This only means something has been done wrong, not that mass scale shitconomy is better approach. So they made it more expensive but barely any better?
Glorious Rossiya is slowly finishing the amphibious modification for their 9000-strong fleet of Armatas. When the process is complete the Armatas will sail from Novorossyie to Odesa taking the evil HATO nazis by surprise. After such a display of might the nations of Europe will have no choice but to declare Vladimir Vladimirovich as Holy Roman Emperor.
Yes. The bear has been stirred awoken. When the wind is sown, the whirlwind will be reaped. Whenever Uk*aine sinks a cruiser, destroys a train, blows up an ammo dump or massacres a fumbled offensive, a new state-of-the-art wojak edit will be deployed by Rossiya on this image board, wreaking havoc and liquidating the order of the operations.

Russia has no combat capable T-34s. They have 10-12 they bought from Laos they use for parades and films.
Stop asking about "muh T-34s in warehouses" because they don't exist.
I would argue otherwise. Specifically the T62. The T-55 was far more successful in export than the T62, so it would be far more profitable to steal T-55 parts from boneyards.
I suspect it's the same reason we are seeing T-62s roll out before older homogenous turret T-72s.
christ man. this is the like the ninth time you've told someone this about the T-34s. just let them believe what they want to believe. besides, the mental image is funny
USSR was actually capable of replacing its losses and building new equipment, Ukraine is entirely reliant on a drip of NATO weapons which hasn't been enough to replace losses of Soviet-era equipment, most of which it doesn't have the parts or expertise to maintain or the logistics base to support it. It is functionally now an infantry army who's sole advantage is superior numbers. The Soviets whatever their problems never ran short of artillery or tanks.
If there was a bunch of Ukrainian factories in Poland manned by refugees pumping out guns, ammunition, artillery and vehicles out of Russian reach then you'd have something remotely comparable to the Ural factories.
>USSR was actually capable of replacing its losses and building new equipment,
Yeah, with Land-Lease help. They themselves admitted that privately, as recalled by Khrushchev. Meanwhile Soviet "historians" spent the next few decades cooking numbers in order to show that L-L was a nothingburger as opposed to the lifeline that kept USSR alive.
>USSR was actually capable of replacing its losses and building new equipment
Please explain to what degree you believe Lend Lease assisted the Soviet Union in its defense of the Motherland. I would love to hear your waffling shifting of the goalposts to try and pretend it was entirely different.
It was massively important, but far more so in regards to the logistical and supply burden it lifted from the Red Army. The UAF isn't getting the logistical support and supply to maintain the NATO weapons it gets, and given its loss of almost all of its armored vehicles that's more making up for losses rather than building up a reserve or surplus. Its advantage in this war is Manpower, even if many of them are TDtards they have enough numbers to eat huge losses and plug holes the Russians punch in the line.

>Now those ARE just T-72s.
T-62 actually, pushing 60 years old, evolution of the T55. They were produced by the Norks up to the 1980s with a licence from the USSR but they fricked with it to try and make it lighter, basically it has no armour and that thing in your propaganda parade is it with a cosplay body kit, it is actually inferior to the original Soviet made T62. That all being said, how to Russians live with themselves knowing that they armed the Kims? Seriously?
Deep in the bunkers under Ural, Dugin has been working on training using neuralink 20000 of the most hardened soviet WW2 veterans in stasis. They have all tens of thousands of hours of training on T-14 and SU-57. They played through every conceivable scenario countless times, and the machines they command feel like extensions of their bodies.
When the Primaris Soviets will be unleashed... god help humanity.
>he's joking >he doesn't know Shoygu suggested to clone ancient Scythian warriors for combat
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/archaeology/a36383243/russia-wants-to-clone-ancient-army/
So at this point in the war, what is genuinely the most advanced tank the Russians can field? Are there any options they have going forward to domestically produce an effective model which can at least bear the needs of modern warfare? Are they basically stuck now relying on artillery barrages, or do they have any realistic options going forward?
They can cobble together plenty more Soviet relics. The problem is that they've used all the good shit so their reinforcements are going to get progressively shittier. This also leads to a feedback loop of;
Inferior tank -> more likely to be destroyed -> experienced crewmen lost -> replacement crew less experienced -> more likely to be destroyed
T14 is the state of the Russian army where instead of replacement of outdated equipment they scatter money for modernization to keep old factories working. T-90, T-72, T-80, T-62... they literally stood on the same rake as the Soviet Union
For what purpose? Are you under the impression that the people behind these programs are interested in something inane like building a powerful army, rather than embezzling funds and sending their kids to study in supposedly hostile countries?
>So, when the feint will be finally over and thousands of T-14s will roll into Ukraine?
Never they fricked up with the T14 and it is too high to be used as the bridges are too low, loading bays in amphibious transport, railway bridges etc etc. Even if they had a 1000 of them it is useless. Pure back to the USSR central planning disaster
>Never they fricked up with the T14 and it is too high to be used
The Russian Army initially planned to acquire 2,300 T-14s between 2015 and 2020. By 2018, production and fiscal shortfalls delayed this to 2025, before Russia announced the apparent cancellation of the main production run on July 30th, 2018.

Russia's latest battle tank has been upgraded in a way that will relieve its crew.
The designers behind the Armata system that supports heavy armored vehicles such as the new T-14 tank have now added a toilet, allowing troops to tend to their bodily needs without exposing themselves during battle. Ilya Baranov, the director for quality and information technologies at the Urals Design Bureau of Transport Machine-Building, described the innovation Thursday as a major quality of life improvement for personnel.
"A major hassle for them is that they cannot relieve their natural functions. That is, water and field rations are available in the tank, but all the other conveniences are, unfortunately, absent," Baranov told the state-run Tass Russian News Agency. "Only the Armata vehicles solved this dilemma.
