blow up as many of these fucking tanks as you can russia, idfc anymore edit: can someone translate please and thank you?
Let me try:
Tank shells type 3BM42 MANGO or 3BM59 are sent directly for aiming and dazzling the enemy and can even hit the commander behind the armor.
Attack the tank from above and from a safe distance! Leopard’s crew is sitting ''comfortably " between ammunition and fuel, give them fire/heat them up.
There is is ATGM with penetration over 500mm type cornet? Bay on the side armor resistance only 490mm rear of the tank.
Is there room for maneuver? Bypass and use ATGM with 500mm penetration!
I hope it’s accurate, Russian, Serbo-Croatian and all other Slavic languages are pain in ass to translate to English.
tank u, comrade (smirks)
Can’t wait to use those methods
The Leopard squid is sharp bet bc and fuel
I think you only got this bit weirdly. It says "Leopard’s crew is sitting “comfortable " between ammunition and fuel”. The rest is spot on
Fixed, thanks, it’s really pain to translate in English, especially Slavic languages, Arabic and Chinese.
Happy to help!
My favorite part is when someone climbs up, just tosses grenade inside and jumps back down
It’s incredibly dangerous if the tank have any cover.
That used to be common in WW2
I recently learned that land mines were created to take out tanks. Not saying they should be used since Europe has issues with land mines being everywhere, plus they’re horrifying. Just thought I’d share that. I don’t know why I’m making this comment.
Land mines require a degree of recon work, I would imagine - to determine routes from which the tanks wll advance. Plus, you know, it’s a defensive weapon. Plus there are systems of removing/creating breaches in the minefields.
Plus Ukraine has enough problem with mines already. Remember that time AFU lobbed a bunch of Lepestok anti-personell mines at Donetsk? Yeah.
Yeah definitely not suggesting mines, this only reminded me of a conversation with a friend about land mines. I was saying how devastating they are and I didn’t understand why they exist, he told me it was for tanks. So seeing a post about defenses against tanks just reminded me of that.
Frankly I’m somewhat concerned about mention of ATGMs with specifically over 500 mm penetration. It seems to imply anything less, or perhaps an RPG would not work. Plus the only mention of using tank shells is to “blind” the tank, not destroy it.
And frankly comparison to “grandfather beating tigers and panthers” is distasteful
“blinding” is nothing to shy about. I’m not up to my Russian, but I think it says it’s vulnerable to blinding.
At any rate, if you use a sufficiently explosive shell and destroy a tank’s scopes, it’s basically dead against a fully operational tank, especially if the blind tank relies too much on computer-assisted aiming (which the Leopard does). Blinding first, destroying second is a common tactic in encounters against heavy tanks.
What, did you expect tanks to just fall apart of their own accord? And 490 MM is nothing, the Soviet RPG-7 which entered service in 1961 can penetrate 650 MM with ERA The Kornet can penetrate 1300 MM.. 490 MM is hardly intimidating.
I expected at least some mention of tank usage, beyond “blind it”
Fair, but tank-on-tank battles are pretty rare. Most destroyed Russian tanks were with Javelins, and most destroyed Ukrainian tanks were with Kornets, Izdeliye 105Es, Lancets, etc. etc. It’s become a sort of standoff war with tanks functioning as long range “artillery” battering rams of sorts. Here’s an example of footage from a Lancet destroying an AD system:
Ultimately, Leopards and Abrams are doomed to failure because they’re trying to meet the T-series head on, while the Russians will just potshot them with ATGMs and drones.
Izdeliye 105E
Which one’s that? I am not familiar with this code.
Ultimately, Leopards and Abrams are doomed to failure because they’re trying to meet the T-series head on, while the Russians will just potshot them with ATGMs and drones.
Thing is, that is what the Ukrainians (and NATO stans) used to say. Except, you know, about Russian tanks.
Product 105E is a BVR (beyond visual range) munition. Fired by a helicopter crew, the missile can change targets based on the operator’s whims, and you can fire without knowing where exactly the target is. It’s basically accurate to the centimeter, just not ridiculously powerful. It’s especially potent when destroying buildings, because it can precisely fly through windows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVpZucBYqnk
Thank you
no problem

that’s insane. even the type 99 tank can only penetrate 960mm at most. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_99_tank why aren’t tanks being mounted with weapons like the kornet?
IIRC Kornets are so expensive the Russian military doesn’t actually plan to replace existing systems with them. It’s just too costly. Elite Russian units use it as an anti-tank weapon or with the thermobaric warheads against infantry groupings, but it’s not the most common weapon used by Z units.
Edit: Russia also has a “Kornet truck”, what an actual superweapon
