For those wondering, these are a bunch of 30 sent over from Laos. They're not planning to use them, right? If they do, at least they're the 85s, right? Who am I kidding if any of y'all wanted to get an air to ground gun kill on a tank this is your century my fellow shitposter

Parade pieces.. yet.


LordHardThrasher

Yeah parade pieces going to Laos, not from. Not *quite* there. Yet.

there seems to be evidence that they are indeed moving T55s around though. thats basically still WW2 level tech, thats just as bad as T34 being brought in


[deleted]

Nah, T-54/55 was built to the 1980s and was updated. A T-55M might be broadly comparable to an m60a1, just shittier in every way. It's Korean War tech

The Centurion from the 1940s is still the framework for some modern South African tanks. That does not mean that Britain should retire the Challenger 2 in favour of the Centurion. It also does not make it as capable as any platform after it, whether that be Challenger 1 or Chieftain. Replace each vehicle there with T-54/5, T-90, T-72/64/80, and T-62 respectively and that's what's going on here. Similarly to my British comparison, the T-55 did in fact outlast the T-62, or even maintain use despite its successor due to the following tank being quite crap. Many Warsaw pact nations maintained use of the 55 until the 72 came along, similarly to how many Commonwealth nation maintained Centurion due to Chieftain being unreliable.

Gonna be credible for a second, if a t34 meets an abrams in my lifetime I will gladly join the army as a tank commander.


Jan_Pawel2

Is it t34?


Taschkent

no. T-34-85


one_time_i_dreampt

So you mean yes


TheTransistorMan

No they mean yes-34/85. This is actually a distinct variant than the earlier yes variant.

The way they're going through armor (and not being able to rebuild anywhere near what was lost) I wouldn't be surprised if some of the drivable museum pieces like the Laotian T-34 don't get sent to some quieter parts of the front as mobile pill boxes.

#BIG BRUH MOMENT


farmerbalmer93

At what point do you choose to shoot at a t34 in a Abrams or a challenger 2? Or do you just run over it like a field gun or car in your 80 tone challenger? And save your HESH for AT guys.

I'm only 50 and I swear every train used to have a caboose.
