Both T-62 and T-64 were unsuccesfull projects. They had many shiny techs that just wasn’t mature enough or wasn’t implmented fully. T-64 had the first autoloader but it was called “Man-eater” because autoloader had a tendency to catch the sleeves and arms of crew and “feed it ” to breach. It also had a tendency to…

Credit where it’s due: old Soviet tanks are tough old bastards.
Are you sure it’s not more advanced than whatever processor is running an F-22?
I think that currently the T-72's out class the T-64's. Originally you were correct but the soviets stopped upgrading the T-64 but kept upgrading the T-72's and thus they have long since out classed the older 64's
The viddy is cool and all, but I think there are a lot of clues in there to point out why that war is going the way it is ... the absolute unprofessionalism of the tank crew (reminds me of Kelly’s Heroes in a way), and the apparent complete lack of strategy or tactics ... “hmm, the enemy is purported to be about a…
Why? We started the whole mess by backing an Ukrainian mob over a properly elected government in order to try to get Ukraine into NATO. We were determined to have a pro-Western government and if the current government would not, we simply endorsed their overthrow. Only then did Russia see a danger to the naval base…
Pretty sure it’s reactive armor; explosives to stop explosives. I could be wrong though.

Dude you can’t criticize US allies! They can use cluster bombs all they want, its like totally different. They can also occupy other countries territory, that’s also like totally different and OK.
Saudi Arabia- known for their allstar human rights record!
So we ‘let it rain’ MANPADS... And someone shoots down a Russian plane... In an area where we’ve already seen a Russian plane shot down... And a Russian SAR chopper blown up... Which raised tensions considerably... And an area in which Russia has already moved their long range SAM sites into...
1. None has happened, that we (the public) know of
lol wut?
Rofl... Saudi Arabia, one that’s dropping cluster bombs on Yemen, is going to “help” “unimaginable civilian tragedy”?
The hole in your logic is that you assume that when one side or the other gets the upper hand the “civilian” tragedy will cease.
This kind of idea never went wrong before...
Well it’s gonna edge the U.S. out of that LNG market because it’s simply too expensive to ship LNG over oceans in comparison to shipping LNG via pipelines or via rail. It’s simple physics and geography.
Most people fail to see that Russia nowadays is all business. They do supply the natural gas of Europe. AND they also work with European countries towards developing their own energy supplies.
