repeating “T-72 Is The Best Tank on Earth” a dozen times in a poorly written article without any sources is definitely very convincing
Great thumbnail!
Dunno (or care!) about the rest of it. Kinda strange content for the technology community…
Hummm “faulty systems”. This sure sounds like propaganda to me.
Ah yes, US mainstream media famously doing propaganda for Russian military. 🤡
The author of this is a pathetic Trump lover that makes comments like this “ But he’s not wrong. Europeans should be in charge of European defense and they should stop looking to us or any outsider for help. I’m fine never sending another penny to Europe. They can make fun of me all they want as long as I’m not funding their defense They’re welfare queens” https://x.com/WeTheBrandon/status/1850205407064608946. This is not mainstream media it is propaganda.
ok there blueAnon
Reality sure gets under the skin of western chauvinists.
Even the Russians have better tanks than the T-72 which they have not committed to this battle. It is ridiculous to say the T-72 is the best tank on earth.
So, to be clear, the T-72, a decades-old platform, is performing much better than the faulty systems that NATO has lavished upon Ukraine. In fact, in many cases, as with the U.S.-provided Abrams MBTs, the Ukrainians have had to pull them entirely from the front as they were not serving the Ukrainian military well. For a fraction of the cost of these other, newer systems, the Russians are simply amping up the old T-72 with defenses like reactive armor and greater countermeasures against mines and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).
They also throw their turrets much better when hit.
