Hey bro,

Are you still here.

Can you give us your thoughts on Tank warfare in the war in Ukraine.

We have seen many modern tank battles in this war, by your parameters, which do you think is the superior Main Battle Tank in the world right now.

I think the T-90M is a game changer.

The T-80BVM has also been great too.

The Leo tank hasn't lived up to the hype in my opinion.

The T-72B3 and T-90A have also been disappointing.

What are your thoughts?

How u doing bro?

Long time no see

Regarding your question
My answer is any tank that carries me through the war safe and sound will be my favourite tank

Perse final effectiveness of a weapon system like a tank in a battlefield is not a inherent factor of that tank, much of its effectiveness depends on extrinsic factors like quality of crew operating it, tactics being run etc

The events in the ongoing wars has proved that OEM lead propaganda is best not taken seriously

And given the no of cheap and varied anti tanks threats which exists today and increasing, the soviet practice of having large no of cheap mass produced and resonably competitive tanks makes sense rather than having few gold plated so called technologically superior tanks

Whenever we address a problem there are multiple ways to see it

What I did just now is give a top level overview, bec it addresses the entire chain, which will actually drive your war effort against a peer adversary, from production to deployment to attrition to replenishment

Long story short, bro I don't have a favourite type but I would prefer indigenous tank - a mix between the capabilities of T series and Western analogues, and importantly with the entire chain from production to deployment to replenishment at my disposal

And tank by itself is a liability without proper trained crew, proper capabilities, proper support, proper tactics, proper logistics etc

And just of the sake of a answer T90 series (T90M if i can have it) seems a good choice as of now amongst the options you gave, provided you have a robust production to replenishment capability in-house, the latter is the key factor, otherwise no different than the others in my opinion

This makes sense , thanks for providing your viewpoint.
