      Couldn't you have at least picked one that's actually been fielded? The type you posted exists at a single example in a warehouse somewhere, and isn't even a complete vehicle. The "armor" on the turret cheeks are just weight simulators

                last combat use of the israeli sherman was in yom kippur, so T-62s

                first use of T-72s was in 1982, by which point M50s and M51s were long gone even from reserve units, and merkavas were already being rolled out
                there are no confirmed T-72 v merkava engagements, its still argued whether it was TOWs or the merks who did it

                though with 120mm APFSDS, relatively thick armor, and thermal sights
                theres no reason to believe the merk isnt capable of facing or defeating T-72s

                Chinese hypersonics were done in the 1950s at White Sands. They're boost-glide ballistics. The USA and friends are absolutely capable of producing those, but they're pretty pointless compared to regular ballistics.

    Despite what /k/ thinks or believe, Western is not always superior to Slavshit equivalents.

    For example, when it comes to main battle tanks, at the moment Australian M1A1 and Sing/Indon Leopard are the bottom of the barrel in the Southeast Asia region. Malaysian PT-91M Pendekar, Viet T-90S, and Thai Oplot/VT-4 are superior to monkey model Abrams without DU armor (same as what Arab c**ts like the Saudis, Egypt and Iraq use which have been lost in great numbers) Leopard 2A4 with body kit.

    The Malaysian version of PT-91 are more different than Polish one and have included some pretty extensive upgrade possibly makes it among the most capable T-72 variant available. Instead on using a standard one, they following the Malaysian design by mix and match various East and West equipment like M2HB HMG, Germany tank tracks, Malaysian spectral camouflage system and Polish ERAWA ERA.

    >French SAGEM gyroscoptic SAVAN-15 Fire Control System, similar to that used on the Leclerc
    >EADS 3-axis gun stabilizer coupled with the ability to shoot GL-ATGM
    >Belgian FN Mag + M2 HMG
    >SS1C "Obra" laser warning receiver
    >PM Dezamet 84mm Grenade Launcher
    >Slovakian 2A46MS gun, 20% better accuracy than basic 2A46
    >Malaysian thermal camouflage optronic system

    and last but not least,Malaysia army has integrated network-centric operation via MEASAT 3B communication satellite that have 4x X-band transponder for military usage , so PT-91M have higher situational awareness than Australian M1A1.

    For about half the price of an Abrams those modernized PT-91M is good to at least stand toe to toe with M1A2 SEPv3/Leopard 2A7

            At the moment the PT-91M is the most advanced T-72 variant in service. As I pointed out earlier, the PT-91M operated by a well trained crew, exploiting the terrain, with the right ammo, is more than capable of taking out a heavier, more protected western MBT.

        PT-91M is probably one of the most advanced of the T-72/T-90/PT-91 tank family.

        1) renk ESM350 transmission + S1000 1000hp engine.

        2) SAGEM SIGMA30 Laser gyro INS (can navigate in GPS denied environment)

        3) SAGEM SAVAN 15 targeting system

        4) SAGEM Vigy 15 commander sight

        5) OBRA-3 laser warning system

        6) ERAWA-2 explosive reactive armour

        7) ZTS-Special 2A46MS upgraded 125mm gun.

        8) Diehl Type 570p tracks

        9) Lubawa SA multispectral camouflage netting.

        10) air conditioning system

          None of that is impressive. It’s still a fatally flawed t72

            The PT91M tank is indeed based on the T72 Tank...... but only on the body....... while all other important parts such as engines, transmissions, gunnery, weapon system technology, turret and ammunition, chains, thermal sighting technology, communication systems, fire systems, tank defense systems, electronic systems and devices, scouting systems, hydraulic systems, battlefield systems management, tank maintenance systems, fire control systems, gun stabilizer systems, optronic systems and others are the most sophisticated and up-to-date ones used by modern tank equivalent to leclerc, leopard, T-90MS.....

            other details of the data I can't mention here it's a secret in the ATM itself...... a lot of adjustments have been made to the PT91M tank........ This PT91M tank is far more specific than Poland's own PT91 Twardy..........only the body is the same... ……the other systems are on par with Leopard 2A6 belongs to Germany and T-90MS belongs to Russia...... that's why the price is very expensive....

            One x PT91M can easily destroy 4 x Leopard 2A4 tanks belonging to neighboring Indonesia.... ......the only missing technology is the GPS shell guided system technology which failed to be obtained from Russia due to pressure from the US.......if the PT91M is successfully paired with the system........ PT91M can be fired reaching up to a distance of 21km....... this ability is only owned by the Russian T-14 Armata tank for now....but what is currently available is already able to reach fire support of up to 12km...... not all modern tanks can reach this stage in this distance......and the 125mm gun on the PT91M tank can launch missiles for low-level air defense....... while the US modern Leopard 2A5 and Abram M1A3 don't have this ability..

              This PT91M's firing ability is 9 rounds per minute......faster than the Leopard 2.......and the armor penetration stage is the best and the latest equivalent to those used by Russia today...... instead of the type of shell that was produced by Iraq during Saddam Hussein's time, during the Desert Storm operation, ....the penetrating power of this new shell is equivalent to Russia's ATGM ....

              Poland itself can't afford to upgrade their PT-91 Twardy to the PT-91M owned by Malaysia because the cost is very expensive...... ..not because the Leopard 2A5 tank made in Germany is better ..... one PT-91M tank costs more than USD9 million......at this price Malaysia can buy more than 600 x pieces of second hand Leopard 2A4 made in Germany...

              it should be known that Malaysia has been offered it by many countries that have this Leopard 2A4 tank....but all of them have been rejected by Malaysia because they are not in accordance with the climate in Malaysia.........many tanks have been tested by Malaysia before that.......US Abram M1A1 tank has not reached 2000km already broken track.... ..the Leopard 2A5 tank is good but it doesn't have an autoloader and weighs more than 65 tons so it doesn't suit the jungle climate in Malaysia and is often immersed in mud which is only suitable for urban warfare....

                Keep in mind that the acquisition of this Malaysian MBT has taken a period of more than 10 years. very long.......because of the various stages and tests....and more than 10 models and builds of tanks have been successfully tested during that period....so there comes a time when the test is also carried out in one of the a country in the Middle East also to ensure the specifications can also work even though this PT-91M tank has never experienced in actual combat..... but ATM believes it because the PT-91M has gone through so many tests of its climatic suitability in various real weather fields........ then definitely not inferior to Leopard 2A4 RI.........because the US threatened to buy T-90S from Russia........then PT-91 Twardy from Poland was finally forced to be chosen by Malaysia ........but Malaysia has set a condition so that all the capabilities of the PT-91 Twardy tank are raised to the level of or more than the Russian T-90S tank.....Russia itself after completing its test in Malaysia has upgraded their PT-90S tank to T-90M as a result of the experience of passing the test in the jungles of Malaysia........ PT-91M also has a system equivalent to Shtora 2 installed belongs to Russia........it's just that the design is not the same because I'm afraid it will be pressured by the US........but all systems work and the electronics are the same as the Russian Shtora 2........only on the outside the right and left sides of the tank on the turret look smaller than the ones installed on the Russian T-90MS tank...... ..deliberately so as not to appear that it belongs to Russia.......Sthora 2 system like this does not exist on the Polish PT-91 Twardy....... This Shtora 2 system has been installed by Malaysia later.... ......but that doesn't mean the ability is less than the Russian Shtora 2

      But it's also one of the ugliest tanks and also knowing some poor soul is loading canon by hand like it's some medieval pirate ship further ruins the feels.

              Because they're almost never used in combat. When they are they pop like every other tank.

                Those are supposedly yugo M79 Osa kills which is really old at this point tho quite a big boy.
                M79 was pooping SAA tanks with reactive armor from the front so who knows.
                >same_old_picture
                It's old since western made tanks are not used anywhere so it's hard to make new pics

                Unpopular opinion but ISIS was top tier force, if they got fraction of equipment that Kyiv got they would be in Vladivostok by now.
                Too bad they're bunch of crazies.

    It's between Abrams and K2. But Abrams is lagging a bit with offensive capabilities. Still the old shorter 120mm and no smart ammo.

      it has programmable HEAT-MP already
      and the penetration on its most recent ammo is still classified but is estimated to be able to defeat another MBT frontally at standard combat ranges
      in any case, it has both gunner and commander thermal sights which is the standard today
