‘Ukraine Received 28 Modernized M-55S Tanks With A New Gun And A Powerful Engine’

The Russians are only doing what the US Navy did with their “ancient” prop plane in a modern war... the venerable AD-1 Skyraider! It did a fantastic job for the Navy in the Korean War, the Air Force adapting it in Vietnam, where it did anoutstanding job for them.
And Russia acts like an intel because the Ukrainian woman he wants sleeps with everyone but him because he is so poorly endowed and has a neck beard. So…he feels compelled to kill her.
“Not Russia, idiot.”
Except they did get most of them from Russia, actually:
“Ukraine – At least 700 T-54s and T-55s were originally inherited from the Soviet Union.”

Cool! Old School!
Maybe we should be talking to Fokker about a suitable ICE pursuit plane? Or maybe we can whistle up the ghost of Willie Messerschmidt and pull a couple of squadrons of ME109’s in full Luftwaffe dressage out of retirement?
Someone should make a movie of this.
*shakeshead*
Here is the jest of what you keep missing.
Russia is using STOCKPILES of tanks while producing new tanks.
Ukrainians have had all their shat destroyed, thus is reliant upon what is sent to them via US/NATO and their buying of old Russian tanks from nations that have them. Ukraine is producing NO TANKS.
I know that Russia still has some T-34/85 tanks, but I wonder if they still have any T-34c tanks?
Rafael tried to buy something like 100 worn out 727 cargo planes from FedEx (or equivalent) and Obama put a stop to it somehow. The stated purpose was for parts.
I suspect Obama was worried they’d really be turned into huge drones for a mass attack on his buddies’ nuke facilities in Iran.
They’re fast, cheap, long range, and you could stuff tons of cheap explosives in them. With some air support and cruise missiles hitting the SAM sites, it could easily overwhelm Iran’s air defenses.
“what you keep missing...”
What I’m not missing is that one person here keeps trying to start a political argument based off of a joke.
Learn to joke better.
They all suck. I’ve personally hit T72s, which are far superior. And they didn’t put up much of a fight.
Ha, ha! Russia continues to run with and think like the most backwards of Islamic terrorists.
I will get right on it, after you purchase a sense of humor.
I thought that looked like Davis-Monthan AF base. My dad was stationed there, and every now & then he would take me there and I got to see the planes. It was always a fun place to visit and see all of the cool old planes in the grave yard. 🙂
Thanks for posting this video. I’ve seen it once before, and didn’t save a link to it. VERY troubling.
Ukraine is producing NO TANKS.

The welfare nation of Ukraine is actually producing NOTHING. Manufacturing, exports, infrastructure, currency, economy, etc….all crippled and destroyed.
Yawn...
