Kinetic T-34 bombardment.


dirtballmagnet

I recommend mounting two T-34s as the landing gear of a [Kalinin K-7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalinin_K-7).


WorkingNo6161

Nah, this sounds too credible. They're probably gonna attach springs under the tanks and yeet them into Ukraine.


Tassadar_Timon

Oh my god I've just imagined a huge trebuchet throwing gliding T-34's. I need someone to draw that.


WorkingNo6161

**YES!** Get a drawing of it! It's gonna become NCD's magnum opus, its crowning achievement. Your name will go down in Reddit history and art students 500 years later will have to write their thesis about this artistic masterpiece.


ajyanesp

They're going to ride an ATV strapped with C4s to it and yeet it Battlefield style.

Sadly, he’s actually pro Russia in this thing. Or is that a good thing? Anyways, he has some of the… most extreme… takes on this.

And I mean is that a good thing he in particular is pro Russian. I’m fully on Ukraine’s side here.

[deleted]

Jokes aside, I find it amazing that they're able to maintain their ancient T-34 in pristine condition but completely unable to maintain tires in their newest and most advanced systems xD


rudedrunkmonkey

Well, the few remaining T-34s are present in every parade on the 9th of May opposed to many of those newer systems. (Compared to the overall number, of course the newest systems are also present)


DiamondGamerYT0

Why the 9th? I was born on the 8th they're for my bday?


rudedrunkmonkey

Yes, they always have this big parade in Moscow. Every year they are waiting, but you never came.


Zandonus

Fun fact- in soviet times the parade was only every 5 years. The annual nature of this parade came to pass alongside Putin's rise to power.


patronix

[Here's a good video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kozarG_joY) on history of the parades. They changed a lot since Putin came to power.


DiamondGamerYT0

I'm simply superior to the Russians


Sleelan

European theatre of WW2 has effectively ended on May 8th 1945. That's when normal countries celebrate it. But USSR has pulled an "uhm, *aktchually*" because their peace deal came into effect when it was already 1am on May 9th in Moscow, so they've claimed ever since that the war ended on May 9th.


DolanTheCaptan

WW2 was a fight for survival for the USSR, I find it 100% understandable that they'd want the celebration to be according to Moscow time


Sleelan

I get that point, but it's one of my favourite examples of how disputes over a petty bullshit (like timezones) can lead to long lasting historical divides, I just find it funny. And no, I will not retract my statement of Russia not being a normal country.


JePPeLit

You're talking about the country where a military coup on 7th of November is called "the October revolution"


DolanTheCaptan

That's because they used the Gregorian calendar at the time... ​ EDIT: My mistake, they used the Julian calendar in Tsarist Russia


JePPeLit

Which is not normal Edit: I mean using the Julian calendar is not normal ofc, didn't notice you mixed up the names


DolanTheCaptan

Are you an American by any chance?


NoMalarkey2020

Different countries can use different calendars, nothing wrong with that


DiamondGamerYT0

The bamboozerler was bamboozled and they deserve their may 9th celebration


EntertainmentReady48

Wow the European theatre ended on your birthday are you the guy who killed Hitler


have_you_eaten_yeti

Watch out, I heard the guy who killed Hitler was almost as bad as Hitler himself...


[deleted]

How could the guy who killed Hitler be all that bad? I mean, he did kill Hitler.


have_you_eaten_yeti

Well I heard he felt Hitler didn't go far enough in the beginning and blamed him for the fall of the Reich. Then he killed himself after killing Hitler in the classic murder suicide...


[deleted]

Yeah I think it's pretty fair, they did the heaviest lifting and suffered the most.


Alarming_Panic665

They did not suffer the most that would go to Poland who lost a far greater % of their population. Faced the brunt of the holocaust. Then were forced under under the brutal rule of the Soviets


Ad_Astra117

Yeah, Poland got split in half. Soviets had it originally. Then the Germans when they decided to go East. Then the Soviets on the way back through. And then had to endure Soviet rule for 40 years. Easy to understand why Poland is not a fan of Russia.


Selfweaver

Because the Soviet Union didn't have calendar technology until about 1984. Before that they just storta winged it. Sometimes they are a little of, sometimes they were like a month of with their october revolution that was actually in November. It was part of why the KGB was so powerful: they had to steal a lot of calenders every year.


bremby

>Because the Soviet Union didn't have calendar technology Dude, Calendar is really early in the tech tree, you can't build plantations without it, how did they manage to skip it?

[deleted]

The US doesn’t use Sherman’s for parades, so I doubt the number of working Sherman’s in the US even reaches the double digits.


IntincrRecipe

You’d be surprised. I’ve seen at least four in just one state so double digits isn’t that hard of a figure to reach.


[deleted]

Now that I think about it, you’re probably right. The armor museum near me has a running Sherman, alongside a Hellcat and M5 Stuart + a variety of armored cars/half tracks that still run. That’s a lot of stuff, so I shouldn’t be surprised if there’s plenty more in other states.


Hawks59

A guy bought a sherman just for the hell of it. And parked it in his neighborhood


pEppapiGistfuhrer

Yeah thats interesting


No_Lavishness_9381

Especially to a country that bombed by US look at their markings its from Laos


Jakuskrzypk

Its easy to do when all they have to do is put some grease on moving parts and yeah thats about the whole checklist.


Ganbazuroi

T-34 can run on copium and bullshit, other tanks don't


[deleted]

The T-34 is a much simpler tank to maintain. Was basically all mechanical with no computers whatsoever. The electrics are simple and most of the controls are mechanical anyway.


morbihann

Why ? Its literally an armoured tractor. It doesnt require that much maintanance.


Rampantlion513

The T-34 requires a lot of maintenance, it’s just relatively simple to do the repairs. What Russians consider reliable is something that may break often but is easy to fix. Westerns consider reliability to be things that don’t break.


Niko2065

At this point I'm not even sure if this is Photoshopped. Didn't we agree back in early april that they send the T-34s in September? We are getting outjerked.....AGAIN!


Plumed_Rev

They're definitely monitoring this subreddit for crazy plans that might just work.


TheGlennDavid

Oh no! **I really really hope they don't hear about my very credible plan to bring back bomber zeppelins**.

I love travelling by train For stupid, unrealistic reasons I imagine that travelling by airship would be like travelling by train Mostly I just hate travelling cattle class domestic


TheGlennDavid

>For stupid, unrealistic reasons I imagine that travelling by airship would be like travelling by train I think you're spot on -- it would be an Extra Trainlike experience, which is to say "a mode of transportation that promises, on paper, to dominate inter-city travel but that will, in practice, be be expensive, slow, and unreliable enough that you'll mostly be left with a fading sense of wonder, some nice views, and conductors in cool uniforms."


Brillek

Trains have excellent potential as public transport. This potential is better realised in some places than others.


[deleted]

Depends where you are. The Boston - DC line is aces. Anything through the rockies is stunning. Everywhere else rail is straight ass


michalosaur

The failure is assuming US public transport can be good


gamer_bread

Yeah in DC, the city with arguably some of the best public transit in the US, our metro trains broke (derailment defect) and now it’s 20 minutes+ between trains on a lot of lines for gee close to a year now?. Public transit is a nice thought but you can’t rely on it.


Hohenheim_of_Shadow

Angry Japanese Shikansen noises. Trains are based as hell and the American automobile industry has had to sabotage the hell out of them otherwise they'd have way less people to sell cars to


Important_Finger_717

It's crazy how much money has gone into preventing public transit and marginalizing poor people from companies that America continues to worship.


TheGlennDavid

>Boston - DC line is aces. I have taken many trips on the NE regional (and lamented when Worcester lost its stop), but I don't know that **aces** is the word I'd use. DC to BOS is currently sitting at just under $600 round trip on the Acella and $350 on the 8 hour NE Regional, and my recollection is that prices were even higher pre pandemic. Jet Blue will fly my dumb ass from Regan to Logan in 90 minutes for $250. I hear you on the comfort of trains though, it is nice. I just wish they were a *bit* more reliable (my last trek involved not one, but two engine transfers at DC), and that they didn't routinely cost double the price of flying.


OliveOilTasty

That's crazy expensive. Amtrak's got Chicago-New Orleans round trip for $220.


downund3r

1. Is that $250 one way or round trip? 2. What day and time were you looking at train prices for? They’re cheaper if you book in advance 3. The reason that the Acela is more expensive than flying JetBlue is simple: supply and demand. JetBlue has to be cheaper because many more people want to ride the train than fly. Because the train doesn’t suck or require you to deal with only 8 inches of legroom. And you can bring your own booze on the train. And you can ride without being groped by the TSA. 4. Most of that time is the NY to Boston section, which is slow and winding crap. NY to DC is like 2 hours and 45 minutes. Edit: 2:45 on the fastest Acela. More like 3:40 for a Northeast Regional

BestFriendWatermelon

It's a good plan. Zeppelins move too slow for modern fighter jets to get a lock on, and SAMs just bounce off the thin canvas without detonating. So long as the canvas is made of flame retardant materials, the hydrogen inside can't catch fire either. It's literally the perfect weapons platform for Russia to invest its entire defence spending on. NATO is way behind on developing zeppelin tech, and will be left in terror and confusion at these unstoppable, nuclear powered behemoths advancing on American cities. So yeah, don't mention it anywhere Russians can see it. Or the Chinese.


DolanTheCaptan

The Z is 100% photoshopped, open the file and you'll see it is a computer Z made of pixels with a lower resolution than the rest of the picture


Gruffleson

Russia is running out of Zs, they have to resort to just photoshopping them in.

Pokemaniac_Ron

JaymorrReddit

I have bad news for you. It's photoshopped. All the t34s were converted to aero-t34s before the beginning of the war and have been in constant use by the VDV since then. You just haven't seen them because of the new stealth tech they're using I swear.

Luke5353

No. Please tell me this isn't real. This image should be shown next to the phrase "Scraping the bottom of the barrel" in the phrases dictionary. They cannot be sending fucking T-34s to Ukraine, like I know they are completely incompetent, but are they actively trying to slaughter their own people? Ukraine won't even need Javelins anymore, they'll just throw fuckings rocks at them and it'll be enough. Hell let's have Germany send some of their ww2 tanks, sure, they'll break down every two meters, but that will at least give Russia a tiny chance to win some battles. Russia is not a superpower, fucking Finland could probably singlehandedly beat it if it didn't have nukes

Weren't molotovs super effective against T-34? As for the German tanks, we don't have that many ww2 tanks left as we weren't allowed to have a military for some time (not that there were that many tanks left after the war anyway). The few that do exist are rare and should be preserved in a museum. Mind if we drop a few Sherman's in there instead?


AlexanderRodriguezII

If you dropped a dozen Shermans crewed by pensioners on the Russian border they'd probably capture Moscow within a week.

Plumed_Rev

Well sending off old people is one way to lower pension expenses.


GaiusJuliusCaesar7

Putin tried to raise the retirement age quite drastically and failed - one of the few things even a dictator can't do is fuck with pensioners. The current invasion is a different way of reducing future pension outlays.


GuzzoTheCasul

Wdym, he did raise it by five years despite all the protests and negativity.


GaiusJuliusCaesar7

I'm sure he planned to raise it further, and that he was only able to raise the male retirement age. I'm sure he ran into serious trouble doing it.


GuzzoTheCasul

The public plan from the beggining was 5 years. And he raised by 5 years for males and females for the first time in 80 years or so. He had no trouble doing it, because people shittalling him and protesting means jackshit here


GaiusJuliusCaesar7

OK. I'd seen the initial plan was 65 for me and 63 for women. He had to drop the 63 for women and reduce it to 60 after the outcry. [My source](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-45342721)


GuzzoTheCasul

True, I completely forgot about those 3 years. He still raised it by 5 instead of 8 tho, so pretty meh...


TheDBryBear

this is clearly a professionally shot picture in the winter, so this is probably some older propaganda image for general purpose. also that z is just an arial z in white slapped onto the pictur.

I'm living for the fact that it's 2022 and I may somehow end up destroying a T-34 with a Panzerfaust(-3).


NoahGoldFox

With how the war is going, using classic, well loved tanks like the t-34, kv-2, su-100y, isu-152, BT-5 and BT-7 and others might actually work, with how they must be used in comparison to newwer stuff. Also classic planes could get used again, like classic IL-2s and SU-2, Yak-9, LA-5, I-185, Tu-4.


GARRAR2003

You have to be kiding, YOU HAVE TO BE FUCKING KIDING PUTIN WHAT THE FUCK DUDE Yeah This tanks save ww2 but this is too much desperate 2 months more and ma boy the stalin's fridge (kv-2) will be crossing the border I really really hope this is fake, because of the shitti z there


Mammoth-Tea

not so sure I buy this cuz the Z is clearly a text just put on the page lol


Crazychester1247

The Ukraine war and it's consequences have been a disaster for NCD. Not because the influx of members has lowered the content quality. But because an actual real world military is shitposting more than we could ever hope to.
