That thing is at minimum 66 years old
They were apparently produced all the way up to ‘81 in the USSR (‘83 in Czechoslovakia); so this one could be a spry, young 43 year old!
Ahh you are absolutely right, I had the design dates instead of the production dates
Is that thing shooting out of a fucking wardrobe?
Wonder why the turret cope cage extends to far behind?
It almost looks like they welded a shipping container to the turret lmao
Extra protection for the machine gunners asshole?
According to the “unboxing” video the AFU did of a captured turtle tank a few weeks ago, the main gun isn’t even functional. I’d be surprised if the machine gun works.
Whats the point of sending a tank into battle without its main gun non-functional? Intimidation? Very small APC? Its got a functioning engine and can drive faster than walking speed?
It’s basically just a ultra cheapo disposable APC. Tanks that were too broken to be refurbished after being stored in the open for half a century. The driver can barely see, there are no defensive weapons and the mobiks just ride along on top inside the “shed”. From what I’ve seen, they are not really expected to return after dropping off the troops.
If the orcs are down to sending out an “APC” that only holds 3 personnel (plus the driver), then this is looking good for Ukraine!
I think so too. Here’s the video if you’re interested in the details:
That sentence would really benefit from an apostrophe.
I was referring to the Dildo of Consequence.

Oh that whole thing is the cope cage! I thought it was just a building behind it or something.
