The one place where Russia takes the cake over the US is self propelled artillery, the 2S7, 2S19 and now even the 2S35 are quite a major step up from the equivalent era and role US SPs (those being M110, M109A5 and M109A7). The M109 and M110 chassis don’t have the same room for improvement or...

I was posting after a long while and didn’t notice who I was replying to, would never have said that if I noticed it was you 😂 I know you’re well versed about this stuff. Very Sorry about that. And yeah, PAF is taking anything it gets at the moment, and it’s all welcomed honestly. Maybe they...

Their original deliveries were 12, I see 3 have been lost over time. 9 would be a very good addition, the article says they’ve been modernized too, probably to the H3 standard. The C-130H model has updated Allison T56-A-15 turboprops, a redesigned outer wing, updated avionics and other minor...

Do both of you really have no idea how airframes work despite having several airframes in your own Air Force that are over a decade older than these? It’s not the years that count, metal just doesn’t age sitting there, it’s the flight hours, and these likely have less flight hours than PAFs...

Type 85UG, easy enough to tell. No M48/47s in active service. Many scrapped or turned into monuments, maybe some in reserve but I doubt for long either given parts and ammo reserves not being ever lasting.

It might have been a smart choice. I would guess the main reason was rifle accessories, someone in the PA realized that getting a relatively cheaper rifle and giving each soldier proper rifle accessories might be more effective than buying more expensive rifles and sending them out stock. Sure...

No. Chinese, look closely. They have the usual Low-vis markings.

It wasn’t flamebaiting, it was a request for you to stop targeting my posts and stop being biased. You are the only one trying to bait responses here, you’ve been trying it for a while now. I’ve had no issues with anyone else on this forum except you. If I was on here to flamebait or argue with...

I understand where you’re coming from, the way tanks operate is going to change drastically as more modern ATGMs and UCAVs are introduced into combat, but you have to remember that the same things we hold against tanks, said AT weapons and UCAVs, are just as, if not more deadly to IFVs. But As...

I mean no offense but your logic is inherently flawed. Both vehicles were made and are used for entirely different roles, their roles do not and will not ever overlap greatly and so to say one can replace the other or is more useful than the other is a very big assumption given how much their...

It’s a simulation. Neither side is actually going to war. That’s the entire point of a simulation. Excellent thread, will teach me a lot. I’ll be around to help if any sort of technical/technological factors are brought under discussion during the simulation.

Tank on tank combat is not as common as people think. The biggest threats to tanks are infantry followed by UCAVs. An M1A2CSEPV3 abrams with a Trophy APS and a T90M Provyv 3 With An Arena-M APS would fare similarly against ATGMs; They’re both dead If they take a hit from a modern AT weapon...

So much misinformation about tanks here I don’t even know where to start. Just let me put it this way for anyone that goes through this thread, don’t take anything mentioned about the capability of any of the tanks mentioned in this thread seriously, 90% of it is false. The auto-loader is...

Don’t know about the rest but the Honda model is period correct lmao.

Auto-loader was not enlarged as far as I’m aware. It doesn’t need a larger auto-loader. The T72 style auto-loader present in the original AK is capable of holding ammunition up-to BTA-4 APFSDS that Pakistan recently got with its VT-4s. And I assume the newer auto-loader has the exact same...

Nothing concrete is known about AK-II at the moment but there are strong indications that it is getting a new RWS and a Chinese engine. Other upgrades are unknown. Varta was already rejected on the base model AK over a decade and will not be seen on the AK-2, or any other AK for that matter...

A very good video covering why tanks are still extremely relevant. People who think ATGMs/Launchers and drones are going to make them obsolete should watch this.

Not me getting Forrest Gump vibes from PK. Now he’s also an engineer.

PAF does not have enough money to buy flankers or to buy enough J10Cs to use for A2G role, something it’s not made for anyways. Mirage will stay the principle ground attack aircraft until they find a new long term platform to replace it and I doubt it’ll be flankers.

I think you’re significantly overrating the T90 then. Why do you think it outclasses those tanks? I don’t see any redeeming quality In it in 2022, and that’s not its fault, it’s from the early 90s being compared to modern tanks and the fact that it holds up shows how revolutionary it was when it...
