  1. And The Indian Army over the years has purchased shitloads of that junk.

  2. Even if they were good, poor strategy always leads to a loss.

  3. About twice as many as Russia had prior to the war. 

  4. I wonder what happened to all the Abrams tanks in the war? Last I heard they were being kept at the back out of fear of Drones.

    Drones are a great leveler.

  5. Pat yourself on the back when Putin is defeated, not before. 

  6. Claiming that everything your country does is the best is just how authoritarianism works.

  7. Not that T-90s are the best, but im sure they are not bad.

    But even amazing equipment gets destroyed in wars, thats normal. Especially if you use it like a complete moron. Right after you send a disposable human wave attack that just gets cut down by concentrated artillery and machine gun fire, and not even blink.

  8. Thankfully they were only lost, not blown up by Ukrainians.

    They’ll probably find their tanks behind a couch or in a drawer or something.

  9. >Best tank in the world

    I guess they should have made the best infantry fighting vehicle in the world instead, considering that a Bradley can take one out.

  10. They very well could be the world’s best tanks, but with poor strategy/leadership/training/discipline their specs don’t really mean anything.

    You can’t expect a middle schooler to just pick up the “worlds best sniper rifle” and start picking off targets at 800m

  11. I saw a Bradly take one out with its main gun that’s a machine made in the 80s taking out a brand new top of the range tank.

  12. Unless you make a giant leap forward and like skip a generation of tech. Even the “best” tank in the world is still going to only be marginally better than its counterparts and it’s going to be far from impervious.

    If Russia wasn’t so insane about its rhetoric around its Military equipment this would be a small story. But no they claim everything is the best ever and a world beater and 1 is worth 10 of its western counterparts. It’s just silly, the US and the west also hype up their equipment but it’s usually just so much more grounded in reality. They’ll tell you all the reasons an Abrahams is a great tank and name the things it is supposedly best at but never to the extremes that Russia does. It’s just comical the narratives they push. Maybe the T90 really does outclass its western counterparts in lots of ways. But even then it still would not even close to the hype their propaganda machine gives it.

  13. Having learned a lesson the master strategist introduced new super weapon that will change the battle field … golf carts.

  14. In drones vs tanks, the tank version doesn’t matter much. Most are really vulnerable in the rear where the engine is. 500mm steel in the front is worth shit if you fetch a grenade in the engine.

  15. Imagine if Ukraine had air superiority… those tanks wouldn’t move.

    Times change and tanks are not what they used to be.

    That and the top down attack launchers are making mince meat of how tank armor is distributed.

  16. Nah dude they lost 20000 come on now. These are rookie 2022 numbers !!

  17. Putin was also on video claiming that no one could defeat the russian army, and they can’t even knock over the corner store down the street.

    Submitting request to change the name of “Russia” to “Putin’s Echo-Chamber of Masturbation”
