FORBES
As Tank Losses Top 2,000, Russia Is Deploying Museum-Grade T-72s From 1974



The latest Russian museum tank to roll into combat is the T-72 Ural

Quote:
A 1974-vintage T-72 Ural might look a lot like a T-72B3 from 2023. But on the inside, it’s a totally different—and much cruder—vehicle. One that’s only marginally better than a T-55, and actually inferior to many T-62 models.

It’s unclear how many Urals Uralvagonzavod produced, how many are in storage and how many of those are recoverable. There might be a thousand old Urals lying around, but it’s possible just a few hundred are intact after five decades of hot-cold, wet-dry cycles.

Well the first 'Western" equipment loses are in. If you don't want to read the whole article which has good info, just proceed to the last para. It seems the AMX question is now resolved.

Nothing is invincible and an arty strike as described is re-creatable in the game


EDIT

An observation I read which makes a good point.
Note there are no arty impact craters near those vehicles



Quote:
the tracks hit show mines were the issue. and they have run over mines after the vehicles went through. so probably artillery delivered mines.



EDIT

However, that does not explain the BMR-2 wreck........ so this may be the result of a combination of factors

I agree nothing is invincible, but too many believe that Western military equipment is or is to the point that it would take similar equipment to take it out. That is because the MIC PR machines have done a fantastic job of selling things. Add in other video games that show tanks like the M1 as these unstoppable machines, and you get the point I am driving at. At least here on this forum, we deal with reason. In other places, yeah anything pointed out that explains why the stuff was destroyed/damaged, etc...and it's like WWF/WWE match.

YOU WILL FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THE BELOW LINK I POSTED IN MY LAST HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE WEBSITE. OBVOISLY, THEY FOUND SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT.

FALSE FLAG? THEY GIVE NO REASON UNLESS YOU CAN READ FRENCH WHEN YOU CLICK ON IT BELOW.
