Members Ssnake Posted October 14, 2018 Members Share Posted October 14, 2018 Yeah, those warnings, primarily because it's not https secured, are somewhat unfounded scaremongering by Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemolitionMan Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 No response to my question so far...have a Soviet major of tank troops radioing in his T-62 as coverboy of Soviet Military Review for the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted October 17, 2018 Members Share Posted October 17, 2018 In all fairness, your question is very specific. There were T-80s in Soviet units in East Germany in the 1980s, so much is safe to say. There were T-80BVs, as documented by BRIXMIS. To RULE OUT that there may also have been T-80Us (which is the core of your question) is an entirely different caliber of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I assumed that the fact would have surfaced after nearly 30 years and that a board full of tank nuts with a special taste in Cold War gone hot scenarios would know the answer by heart. Thnx though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12Alfa Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Trident Juncture 2018 Vandpassage With Leopard 2 Today, the danish kampvognseskadron over Rena the river, with both tanks and bjærgningsvognen. The aim is to test vandpassage and dybdevadning with heavy vehicles under realistic conditions. It's hard to practice it in other than artificial plant at home, but here in Norway, there are natural vadesteder in some of the rivers. Before the panzers prepare and reconstitute the crew tanks. This includes control of the packaging and the hydraulic system. All tanks came over. #NATO #Tridentjuncture2018 #Hæren Edited October 28, 2018 by 12Alfa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakthrough7 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Vehicle interior identification challenge; who can guess what kind of vehicle I'm sitting in here-- Hint#1; The year of the photo was 2008, and the vehicle had *mostly* been phased out well before that time. Hint#2; It's a little cutie, it really is, but also a strong contender for most worthless steel beast to ever prowl the forest. Additional hints available.

I'm typing on a vintage Forward Entry Device (FED), which does indeed facilitate digital fire mission generation and control, and the vehicle is in fact an M981 FISTV.

Breakthrough7 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 (edited) We've moved on as well; M7 BFIST, M1200, M707, M1131. And I don't know what happened to the idea but in the early 2000s I remember playing on an Abrams FIST (AFIST) simulator, which was pretty impressive but apparently nobody else thought so. I've always felt pretty strongly that the FIST should roll in whatever the supported maneuver unit rolls in; during Desert Storm FISTVs single handedly held up entire divisions, and I'm not talking about enemy divisions. And I'm pretty sure they sat out OIF, at least all the mech units in OIF 1 went forward with BFISTs, but as late as 2008 you could still find yourself in a FISTV stateside.
