A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.
2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes
If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.
4. No racism / hatespeech
No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.
5. No politics
We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.
7. No classified material
Classified information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.
8. Source artwork
If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.
9. No low-effort posts
No egregiously low effort posts. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread instead.
10. Don't get us banned
No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

Watching the video, it really looks like the T-90 crew had zero clue what was going on. Wouldn't be surprised if they didn't even know how many vehicles they were being attacked by. Panic, poor training, and the potential for pvt conscriptovich to have sold critical things off for vodka will do a lot to turn a battle against you.
I think panic. They were taking very accurate fire, and I can only imagine it's fucking loud when a bushmaster auto cannon is rapidly hitting your tank, even if not penetrating. If even few of the rounds were causing real damage, I could see that relentless barrage jarring almost any crew
Wouldn't a barrage of non penetrating explosive shells still work well to destroy sensors, cameras and the like?
Absolutely.
I'm sure after the first few round of the Bradley hitting hitting their armor they started panicking and made everything even worse than it already was too. There's a lot to be said for a higher rate of fire than a very slow powerful shot. Sure, the T90 probably only needed one good hit, but it takes a lot more luck and skill to get it.
