  1.  @mikoi7472  "Russia does not have much in the way of 100mm shells left for the T-55s." Maybe that is why they went recently (last weekend from top of my head) to North-Korea diplomatic mission?

  2.  @danstobbart4406  Yes... but... store any vehicle for 40 years out of doors with NO MAINTENANCE... then try to use it and see how far you get ?? - I'm still amazed that they left all those tanks out there to rot for soo long, and as you said: no maintenance. Imagine them after being build and put into a hanger/shed/warehouse, whatever. And have at least some maintenance, or I don't know, plastics coverings around some parts and whatnot, how they would perform now. Build expensive equipment, let it rot, tell leaders, we have x many vehicles. Sheer stupidity/incompetency/corruption. Get 1 of those tanks in the field, then after 1 km driving (if it works) all of a sudden the steering does not work anymore.... Yeah, stationary artillery: Tow em somewhere, angle a buit up, and just let em (inaccurately) fire at the general direction of the enemy. Better then nothing. No other use. OH, wait, Cannon fodder. 2 Uses.

  4. https://youtu.be/WMo5mdnV51c?t=135 I'm finding the lack of inclination on the barrel, when the turret is pointed towards the rear, a big flaw. If there is an enemy (tank) behind you, you can not even shoot it, because the gun is pointed upwards to the sky.... But hey, I am not a tank designer.

  5. There were only 20 or so terminators made (sofar), I think 13 or so were sold to Algeria, 10 in service of Russia.. +- a few. If they have those, they are rare.

  6. @JoeBLOWFHB I also noticed that, yet: if the turret points rearwards, the gun can not be leveled horizontally or aimed lower, so if an enemy (tank) is behind you, you can not shoot it. Seems strange.

  7.  @DigitalRX2r  I'm really curious about the actual 1:1 performance, a lot of knocked out (both sides) not in tank on tank combat but more on mine hits, artillery, javelin etc, and drone (Various types) hits. Any thoughts?

  8. I noticed that if the turret rotates (at 2.14) when gun points backwards it can not be level: it points up: so you can not shoot at enemies behind you. So you are driving your fancy Armata, get hit on one track, tanks skids to a halt and oh dear, now rear is pointed towards an enemy... Quick Yuri, point the gun... Yuri?? Come back comrade!
