If those numbers are accurate, then yes they won’t do squat.

Interesting, only Ukrainians refer to Russians as Orcs.

Really!! You know now that others also refer to them as they behave - like rapacious Orcs.

War criminals identified: identification data of scouts of the Russian 64th Motorized Rifle Brigade

And it very doubtful that the Orcs will commit suicide over the Ukraine by using nukes. The fallout alone will trigger a NATO response.

Rapacious? You talk as if they are sub-human. Yet the Azovs have been shelling civies for eight years. How about the admitted war crimes against Russian POWs? Ukrainian drones with chemical/biological weapon sprayers installed. The ethnic beatings of their own citizens. The biolabs. The racial laws. We can go round and round, but until Russia and Ukraine treat each other (and their citizens) with Christian respect and live up to their treaties, we should just mind our own business.

As I have stated before, if a NATO-Russia war starts Biden will bail on Europe and leave them high and dry. A bunch of other NATO countries will bail as well. Biden intends to wreck Pax Americana for all time.

You propagandists are all alike - spouting this and that - give it a rest. Its tedious.

I didn't get into the details of why that isn't a T-90M.

1. The metal grid or cage all around is missing.
2. the wheel guards are not not on that tank. Some small pieces of the wheel guard is on the ground.
3. Note the barrel I think it's a cooling device or thermal shroud isn't placed right. That looks more like the older M829A2 canon.
This is a 2a82-1m gun used on the T-90M


thermal shroud is larger on this pic. note: it's placed as far forward more so then the older cannon 2A46M-5


I think the gun in that pic is a 2A46M-1 used on early T-90 versions. note the placement of the thermal shroud. These thermal shrouds are also a threaded extension for the barrel they can't be moved.

I am the propagandist? So, it’s not wrong when you do it?

Why are you a fellow American patriot siding with an Obama/Soros stooge, when they trying to start WWIII?

The moment this goes sideways and Russian saboteurs (or Antifa) start blowing stuff up here, Biden gets to declare martial law. And people like you and me, well, we “are the greatest threat in the history of the United States”...

They are shooting for end game. They are willing to let Europe burn. Stop helping them.

It looks to me it was a T-90 early version. Not Russia's latest and greatest. I haven't been paying attention this this stupid war. Doesn't Ukraine have T-90 tanks?

Mostly T-64s at the start; they’ve captured a bunch of Orc tanks of all varieties, but which ones still exist - no idea.

look here:
https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html

they list it as a T-9M; they use the same image to ID it. They are familiar with all the varieties and so on. they will correct it, should new info become available

UA captured 9 T-90As. there are 94 unknowns - not IDed tanks.
