The Beast is back!....Russia's T-55 rolls again!

[1srelluc]

It seems that the Russians have a shit-ton of the 100mm rounds stored away that the T-55 uses so why not put them back in service? Tanks are now being used as mobile artillery so it makes some sense.

Sure "Saint Javelin" will brew them up in a hurry but what happens when you come-up against 10 T-55s but only have five Javelins or their equivalent?

Hey, maybe the squareheads can send the Ukes some old Panzerfausts.

The irony is the only outdated barely functional things our government keeps around seems to be half of congress and our POTUS.

 

[Confederate Soldier]

That seems like a cry for help.

 

[odanny]

You gotta do what ya gotta do. Who are the unlucky souls who have to crew it? Make sure you have your affairs in order, it's like being in a German U-boat late in the war.

so try to say - THE mobile coffins BACK ?

IVAN : Let’s send hundreds of these mobile coffins out on the battlefield to waste our enemy’s ATGMs. One ATGM spent against a T-55 is one less ATGM against our T-90. Great Muscovite strategy ! Probably.
Will we see the Muscovites sending any T-34s or T-35 before this war is over?

You don't need Javelins to kill T-55s, old Vietnam era LAWS will do the job.

The drone footage gets crazier by the day.

I wonder what the range on that gun is. You comment that tanks are being used as mobile artillery, then these old shits could be useful just laying back and lobbing in rounds without being in much danger unless some breakthrough gets Ukronazi troops within anti tank weapon range.

Haven't seen one of them in a long while. Wonder if there are any around.

Russians

The T54 is actually a 1945 design. Though these are all 1951 or later versions as the turret changed along with other things. But still, this is like if the Americans sent M47s or the Brits sent Centurions.

If Muscovia is forced to deploy T-55s, it means they don't have anything newer in enough quantities. That means, after T-55s are destroyed, we will see T-34s. I'm not even joking....

This is a Russian soldier who was in Kherson, he goes by the callsign "13th". His telegram channel is worth reading. The Google translations aren't perfect, but you get the meaning.

Thirteenth.
As for the tanks.

A video surfaced on the Internet, where a train of ancient T-55s was walking, bureaucrats and sofa experts instantly began to come up with an excuse that this was equipment for checkpoints ... or to take spare parts from it. What the hell are roadblocks? This is not Chechnya, the Chechen fighters did not have such an army and weapons.

What is going on?
T-55, T-62.....
"Deep modernization"?

The presence of a simple thermal imaging sight and "contact-1" does not make a modern car out of a tank of the sixties and seventies.

Where is the fire control system, where is the panoramic sight of the tank commander, where is the modern cannon and modern shells, where is the least bit adequate armor, where is the normal walkie-talkie and communications equipment, where is the powerful engine, but ... All this is not there. There are old worn-out tanks from conservation, that's all. Fight as you wish.

With the same success, you can put a Chinese tepak on a muzzle-loading gun of the 18-19th century, give analog baofengs to the calculation and say that this is for checkpoints and for the third line, and in general is almost in no way inferior to modern Western models. Fucked up.

Then another video on Russia24 will show how “our brave mobilized nightmares strengthened the Ukronazis from a unicorn of the 1804 model that was modernized at Uralvagonzavod”
