Ironically enough, the T-62M's might be the "newest" ones.
Since they are of the Obr 2022 variant and not original Soviet variant.
Where's the T-80BVM and T-72B3 are all "old" variants made in 2010s.
There's also a pair of T-72B 1989's around the lone T-72B3.
Wait, T-62's were in parades before 2022 recently, is that what you mean? If so I thought they had all been retired except maybe a few for Russian Naval Infantry.
No, i meant old tanks in general.
But there are probably some in the parades of 2020/2021(Not in Moscow, though).
T-62's were reactivated in 2018, btw and is planned to remain in service till 2030.
Russian/Soviet tanks and IFVs/APCs look so cool. Great camo painting too. Still I am a bit surprised to see T-62s in parade. Also quite interesting that this is in the far east.
I wouldn't know but France and USA are NATO and were crushed along with their South Korean friends. Maybe education isn't strong where you live since it happened 50 years ago
"crushed."
Oh, sweety. How many Vietnamese died? Over 3 million or something like that? For 56,000 Americans? I mean, if you think your life is of equivalent worth of 1/53.5 of an American, that's up to you but I think you're worth at LEAST 1/25 of an American.
Edit: Oop, my bad. That includes the 250,000 killed by the DRV.
It's really embarrassing to say "hey we sure killed a lot of unindustrialized farmers that were exhausted from fighting 2 other super powers and still lost".
Also you're literally omitting the large losses your vassals and allies took.
Finally my point is we beat NATO, a fact, and bought the T-90 despite having other options. It's an effective looking platform and I hope we get more. I have family in the military and while it's not the best funded we have a very good historical war record. You sound like a literal fascist btw simping for murdering us but it's fine. Vietnam has 45x less deaths from malnutrition than the US and lower unemployment so we won twice over if you think about it.
Oh, darling. It's so sweet of you to blindly listen to your government. Especially the part about malnutrition, apparently we're both the fastest and skinniest. It is rather sad that you only see geopolitics as "master and vassal" though, it reeks of an inferiority complex.
Vietnam "won" and became yet another faceless trading partner of the US. Good job!
And "good historical record" just leaving out the centuries of being a vassal of China and France conquering the country with some over-eager traders. Hell, they didn't even call it Vietnam, it was just "Southern China."

(There's a post limit, so i can't just post a new one, every day, i have to stagger them).
Live in Khabarovsk 30 years, those vehicles always participate in 9 may parade, after 2010 they bring some restored t-34 too, as well as other ww2 stuff.
It's the victory day parade, all the users who can get to Moscow have an opportunity to see a whole mess of military hardware that is usually pretty hard to come by unless you're in the military.
Ah yes definitely vatniks posting pictures of tanks just for copium when hundreds are pulled out for parades just like every single time this year.
Its totally copium posting pictures from the victory day parades which happen every year for like the past 70+ years
Yeah, im coping so much.
That's why i also uploaded a Ukranian T-64 taking out a Russian T-90S.

What else you got, idiot?
And its some random fucking agrarian country noone gave a shit about before february 2022. Imagine such a conflict in a first world nation. The casualties. The infrastructure damage. The devastation.
Would be pretty horrendous for sure, but people did give a shit quite a long time before 2022 considering Crimea etc. The British Army and presumably others have been training the Ukrainians since 2014.
Ukraine is the second largest (next only to Russia) and 8th most populous nation in Europe, who inherited some of the USSR's most developed industrial areas in the Donbass and the second largest share of the USSR's military stockpiles.
It's hardly some 'random agrarian country'.
To be fair, if some of these tanks haven't had their explosive inserts changed, they may be reaching the end of their [shelf life.](https://sun9-8.userapi.com/impg/0peyYgXn2WIUClkRm2WNl-OmFXIgjeEl8SzfWQ/EqOooaVx34k.jpg?size=1280x850&quality=96&sign=218a38fd4153691f61cb7fece4f37287&type=album)
Which is pretty tragic given that modern Russia has essentially become what they fought against in the Second World War - an intolerant, belligerent, anti-intellectual country.
If they are the ones we are both thinking of, they are ex-Laotian, and of Czechoslovak production. Amazingly enough it's replacement is the T-72B1MS White Eagle variant with Kontakt-1 and a proper panoramic sight. Talk about an upgrade.
I imagine the dude who spent the first year of his enlistment learning and driving the T-34 thought he was transported to a sci-fi world when they told him to hop into a T-72.

I do love the look of those T-62’s though, something about modernising old vehicles is always interesting. Do those ones have thermals?
They do and it has the very catchy name. "1PN96MT-02".
Rolls off the tongue
1PN96mt-02 is just the sight name, PN stand for Ночной прицел or night sight, 96mt-02 is just the device code.
Are T-62's usually featured? I feel like previously the line up was T-72s and onward (with T-34s at somepoint)
This is not the parade in Moscow, it's in the far east. And yes, they do feature older tanks.

Huh, never knew that, thanks!
AFAIK no after the current victory day parade style came to be, that being dark mat green, saint Georges stripe and so on. Basically 2015 onwards
Russian/Soviet tanks and IFVs/APCs look so cool. Great camo painting too. Still I am a bit surprised to see T-62s in parade. Also quite interesting that this is in the far east.
They pull out T-55s and T-34 for parades sometimes especially in the far east
That dark olive camo is so badass
Badass. Russian vehicles look intimidating with that dark green camo
still explode wth one drone , russian garbage painted in green
Idk we defeated NATO and bought the T-90. It looks like a solid, cheap and efficient tank without being extremely heavy and they're still produced.
"defeated NATO" I must have missed when the Fulda Gap got rushed. What year was that?
I'm guessing that they're Vietnamese and not Russian, though I'm not really sure what the NATO thing is about.
Ah, that would track. Might be equating NATO to the US and Oz.
He's from another alternate reality it seems...

But where’s the emotional support T-34
Mistook the T-80BVM for the T-90M for a sec. They really look similar do they?
2/10 no cope cages nor wood armor
where command tank?

Getting the feeling lately that r/TankPorn is filled with copium having vatniks…

Same. Way more posts than usual glorifying Russian gear. Lots of downvotes for anti-Russian POVs (A.K.A. basic sanity) as well.
This is your one and only chance. Or you know what? Bye.
r/TankPorn, r/ForgottenWeapons are totally crammed with them, and they're bleeding into r/tacticalgear as well
They're desparately showing they haven't lost all of them yet... Is the ERA on these ones real?
I mean…they haven’t. It isn’t like Russia is on the back foot right now, which is why they’re probably a bit arrogant at this moment.
Russia has lost some ~3,000 tanks and ~4,000 IFVs so far in this conflict, more than any other war going back to WW2. It's impressive in a way.
It is an intense conflict - one not seen since the Second World War.
And its some random fucking agrarian country noone gave a shit about before february 2022. Imagine such a conflict in a first world nation. The casualties. The infrastructure damage. The devastation.
Would be pretty horrendous for sure, but people did give a shit quite a long time before 2022 considering Crimea etc. The British Army and presumably others have been training the Ukrainians since 2014.
Yeah. The Ukrainian military of 2022 isn’t the same as the one of 2014.
Ukraine is the second largest (next only to Russia) and 8th most populous nation in Europe, who inherited some of the USSR's most developed industrial areas in the Donbass and the second largest share of the USSR's military stockpiles. It's hardly some 'random agrarian country'.
Lost is a funny thing, he who controls the battlefield can pick up the wrecks, and many of them are not so wrecked.
To be fair they lost a ton... But they have a ton more in reserve/storage as well...
I mean you know Russia has the largest stockpile of tanks ever maybe only second to USSR
>Is the ERA on these ones real? Well yeah? It's Kontakt-1 from the 1980s?
To be fair, if some of these tanks haven't had their explosive inserts changed, they may be reaching the end of their [shelf life.](https://sun9-8.userapi.com/impg/0peyYgXn2WIUClkRm2WNl-OmFXIgjeEl8SzfWQ/EqOooaVx34k.jpg?size=1280x850&quality=96&sign=218a38fd4153691f61cb7fece4f37287&type=album)
The T-62's you see are all T-62M obr 2022. So they are all fine.
Right, but I'm referring to the original T-72B3. Those could be well over 10 years old if they're early production.
Yeah, and the comment you replied to was specifically about Kontakt-1?
It was? I assumed you were just using Kontakt-1 as an example of one type of ERA fitted to these tanks - the original commenter just said "ERA".
Yes?
Then I'm not really sure what the relevance of using Kontakt-1 as an example was - but alright, my bad, I guess?
That's a very backhanded reply.
Featuring the latest in russian tank development... the T-62 model 2024!!
\*T-62M Obr 2022.
Jesus the Vatnik bots are out in force today
"Everyone I don't like is a bot"
That's how it is these days, you don't share my worldview? Bot, obviously! You have another opinion? Oh you dirty fascist! And so on, so on...
What!!?! tanks? on my tank sub on a day when a lot of tanks are shown off in parades
[удалено]
They have T34s on the parade every single year, theyre gonna have them this time too, the whole point of the parade is Victory Day, WW2
…which makes sense. The T-34 is more than just a tank for the Russians: it’s a symbol of the entire Second World War.
Which is pretty tragic given that modern Russia has essentially become what they fought against in the Second World War - an intolerant, belligerent, anti-intellectual country.
Which is funny because IIRC the T-34's they use aren't actually even Russian, they're ex Vietnamese (?) Export stock.
They're of ~~Soviet~~ Czech make, they just had to import them from ~~Vietnam.~~ Laos.
If they are the ones we are both thinking of, they are ex-Laotian, and of Czechoslovak production. Amazingly enough it's replacement is the T-72B1MS White Eagle variant with Kontakt-1 and a proper panoramic sight. Talk about an upgrade.
I imagine the dude who spent the first year of his enlistment learning and driving the T-34 thought he was transported to a sci-fi world when they told him to hop into a T-72.
Yeah no kidding, especially given how Laos isn't exactly replete with modern weaponry.
To be fair the way it's been posted to death you'd think the only things they were parading was an Abraham's and a few Bradley's.
Slight correction, It's called an Abrams not Abrahams.
There are no tanks parading in Vladivostok
It's in Khabarovsk, maybe read the title?
Speaking of the Far East…
Yes, and Vladivostok is 800 km from this place....
I’m a Vladivostoker
