Re: The end of tanks as we know it?
advertising for the reactive armor:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYBx_92A6zM&t=17s
https://militaryleak.com/2022/09/14/kal ... g-vehicle/
It looks like huge ERA blocks on the side of the vehicle. The advertising also implies its use for tanks.
However the ERA blocks do not cover the majority of the top, meaning that the BMP-3 is still vulnerable to top-attack.
The armor system is compatible with T-72B3 and T-80BVM. 1:43 demonstrates its installation on a tank. A lot of surface area is not covered, I guess the rest of the surface area will require custom-fitted (smaller) ERA blocks.

As any good people should be.
Exactly why do you think that anyone is interested in "loss analysis" by some random type with no known credentials and no credibility with anyone but the pro-Orc crowd which is full of evil liars anyhow? E.g. where previously has your "loss analysis" been craved for in

Armored vehicles of all types I count 30 Russian and 50 Ukrainian.
Corroborate; verb: confirm or give support to (a statement, theory, or finding).
Reliable source. Since I doubt that anyone expects anything but pro-Orc bias from the likes of you, you are not one.
I would like to see proof that the videos and photos have been competently analysed and numbers and damage level if any confirmed by a truthful open-source intelligence operator.

2 appears to be a tank on fire, no source, how can they tell it's a russian t-72b3?, even the caption says unknown tank, I didn't count it.
3 is a tank, they claim from 3.11, but it is burnt and has plants growing over it, clearly months old, I didn't count it.
4 is from July, I didn't count it.
5 is from June, I didn't count it.
Previously unidentified armour losses are identified even months after the fact and moved to identified types of correct loss category.
Armour previously listed destroyed, damaged, abandoned or captured is moved to the correct category.
Other corrections are applied: Incorrect entries removed etc.
However I doubt that any good people expect anything but pro-Orc bias from the likes of you.

Re: The end of tanks as we know it?
All good people should be biased against the Kremlin genocidal maniacs and their armed farces of absolute evil.
Please provide proof that Oryx inflates the Russian losses.
Or the intelligence to conduct qualitative and especially quantitative assessments since you have proven yourself incapable of handling calculations involving double-digit numbers somewhat over 50?

Sounds like a glowing recommendation since you are a constantly lying pro-Orc troll who professes to believe genocidal war criminals' public statements.johnwilliamhunter wrote: ↑11 Nov 2022 15:39It is far too time consuming and exhausting to check everything there, I've done it enough to be sure that I don't trust it.

Orc tanks on fire make a lovely light.

Re: The end of tanks as we know it?
Re: the other corrections. As previously orcified territories are liberated, destroyed, damaged and abandoned Orc armour (and some Ukrainian) is found and hopefully for the most part documented and analysed by Oryx.peeved wrote: ↑12 Nov 2022 19:03An honest person would have acknowledged the fact that instant identification and analysis of armour losses; especially those in orcified territories is virtually impossible:

Tank battle, 11th regiment of the DPR at the village of Pervomayskoye.
https://vk.com/milinfolive?z=video-1235 ... -123538639
Reports from tankers indicate that there is very little tank to tank combat in this war and in the main the tanks have been used as assault guns. 20+ rounds are carried, only 3 or so AP, the rest HE.
The ammo capacity of the Soviet tank is really low, this must be a significant disadvantage, like it was in WW2.

Re: The end of tanks as we know it?
20+ is only the ammunition stored in the autoloader carousel. Another 19-26 rounds are stored in ammo bins for manual restocking of the carousel.

Re: The end of tanks as we know it?
You are right.
There is a tactic that the Russians use called the "tank carousel". Several tanks take turns shooting at targets, one by one.
