“The Russians are still fighting WWII”
it sure looks that way ... and MOSTLY with what looks like WWII vintage equipment ...
Are they padlocking them in the turrets yet?
I have not seen the Russians using any WWII armored vehicles in any of the photos/film clips I’ve watched for the last 6 weeks. The two photos on this thread are of a 2S19 152mm sp gun, which was introduced in the 1990’s.
The only WWII tank I have seen was a T-34 war monument that the Russians opened fire at as they went through a Ukrainian town.
A key problem with the Russian army is the same as during WWII and the Cold War: the lack of a profession NCO corps. They tried to create one as part of the 2012 “reforms” and failed. And their logistics support is nearly non-existent.
You have no idea what you are seeing obviously, with the comments about WWII equipment and padlocking turrets.
The Russian tanks are using mostly upgraded T-72s and some T-80s.
