>sending sensitive military equipment to an unfriendly nation so they can peer at it.
>sending your armoured vehicles to compete in a competition designed to test vehicles to foreign standards.
What next? the US invites Russia to test its radars at red flag?
>>34178254
Do you know how old the Abrams is my friend? If Russia doesn't already know it inside and out, I would be extremely shocked. Hell, I'd be pretty surprised if they didn't have one in a warehouse.

>Half the challenges have nothing to do with a real war scenario
What a foolish game.

On the one hand I guarantee the course would be weighted to favor the Ruskies in some way and could turn into an international embarassment. On the other hand it would be badass.
As to security concerns just send a Lep 2a4 and an M1a1 rather than the latest package. It's not like they are actually testing the armor, and anon is right that the Russians probably have at least one each of the M1 and Leopard in storage somewhere, or at least very detailed tech specs.

>static targets
yeah I will pass
>>34178295
It's propaganda. I don't care as long as the Russian government wastes money for my entertainment.

ITT: betthert westfags crying foul
Meanwhile T-72 God of War trucks on...
>>34178364
You realize Russia isn't the only country that holds Tank Biathlons, right?
>>34178435
More like God of tossing turrets
>>34178474
>T-72 get hit by also russian ATGMs
>get shrecked
>somehow this means tank isn't fine
>>34178523
>turret only a mere meter away from the tank
>zero style points
You are like baby. Watch this.
>>34178601
yeah, the barrel getting stuck in the dirt happens quite a bit I noticed. kind helps realize what force is at work here.....
>>34178694
It's almost like the t-72 likes to toss turrets like a jack in the box!
>>34178334
China accused them of such after they attended, the claims and counter-claims are always eventually posted in a Russian tank biathlon thread.
>>34178254
I think the Russians know everything about western tanks, already.
>>34178152
Aside from the intel issue, there's also the fact that russia has changed rules at random at these tank biathlons as it suits them, in an attempt to make sure they have a chance to win. Multiple times the chinks were superior, but were slapped with random rules to break their lead.
It's sad, cuz it's a fun competition otherwise.
>NATO partners
Fuck off, you Slavic troglodyte fucks.
>>34178152
>Thread full of westerner pussies pussying out
Lol, pussies.
>>34178827

Why should we care?
NATO already have tank contest which much more closer to real combat.
And if you want to see how Abrams perform in battle Ivan, go Google "Gulf War" or "Iraq War".
>>34178152
Do it do it do it do it
I want to see everyones' tears when the LeClerc out performs everything.
>>34178474
>>34181151
oh my god
>>34178152
>russians are so cucked they need to hold games to feel superior
>constantly cheat and change the rules so they look better
>thinking this proves anything when NATO would just bomb your tanks into the dirt
>NATO laughing
>>34178975
You're being way too obvious. You should report to your superiors for retraining.
Am i the only one that thinks this is a good idea?
>>34181151
i don't smoke but would so buy this
>>34178266
>Do you know how old the Abrams is my friend?
The current model is less than a decade old.
>>34178152
NATO don't want to participate in a shitshow where Russian make all the rule and they can just change them to fit their agenda
>>34184426
>Gook shills are still upset their yellow monkey tank turned out to be a complete garbage that is falling apart on the way
Gook shill, please.
>>34178254
thats why turbofaggots like you arent competing
>>34178761
The chinktank is by far the worst pile of garbage that drives there.
Every other crew drives the t72, yet the chinks have to sperg out.
>>34184678
i dare you to say that at the end of this year Army Game
>>34178436
Well at least, NATO take their exercises seriously and base on reality, sharing their experience and don't have flambouant display and alot of publicity stunts. Russia on the other hand..........
>>34178254
Most competitors just use T-72s anyways. There's not really any "sensitive military equipment" on the line.
