The T-14 Armata tank sucks - Lazer Pig |
2023-03-23 |
[YouTube] In the beginning, there was nothing. And that's when the arguments started. The T-14 Armata, the first Russian tank to be produced since the fall of the Soviet Union (yes I am aware 'Soviet' means Union so technically I just said Union Union, this is a common thing in language and no one is impressed when you point one out shut up) has been revered by many as a God among tanks, a new age in armored warfare that will re-define what it means to be in a tank while shooting other tanks and the people who have to think about how those people in those tanks should shoot the other tanks would have to throw out everything they know and re-think, from scratch, the art of shooting people in tanks while also being inside of a tank. But it is all hyped up to be, or has a country with a propaganda budget larger than some countries GDP's fooled us all? Watch the video and find out. |

#5 /\ Well, Deacon Blue, one purpose of a sloped hull is to ricochet rounds and having an overhanging turret does seem like a "bullet trap"...especially frontally. So, yeah, that does look like a peculiar turret design. |

#4 It looks like it would be easy to put a round between the turret and the hull. Game over. |

#3 yes I am aware 'Soviet' means Union so technically I just said Union Union, No, it does not. 'Soviet' means council. 'Soyuz' means union. |

#2 Many of the same people who hate every US aircraft built since the F-14 Tomcat was retired revere this tank that has never seen battle. |
