It's a total mystery. Nobody can possibly know.
They are still reposting that one picture of a burning Abrams from the 90s I think?
I think there's a new one now, isn't there, from march? Of a "destroyed" Abrams, where the crew got out safely, turret still attached and probably recoverable.
There's a couple of photos of abrams with fracked tracks that they've been claiming are "destroyed", that's been pretty great.
Well, if that happens on the retreat, that's still a loss of a vehicle. But losing a crew is almost always worse.

I remember on some military channel how tank crews were terrified of burning up inside a tank (a common fate in WWII) and so the A1 was made as fireproof as they possibly could make it.
It may have just been history channel propaganda, though.

Drones have changed everything.
Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of "Russia Fuck Yeah" that's just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.
You should check out some American movies. Those are also pretty wild
My favourite line from any of the Grand Theft Auto games is from a radio ad for some movie that ends with "Rated PG for Patriotic Garbage"
As an American, American jingoism in films does make me laugh. Like we are the only ones who can save the world.
Does Russia have films like that?
Well, there's books like that. The idea seems to be that the problem with Nazis wasn't the whole genocide thing, but rather the fact that they invaded Russia. So let's do this: go back in time with modern equipment, ally with Hitler, and march on London and bomb Washington.
jingo unchained
Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you're getting close to Russian level movies from what I've heard.
Like that the US basically saved Europe and singlehandedly beat the Nazis?

As a non-American, how is that any different from America?
Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are "the best", with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.
Well as s non american I feel it's quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.
Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.

You're not wrong. Americans have a lot of "America fuck yeah!" energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going "what the fuck America?" we don't get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn't ask for.
From what I can tell, America has better access to alternative viewpoints and the ability to express them largely without fear.

f35 is like a bee if you tell it it can't fly it will drop out of the sky
Fun fact, bees don’t fly. They’re so small the air is like water for them. So technically they are swimming, hence the different wing design

Why are the leaves speaking Russian?
The maple syrup started to ferment in the heat
Ah so the country which is currently struggling to re-secure its own territory following a battle that was part of protracted invasion that it started with every possible advantage and bungled so hilariously that the local citizenry literally thwarted your goons by changing road signs around is the most superior army in the world? Riiiiight
Of course it's a Canadian on 4chan 😂
"Canadian". You can manually change your flag.
"As a ~~black man~~ Canadian...."
This is clearly a deep fake. Russians can't produce that much food in one picture.

You fool! I have only used 10% of my full power so far!
- Putin, in his wet dreams
The other 90% was poisoned or sent to the gulag.
More like the other 90% were pocketed on every step between blueprint table and front.
Whats on the image has to be satire right? They are literally describing all the issues Russia is having with their equipment, then asking why they can't fight the US with their superior gear.
It's 4chan, so who knows. I was assuming it was propaganda, or a Tankie true believer.
Man..that's no F22, but that certainly is an F35.
True. We saw an F-22 Raptor at an air show a few years ago, and it was mind-blowing. I didn't know that a jet could do the things it was doing. I didn't even know it was possible according to the laws of physics. The thing flies like a UFO, flying saucer.

That's a Russian talking point from 2022. It's like seeing a vintage car on the road.
Why are they putting Abrams in quotes and not mighty as if that’s not the real name of the tank
Bait?
we can assume it’s bullshit since it was posted on 4chan. Otherwise, someone thinks something stupid. Ok

If this is that post is serious, that is some cope from a Russian troll.
Clearly none of these are worthy to battle the mighty t-14 so it just slumbers awaiting a formidable challenger or leopard
Holy shit the negative iq points are completely rejecting the liquid FREEDOM!!! US equipment runs on. that alone beats out all fabricated undemocratic flaws that US equipment does not have.
This truly is a top kek.

A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.
11. No misinformation
NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
