Thats not a tank though, that’s 406mm selfpropelled howitzer. Pretty unpractical though.
“Tank” was in quotation marks because the average normie does not understand the difference between an “artillery gun” which shoots projectiles at targets over a flat trajectory to hit it in its face and a “howitzer” which combines the projectiles and firing mechanism of an “artillery gun” with the general trajectory of a mortar shell.
But of course, the Kondensator was not a practical weapon.
Counterpoint: we are tankies tho
I mean, the Pion self-propelled gun could also fire nuclear shells. It was a whole thing at the time.
Oh and for the record, Ukraine has Pions.
Something tells me Ukraine is more on the recieving end of the biggest practical land artillery guns.
Russia – 60 2S7M in active service, 260 2S7 in reserve as of 2022.[22] Modernisation with new running gear and electronics completed as of December 2021.
That is so, but it is also a recorded fact. I am sure you have heard of the incident with shelling of a shopping mall in Ukraine? Their government then claimed it was a “war crime” and “ebil russkies trying to kill civilians”. But the video materials from AFU soldiers themselves had revealed it was used to store artillery shells - among them 203 mm Pion.
Yeah, like every single time UA accuse Russia of deliberately shelling civilian targets, there’s munition depot there. And i’m not surprised at all UA still retains a lot of soviet artillery since Soviet Union had the most advanced artillery doctrine in the world and the equipment itself is still very relevant since barrel artillery is one of the easiest to upgrade weapons. And the current war confirmed that it remains not only as relevant as always on the modern battlefield, but most likely even more. And guess who would emerge from the war with the most experienced artillery corps in the world.
