>T62 superior to anything >still uses steel armor >still has an ancient 115mm gun
Look, thermals will give you good first shot capability but it doesn't really matter when pretty much every ex soviet tank in Ukraine and every NATO tank in Ukraine has that capability with better armor, gun, or both
Ok, in case there's anyone here that's actually taking this washed out clownish buffoon seriously let's take this down to a single statement. How in the ever living fuck is a somewhat upgraded T-62 supposed to make a "game changing" difference when they've already had multitudes of cutting edge in comparison T-72/T-90 or T-80 tanks that have been destroyed by whatever munition you care to pull out of hat at this point? Come on, say the line for me, tank is tank amirite?
Propaganda and, as Medvedev would say, insolent polish lies.
These people live in a parallel reality, for all intent and purposes.

Incel Smegma Z honestly just makes shit up, but honestly it feels very "workman like" in that they know they are just making shit up and don't really care, a bit like that Spriter. RWA meanwhile is legitimately unhinged and incredible bitter(their rants about the "ungrateful soviet minorities" and claims of how the Russian Empire won the Russo-Japanese War are legendary).

Kirill is legitimately unhinged. See for example his weird obsession with defending Nicholas II honor(a guy so incompetent and retard that even the monarchist White armies during the Civil War openly said that they didn't want him back in power).
>since behind all the warts there are sincere beliefs that they act on

I'm an Aussie that is sick of people easily recognizing Russian propaganda but can't spot western propaganda when it's feed into their homes 24/7 and used as conversation starters at work.
Propaganda is always a factor in shaping people opinions, but the thing here is that NAFO actually organize charities and donations, send volunteers, and otherwise does stuff that actually benefits the ukrainian war effort, on top of being able to actually explain why they should support Ukraine in an ideological/moral level that is actually coherent.

The russian/ottoman theater is not well known because the british/ottoman theater was largely a disaster for the british (between gallipoli and the Siege of Kut). But the russians small forces trounced the much larger ottoman army and by 1916 held a fair bit of the east of the country and were in very good position to pursue advancing further.
Same way on the eastern front the russian effort of 1916 destroyed almost completely the austro-hungary armies (which virtually ceased to exist) forcing germany to fight on two front (which they did but couldn't do for long).
You have to remember that Nicolas II was a terrible ruler and that revolutions would likely had happen regardless of german meddling. But it's true that in 1916 Russia was in a much more stronger position than many people think.
Russia would have likely delivered the killing blow in late 1917-1918 rather than France/Serbia/Greece/UK.
Some retards think the burgers and english and french on the western front won WWI. It's couldn't be more wrong. All offensives were stalled and repelled tanks were globally doing fuck all because they could eassilly be cracked open by artillery fire, the germans were so dug in it made it impossible to really advance.
What forced the Allies hand is the completely unknown Macedonian campaign in which the french Marshal Franchet d'Espèrey commanding basically all the entente cavalry units that still existed and were parked south doing nothing, lead a mad rush that collasped the Allies southern front riding from Greece to crossing the Danube in fucking Hungary smashing everything in it's way like a reverse Attila the fucking Hun.
Do Ziggers genuinely believe that the U.S. arsenal has been halved?? We have given Ukraine close to nothing compared to what we actually have. The only things Ukraine has gotten are mothballed stockpiles that we were more than likely going to destroy, with very few brand new items.
and the things we're getting low on like 155mm shells are things we hadn't been making many of because we just haven't used that many of them since the gulf war.
>"trad orthodox twitter user"
Can we just bring back the old KKK back to lynch these "trad caths/orthodoxs" like they used to before, getting really sick of these retards think religion is some aesthetic shit and a way to LARP
Somebody else said it first but western ziggers are completely removed from reality and exist in an echo chamber fantasyland where every military aged Ukrainian man has died several times over and basic utilities no longer function. Genuine ziggers, as delusional as they are, are still physically close enough to what's happening to know that things are fucked and are screaming for Shoigu and Gerasimov and all the other bad boyars' heads.

and what I, as a Pole can add to the topic is the fact that western zigger fascination with Puccia/communism in overall dictated by one simple fact - they were never under the Soviet boot. If they were for as long as one month, they would fucking collapse into agony shortly after. It had always fascinated me that stupid zigger westerners crave for Russian victory and work-life balance model yet they never felt it on their own skin.
it's easily explained when you realize that they are <80iq subhuman scum of the earth
Konfederacja as far as I know mostly isn't pro-russian, most of that sentiment comes from Korwin simply saying that ukrainians arent the untouchable holy saints of the modern world without fault and do in fact also lie and utilize propaganda, justifiably so, they are in a war after all. For some reason such statement is interpreted as being pro russian
I should also add that its entirely possible im forgetting some fucking nutcase because for some reason post-soviet countries aren't allowed not insane economically right wing political parties, but I'm pretty sure most of the prorussian accusations came from Korwin's statements
>what the fuck is actually wrong with somebody like this, how can they ignore all the evidence they are seeing
Basically, because for most part they don't *actually* care about Russia winning, its goals in Ukraine, or whatever, it is mainly about "owing" some domestic enemy which Ukraine is supposed to be a proxy off.
That is also why I think that people such as NAFO, mockworthy as it might be, are fundamentally better than anglosphere Z-types, since behind all the warts there are sincere beliefs that they act on.

This,
you can clearly see it by them not having even a cursory interest in Russian history or culture.
I bet they will jump on the China train after the war ends, except for the kind sirs from India
Depends on who's doing the coping. >4chan suffer from terminal brainrot from years of Russian psyops to the point that they've completely detached from reality >tankies are for anything that hurts the west, even if the people they support are guilty of the same things they hate the west for >thirdies are bitter over being colonized by the west and desperately want to see their revenge fantasies come to life
You have to understand that these people already decided either at the start or even before the war that Russia is winning/will win no matter what and they’ve seemingly attached their own personal worth to these predictions so they can’t change course.
They almost universally suffer from a major gap between their self image and their personal/professional achievements. Their own narcissism drives them towards contrarian ideas, conspiracies, and self-aggrandizement. They are looking for some justification to explain their failures or some means to achieve the recognition they're denied by their own limitations. They're desperate for validation but too dumb, lazy, or unpleasant to achieve it conventionally.
This is their way of saying "Look at me, look how smart I am, validate me" without having to go through the difficult and unpleasant work of actually educating themselves or developing a well informed opinion.
You know how people make a brand part of their self-image? Okay, now extend that to their opinions. Got it? Now try and convince this person that their opinions are wrong when it's basically the entire core of their person.
It doesn't matter what evidence you give them. It doesn't matter what reality is. It doesn't matter if something actually happened. It doesn't matter if they are literally watching something happen in realtime. It doesn't matter if you have impartial audiences stating otherwise. It doesn't matter if their own team personally confirms it's true. You are wrong. Your opinions are wrong. Your choices are wrong. Your beliefs are wrong. Your evidence is forged. Your witnesses are glowies. Your experience is fake. Your proof is doctored. Their team is under duress or being blackmailed by the CIA's lizard men.
Them admitting anything would mean that they have to admit that not only are they wrong, but their beliefs for potentially decades were wrong, and the thing that they've made their entire life was either wrong or a sham.
As a simple example there are people who will forever live believing the moon landing is a hoax. This is despite like eight separate countries confirming it happening, the major rival to America confirming it, you being able to personally confirm that the shit they left behind is on the moon with a telescope or a laser pointer, NASA being able to live edit videos within five seconds better than people can do with months of prep time now with better programs, and more.
Same deal with people who believe the Earth is flat when you can literally have a guy a couple miles away shining a high lumen light at you and he needs to gain some height because of the curvature of the earth, or when ships disappear over the horizon, or when the military, GPS, and camera stabilizers require auto-correcting for the curvature of the earth just to function properly.
You can't convince these people, they've convinced themselves.
>thermal sights
Considering all the sights on their actually new vehicles were french, one has to wonder about these thermal sights, is this first generation soviet shit theyre putting on these tanks?
Pretty much. The 1PN96MT-02 thermal gunners sight was originally developed for the BTR-80 back in the mid-80's and was still in production for use on monkey-model export T-72s and T-62Ms.
It looks like the tanks being modernized in repair depots (T-62/72/80) are getting this sight instead of the French Thales thermals. The Sosna-U appears to be an Uralvagonzavod-only item for new production or rebuilds coming out of the main tank plant.
>M60s had thermals in 1980 >M1s had thermals in 79 >M1A2 got commander thermals in 94 >third-gen thermal sights are fine enough to read the serial number of enemy tanks, because the white paint is slightly cooler than the surrounding green paint
>a T62 with bolted on thermals is objectively better than Leo 2s, Challenger 2s and M1s >I don't even know what to say to that.
It explains why he wasn't promoted all those years
>Copechair Piglord
If it really has thermals, it is indeed superior to T-64s, T-72s and T-55s without any and Ukraine has plenty of those.
>it is indeed superior to T-64s, T-72s
Lol, lmao. Base T-62 had thermals, as well as 64 and 72. But those are 1960s thermals 🙂
>comrade, where are my thermals?
Nicocado-looking motherfucker
>Base T-62 had thermals
No. It had image intensifiers. I wish you morons from reddit would stfu regarding topics you know nothing about.
>1960 thermals
No, 'blacklight' IR-NVD aren't thermals, that word is used for a very different kind of systems.
Besides that, those IR-NVD turned to be a problem for all tanks using them when the enemy had similar systems.

Meanwhile the Ukes have a home-grown upgraded model of the T-64, which is a superior design to the T-72, let alone the fucking 62.
>It will hit first

Also pretty much every cannon bearing vehicle the west gave the ukies has thermals and more modern fcs.

So basically this is as close as you can get to not having a thermal sight while technically having a thermal sight.
The lopard 2a6 will see it first and kill it first. And if by luck the t62 gets the first shot, it wont penetrate
So it's finally on par with an M60A3 TTS?
