I don’t know where they are deploying them, how much training the crews have had and many others that factor into survivability. I’m not saying the Abrams is the best tank ever, just saying that there are many factors that can contribute to why they aren’t doing well in the field for the Ukraine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yogthos@lemmy.ml [S] 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Sure, I agree with that. There are tangible factors that make T-72 a better tank though. It's a simpler design, making it easier to produce and maintain. It's more manoeuvrable, it's lighter so it doesn't get stuck in mud. Doesn't use a turbine engine, which has been a cause for endless problems. So, while many factors combine to decide overall effectiveness, the quality of the weapon itself is important as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] BlueBockser@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) more manoeuvrable Ah yes, there's nothing quite like a 4 km/h reverse speed.

Uh yeah, developing new weapons platforms takes a long time. Look at how long US has been fumbling trying to make F-35 work.

LMFAO yeah, Abrams is great at blowing up tanks from the 70s with barely trained crews. Not so good at modern warfare against a peer competitor. If there’s anything here that’s garbage, it’s your notions about tank design. Any tank where electronics start to break down when it rains is very obviously a giant piece of shit. One, parked under a tree, was almost immobile during CNN’s visit, due to an engine problem, the crew say, despite the vehicle having just been shipped in from Poland. They also complain of how, in rain or fog, condensation can fry the electronics inside the vehicle. https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/29/europe/ukraine-war-us-tanks-intl/index.html permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JokerCharlie@lemmy.zip 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) So the superior Russian army destroying the ill trained Ukrainians is not the same thing?

Uh yeah, developing new weapons platforms takes a long time. Look at how long US has been fumbling trying to make F-35 work. Also, if you still think that Russia doesn't have industrial capacity to mass produce these, then you might want to read what people with a clue have to say https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine Go look up Operation Desert Storm and rethink what you wrote there.
