They're not making WW1 tanks. That's ridiculous.

I don’t think Russia even had tanks in WW1. France, Germany, Britain, but Russia?

is it? because i literally watched a video of them touring a factory they brought back online. they're bringing tanks in from belarus nonstop for weeks now. you think that's without reason? they need more tanks and they can't build anything remotely new because of sanctions

Dude, WW1 was a long time ago. Tanks didn't even exist when the war started.

This is what Russia came up with during WW1. Russia is not making these to fight a modern war. They're retrofitting some old soviet T62s made through the 60s and 70s with new parts.

The arrogance is a nice touch, though. Keep it up.

ww1 era maybe would be better to say, they looked ancient

but even their latest stuff is still mostly running on old platforms. they really screwed themselves into a corner using western tech for their armament

They were not WW1 era. They weren't even WW2 era.

You're wrong, accept it.

Belarus is giving Russia T-72A tanks, which were built up to 1985, and some T-62 tanks, produced up to 1975, and which Belarus retired by the year 2000.
