Why are Russians having problems with their vehicles? Cheap Chinese tires! True story!

Oh look, another Putin bot.

Your reading comprehension skills need work.

The commenter said OP’s post was a “bunch of crap” because “tanks do not have tires.”

OP was mentioning various VEHICLES and not TANKS in his post.

God. All of you idiots need to repeat the 4th grade.

… and then the brave Putin bot bravely turned his tail and ran

Contrasting Americans beating up on a small country vs. Russians beating up on a small country.
Americans would indiscriminately bomb, destroying power plants communications, and water. Russians have total air superiority so this option is available to them. There are plenty of videos showing Ukrainian Cities seemingly unaffected. It has been speculated that the Russians intend to surround the major cities without undue civilian deaths. This may be a lesson learned from their Afghanistan fiasco. Every person unnecessarily killed creates at least 2 insurrectionists. Targets are limited to the military sites.

getting your “news” from twitter is like getting the night news enema from CNN or faux. its all western propaganda.

you gotta ask yourself, if all the media news is the same and rammed down your throat, do you really trust it?

covid?

WMD’s in iraq?

Moving this much machinery and having a dozen failures is nothing. USA has the same issues and we have an unbelievable maintenance program. That's why we have wreckers trailers and yes sometimes just leave shit. It's simply part of the equation. I was in Columbia SC and a wrecker and drop decks had to cone pick up 2 Buffaloes. One quit the other one was maybe air conditioning I think. The guys couldn't drive it. It was too hot. I believe(hope) it was national guardsmen not real army heheh. I did look them over really well. Awesome rigs but unbelievable how exposed electric, air and hydraulic lines were. They must not drive them off road. Sticks would disable the entire vehicle no problem

VARIOUS VEHICLES you fucking moron. It's clear as day that the tired vehicles are not the only ones "stuck" stop spreading disinfo you deluded trashcan

Or i have a life and don't get paid to post online LOL!

Our "unbelievable maintenance program" consists of the philosophy "fix it til' it's broke". Meaning, we overkill the maintenance on things until they break prematurely from basic routine maintenance wear.

They are basically using their practice squad. Not sure why.

If all your old equipment is destroyed you surely have to make more. Why send a t-90 when a t-72 will do and if it doesn't come back oh well you've got plenty more

As much as possible,
Avoid chinese manufactured goods

Actually, tanks do have tires.

Look at all of those idler wheels riding above the track.

What do they have on them?

Tires. They might be solid tires, but they are tires.

And they can fail, especially if they are made in China.

Are all the straws you guys are grasping at made in china too?

Bullshit... Russians would quickly know if they had bought unsuitable tyres, long before going into a conflict situation.

Cheap Chinese shit is used on all military and civilian equipment worldwide...

Lol I can't argue that possible point.

At the 0.58s check out the gnarly looking star on the ground next to tank

They have to take a side because if they didn't then their soul would be lost and they'd have no meaning in their boring lives.

The side is humanity you dumb fuck. Imagine not being an evil retard. Have fun with satan

The MI Abrams main battle tank is over 40 years old in design and it is our state of the art tank.

It typically fails after around 1000 hours or 500 miles of operation in combat [whichever comes first], and has what most military experts consider a fragile and unreliable turbine engine. While it is true it has adequate armor to protect the crew, the tracks and engine are easily disabled by improvised munitions.

At the time it was developed it was at the leading edge of tank technology and much ballyhooed as a force to be reckoned with with its shoot on the run fin stabilized depleted uranium sabot ammo, but even at the time of its implementation tank crews were trained to expect a 3 minute survival time in an all out tank battle with Russian tanks.

So the cheap Chinese tires blew and left the entire Russia stranded. But why is the engine on fire as well?

I used to import and sell Chinese industrial tires.


Used to get complaints from customers all the time about bad batches/compounds.


Would have to struggle with the vendors to have them send me the good shit.

Fuckin' Chinese.

Shades of Stalingrad... or hoisted on the petard climate change.

This is giving me Deja Vu.

Can we all just come together the whole world and take china

Fun Fact aint no body fuckin talkin about tanks

Looks like a bad johnson rod...

LOL You could take that term in a lot of ways

Hardly. Russia is maintaining the diplomatic high ground at the cost of a quick victory. If they wanted to exterminate Ukraine, it would be exterminated already.
