Russian Invasion of Ukraine Megathread

[Male Idiot]

Theoretically can those tanks be useful as a defense asset? How do their main gun compares to the ukranian missile launchers in range? You could give them to militias if they can outrange the missile launchers on open terrain and just make them be basically mobile turrets to defend stuff in open areas and free up more modern stuff for better usage.

T-62s were indeed spotted in Melitopol in a train, but there's no proof they're being deployed yet.

... Ah. Okay, I take my words back then.

Personally they may be used as decoys but not much else.

Not only that, these tanks may be used for both aim practice and tank learning purposes, so my guess is that some of these outdated tanks might to end up in training camps. In theory. We'll see.

In any case, even if they see combat, it will most definitely not be in the front lines

The only combat they might to witness would be the one going on training fields like I've told already. Still not certain about that.

Stop giving attention to the retard. Ignore his posts.

Right... right. Sorry, guess I do have some triggers that get turned on by bullshit like this.

I had an idle thought on it; maybe they're being sold, which is why there's no markings.

And who'd buy this outdated stuff? Africans?

Against light infantry without any sort of AT weapons. Other than that it's an obsolete machine, by all merits.

If they are actually gonna use them, they are shit. Basically made of paper to any modern anti tank weapon.

Come on guys, how hard is it not to fall for obvious bait?

You must be new to the internet

 

[DumbDude42]

I had an idle thought on it; maybe they're being sold, which is why there's no markings. Russia probably need the cash by now, so they're selling a bunch of T-62s to Myanmar or wherever.

why the fuck would they transport them into ukraine if the goal was selling them to fucking myanmar lmao

 

[Su-27 Flanker-B]

I do wonder if Mariupol falling is going to cause a domino effect across Ukraine or if it's just going to be this hard to take ANYTHING else that's not a minor city.

If it's the former then there's a solid chance the ripple effect sees the war ended in a few months, if not it could be years of this bullshit.

Mariopol itself fell after about two weeks once it was encircled. It was the massive industrial complex with cold war era nuclear bunker that kept "defending". And by that I mean they barely did anything, having no initiative whatsoever, with all escape attempts failing. If such strongholds can be found and encircled, they can easily be forced to surrender. And unless it was built post-1991, russians have plans of those and know of every major entry and exit (and I wouldnt be surprised if they knew of all the new ones built afterwards if there are any).

Those can be very useful for rear guard. Not good enough for frontlines, but definitely good enough to patrol roads and cities. Makes a wannabe guerilla think twice about the molotov he wants to throw.

Also stop responding to retards. Usually you can discern them after two posts. Ignore function exists for a reason.

using tanks to patrol occupied territory sounds absolutely terrible to me
the point of tanks is having a big ass cannon that can wreck vehicles and buildings, on an armored platform that doesn't get fucked up by random crossfire on the front. against insurgents/partisans (who are light infantry only) this is worthless, your patrol tanks will get blown up by random dudes with RPGs sitting behind some corner.

After all that UNITED NATION DOES NOT HAVE COURT I though your post could not get more embarrassing, but here we are

Also, I litteraly never said I'm woman.

You will never be a real slav. You have no ushanka, you have no borscht, you have no crippling alcohol addiction. You are a proto indo european twisted by kielbasa and pierogis into a mockery of nature's perfection.

You will never be a superpower. You have no modern army, you have no industrial base, you have no force projection. You are a kleptocracy twisted by oil money into a crude mockery of a functional country.
All the “validation” you get is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back even irrelevant third worlders and your puppet states mock you.
Your parents, the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union are disgusted and ashamed of you, your “friends” laugh at your ghoulish appeals for help behind closed doors.
Other countries are utterly repulsed by you. Thousands of years of historical evolution have allowed them to sniff out frauds with incredible efficiency.
Even failed countries who “pass” look uncanny and unnatural to a functional country. Your school toilets are a dead giveaway. And even if you manage to get a desperate African warlord home with you, he’ll turn tail and bolt the second he gets a whiff of your hiv infected, abortion wound.
No amount of tainted vodka or krokodil will make you happy. You wrench out a fake smile every single morning you'll look in the mirror in the outhouse and tell yourself it’s going to be better, but deep inside you feel the depression creeping up like the Russian Winter, ready to crush you under the unbearable weight.
Eventually it’ll be too much to bear - you’ll start military manoeuvres, invade a smaller country, fail miserably, and plunge into the cold abyss.
Your parents will look at you, heartbroken but relieved that they no longer have to suffer the unbearable shame and disappointment of being associated with you.
They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your true name, somewhere between India and Pakistan, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a "local power" is buried there.
Your structures will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably a failed country.
This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back.

Side note: "Myanmar" is a stupid name. "Burma" is far cooler.

Here they didn't just take the bait, they dragged it under the water along with the fishing rod.

Wellt he gentleman was correct about the domino-effect. Ukrainians slowed down the fakes and peremoga, and started admitting it's over. Including Arestovych and Gordon.

 

[Willie Thrills]

Wait, that's how those are "meant" to be pronounced? I've been going with "Roe-claw" and, well, "War-saw". This will not be changing.
Fucking Polacks, I was even going to put a disclaimer about how "At least some of them arent nonsensical".

Better than calling them "Breslau" and "Warsau" for Hitler-related reasons.

Interestingly, the English-speaking Nazi leadership talked about that, too.

 

[Male Idiot]

I was more thinking on them patrolling supply camps in open areas IF they can outrange man portable launchers.

City would make it easy to ambush tanks, and the ruskies are oddly reluctant to make cities into flat rubble.
