It seems that the tank issue in Russia is quite painful...

After all, not for nothing, first Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council

of Russia, praised the T-90, which is the worst upgrade of the T-72B,

and after Putin, said that Russia will produce 1600 tanks in 3 years...

Seriously?

In general, the word "produces", can be understood in different ways.

For example, production from scratch, that is to make a brand new tank - a new combat unit. And you

can mean pulling tanks out of mothballs, repairs, and perhaps even modernization. But this is not

the production of a new combat unit, but exactly what the Russian military-industrial complex is.

Today the Russian military-industrial complex is not manufacturing, but the restoration, repair,

and modernization of tanks. So the very notion of "producing" sounds manipulative.

But what else can we expect from them?

While the Russian mass media is telling consumers of information

fast food that the T-62 tank (not produced since 1975) is the best tank in the world,

and Russian television is trying to explain the removal from storage of the T-54 and T55

(adopted for service in 1946), Putin is talking about production of 1600 tanks!

Over the past years the Russian military industrial complex has reported deliveries

to the Russian Army of between 160 and 300 tanks per year. At the same time,

they were not new tanks, but modernized cars that were in service, or removed from conservation.

That is, the maximum potential of transfer of such equipment was 25 tanks per month.

As for the production, mass production of the T-72 and T-80 in Russia was stopped in 1998,

and the T-90 has not been put into series production since 2011.

The tank building industry in Russia was kept entirely on repair and modernization potential.

What conclusions can we draw from this?

The conclusion is simple - the Russian leadership is well aware of what is going

on with their tank production. And they are lying,

trying to appease the domestic consumer of information, while scaring NATO with their

"capabilities. But their capabilities are already well known, so this is just cheap clownery.

Especially for those who talk about how T-54 and 55 tanks are very useful and

will be used effectively as artillery, I just want to ask, what is the difference

between the functionality of use between s self-propelled howitzers and tanks?

What is the functional difference between a tank and artillery barrel?

The difference in load and pressure on the barrel at an increasing angle? Why a Soviet

tank barrel has a life of 300-600 rounds, and an artillery barrel has a life of 1000-1200?

Do you know how many shells for this type of tanks are in Russian warehouses and storage

centers for T-54/55 tanks? What are their current characteristics, after 50 years of storage?

Artillery that hits at a distance of up to 2,500

meters ? With triple the load on barrels that have exhausted their service life ?

What is the sense in such artillery,

if the Ukrainian side will not arrange meat waves, as the enemy did?

It SHOOTS! Yes, it shoots. An axe can also liquidate a machine gunner. But how many such

berserkers would die in the field before they could throw the first axe at a machine gunner?

Let's close the delusional conclusions and arguments

on a topic that does not require discussion.

Before I continue, I ask you to subscribe to my channel, it will help promote it.

Now let's go back a few months. In May 2022 the first trains and columns with T-62 tanks

appeared in the war zone in Ukraine. Then a number of experts began to sharply state that these tanks

would not be in the first line, but would serve as "artillery", being "buried" in the positions.

A buried tank is nonsense. But for some reason most are pulling this narrative already in 2023,

including in the comments under my videos !

If you don't believe in logic and rationalism, in assessing the functionality of T-62 or T-54/55

tanks, there is a wonderful resource Oryx, which gives factual information. Open their site and

just estimate how many buried T-62 destroyed, damaged and became a trophy there ? How many ?

You can see the answer on the screen, the same story will be with T-54/55.
