Something way nastier seems to have happened in that area, if these kind of pictures bear out @Anmdt

At this point the pictures seem quite credible, given the video that is also out. Stay tuned to the thread for updates on the rest.

If you look at anmdt line drawing, I think the 3rd one corresponds to a service bay (or maybe its the torpedo launch bay) for the hangar area.....so smoke belched from its seams (or it might have been opened to vent) and discoloured the outside etc. The 1st and 2nd ones, they are likelier...

Some very pretty pictures @Chakib larbi , thanks!

There's a couple pictures now floating around (excuse the pun) of supposedly the Moskva after getting hit: ================== Assuming they are legit photos, there are a few observations: 1) The life raft canisters are missing, indicating that she has been abandoned; 2) The hangar doors...

The point is to have it as rarely as possible in a situation where its facing its counters alone. That goes for anything you have though.

His argument is more its extremely incompetent (in this era of combined warfare) to send purely tank formations into an enemy formation (of any kind) knowing they have a lot of anti-tank counters....and then declare the "tank is dead" etc. Just like sending infantry formations (with nothing...

He brings up several good points: Taking a slightly different tack on this debate. There has been much focus in recent years on the ability of various systems like drones and sensor-fuzed artillery to destroy tanks. Some have observed that the tank has been declared 'dead' several times, going...

It has popped up a number of times already....so its credibly prevalent to some degree rather than being insignificant or zero. Acquisition and deployment reforms have been absolutely horrid in Russia a long time....degrading from already bad situation in USSR times. They are "it will do"...

Oh I know...its more for any here still thinking different. There was one Russian def. min that tried to bring reform to the serious corruption present from top to bottom in Russian military, but he was promptly replaced by Shoigu who undid all those reforms back to the normal situation again.

Number of russian tanks are using fake ERA, basically hollow containers. Par for the course on actual state of Russian military resources.
