Converted to pounds the amount is similar, and the battlefield is no place for antiques.

LOL

Don't tell the Russians, they're showing off T-55s!

We know this because the unit operating the T-55s, the 1430th Motorized Rifle Regiment, proudly showed off the 1950s-vintage tanks in a video on its official Telegram channel on or just before Sunday.

The video depicts the 1430th MRR’s conscripts with early-model T-55s sporting L-2G infrared spotlights atop their D-10T 100-millimeter main guns.

The spotlight, and any target it illuminates, is visible in the T-55 gunner’s active infrared sight out to a distance of several hundred yards. The problem is, the spotlight also is visible to any enemy forces with infrared optics.
