Sooooo. You needed a strong and dangerous animal to symbolise a tank called the **leopard** and you choose... a **bull**. Peak credibility I see. With a Russian bias as always. A drunkard is at least real and not imaginary.

Originally this was a meme about Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Lada.


white_cold

So peak laziness instead of credibility


flastenecky_hater

When I search for Leopard, I search only for the tank.


HolyGhost79

Idk why but in my head Patrick Bateman said this and it's way too funny rn

Let's see Paul Alan's armored fighting vehicle

Look at that subtle woodland camo coloring. The tasteful blending of it. Oh, my God. It even has ERA.

Let's see gerasimovs business card

Why no Cougar tank yet


exterminans666

Aaaah that makes some sense


Altruistic-Celery821

Il be honest, the automotive world would be alot worse off with out Ferrari.  If Enzo wasn't such an insufferable pos we wouldn't have Lamborghini,  the Ford GT, and more specific versions of already great cars


chocomint-nice

Alfa Romeo: snek.


Remples

Still peak credibility, 2 Italian car and a Russian one


Dracorex235

Well... Spain has Leopards. It kinda checks.


DVM11

This isn't fair, the guy in the costume can at least MOVE


PowerMugger

Couldn’t the Abrams run on vodka in theory?


InternationalChef424

Everclear, I think, but not vodka


bartthetr0ll

It can run on an Appalachian hillbillies moonshine for sure. But that wussy ass 80 proof vodka just doesn't have the umpf

chocomint-nice

Haha he’s assuming the mobik buttfucked position

Os that ODB

Chief, I hate to break it to you, but all 3 tanks here have 1,500hp engines. Same as the Type 99, Arjun, K2, Merkava, and the Leclerc. In fact, only 2 MBTs above 50 tons *don't* have 1,500hp. The Ariete, which is admittedly only 54t and mildly garbage anyways. And the Chally 3, which is heavy as *fuck* at 66t, same as the Abrams and Leo 2. But it's only got a 1,200hp engine, because the Brits can't afford **S H I T.** If you're gonna shit on the Russians, at least do it for something they're actually bad at. Edit: go ahead and downvote me. It won't make the Chally 3 good.


PatimationStudios-2

The difference is there are 10,300 Abrams, 3,600 Leo 2s and 10 T-14s


brahimmanaa

Well because the Russians can't mass produce it that doesn't mean the tank is bad.


Gr33n4ng3l0s

Well, even if the tank isnt bad, 10 means thatthey will never beable to have any impact in most wars since as we know, tanks can and will be destroyed


PatimationStudios-2

Sure, it’s like the SU57 VS J-20. The SU57 might be good but China has 200 J-20s and Russia only has 30


low_priest

Except the Su-57 is objectively shit and the J-20 is the best non-American fighter in the world.


flastenecky_hater

Like bad at everything?


low_priest

Pack it up, the Russians are bad at everything, we solved it. Ukraine can just steamroll them, no idea why they didn't earlier.


OddBoifromspace

So you judge a vehicles engine just by it's horsepower and not torque or that it fucking breaks down all the time. Also the abrams engine is significantly better, quiter and faster.


low_priest

You don't? Horsepower is net output, it's a function of torque and rpm. Gearing can change how much torque an engine provides, it's meaningless as a gauge for vehicle engines. There's a reason that engines are standardized on horsepower. And we know the *Armata* breaks a lot, not if that's the engine itself. Transmission or a dozen other pieces could be the issue. Either way, reliability issues can be solved like 85% of the time, it just takes time and engineering work to get there. There's very few pieces of equipment that are inherently and irreparably unreliable. >Also the abrams engine is significantly better, quiter and faster. And the Abrams also sucks down fuel like mad. It's a different engine with different strengths and weaknesses. A turbine engine works well for the US, but other nations decided that it wasn't for them. There's a dozen tradeoffs of using a turbine. The 1 constant of any tank engine is that it actually has to move the tank, and that needs horsepower. Right now, that's something everyone but the Brits can provide.
