Just send in the warthogs and take them out.
Sounds big enough to make short work of Up Armored Humvees or Strykers - one burst on target.
In the first Iraq war, they had Russian tanks and were boasting about those these “desert” tanks were superior to the Abrams.
Then, the USA rolled in with GPS and one-shot all those wittle tanks while moving at the same time before the Iraq tanks could even get in range. It was amazing.
So if this thing has a good fire rate, okay. What about it’s tracking ability because the Abrams won’t be sitting still and it will be hitting you at a good range. This Russian tank seems better suited in urban situations.
Looks like they’re still making the mistake of putting the ammunition around the base of the turret so one good hit will blow the vehicle like an explosive bolt.
Funny thing about armor piercing rounds is they will pass thru lightly armored vehicles without doing much damage unless it hits a hard spot like the engine block.
They lost me early in the article. I have a passing familiarity with Soviet armor during the Second World War, but I’ve never heard of a T-34-57. The initial T-34 design deployed in combat had a 76 mm gun and is typically known as the T-34/76.
I don’t know of any Soviet tank destroyers or self-propelled guns which mounted a 57 mm gun.
Besides, if the gun is firing at 300 rounds / minute, how much ammunition can be carried? These are not small rounds.
Russian propaganda is frequently clumsy.
Thats great and all but one Hellfire 2 missile can destroy any known armor on earth.
