BansheeOne Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 (edited) Well, it is quite trapezoidal at ranges where the missile has sufficient excess power to fly it. As you approach max range, it's running up against the laws of physics like any other, and it needs to follow a ballistic path to make best use of its power.

Still, Russia needs at least another half million mobilized men to mount another serious offensive if it wants to go beyond their current territorial gains. If they want eastern half of Ukraine, they’ll need millions of men not only for the invasion itself but also administration and occupation of the territory. All of which is well beyond Russian capabilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claim is the Russian tank was hit in the rear by a Leopard and yet it drove away? The location of the Leo firing is facing what became 'Bradley Square ' and, if the film is genuine the 2 Russian tanks would be on the other side of the hedge east of where the the pile of Bradleys and the single Leo met their fate. This film is clearly from the same day in early June and if you check out all the shell-craters the firing Leo is the very first Leo we have seen (of those filmed and photographed) advancing in that direction. It is probably the Leo seen knocked out with all the Bradleys. This is film still of a Leo advancing on the same day and it is in the exact position of the Leo firing in the film. This is what it could see. Edited September 10, 2023 by mkenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkenny Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 It appears the Leo was firing at something across the road from it. You can clearly see the smoke from a hit which is not there before it fires its gun. Its only shown briefly and it quickly cuts away to hide it.

DB Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 In my opinion, and unsupported by any actual facts, this misinfographic exceeds the UK MoDi intelligence briefings in its worthlessness. Only seahawk's parody propaganda has less truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bojan Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) Hm, looking more carefully it speeds up a bit at one moment and passes own length in about 1.3-1.5s, which is ~17-20km/h. So definitely improved. Edited September 11, 2023 by bojan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahawk Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 15-17 km/h I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-80s were produced in Omsk, but last samples left the production line in 1996. Upgrade/overhaul exists so production of GTD-1250, spares and FCS exists, but for other parts it will have to be restarted (hull, turret, armour...).

bojan Posted September 11, 2023 Author Share Posted September 11, 2023 Will see if it happens and what form (PIPed T-80U, Burlak or Obj.640) it will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
