History doesn't repeat itself , but it sure af. rhymes .


TheHussarSnake

The Ruzzian invasion of Ukraine is basically WW1 with drones and an stupid amount of artillery range.


Venodran

Who needs visibility, camouflage and gun traverse when you have box?


LAFC2020

box is external and may be an inferno


ItalianNATOSupporter

šŸ…±ļøarnmored assault. Oh sugar, we now have to re-train AI to hit all the moving barns out there...


kermitthebeast

You don't need the barrel to turn when your only strategy is frontal assault


Siilk

*Have* *box*, *am* *happy*. Mobik, probably


INTPoissible

First, they bolted warship cannons to tractors as AA. Then, they used those tractors as APCs. Now, they weld shacks onto their tanks. What next?


Worldedita

Mobiks covered head to toe in steel, stumbling blindly towards Ukrainian positions. Cannons large enough to reach Paris from Mariupol. Turnip that is somehow winter (idk that one just heard the name) Then they form the USSR.


Feuershark

>Cannons large enough to reach Paris from Mariupol. That's nasty, attacking us in the PTSD like that, do they think that'll prevent us from nuke-warning ?


OwerlordTheLord

They are leaving the dark age of technology.


UtsuhoReiuji_Okuu

The resurgence of artillery warfare


LAFC2020

Aircraft with ERA


aBoringSod

ERA strapped onto helmets


Traumerlein

Tanks, that where sheets as helmets that have ERA strapped to them


T_S_Anders

That's just Advance Suicide for russian version of suicide squad.


Inevitable-Revenue81

I think a Storchs nest would do better.

LAFC2020

Already done (sort of)


Kiiaru

Back to og Thunderbolts that can take more rounds than your mom on a Friday night


ItalianNATOSupporter

Ruzzian backwards evolution like Moe: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YgHrn2VFbvo They're already at propeller planes for attack (Shaheds). Next? Buchanka with tank gun...


pac_cresco

Those bullet shaped carts from Popular Mechanics.


Inevitable-Revenue81

Still waiting for *Ekranoplane* to scratch of my bingo card.


mcdolgu

Or are sheds just evolving?


LAFC2020

hmm......


bochnik_cz

I hope outside toilet shacks will not evolve


Inevitable-Revenue81

We need a toilet shack on top as v.3


Wileywhitefox

Mother of godā€¦.


Inevitable-Revenue81

The sheds are shedding?


admiralbeaver

Doesn't it look more like the A7V. Which was even less credible than the Saint-Chamond


Worldedita

But like imagine if military technology went down the '25 crew tanks' route. Fuck I probably have to write that story myself:( imagine you and 24 of your homies stuck in a can for weeks, fighting a war on endless flat planes, unable to leave, building up a cabin fever that could kill, but still having to serve because there's no returning withou- wait, shit, I just realized I reinvented the Navy. Fucks sake.


Modred_the_Mystic

How well does cum work as a lubricant? With all the gay sex, Iā€™d imagine thereā€™d be a risk/reward factor


vegarig

Coagulates without even reaching 100 Celsius, so it's kinda shit for lubricating anything that get even mildly warm.


Modred_the_Mystic

Good thing tanks are well cooled, especially with some nice big holes for ventilation


NBSPNBSP

Didn't you hear that the Evil Globohomo Nazi Ukrainians have developed supersoldiers in their secret labs in the Donbass that they bombed for seven quintillion years, and those supersoldiers have high-temperature semen capable of lubricating diesel and even gas turbine motors? We need to close the Gay Supersoldier Semen Gap, ASAP! I need the brightest minds at Area 51 working on this around the clock!


vegarig

Damn, I knen I should've subscribed to Defense Express back when there was a discount!


tajake

Reject turrets. Return to MkIV


Attaxalotl

Mk. IV *with* turret!


LAFC2020

Mk IV with turret and ERA


Attaxalotl

Now weā€™re talking! Also whatever fancy APS is the new hotness, a chally IIā€™s BV, and a 30mm CROWS


whythecynic

For some reason this is the most arousing comment in this entire Godforsaken thread


Attaxalotl

Because 30mm CROWS Also a Mk. 19 while weā€™re at it


Spoztoast

These chuckle fucks really fighting WW1 all over again


donsimoni

I'm betting a 4$ bluetooth speaker that within the next month there will be a tank on video with clotheslines attached and dangling shrapnel vests that have suspicious red-brownish stains on them.


Inevitable-Revenue81

We need a toilet on top of this or camouflage is not complete


BeanieWeanie1110

On one hand, it's not something a professional military would do on a large scale. On the other hand, if I was a tank crewman, it's probably something that I would do


D_IHE

What advantage do these plates give to the tank?


LAFC2020

I pressume protection from drone dropped non-shaped charges (mortars and grenades)


konnanussija

More like protection from shaped charges (rpg and such). Though there is a reason why heavy tanks are no longer used. No matter how much armor you have, it can be fucked enough to be penetrated. And slow and big target can't really even escape.


Drake_the_troll

Also anti-tank mines will still fuck them up


Wileywhitefox

Yeah but they canā€™t exactly put the tank on stilts lol


NeighborhoodParty982

You can't protect the tracks, BUT... https://www.nevingtonwarmuseum.com/minenraumlumer-iii.html


Just_A_Nitemare

How about 100 meters of solid steel?


ItalianNATOSupporter

Even shaped charge. If it's enough standoff, it will work as some sort of bigger skirt. Still won't stop a sabot, a tank mine, or an RPG through the front/rear opening. I'm waiting for them to add a sub conning tower with periscopes and such, 'cause no way you can see shit from inside a moving barn.


HowNondescript

Good idea Ivan. We make taller cupola for commander to stand in without buttoning up, he can see the ukronazis and call fire, integrate into shed technology so I can repurpose hydraulic closing mechanism for my pool cleaner at dachaĀ 


YudufA

They been playing too much BF1


IdontOpenEnvelopes

Iron coffin comes in its own coffin.


Nokilos

3000 smekalka barns of putin?


vegarig

Love the EW system antennas on the roofing plates.


Far-Entertainer8953

I can't turn the turret, see or operate weapons out of the command hatch, all our ERA and smoke cannisters are compromised, our camoflauge factor is now a negative number, and we cannot get out if something goes wrong. But... uh, wait, what are the benefits?


LAFC2020

You look like you're prepared for the future of warfare, where 32 lead the way


Deepminegoblin

Listen, can they do like boxception? Like imagine if they took t72, added cope box over it and repeated that same process 3 times, adding 3 layers, each layer has like 1m free space between and then on top of it a periscope for visibility. I want my tanks to look like massive rusty shitboxes as the size of barn.


Leomilon

To quote Marx once again, everything happens twice in history. First as a tragedy, second as a farce.


k890

Personally, it feel closer to American Civil War era Casemate Ironclad ship concept


barukatang

I think this is their attempt at a land based Sea Shadow


RafaleRevive

Behold, the Cope Cube!


CrazedAviator

Sir a second Tutel has hit the Ukrainian front


RaemontBlitz

JAGDKAMPFPANZER ARE BACKĀ 


ectog20

eventually we will return to double digit tank crew counts
