most have to be low boy'd or railed to destination
t-34 is 26.5 tons
can go anywhere a semi can go
the width et al is part of the constraint
semis are usually 80k lbs or less
ive had to do the DoT paperwork and manifesting, its a pain
ah width is a good point
we could start a good goy wide load escorting company
And tracks wear out fast
Even in war tanks are usually transported by train or lowboy to the action
abrams is 65 tons 72 short tons
I'm sure Evgeny would sell us many, many, surplus treads if we bought a t-34
da
the A2 model
which is 130,000 lbs
I don't think an abrams would be as easy to acquire
12 ft wide etc
Just a good ol deuce and a half would be fun
and its thirsty as fuck, but can burn anything even booze
it takes like 15 gallons to switch on or some shit
fire up the stills, boys
we've got tanks to move
its just getting the turbine up that is fuel intensive
they are very quiet at idle too
oh yea i forget they are turbine powered
NATO calls them whispering death
that's cool af
Our ICVs are also quiet as shit even in motion to a degree if you are not heavy on gas
and on permiter you can power down and slave batteries off and run the optics and thermals and scan to where there is no noise and you just hunt
flip engine over and move out
we surrounded this facility at NTC backing up SOF and we got the perimiter and went quiet and dropped ramp and got assault teams set, opfor had no idea we were lurking
flip thermal/NVG hybrids down, lasers on and I followed my assault 2 in behind the A team
we have the coolest military tech
REEEE
also havent seen a UMP 45 in ages
Outdated
effective but dated yes
Use that galil
Jk
