No, they're genuinely probably the only RuAF survivors since the start of the conflict.
Why? Well because they're from the parade division and therefore excluded from any war duties.
No, no seriously, Russia has a parade division and it is the only part of their arm forces completely immune to getting sent to the front lines.
Priorities I guess.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Moscow_Victory_Day_Parade >The 2023 parade was heavily scaled down compared to earlier parades >Only one tank was shown, namely an antique T-34-85
Unless they all managed fit in that one rust bucket, they're all dead as the fricking dodo.
Nah but genuinely, why did they only roll out that one singular WWII WWII antique, at least get one of T-72/T-80/T-90 each at the latest obrazets
That shit was embarrassing. Very fitting for their progress in the war, but embarrassing to say the least
Yes I know, but I just have a very hard time believing that. Having 3 to 5 tanks more on the battlefield wouldn't have been significant even only in one area of operations for jusut one combat rotation.
Just send a few dozen buryats to die instead and save the embarrassment of having one single T-34 at your Victory Day Parade
>Schrodinger's military operation or SMO: >Barely requires the full might of the glorious Russian army, only conscripts from the far east
But also >Requires every last tank including parade units for the front
Yeah, however that kind of defeat (complete liberation of Ukraine, regime change in Russia) is not going to happen. Instead we will get trench warfare until 202X and then some ceasefire after a million people would have died. This beaut will be long sold for scrap till then :/
>someone saved my shitty image that isn't even aligned properly
cool. also don't forget I made that when looking to see where the SU-57's were stationed and out of the stated locations of 10 I only found 8 at airfelds, meaning those two in the pic are being counted as in service most likely, and somehow they claim to have 22 in service.
Su57 is right here cumrade. As you can see there are 2.

>pic
Reminder that when the USSR deployed Yak-38s to the Kiev class """Heavy aircraft carrying missile cruisers""" they didn't have enough Yak-38s for a full compliment so they instead got the Yak-38s they had, cycled them on and off deck and repainted the number between each stint on deck to give the appearance of more aircraft.
Moving aircraft between airbases to give the fascimile of a greater number is not outside the Ru playbook. That 22 may also be an inflated figure as that includes the 9 or so prototypes along with the """production""" variant.
>it's only for parades >doesn't show up in parades
I can only assume the engine doesn't work without constant servicing/replacement and the mechs are busy refurbishing t-55s or busy being jn gulag
This fricking war has been an absolute awful time to be a slavaboo
Gone are my dreams of owning any ex-soviet equipment, cause NONE OF IT FRICKING WORKS
It’s obvious that the Russian MoD wasn’t happy with it. The simplest explanation is probably the right one: the MoD didn’t think it was worth the price, but the government and state-owned arms manufacturer and exporter had to pretend it was in was being procured in order to entice foreign buyers. Similar to other modern Russian arms development projects. The reason why there’s no Armatas is because the MoD doesn't want them, end of story.
Crazy to think russians are stupid enough to put a copy of a unreliable WW2 nazi engine in this thing, but I guess nothing should suprise me anymore...
> Crazy to think russians are stupid enough to put a copy of a unreliable WW2 nazi engine in this thing.
Kek, this surprise you? We’re talking about the same people who thought putting an engine into the T-90, that makes only slightly more torque than a Honda Jazz, was perfectly acceptable.
you are delusional. there's nothing in that picture.
I'm hiding one in my garage so Ukrainian Nazis don't blow it up 🙁
I call it the Pregnant Anne Frank tank.
Not saying
>I call it Pregnant Anne Tank.
Sad.
checked
I asume you cant post pics because of the risk of geolocating?
They ran out of cardboard for the turret, production has been delayed until 2030.
Checked.
Hiding her from Nazi Leopards I see.
>Pregnant Anne Frank
why are you still trying to force this meme, are you a literal pedophile
Go back you homosexual. The underage part isn’t the bad part. What’s disgusting is copulating with a israeliteess
based meme revisionist
Considering it's Confederacy wanking, revisionism is part and parcel.
What's wrong with being a literal pedophile?
>are you a literal pedophile
Yes, and that's a good thing
witnessed
Where are the Abrams?
I ate them
They were tasty
there are more Abrams in Ukraine than T-14s in existence
Shut up comrade, time to reactivate more T-55 units and T-10s
All of those men are probably dead by now lmao.

most people thought that it was because monke ordered every working tank to the front and there wasn't anything left for the parade.

I kneel to Monke
When has russian high command ever been held back by minor trifles like "legally not being allowed to do exactly the thing they plan on doing"?
Anon you may need to get your eyes checked, that's just bare concrete with one bored looking mobik in the background.
Right here comrade.
But seriously where are they? And what about the SU-57s?
Su57 is right here cumrade. As you can see there are 2.
>there are 2
this is getting out of hand
Su-47 is a beautiful bird, ngl
It belongs in a museum and a Russian defeat in Ukraine is probably the only way we'll ever get her there in time
Yeah, however that kind of defeat (complete liberation of Ukraine, regime change in Russia) is not going to happen. Instead we will get trench warfare until 202X and then some ceasefire after a million people would have died. This beaut will be long sold for scrap till then :/
such dirty, smelly looking planes in that pic..

what is that delta wing SU37 looking plane in the right picture (middle, on left hand side)
?
if you mean this fella its an Su-17, variable-sweep not a delta.
>SU-57s
Frick SU-57, i want to see some ZSU-57 for some double barrel action kino

Also, bomber gap incident
THEY'RE SENDING ABRAMS TO AVDIIVKA
SEND THE T14 TO AVDIIVKA
4K 60FPS FOOTAGE OF ABRAMS VS T14
QUIT KEKING US AND DO IT
Come on it wouldn't be a contest and you know it. The T14s screams would lead the Abrams right to it.
I DON'T CARE WHO WINS I JUST WANT TO SEE IT ANON
I care who wins and I still want to see the Armata BTFO in HD and perfect detail. The resultant zigger seething would be glorious.
Russia only built a handful of these things, and they don't work. That's why you don't see them in Ukraine
>and they don't work
because you said so
If they work. Why aren't they working in this particular war?
Because if one got knocked out, or worse, captured, it would shatter the fragile totalitarian ego of the system.
Where are they if they work? Why have we never seen any outside of parades? They’ve even broken down during parades.
They will be in War Thunder soon. Like 2S38.

If their yearly big military parade was a riot in 2023, just imagine the absolute state of tank corps in 2024.

It's pining for the front.
I was saying these things are mockups for years and I got called a jingoist burger stupid for underestimating Russia.
it's too advanced.
nato would crumble.
completed its mission and returned to base
on it's own power?
Small, corrupt MIC pls understand.
Hopefully added to warthunder soon, the american main seethe will be amazing to watch
War Thunder, more than this war even, has convinced me that Russians deserve to be purged from the face of the earth.
People are still playing rusBlack person thunder?
There's nothing else like it. I do enjoy my M1, M1128, M3A3, LAV-AD, A-6E, OH-85D lineup.
Christ man are you running that on a fricking Steam Deck?
This is the most hardware demanding game I play. And my PC is like 8 year old. I don't need better grafics.
Fair enough, the game can look pretty nice on high tho.
Are you enjoying the snail vatnik wiener in your ass?
After 10000 hours played, not really.
I don't support rusBlack person devs who quite literally support rusBlack person troops
Their HQ is located in Hungary and financial part on Cyprus. In a tax haven.
Weird type of support.

>WHERE THE FRICK IS IT
Never existed
He's hiding them for the secret level
Doesn't look like anything to me.
What?
The turret looks extremely vulnerable to FPV drones. Hell, it looks vulnerable to an RPG.
Anon that entire vehicle is vulnerable to a large pothole. It’s a non field ready prototype at best.
But then why would monke feature it in glorious parade???
Potemkin tank
it never existed
It never existed bro
Why aren't they wearing the Ratnik tanker gear?

Crazy to think russians are stupid enough to put a copy of a unreliable WW2 nazi engine in this thing, but I guess nothing should suprise me anymore...
debunked
Nice try zigger, but I'm sticking with the experts.
It’s been rebunked zigger
>debunked
You people are shameless. They’re literally both X-engines!
> Crazy to think russians are stupid enough to put a copy of a unreliable WW2 nazi engine in this thing.

Couldn't believe that shit either first time I heard it lol
What I'll never forget was some dumbass leaving the parking break on in that one parade. No shot, would a NATO tanker ever make that mistake.
>No shot, would a NATO tanker ever make that mistake.
Crazy the difference training can make, no cap
>thread turns into some dude talking to himself to bring up that one topic again
>/pol/
Nothing causes as much thirdie seething as the overwhelming material superiority of NATO
OH ITS A BIT OVER THEIR , A BIT OVER THEIR AND A BIT WAY OVER THEIR KEK
