служил на таком обалденная машина а тут все с увалеными двигелями

[tdmtu1500ag]

двигло похоже не в лучшем состоянии, ещё поди и соляру ослиной мочой разбавляют...

[ZippOR35]

Сколько масла они в солярку льют? Этож пиздец какой то! Танк еле едет по прямой! Только Русские могут нормально на собственных танках ездить :)

Don't USA have a bunch of tanks left over from other wars ? If so couldn't they give them to the ANA..?

Oh, i got it: the smoke is a defense against laser-guided missile and used for cover as well.Very clever.

@cammander263 I was being slighly sardonic about tanks. In a wider discussion about Afghanistan the place is very much sniper country. Much of it is mountainous, rugged and not at all good country even for wheeled vehicles. If you're road bound you are so open to landmines and ambushes and the rocky nature of the offroad terrain is not good for vehicle maintenance. Idealy you would use more helicopters but that is a matter for government financing.

@FrancoHitlini well the abrams and the challenger are the worlds top 2 tanks but they are both expensive , and plus there harder to maintain , and on the side not afghan isnt built for tanks , its more likley foot or light vehicles like the btr and stuff

[FrancoHitlini]

I should have said "world wide... in terms of numbers". Not that the Taliban had T54/55.... or indeed anything apart from IEDs RPGs and wishful thinking

[FrancoHitlini]

really, in terms of numbers the tank the T62 is most likely to face is a T54/55. These guys were meant to be cheap and simple to maintain. Of course they would probably crap themselves if they saw a NATO tank but really... how likely are the Taliban to have a Challenger or Abrams? :-))))
