===========================
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.

Same goes for russia.

[@sary7154]

@@StrontiumXC While the T-90 and other T-series units of tanks, there is no doubt that in a one-on-one confrontation with a modern tank - say the Israeli Merkaba or the German Leopard 2 - the modern tank will emerge victorious in such a battle. The United States does not truly need to send tanks to the conflict in question, however that isn't to say they don't need to send aiding firepower to Ukraine. However, should the United States send any variation of the Abrams tank, it would surely trample any Russian force if Ukrainian tank crews are properly trained and the vehicles are granted full logistical support. Although this itself is not without risks; the United States has sent almost entirely defensive aid; tanks, specifically main battle tanks such as the Abrams, are primarily offensive weapons, and thus should never be donated unless the fall of Ukraine is on the line, and by proxy, Eastern Europe.

[@Stunkos]

@@StrontiumXC The US sending M1A1s instead of A2s was because they didn't have any A2's ready to go since the US still uses that model. So they just took some A1s they had in storage, stripped the DU armor out of them, touched them up and sent them over. But they wouldn't do this for their own soldiers because there's no point when you have better everything in the A2. The *only* reason T-14s have never seen combat is because it would be too embarrassing for Russia to lose one since their culture and government is based around saving face. The US is still planning on sending A2s as well but the A1s were meant to hold them over.

The Bradleys didn't "kill" the T-90M, they merely rendered it useless, defenseless and ultimately _harmless._ Point still stands: Bradleys took the field and won, T-90M sucks ass, russia is a fascist shithole and you're a fool for defending it.

@icezinho_ and? It was disabled before it was destroyed, it was rendered combat ineffective by the Bradleys. No matter how you slice it disabling the tank is a win for the Bradleys, it was blind and stuck before the drone finished it off, a blind and stuck tank can't fight. The Bradleys caused that, that's a win for the Bradley.

It's a story so old and tired that even its rebuttal has become cliche: *both* the Russians and the Americans had tried using pencils, the Americans replaced them with "space pens" because they didn't want graphite dust getting into the electronics and fucking them up... and the Russians ended up buying the American space pens as well.

According to western 'experts' if a vehicle drive 'breaks down' (even though it didn't), suffers from delays in serial production and some software bugs persist it is a shit and useless tank. There are tanks that have been stuck between the development phase and production phase for much much longer than T-14 despite being far less revolutionary, such as the Turkish Altay tank.

[@UberFubarius]

Abrams' nickname "the whipsering death" was not a joke. Turbine is actually very quiet due to its high frequency noise profile. Yes, it sounds REALLY loud up close, but because it's a high pitch whine the noise quickly fade away at distance and is easily mistaken for wind. So you get a tank noise profile that just went from "faint whipsering in the air" to "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BANSHEE SCREAM!?" when it gets to a range that it can probably run you over in 3 more seconds.
