VERY dramatic museum display! I have to admit when I saw the title the first thing that crossed my mind was "Cool! An oil change, a tune-up, a fresh tank of gas and the Ukrainians can send it back into combat!" 🤩

@Kexxey123 Good question! Even considering the Panther was a good tank in its day, its day was 75 years ago so I'd think it wouldn't last too long. Then again, it's not just the tank it's how well the crews are trained in how to use it. From what I've seen those poor Russian tankers seem to be pretty deficient in training. Not their fault, it's the higher-ups that are to blame. I'm reminded of the 1967 war when Israeli Shermans came up against Syrian Panzer IV's. On the surface it should have been an even match but the Israelis slaughtered those Syrians. The difference? The Israelis knew how to use those Shermans, Syrian training on the Panzer IV's was practically non-existant. What it amounts to is it doesn't matter how brave you are or how motivated you are if you're not trained on how to use your gear and tactics for the same you might as well stay home for all the good you're going to do.

@Grubnar It goes to show you there's something to be said for keeping it simple.
