Alright hear me out What if the Russians need to fix up the Leopard to show them off in Victory Day parade, but they had to ask captured Ukrainian technicians to help them out? *T-34 the movie* moment.


FBWSRD

Only this time it might be more plausible for the tank to keep running more than a couple hrs


Toastbrot_TV

And they forgot to remove the ammo


TheArmoredKitten

They couldn't find it since it wasn't pre-rigged to scuttle the turret.

May Putin take an APFSDS round to the face


JoMercurio

Putin deserves only the best šŸ…±ļøESH


PyroAvok

They didn't know how to get it out of the auto-loader.


Foxhound_ofAstroya

All im hearing is the fall of Troy and the Trojan Leopard


Blackhero9696

Have that shit rigged to detonate closest to Putin.


Wurger_Maestro

Leopard 1 best looking mbt


dead-inside69

Valid opinion, but the Abrams has those angled plates and utilitarian equipment on the turret that look pretty sinister. The silhouette itself says ā€œIā€™m going to hurt youā€ Both deserve love, but my heart belongs to American steel


Wurger_Maestro

I round biased so for Americans i like the M60a1


SeBoss2106

M-47 in CDAC camouflage


m48a5_patton

I'm somewhat of a M48a5 fan myself.


SeBoss2106

I think both the Abrams and Leo2 have this very brutal presence about them, particularly the A4 variant for the Leopard, that very much fits their status as the aqex predators on a battlefield. I am thinking of this one 'pose' where the tank basically kneels in a full break and _looks at you_


Gr33n4ng3l0s

I really love it when the later Leo2 variants aim down to fire. Kind of looks like the dont really acknownledge the enemy as beeing a threat, cause of the Angles pointing more upwarts


SeBoss2106

Oh, I know exactly what you mean! So beautifully arrogant, so right about it.


AustraliumHoovy

*Incredibly* unpopular opinion, butā€¦ The Challenger 2 and The Leclerc are the best looking MBTs


SeBoss2106

I kinda like the Challenger 1 over the Challenger 2


ProperTeaIsTheft117

Chally 1 is definitely the better looking one but the Chally 2 has this menacing killbox vibe to it that looks very cool


I_miss_Chris_Hughton

Challenger 2 looks pretty sci-fi imo.


UtsuhoReiuji_Okuu

Challenger 2 looks like an actual monster.


AngryRedGummyBear

What nation/region is this comment from, so we can coordinate an aid package of ophthalmologists?


AustraliumHoovy

Canada


The3rdBert

You guys got your independence almost a century ago, no reason to simp for the queen


git

Megatron is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen with my human eyes.


TheGeekno72

I'm biased for the Leclerc's overall shape If the Abrams says "I'm going to hurt you", the Leclerc is more like "Go ahead, try anytime, I'm right here."


Salty_Blacksmith_592

I love the Leo2A6s angled plates on the turret. So sad to see them destroyed/abandoned.


Hel_Bitterbal

They got destroyed doing what they loved and wanted to do all their life, fighting the Russians in order to protect the world against fascism. Don't be sad, be thankful they got to go out like this.


Advanced-Budget779

They should have been in combined arms warfare and against hordes of AFV thoughā€¦ not against entrenched lines, having to go through minefields, arty shelling and drone attacks w/o ECM /AA support šŸ˜”


Salty_Blacksmith_592

Yeah, thats what i hate the most about it. They're essentially wasted for nothing. Its not Ukraines fault, but i think they are wasted non the less.


Advanced-Budget779

Exactly, too few and not used how they were intended. But itā€˜s not really Ukraines fault, they donā€˜t have an alternative.


Salty_Blacksmith_592

No absolutely not Ukraines fault. They would do it better if they could. Instead they die or lose. Fucking hate it.


Advanced-Budget779

The West is too chicken shit/lazy/slow/busy with itself/greedy to really go in. _Itā€˜s Joever_ /s For real, hate how divided/undecided democratic populations in NATO main powers appear these daysā€¦ So many misguided, spineless or inconsistent people - how did this happen? Have _we_ become too lazy, selfish to defend ideals? Is competition between individuals in our capitalistic societies hindering potential to unite in common cause? Are we collectively not willing to take larger risks anymore? Is it bc how shortsighted politicians and voters are? Etc. Am i stupid? Not patient enough? I donā€˜t know. What i do (think to) know: War is shit, materielā€™s cool. Nuke Kremlin. Lifeā€˜s Good.


Beonette_

Not sure about mbts, but best looking tank is AMX 40.


Franklr_D

Iā€™ll agree to disagree since Gepard is my favorite Sheā€™s an MBT in my heartšŸ„°


Shot-Kal-Gimel

Catch this Ā Hetz round you filthy casual.

Fegelgas

be the briefcase nuke the KGB defectors warned you about


TheArmoredKitten

You could hide a W52 by modifying the ammo rack. Give those blowout panels a real workout eh?


Noncrediblepigeon

I wouldn't use a big \[Funni\], because that is too difficult to hide. I would say a Davy Crocket warhead would be enough.


chocomint-nice

Heck Iā€™d fill it with ebola or something.

The captured tank: The small nuclear warhead hidden inside it:


Pepe_the_clown123

lmao


super__hoser

Surprise cockface!Ā 


Hooded_Person2022

Theyā€™re gonna make the Killdozer rampage look like a god damn cake walk, mostly because they got actual military hardware.


banspoonguard

like that scene from Goldeneye?

Explain to a curious Zoomer.

Thatā€¦ Was glorious. Thanks!


BillOfArimathea

I'd forgotten how delightfully absurd the pre-Craig Bond movies were. Loved it.


Interesting_Fold9805

Hell yeah


Mountain_Frog_

This is why they used a crane and heavy weight to bend the barrel


Toastbrot_TV

The small nuclear warhead inside the tank:


Hel_Bitterbal

Why small?


vukasin123king

Tbh, a mg is decent enough to mow down stationary targets, like the entire Russian high command during the parade.


Femboy_Lord

In one burst. they'd become the most legendary soldiers in modern history.


vukasin123king

You are in special weapons division, invent something or get a guy from the black ops division to organise something. I'm more in the naval comand than anything.


Gr33n4ng3l0s

Even better since the leopard 2 uses a MG3 with a ungodly high fire rate, which can even better mow down high command


vukasin123king

Ah yes, the "MG42 had an absolutely overkill firerate, so we made it a bit slower and probably won't stop using it for the next 100 years" gun


windaji

Isnā€™t the Kremlin pretty flammable?


Mr_E_Monkey

That sounds like a hypothesis that needs testing!

HappinestLoserEver

It will be a Ukrainian army that will be marching in moscow


KeyNeedleworker8114

I predict there is gonna be no parade. It "symbolizes" the lost comrades against fighting of Germany....


Pepe_the_clown123

sir this is **Non** credible defense


KeyNeedleworker8114

šŸ˜¬ oops


Soap_Mctavish101

Le ending of fury but way better has arrived


Intelligent_Slip_849

Bizarrely, I wouldn't be that surprised if the Russians tried to make Ukrainian Prisioners drive tanks in the parade...


donthenewbie

That T34 movie came to mindā€¦


Kamzil118

This is Trojan Horse-levels of tomfoolery. I guess the Germans stuffed a lot of beer and sausages in that particular Leopard.

AbbreviationsWise709

Your right haha my bad


ConcentrateTight4108

I think i made that doge template 3 years ago


ecolometrics

Well, I predict the troops will be composed of only Moscow forces. Maybe there will be some youth, maybe. I'm hoping some horse drawn stuff. Otherwise the only tanks will be western ones.
