    Their automatic loading system is optimized for fire rates, but not safety.

    The autoloader can fire every 10 seconds. An Abrams crew can fire… Every 4. NATO tanks are faster.

    More Russian tanks also only matter if they ARE comparable. But they’re not. For example, the “new engine” is an old Nazi design that was, and is still, famous for breaking down. They use thermal sights! Left over from the French.

    Russians die AND they’re slower. All glory to the motherland.

    There was no brain drain then

    You should look up what brain drain means.

    Unfortunately no.

    Fortunately for them yes? At least they’re not dying in ukraine with sunflower seeds in their pockets.

    Russians have passively understood by now about modern warfare, it’s all about information, planning, coordination

    Right!! That’s why the invasion of ukraine was so quick! Plan for three days, the planning and coordination they passively understand means it’s… Still going. 4 years later.

    Tanks have no place in that.

    It’s a darn good thing, too, since Russia has only built what, 30 T14s since 2015? Can’t rely on something you can’t build!

    And you’re right. Tanks have no place in modern warfare. That’s why Russia saber rattles so hard when western nations give or sell tanks to Ukraine, because they’re just so useless.

    I think oil money that buys western components for weapons can buy expertise in areas of interest.

    True!! If only they would stop putting that foreigner expertise straight onto the front lines. What a waste.
