Bruh, VT-5 is superior to T90 let alone T-72. It was developed after MBT-2000.
Don't you see western style turret? Its ammo doesn't cook. That's the point.
My friend, you have get out of the notion that it sucks becuase it is Chinese. World is moving ahead faster than we think.
VT-4...
Not necessarily, here is VT-4 A1.
With advanced sensors + electronics and Active protection system. Cost around $6-6.5 millions only.
Less than half of Altay's cost. ($14-15 millions)
Also, if you make the turret unmanned you can reduce weight by 10 ton at least. Hence also the cost, as you...
Well, as it happens, there no such thing as idea scenario for Tank warfare. Once the enemy dug in and prepared the defensive line, the chances for a successful blitzkrieg becomes very very slim in today’s warfare. You can't avoid the necessary attrition.
Actually, F-35 has 3x generator each with 80kw output. But one of them is emergency. So it doesn't run. Hence, the sustained output is 160kw.
While for F-22 it has two generator each with 65kw output. Hence, in total it is 130kw.
Well, for militaries it is important not to learn the wrong lesson based on a single conflict.
To understand how this works is, Let's examine the scenarios that we observed in Ukraine campaign.
when a Tank thrusting thoward a well prepared defensive position-
1. first, it has to go through...
I wonder how much longer will it take for MRFA program to be realised.
Also, I read somewhere they may cut the numbers to 72 or something, and instead buy more Tejas. Do you think it would be a good idea?
@Isa Khan The tweet of Yusuf Akbaba mentioned Bangladesh bought Counter-UAS system. Which some folks interpreted as Koral EW. But that would be it incorrect. @yf120
@Anmdt how the heck 2500 ton diesel electric submarine cost $1.5 billion? almost as much as state of art Suffren class SSN!
I mean, no similar SSK is costing that much. Whether it is Japanese Teigei or Spanish S-80+.
F-35 is quite successful when considering the fact, it is essentially 3 platform in one airframe with a global supply chain and 17 operating nation and 20 operating services up to-date.
55% combat readiness is still superior to majority of world air Force's overall combat readiness. And USAF...
It doesn't get old does it?
I never thought we are gonna witness something as gorgeous as F-22. But here it is, in flesh and bones.
It is almost a continues torture of pain and joy simultaneously.
It is painful becuase every time I see this big boy, I am reminded that this is not ours and we...
