrade or buy new gear prior to all of this, be it from the Americans or the French, but the economic issues prevent us from going gung ho on this and doubly so because our neighbors are completely out of their fricking minds. Croatia must not and will not allow itself to be caught weaponless. If for instance Germany gave us Leopards or someone else did whatever like, NOW and not years into the future I'm willing to be our gov would send our tanks to Ukraine. But we can't afford to have most of the country go up in flames if Serbs or Bosnians start some shit.

      And yes we did send stuff to Ukraine already and we're taking in their refugees. I have a couple of families living in my apartment block. They are all quite welcome. The rest is just misjudging Croatia's abilities and expecting the unreasonable while we're seeing the same kind of genocide rhetoric coming from Serbia like it did in 1991, and only god knows WTF Bosnia is trying to pull.

        bosniaks are trying to recreate RBIH "gradanska drzava" ideal by spiting croats out of politics (this is a really dumb idea).
        Serbs are simply trying to disintegrate Bosnia to achieve independent RS / velika srbija. Croats are trying to keep some degree representation while simulatniously attempting to disintegrate the nation and return HRHB (or at least paying lip service to the idea). At least thats my interpetation as a not very well informed bosnjo. Then again it could all be an attempt to get nationalist points before the elections gain, time will tell. I honestly just want bosniaks to stop voting for Komsic and at make an attempt at some sort of compromise / normal relations with the croats, im sure we could find something that will make both sides happy without going as far as making a treci entitet.

    One thing I never see mentioned is that the FCS is the same as the one on M-84 just programmed for the 105. It's the Israeli L7 variant sadly I'm not sure what specific ammo the Ukies will get with them. The commander also has acces to the gunners optics and can controll the turret/gun with his own joystick, also it has a LWR but it only shows the direction of the laser nad can be set to automatically launch smoke grenades.
    Honestly the only thing I'd swap is the engine other than that it's great for anything other than tank-tank fights

        These T-55's got completely refurbished and then mothballed because we had no other option at the time and there was a real danger of balkan war coming to us. Quite literally unused since we had enough M-84's. As such , trading them for actually usable 8x8 while someone might get some use out of them is a good deal.

          I don't disagree with part of the assessment, the tank is old and not really suitable for engaging modern tanks. However it is still usable as a mobile pillbox with a cannon. And as we can see in Ukraine, you need massive reserves of whatever you can find to actually continue fighting. But good luck telling that to our schizoid defense department.

            I mean it depends on how good the 105mm APFSDS we provide Ukraine is, but Russia is deploying a lot of tanks like T-72As and T-62s that would be vulnerable to it. And that's not mentioning the BMPs, BMDs, BTRs etc the M-55S can easily kill and which can't easily kill the M-55S.

              Well yes. That's why it could have still been useful to us as well. At the very least traded for weapons instead of logistics trucks. How about upgrading at least a few Patrias with the heavier weapons and turrets it was supposed to have.

            Okay, you purposefully posted an old article, which didn't even stated anything to the contrary only to later reveal, that it's outdated and something else happened in the meantime and by the way you didn't even post a source for that claim to this point, and you now have the audacity of calling others liars and claiming they are doing it on purpose? Yeah, you wanted this discussion to fail from the very start and have it end in shitflinging.

                "Državi sta se pred časom dogovarjali, da bi Slovenija Ukrajini namenila svoje sodobnejše tanke M84, Nemčija pa bi ji v zameno dobavila svoje modernejše tanke, a tega dogovora za zdaj še ni."

    It's a good deal. Slovenia isn't exactly made for tank actions, and it's surrounded on 3 sides by other NATO nations anyways. The Slovenian Army would never be active in combat within their own borders unless the Hapsburgs decide to get uppity again.

      Uppity is what you call a Black person or similar slave-caste when they reach beyond their limits, the Habsburgs ruled over most of the relevant parts of the balkan and large swathes of Europe for centuries.
      Though it could be argued they became relevant simply because they were ruled by non-balkanites.

          Rolling gear is fine, it's basically an industrial-espionaged copy of the Leo 1 powertrain, with a few minor tweaks you can perform on the original MTU one as well, and parts are basically interchangeable. If nothing else, they can be used as pioneer/combat engineer vehicles and ARVs.
          But, yes, as a combat tank it's pretty lacking in several respects, and it would cause a logistical nightmare, particularly because no Leo 1s (so you would have at least a modicum of parts commonality) were received by Ukraine.

              maybe because the original deal of doing that in Germany was so woefully overtime and overbudget that they have thrown the towel due to insufficient manpower and agreed to just source the parts witch is also very problematic (and according to export license Poland cannot upgrade anything without sourcing it trough original manufacturers...)

              >the 820 K2PLs you orderd will be built in Poland
              and that's the main difference - leo2 is black box that cannot be upgraded - technology or licenses to do anything is not transferred with the tanks..
              while Koreans don't give a shit they let you produce their tanks or modify them as you see fit - just pay a license fee.

              this is not our first cooperation with Koreans ( Krab has Korean chassis - after one we copy pasted from t72 cracked during tests)
              and difference between ease of making changes to German and Korean hardware is unbelievable

                It's almost like the German stuff was purposefully overengineered. Up to the point any upgrade or serious maintenance required blessing from KMW and a few wheelbarrows of money.

      If they free up some better tanks while parked on some random border crossing they've done their job

    They’re sending a “modernized” T-55? The only reason these countries can afford to do this is because the tanks they’re sending are dreadfully obsolete. They’re on par with the shit the Russian reservist/penal units are being issued. They’d be better off just sending more anti-tank weapons instead of arming the Ukrainians with tanks that are death traps.

      Slovenia has a laughable stock of at weapons. Tanks are there and apparently they're willing to accept them (as opposed to spanish leo2's)

      And why would they be better off? Maybe ukrainian Soldiers would be better off, but they are not an important part of the equation.

      awww poor little Poland doesn't get gifted new tanks for their old T-72's and has to pay to modernize their own military, how awful
      you can't pretend to be the most virtuous country on earth, selflessly helping Ukraine, and at the same time demanding your aid gets reimbursed by other countries

      The Poles want freebies and are somehow surprised that after playing the -shit-on-the-krauts card constantly for domestic political gain said krauts are not going to give those freebies. Who could have guessed?

    I kept shitting on the orcs for digging up the T-62, now what?

    How do you counter the inevitable ridicule vatBlack person bots are going to inevitably throw in their arguments when this shows up on the front line?

      Ironically, that upgraded T-55 is, from a purely functional standpoint, slightly better than a fresh-outta-scrapyard T-62.

        The upgraded T55 is a glass cannon that can shoot and kill tanks and bmps. Russias T62s are rusted with no coms thermals or ballistic computer

          T-62M's have a digital ballistic computer and a laser rangefinder, but it's clunky as frick, since it was Black person-rigged on top of an analog system back in the 80's.

          Pic related, T-62M's laser ranging readout isn't even projected into the gunner's eyepiece, it's a separate box in the crew compartment, so the gunner has to take his eyes off the gunsight to read the range.

          I would like to see these babies blow up a T-72 and it gets recorded.
          If T-55 wins Turret Toss olympics it’ll be the funniest thing since Moskva.

      A. """The Bear""" vs a smaller country that used to be them
      B. On paper, these actually have a lot of modern kit in them. New NV, new FCS, Commander override, Laser Warning Receiver etc. Also, a NATO gun, L7 105mm.
      C. These probably won't be suited to the frontline, but could do pretty well for border security. That could free up some more advanced tanks to go to the front.

        We'll see, but the cope narrative has been that the Russians haven't been deploying their best forces all this time, so that's why they have old shit, while the Ukrainian military were already destroyed months ago, and have to deploy teenagers, the elderly, women, Black person mercs, NATO aid weapons, so that's why they have old shit.

    ukies can use it to train on NATO ammunition and 4-man tanks but other than that it's a deathtrap

      Sounds like a recipe for bad muscle memory, because their crew layout is mirrored compared to NATO tanks. On these the loader is on the right, and the gunner+commander on the left.
