I don't think it's got a barrel sleeve or even a rangefinder. Not even Obr. 1975. Only thing this has over the original production is the MG mount over the loader's hatch, and it looks like they pinched the MG already.
I don't think so, to my knowledge only the T-64 and early T-72s got optical coincidence rangefinders. Until the 1975 upgrade the T-62 and earlier were coping with stadiametric rangefinding only.
The T-62s were supposed to be updated to T-62M standard in the early 80s, which included applique composite armour on the turret face a bit like the Stillbrew Chieftains
This one doesn't have it
There's one anon way back in April that had a theory explaining that most Russians only have surface-level understanding of America, with that level being its pop cultures like the Avengers. I doubt the average Russians know who Johnny Appleseed or Paul Bunyan was.
>Russians only have surface-level understanding of America
that could be why all of the shills we had on /k/ for fricking years were absolutely shocked that most anons here didn't support their moronic special operation when it kicked off.
somehow they couldn't possibly conceive that /k/ (being mostly american) could be anti-establishment and anti-russia at the same time. i think they expected this board to react the same way all the global south chuds on /misc/ did.
They're still seething that their avengers ripoff flopped so hard. Russia has a major case of national keeping up with the joneses. America has superheros, then Russia must have ndkahgsuperheros.
Unironically I would've liked to see more Russian stuff, foreign stuff is refreshing, but their stuff never seems to pan out or stays isolated in Russia- not even a case of foreign stuff not getting traction, it just never arrives.
I wanted to watch Major Grom, it seemed fun, but I couldn't ever fricking find it, maybe I'm just too lazy.
There was also the Atomheart game but that kept getting fricking put off and there's little chance it's coming out now.
Russians themselves are complaining about this.
Apart from the Brat movies and Metro 2033, every piece of entertainment that came out after 1991 is 1) a shitty ripoff of something American or 2) low brow as frick. Or both.
I think BadComedian has a couple videos with English subs. Dude has been on YouTube for 10+ years complaining about these movies and has become one of the most watched Russian youtubers.
This is also unironically one of the numerous reasons why the Russian military fails so much in Ukraine. Young people (as in, everyone who grew up after the USSR, not just kids) hate that war, hate what the "Russian world" have become, and just want to live like normal millenials/zoomers.
I mean, speak to any non-moronic Russian younger than 35 and you'll learn they grew up watching the same cartoons, playing with the same Barbies and Playstations we all had as kids, and now, play Steam games and watch Netflix. They hate that Putin and his clique turned Russia into an isolated shithole, and are either waiting for the boomers to die, or have already emigrated.
So, when they're being sent to die in Ukraine, they tend to abandon their vehicles and kit and frick off as far as they can from that war.
>>Fury
I'm with you anon, I don't know what age the kids in this coffin were but when they are cheering brad pitt in between saluting putin they are so young and dumb I actually feel sorry for these ones. I notice it still has the manifest train loading number on it H-2200 as well. It is just off the train
What is it? The turret looks too high to be a T-72, also looks like it only has 5 road wheels
Also >IR illuminator like it's fricking 1969 >side skirts made from random bits of wood
Yep, looks like it.
I just can't believe that
a) they still have unmodernised (modernised used very loosely) T-62s
b) they'd actually try to fricking use one
That is why they are using it. Mothballed shit with even the most basic electronics is fricked. Get out the garbage which runs on petrol and muscle instead.
What fricking year is this? And why did they paint "fury" on the barrel?
>Russian shills constantly taunt westerners about Marvel to mock their supposed reliance on pop culture >Russians soldiers paint "Fury" on their tanks
Pottery
They were scraping the Siberian museums 1 month into the war. I am almost sorry for them. They tried their best and all they could come upwas a series of cope lines on a map, cope cages, terrible tanks, outdated weapons. I thought this war was going to be more interesting from a weapon pov. Instead is just old Soviet stuff against old Nato stuff and Nato is hyperwinning.
>I thought this war was going to be more interesting from a weapon pov. Instead is just old Soviet stuff against old Nato stuff and Nato is hyperwinning.
This war has actually answered every major tactical question from the last 60 years and you are complaining? We now know in alternate history that Russia got it's ass handed to it at the Fulda Gap. What more do you want? Communists were even crappier than we imagined.
>Nato is hyperwinning
tho Russia is in all this just with their regular troops while Ukraine is sending meatwaves scooped under gigantic forced conscription, borders and towns locked down so no one can leave but fight for Kyiv regime.
Ukraine had an Ace Combat protagonist for a few days, the Russians thought they would get lucky and a Gundam protagonist would fall into the wienerpit of one of their new tanks.
Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
>UR amoung commons
homie, russia has spent all the URs, Elites and Rares and is dipping into uncommon with T-62, they will soon be down to grey fodder when they field T-54/55s
They might be running low on modern ammo but found a warehouse full of old shit. They scratched their heads for a while and realized how to make good use of it. Imagine being the poor Kontraktnik who just got told that his company is now getting replacement tanks for the lost T-72s and then these bad boys roll off the train.
>fury written on the tank barrel
Imagine being so absolutely, thoroughly and positively buck broken and mogged as a culture that you even copy the films of your sworn greatest enemy. It might be a small thing to most but to me it's gargantuan. America won the cultural victory to the hardest degree in all human history, that even their greatest enemies copy their every last move. Is this the true power of globohomo?
>even their greatest enemies
But maybe the guy who wrote this is apolitical and just a fan of that movie. Its not like everything american is banned here (yet).

this war has made me love our aesthetic. I used to hate the "good guy" multicam look, turns out it's really kino in settings besides shithole desert #412334. Turns out we just needed to add bandanas and helmet scrim/camo.
nah, i still hate it and it's still is useless here except in one period of the year meanwhile our local camo is good for all year round.
also i can't shit on US Pacific brown camo, it do work better than multicam
I mean, there's too much detail for this to be the case, but this photo looks like an extreme close up of a model tank diorama, with soldiers shopped onto it.
It gives me uncanny valley vibes.

Give it to NATO and then roll it straight into the center of Kyiv as a war trophy. Morale bonus of putting it on a pedestal would be worth way more than fielding the piece of junk.
Shit! Steiner will not be able to do his counter offensive :/
Is that a T-62
Better, it’s an Object 169 most likely
I don't think it's got a barrel sleeve or even a rangefinder. Not even Obr. 1975. Only thing this has over the original production is the MG mount over the loader's hatch, and it looks like they pinched the MG already.
They have a coincidence rangefinder, but that doesn't really count
I don't think so, to my knowledge only the T-64 and early T-72s got optical coincidence rangefinders. Until the 1975 upgrade the T-62 and earlier were coping with stadiametric rangefinding only.
You're right, sorry
It was once again worse than I thought
The T-62s were supposed to be updated to T-62M standard in the early 80s, which included applique composite armour on the turret face a bit like the Stillbrew Chieftains
This one doesn't have it
No thats a FAMAS newfriend
that cast turret makes me so sad
>Fury
You know you've established cultural dominance when the enemy is marking their tanks after Hollywood heroes.
Decisive American cultural victory
It's really weird how the Russian shills never shut the frick up about the avengers.
Have the Russians done ANYTHING BUT project?
There's one anon way back in April that had a theory explaining that most Russians only have surface-level understanding of America, with that level being its pop cultures like the Avengers. I doubt the average Russians know who Johnny Appleseed or Paul Bunyan was.

butthurt hispanics south of mexico
They're still seething that their avengers ripoff flopped so hard. Russia has a major case of national keeping up with the joneses. America has superheros, then Russia must have ndkahgsuperheros.

It's got a nice B-movie knock off 2007 Transformers or X-men vibe to it.

Yep, looks like it.
I just can't believe that
a) they still have unmodernised (modernised used very loosely) T-62s
b) they'd actually try to fricking use one
I'm just surprised it works. Most of their "reserve" tanks are in worse condition than condemned aircraft at the Tucson Boneyard.
Somewhere in the icy cold forests of Siberia, there lives the necromech. Tanks long lost to mortal memory are revived to serve their master once more!
That is why they are using it. Mothballed shit with even the most basic electronics is fricked. Get out the garbage which runs on petrol and muscle instead.
T-62 which has had T72 smoke launchers and side skirts added (similar to Obyekt 169)

Are you trying to imply they are homosexual lovers?
I mean, Kadyrov is about an inch away from nuzzling Daddy Putin's big strong shoulder in that ad so...

Those are actually breddy good
What's the point of bringing something like this to the front? Minefield clearing with Siberian navy conscripts?

How will panzers manage to penetrate?
god please no, I want Kubinka to sell the shit off to musuems in the west, not fricking send them to go get destroyed.
Modern self normalizing weapons, and also the turret.

Don't worry anon, odds are high they will be abandooned and found by a new, loving Ukie owner.

Pack your things zisters, it was fun while it lasted
What's their plan to supply these? Does it even have ammo? Unlike the rest of the deployment, these take vintage 115mm ammo.
They might be running low on modern ammo but found a warehouse full of old shit. They scratched their heads for a while and realized how to make good use of it. Imagine being the poor Kontraktnik who just got told that his company is now getting replacement tanks for the lost T-72s and then these bad boys roll off the train.
Silly anon you just don't understand Russian TO&E. That's one of the tanks that moves doesn't shoot, not one the tanks that shoots but doesn't move.
Is that an IR searchlight mounted above the barrel?
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!
fricking yes
they are carting out what was the pinnacle of tank design... for the post war and early cold war.
How many of those stored T-72s ended up being completely unsalvageable hulks in the fields? It makes me very sad as a tank nerd.
those stored T-72s were sold or scavenged for parts long ago

It might the tree braches in foreground, that look to have been taken off the tank.
Also why was it driven gun barrel first into a window? The window frame is literally still there resting on the gun. Seems deliberate.

Give it to NATO and then roll it straight into the center of Kyiv as a war trophy. Morale bonus of putting it on a pedestal would be worth way more than fielding the piece of junk.
The US would probably trade them a couple Abrams for it
What the shit? This is like the west if they'd still use Pattons.
Some do.
Yes but they are heavily modifed like the german Keiler and not used as actual tanks.No major western nation still uses the actual M48
Why haven’t I seen a single nlaw or jav in months and only at4s? I really hope they didn’t use all of them
At a guess? It's easier and light to carry a couple of those around when they get the kill all the same
