    The amazing thing about the T-54/55 is that they're operational in some countries around the world Syria, Afghanistan etc still today.

    Thank you.
    This brought back some really great memories of my step-father.
    He was there, as a tank commander.
    He even watched The Berlin Wall being built, overnight, from his hatch.

    I was 11 at the time. I was scared to death. Too many showdowns. Stop it like they did in the old west USA. Thanks to those in command and the incredibly cool troopers. you're why we're still here.

      Yeah, except the actual threat is China, and dodo birds in office dont seem to get it. Actually they are all invested in Ukraine, so that is where their interests are at the moment. That and the obvious destruction on the United States for their World Economic Forum handlers.

    Aw yes the T54's smokescreen tech of injecting raw diesel..into ENGINE. For those that do not know its injected to exhaust where is creates lots of smoke, but issue of this system is that the smoke screen is easily carried away by wind and by the design issues it dispenses that smoke from rear sides, leaving the front of the tank visible, specially when in move forwards. Nowdays smoke screen is made via launchers that fire smoke canisters around the vehicle and those contain particles design to conceal vehicle from thermal and laser sighting devices, though i would not want to be infantryman next to one when those fire since its pretty horrid stuff that is inside of them..

    Pretty hard to design a new tank and have to float it like 3000 miles to the field. The Russians had home field advantage

    so should we worry about t54 in Ukraine now? also they changed the turret probably because t34 was known as mickey mouse because of its turret.

    What does it mean? And this means that humanity, of course, raises many questions, but in a black and white situation, it still takes the side of the truth. And our cause is just right. And that means the enemy will be defeated, and victory will be ours.
    Glory to Ukraine!
