Russian Turtle Tank: "a rolling chicken farm"

Russia's 'Turtle Tanks' are continuing to evolve and proliferate to other sectors of the frontline. In this comprehensive video we examine sightings of the 'Tsar Mangal' tanks, their variations and how they have continued to evolve.

Well I think we all owe Bob Semple an apology at this point as he didn't design the worst tank ever

[@Hetzrr]

I mean, this isn't exactly a "terrible" design as the useless Bob Semple tank was, it's not great by any means, but can still be effective in combat provided the right tactics and crew. This is no different than essentially a fixed anti tank gun.

The Holy Triangle of firepower, mobility and protection got flattened.

That poor transmission. Poor thang

[@Max_Da_G]

Transmission is fine. T-72 driveline can take weight increases up to 50 tonnes, and this cupola won't weigh more than 1 tonne. With T-73B3 '2023 weighing no more than 46 tonnes, this is acceptable.

Infantry advances and uses drones so mechanized units respond reverting to WW1 tank design😂😂😂

These tanks are interesting dont mind if I do ;)

turtle tank has been a huge success- drones have changed modern warfare forever and all tanks will either need this type of armour or be sitting ducks

BAHAHAHAHA! What the hell is it. Looks like something I would have constructed when I was a young boy.😂😂😂😅😅

[@Max_Da_G]

Basically a drone-proof shell. Which also provides great protection from light anti-tank weapons.

[@nlomas]

I’m pro Ukraine but this concept of a ‘heavy tank’ isn’t new and actually may have a place if designed from scratch as such and including a mine roller as standard

[@chuckbuck5002]

I hope this isn’t its top speed. And I really wanna know how little they can see out of that thing.

[@DaReaperZ]

A vehicle purpose made for it could work. Best case scenario would be these tanks being made from hulls where the turret for whatever reason doesn't work. The problem with heavy tanks nowadays is that they're a far too easy target for artillery, bombs or missiles

[@norbertszekeres867]

The mine roler is good , but how do you aim it , visibility is worse than standard t72 (i gues thats something i never thaught i would say) besides cas arty atgm would shred it , protection against fpv's is still up in the air

[@azkrouzreimertz9784]

We are gonna end up with WH40k size tanks

@@azkrouzreimertz9784To be fair, the Leman Russ looks like someone slapped a comically oversized turret on a Mark IV anyways.

The Russians have historically innovated during wars. They are tenacious and ingenious.

[@stewartevans9753]

Also a little bit fkin stupid! 😮

[@FXGreggan.]

You're kidding right? Technology-wise russia has always been decades behind west and asia.. and the gap will continue to grow as most russian engineers and smart people have either left the country or is fertilizer on a Ukraininan field somewhere...

[@olliefoxx7165]

@FXGreggan. I've studied history a long time. There are periods of Russian history where they were behind most of Western Europe. You understand, things change right? The Russians have evolved and improved their situation. In case you haven't noticed, all of Nato has sent hundreds of billions of dollars and used their best technology to try and destroy Russia. They have kept Ukraine going through massive amounts of material, technology, money, and assistance. If Russia is so backward, why haven't the supposed superior Nato forces beat the Russians? Why hasn't the West triumphed in Ukraine?

[@Offa_]

@@FXGreggan. "Decades behind" has got to be some of the most NAFO-nerd shit I ever seen. I ain't no Russian meat-rider, but the performance of modern Western equipment in Ukraine has proved pretty clearly that Russia's allegedly "inferior" equipment is on the same par as Western equipment. The only ones saying Russia's technology is inferior are Western officials and government funded media outlets. Give credit where credit is due.

[@FXGreggan.]

@@Offa_ Not quite, west goes for quality, russia goes for cheap but lots of it.. which tactic will win the war I ofc leave unsaid as the invasion is still ongoing.. yes russia no doubt makes deadly weapons, but we all see how useless russian armor is (as lives are cheap and easily replaced) an russian air defense system have become a global joke - can't even shoot down a single HIMARS rock, not even ATACMS which is huge in comparison... Where's the russian airforce and its Black Sea Fleet? oh right - they converted them to submarines.
