Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

.



Tank vs tank is more rare than lightning strikes this war. They just don't have the range and get knocked out by arti or missiles before they can get close enough. Tanks are only used as assault guns in this war.



Mass producing unguided shells means arti have to be placed close to the front to have any accuracy and that means they are easy targets for counter fire. With the huge numbers of counter battery radars and long range MRLS, they are just not survivable in this scenario.

Tanks that haven’t been used in decades look it’s not just tanks that Russia lacks, it’s a cohesive plan on the battlefield.

Russian T-54 tanks were spotted on the echelons. The Russian army began to use the T-54A and T-54B tanks, two echelons with these tanks were noticed by eyewitnesses. How these tanks will be used is not clear, perhaps they will be used as long-term firing points or as mobile artillery, which was previously done with T-62 tanks. According to the latest data, tanks can be transported for disassembly for spare parts for other tanks. The T-54A tank was put into service in 1955 and was produced until 1957. The tank is equipped with a 100 mm gun with a firing range of up to 14 kilometers and has an ammunition load of 34 rounds, the crew of the tank is 4 people.


The Russian An-26 aircraft got away from 2 MANPADS missiles of Ukraine. The episode of this battle in Ukraine, which was a year ago and appeared only now, surprised many. During the battles for Zmeiny Island, when the Ukrainian army stormed it, a Russian An-26 aircraft appeared and dropped a load of aid to Russian soldiers, while flying at an ultra-low altitude. Surprisingly, Ukrainian units attacked the plane twice with MANPADS, but both missiles missed. The fact is that the An-26 aircraft does not have any protection against missiles, it’s luck, or a small thermal footprint of the engines, is not clear.



These tanks are very old and obsolete. Unless they've had some very significant upgrades, they're not able to fire on the move. They have to stop, take aim, and fire. The time it takes to do that could mean the difference between life and death. These tanks are nothing more that rolling coffins, especially against today's advanced technology.

I'm no military strategist, but it seems like if you're reduced to using 60+ year old tanks, things are not going the way you planned.
Plus all those tank would need a rework before they can put into use. It's like the Leo 1 that belgium company have, engine, transmission and suspension all needed to be rework before they can be put in the field, and then the guns also need to rewoprk and retune.

They may have 10000 old T-62/T-55 tanks in storage (I actually doubt that number) but the number they can use is extremely small, because you most likely need to cannibalise them, l so maybe 4 in 1 would ever work again.

Tanks are used as assault guns in this war. The older models like T-55, T-62, M48, M60 are sufficient.
