Russia's new high-tech Armata tank just broke down in the middle of a rehearsal parade

Certainly funny, but only to be expected. It's a new "clean slate" design and I don't think they are even production models, yet.

I'm glad to see they're using a diesel engine. Gas turbine may be great for dashing across European plains (the original theatre) and desert if you have exellent supply lines and maintenance facilities, but diesel is the best choice for rougher terrain and unpredictable supply/maintenance services.

I did actually expect it to happen. It's still a prototype, the real deal will fully arrive in 2017.

Yeah, can't expect Russians to be able to have any of that stuff.
Only Americans can conduct a war with gas turbine tanks and be so successful that there were more friendly fire deaths than deaths from enemy fire ie, The 1st Gulf War.

vodka in the engines

THey're just a lil past the experimental phase... Not very surprising.

And immediately they are making up lies again about it...

Trying to spin it like it was done on purpose for training to evacuate weaponry... (looks like that test failed too!)

Those three generals seen near the tank are going to have a hard time.


Russian military sucks!

New designs are always suspect. Everyone in engineering know this. Their probably isn't more than 2% of engineering drawings and computer models that haven't been revised many times.

Putin taught spetznaz kung-fu!

Putin's bear got a punch
Thread: BOOM! I hit him good. Man punches bear in face to save his dog!!

rehearsal. ...
Call me when few of them stop in a middle of parade.

That is funny, but to be expected. Look at the problems the Osprey had to overcome, and now all the issues surrounding the F-35....

Flip it over, it probably says "MADE IN CHINA" on the bottom.

Arrive in Sweden and elsewhere with Russian crews, air defense and infantry too.

Maybe your muslisms will defend you, oh, they are Russias allies.
Dang!

Sorry for the embarrassing news, Russian shills!
Never-mind, just give one star to this thread and get some

Fake. They're fakin it, want us to think it's shit. Waging war by deception, they are.

Here's another omen for Russia, going to happen the day before the "victory day":

The Progress supply ship is expected to "end its existence on May 8" between 12:45 am and 06:36 am, Moscow time (7.45am and 1.36pm Australian eastern time)," the Russian space agency said in a statement released on Thursday.

No mass production has not begun.

Notice how the thread derailed massively the second the anti-russian Romanian arrived.

Ok SandHurst boy.

LOL! They can't start that diesel engine in warm weather, how is it going to start in the arctic weather?

At least it didn's axphyxiate its occupants, the way american junk is known to.

Simple, put some diesel in the tank and try again.

The accomplishments of the Kiev Junta and its Western supporters:

1. Tried to kill their own President after he signed an economic deal with Russia that would have benefited ordinary Ukrainains more than the zio-nazis in the EU.

2. Organized "protests" where the Berkut police were burned alive with molotov cocktails and where the Kiev Junta used snipers against their own protesters, which they falsely blamed on Yanukovych.

3. The Odessa Massacre

4. The MH17 Shootdown, which they falsely blamed on Putin from day one before any of the evidence was even collected.

5. The ongoing unjust war of genocide against the Donbass.




Meanwhile, Putin takes Crimea virtually without firing a shot in one of the most brilliant deployments of special forces in the history of warfare.



I'd say the Boss deserves his own victory parade.

Diesel works just fine under arctic conditions. Ever heard of arctic grades of diesel fuel and block heaters that burn fuel at a low rate? You think big rigs grind to a halt in Alaska or northern Finland every winter?

Diesel engines are robust, easy to maintain, fuel-efficient and they yield oodles of low-rpm torque and power.

Typical Russia garbage. Everything they produce is fuckin shit.

and that makes you happy, fucking retarded idiot! Go to hell!

It was supply for the whole international crew on ISS
