it is

during the libyan war in 2011
France run out of bombs and begged the americans to help them lmoa

If Russia went to war first of all it would take a lot of time to get all those old tanks operational again and secondly they'd suffer from a high casualty rate

They'd burn through the old ones pretty fast

>are you assuming the russian would care about casualties

lmao

no they wont

Material casualties, not men

burn out anytime soon

Russia isn't what it used to be regarding tanks

bro where are you getting this shit from lmao

you dont have the faintest clue what are you talking about

Cold war era tanks won't do well given how much armour penetration etc. we have access to now
And Russia can't really replace them with up to date stuff

xD

this is just hilarious

You realize how much of a difference it makes what type of armour you use right?
Most of our stuff goes through cold war era stuff like a hot knife through butter
That's why in Iraq Soviet equipment didn't really hold up that well

arabs

Not just that

Tanks are good because they're hard to destroy but what's the point of a tank with outdated armour

This is btw the reason why Russia is taking an interest in technicals

also iraqi army never recovered from the 1991 war
and they were in terrible shape
since the iran iraq war
they used practice ammuntion vs modern american tanks
they had no air support
no helicopters
no modern atgms
no trained infantry
just a rag tag militia with obsolete weaponry

Russia doesn't have a cold war military budget anymore and its economy is roughly comparable to Italy's or that of the Benelux countries

BUDGET

AHAHAHAHA

It's an issue if not only you can't afford to buy your most modern tanks but have a hard time updating older ones

It's not a joke

so because of budget russia will lose against the on existing armies of france,germany and Uk

hahaha

italy has mothballed all its tanks
they barely have 60 operational
germany has 300 tanks
france and uk have 200 tanks
thats assuming they manage to deploy them all to poland

lmao

Sure Germany doesn't have as many tanks as Russia right now but the ones we have are better, we have a large military industrial complex which exports tanks and can put out a lot more

you should listen more to your armchair genrals in the west
even they acknowlege NATO would get crushed ina conventional gound war

I seriously doubt that

of course you do xD

I'm more concerned about China tbqh

yes

of course xd

Why, China can't really do anything beyond its own region militarily

just like how saudi arabia has massive budget but they are getting fucked by a banuch of yemeni goat herders
just like how the taliban made a mockery of mighty NATO which is still stuck in afghanistan 20 years later

China just has the industry to outproduce us
