Russia commandeers WWII era T-34 tanks from Laos to whom they were given decades ago.
Some publicists seem to take it as an indication of a rapidly diminishing military strength of Putin’s fascist regime
@Vonzales In WW2 the T-34, Christie suspension (an American design) and all, was a kick-ass medium tank. The Russian bogeyman of Germany's Eastern Front. And rightly so.
Taking a T-34 onto a modern battlefield is like driving an "armored" soap bubble on treads. A lot of Russian soldiers are going to die in them.
It's close to the American military equipping their infantry with Civil War era cap and ball muskets.
So, yeah, the Russian Army is in deep shit.
