In the USA, they don’t see the potential of the Su-57 fighter and T-14 tank

March 14 2020 39

Modern Russian weapons are a topic that constantly annoys the US military and weapons experts.

Sandboxx blog posted a record of former US Marine Corps officer Alex Hollings, in which he expresses doubts that the Russian promising Su-57 fighter and T-14 Armata tank have any military potential.

According to the author, for Moscow it is enough that they are talking and arguing about her new weapon all over the world. At the same time, in reality, this new weapon does not have mass production.

The author notes that Russia continues to develop these systems, despite the inability to finance their mass production.

Hollings is convinced that this is because the mere presence of military potential is often enough for Russia to be mentioned in the media alongside more formidable opponents such as the United States or China.

Further, the former military cites the examples of Su-57, T-14 Armata fighters, Poseidon, a promising global long-range nuclear torpedo, RS-28 Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missile, and the Burevestnik nuclear-powered low-flying cruise missile, emphasizing that the presence of these weapons “constitutes a threat”, and the lack of mass production of the corresponding weapons “ultimately does not matter”.

We are no longer referring to former generals, but simply to former military personnel ??? What kind of hill will they say ???
Here, the GRF Tolboev is not asking anything ...

And so, those who did not reach the troops Armata and Su are sucked by how much in vain every day somewhere ...

And what is the potential of the M1A2 Abrams tank, which can be destroyed by a 12,7 mm sniper rifle, hitting the auxiliary engine, thereby causing a fuel system fire, or the Leopard-2, which explodes from the first shot from an RPG into the area of the second rink (direct getting into part of the ammunition) ?!

        By the way, Mr. Arkharov, I understand that the logic you and Marzhecki have is special, but still let me ask you a question - If in Syria, Arabs exported 5 Turkish Leopards-2A4s to the light army with export versions of your weapon, then on what basis did you Do you think that we will not be able to do this with our non-export anti-tank weapons? Do you consider us (the Russian military) cowards, or ignoramuses, in comparison with the Arab soldiers, or you just don’t really like us and you want to wish out for reality? If you just don’t love us, just say so, there will be no more questions ...

    Little. Abrams is only one, if you count. Destroyed my unit.
    You see, creating a "miracle weapon" is the lot of Goebbels and journalists. You can fight on any technique. In Syria, both leopards and abrams burn very well, widely advertised, and if you believe, then "unkillable and great." Therefore, in the Russian section of the Internet, experts joke about the American "miracle weapon". In 1977, our deputy returned from Vietnam. head of the school. The Vietnamese army was then armed with Soviet American and Chinese equipment. Once in class, we asked him - how do the Vietnamese military evaluate the equipment of different countries? The answer was - in peacetime, the American one is good, but it is better to fight in the Soviet one ... Comments are unnecessary.

The discussion of the esteemed comrades has deviated somewhat from the topic of the article. It’s not about how good or bad the Su-57 or the Armata tank is, the point is that they do not exist in reality and they will not appear in the foreseeable future.

  Everything is relative. In 2008, the Russian Federation had only a few missed weapons, essentially experimental Su-34s, which did not prevent them from being thrown into battle .. moreover, successfully. So in case of war, and the Su-57 will go into battle, there is no doubt about that ...

      Su-34 in 2008 was even less. This did not prevent them from successfully undergoing baptism of fire.

  You are wrong, the Su-57, T-14 and other models are and exist and are even in service with the units, but there are very few of them. For quite objective reasons. First, they are very expensive. Second, the old technique is still successfully solving all problems. Third, a conceptually new technique takes a lot of time to catch fleas in a structure. Third, the application of this technique requires a change in the psychology of the crews and command. All reasons take time.

In order for its own man in the street to have a constant mess, the West constantly alternates stuffing about terrible Russians with the same fakes about "vodka, matryoshka, balalaika". This is propaganda and nothing more.
As one Hitler officer wrote home from the front:

We thought that Russians have only half-rotten villages, and they have modern cities and factories.

- (not literally, but this is the point). The next "fighters for democracy" will surely bury them with the same letters.

Maybe so, maybe not. Not important. For this retired grief expert, a kick in the ass by an "ancient" kirzach will be enough. They are all "heroes" until they get close to the Russian conscripts in hand-to-hand combat.
