    Remember when yanks and yankee stans were all foaming at the mouth about how super clever abrams design has ammo in a separate storage, with an armoured screen shielding the crew? IIRC it’s also supposed to be kept wet too. “Not like stoopid asiatic sovok design which has no care for the life of the crew and keeps ammo in the tank, alongside the so dangerous autoloader!!!111”

    I remember. I remember it well.

      Far too well. I know some tech bros who have a regular NAFO circle jerk and this shit was right up their alley.

      It’s made.it really hard to interact with any of them since finding out about it.

        See also the discussion here. Thirty years after USSR was demolished, yanks copied soviet weapons platforms and started selling them as brand new, no analogues evar, exclusive genius ideas. And they couldn’t even copy them right

          Oh fucking hell. I should have guessed. I work in the public sector and the private always takes our work as well as the credit via public-private partnerships. Same thing they’ve always done. These capitalist fuckers can’t even invent their own stuff anymore.
