Even if Putin isn't a Jew, although strangely he was given a greeting for Jew in Israel, Putin is the literal opposite of based. It's no surprise the homosexual Mexican midget backs fellow manlet Putin, despite decrying him before, it's frankly sad how some sensible men idolise that Zionist (minded) dictator.

I don't know why but that reminds me of this parody song about Putin who was once on Youtube but reuploaded elsewhere.
 
Kinda. The T-64 was built at Kharkiv. That's why they kept them. They have all the tooling and equipment. They also have major refurbishment depots in Lviv, Dnipro, and Zaporizhzhia. The issue they are running into is that the old stored vehicles basically need to be gutted as all the lines and wiring and fittings and hinges and everything is rusted and rotten and leaky. They have a lot of old hulls to work with, more than they could ever use, but it is a lot of work putting them back into service.

Western tanks have active protection systems that work. T-14 is supposed to have one and the newest version of T-90 is supposed to have a system derived from Armata's as well. But alas.
From what I could find out looking into it before this started, they can do the full refurb treatment, and were doing so constantly since 2014, but they lacked the ability to make new complete tanks. They can make other light armored vehicles, so I'm not sure entirely what the issue was with that.

IIRC some bizraeli company does all kinds of upgrades for these and T72s, they been doing those for the indians adding new fire controls, thermals, datalinks, etc

But unless the bizraelis are willing to do lendlease (never ever) then the ukies are shit outta luck

ARENA, its good but just like all similar systems it destroys all infantry near the tank when used

Plus if ruskies cant even get thermals on even their newer t90 tanks odds are they dont have enough of these either

The Israelis are just one country offering those packages, several others do as well. The polish have their own t72 upgrade called the pt91 twardy for example. Hell I'm pretty sure some US companies do as well.
 
Nigger thats what "compromise" means, get it? and you think the ukies are gonna be happy about basically capitulating part of their country to ruskie separatists? crimea going from being a lease to a permanent foreign base? after 8 years of civil war and a russian invasion? keep in mind the "reparations" in this case will be on paper, if ruskies decide not to pay then nothing happens, but the point is to end this shit
That's not a compromise that any Russian government could ever accept at this point. I'm going to assume that you have never talked to a Russian and have no idea how crucial it is to them to have it. Imagine if America went to war with Mexico, and then as a "compromise" to end it the Mexicans got California but America got to keep military bases on it. You're also ignorant of the fact that Russia could have made the Donbas autonomous as that was part of the real compromise to end the war a few years ago, but decided against it. If Russia ends the war with less than it started with, then no Russian would see it as a compromise, they would see it as a loss. All the more if Russia had to pay reparations even on paper to what they have called a Nazi regime.

You are so clueless about this conflict that I'm afraid I took some bad bait.
 
how does it work? does it intercept missiles mid flight? how?
Arena was tested in Afghanistan against RPG-7’s. It sort of worked, the issue is any nearby infantry got turned to pulp because it acted like a giant shotgun blast to intercept the projectile.
EDIT
I mixed up arena and one of its predecessor programs, which was fielded in Afghanistan in the 80’s.

That was the prior system, arena is a product of the 90s. I'm actually surprised we haven't seen more of it, even given how slow the Russians have been picking up new gear since then.
 
I find it hard to root for Russia just because it is, after all, an invasion. Do we really want to live in a world where it's again accepted that a country may invade its neighbors? In this instance, it's on suspicions it will join a defensive alliance. I don't like the status quo but I don't know if this is the new status quo I want.

I don't know why you think the Ukries would make such bold demands because pretty much Ukraine doesn't have the capabilities to either take Crimea or Donbass back.

They also don't have any hostage chip like an entire encircled Russian army or Putin himself to have Russia by the balls.

It's the other way around, the Ukries need to be concerned that there is a significant possibility of encirclement in Donbass by Separatist and Russian forces and many cities are also encircled or are about to be encircled.

Yeah, edited the post to clarify. Arena to me seems like more Russian vaporware, of which there’s been a fuckload of over the last couple decades.

America has been doing invasions for decades. It already is the norm, so long as you’re part of the “good guys.”
