The Ultimate Plot Twist: Most Powerful U.S. Tank Falls Into Russian Hands | What Will Putin Do Next?

[@cokrlicix]

They are not going to try to reverse engineer it, they have more advanced tanks, they are going to examine it in order to find the best way to destroy it in the future.

Exactly. They might steal some ideas from these tanks too.

Russia will reverse engineer the good parts and create a NEW Abrahms with a flying turret

[@TorontoSaurusEx]

Clue # 1 : Turbine engine and heavy weight not great in the muddy wheat fields in rainy season.

[@WesleyFisher-vl2zs]

They are a good tank mske no mistake. They are heavy like the challenger. They require maintenance. Good armour protection will be looked at as well as the on-board armament and associated systems. No good on boggy land. OK in the dessert. A couple of years ago the found an old buried T40? tank. Pulled it out as was completely submerged. Cleaned the intake added fuel auxiliary battery used. Tried to start it and it started first time. Been buried for over 50 years. Russian made equipment used to be very basic bit reliable. Can withstand lack of maintenance and abuse but the bloody things still work.

[@teakkaye5364]

Russia is learning the Abrahms turret won't pop off so they are working on that problem and will try to use the data to get more altitude from the Armata turret

Russia does not need reverse engineering the west. Russia is far more advanced in military equipments. See Oreshniek.

[@teakkaye5364]

Oreshnik is a bad example of Russian technological prowess It is just a re-worked missile from the 1980's , the RS-36 Rubezh

[@fabianschrotter]

@@mr.g2195 Based on your spelling of "Oreshnik" it is obvious that you must be an expert. Oreshnik is a primitive 30-40 ton "ICBM" without a nuclear warhead which costs a lot more than its previous targets. The more often it is built and used, the sooner the Russian economy will collapse. All medium-range and long-range ballistic missiles are hypersonic anyway. It is probably the most overrated weapon developed in the 21st century. But the Russian pro pa ganda for the gullible works brilliantly.

This is a big mistake.. those tanks will be useless now. Russia will figure out all its weak points and strong points. It will use the strong point to add to their tanks and use the weak points to attack these tanks. Smh. USA just basically showed Russia all of its cards.

@objectivereason4846 How do you know the number of tanks destroyed. You mean the Soviet tanks destroyed by OTHER Soviet tanks? None too bright are you? Why do you think the Russians are employing some of their older tanks? Let me help you. They are keeping their better and newer tanks in reserve and they can do this because the Ukrainians were themselves using the exact same tanks. Why use your newest tanks when NATO are surrounding your borders? You are like the idiots who claim 95% of the entire Russian military is currently in Ukraine. If this is the case, NATO could simply walk into Russia. You cannot be this stupid.

[@yxmichaelxyyxmichaelxy3074]

@objectivereason4846 You mean the Soviet tanks that were sitting in storage not being used which is a waste? You know Soviet doctrine calls for the use of any war materiel regardless of their age, right? Why do you think they were kept in storage. Tell me what tanks the USA have besides the Abrams. I'll wait. The Soviets far-outproduced the entirety of NATO COMBINED in every aspect of weapons manufacture. Then came the collapse, leaving them no time to build entire brigades of tanks whilst the West continued their own slow production unabated. You act like the Soviet Union never collapsed whereupon there was no military production. As I said, you are rather stupid. I know Soviet history, Soviet doctrine, you do not.
