Discussion Noticed that Russian military vehicles are usually a lot smaller in comparison to US ones

[Justanotherbloke]

After all this time, I started noticing it.
You look at the BMP-2M or BMP-3 and compare Bradley IFV to them, and the difference is night and day.
Now of course, tanks are well known to be smaller on the Russian side.
T72-B3's are very small, even the T-90M's are much smaller than the Western ones.

US vehicles are often fat and bulky, specifically designed most likely to conduct counter terrorism operations against sandal wearing farmers, while Russian ones are designed for a high intensity peer-to peer conventional war.

Russia is poor fag country

Russian and by definition soviet era doctrine was to have their vehicles be harder to hit and be easy to mass produce on a larger scale, which is why these vehicles are very small compared to their western counterparts because they required less resources to produce and are cheaper to produce than western vehicles. Much of Russia fields besides the new T-14s and T-15s are of soviet era which was made with Soviet era doctrine in mind keeping low profile vehicles for mass production as their doctrine during the cold war was a mass spearhead in Germany which is why they were designed for conventional wars, throughout the modern years they've simply modified the original soviet designs to bring them up to modern standards such as Improved ammo, armor and the such to defeat the newest western armor.

Theft and corruption are rampant in Russia, and it is the same here as in Black Africa. I would not be surprised if 50% of the Russian army budget was spent on: yachts, whores, palaces, luxury cars and other luxuries. Russia is a corrupt hole. Ukrainians said that in the early days there were no radars and other electronics inside the Russian infantry fighting vehicles, because it was pulled out and sold for scrap by Russian officers.

Russian and Soviet military doctrine also does not care about the survival of the crew of a tank or infantry fighting vehicle. Because there is a lot of cannon fodder in Russia and it is not a pity. Therefore, they do not spend money on systems and security and other needs to increase the survival of the crew.

Americans are fat fucks requiring fat fucking vehicles.

Which is why russian tanks had the reputation of flying turrets, due to autoloaders design the crew sit on top the ammo, so in the event of a penetrating hit it would cook off and kill the entire crew inside and causing the turret to fly off, although it was mostly the charges stored outside the carousel that causes ammo detonations, unlike western designs like the Leopard 2 or Abrams with blowout panels incase the ammo was hit.

In Russia/USSR, the life of a soldier/man is worthless.

Yeah pretty much, but I mean it worked for them in WW2 Blitzing the Blitzkrieg back to Berlin with sheer manpower, probably not so much in the modern era which is why you're starting to see T-14s have better crew survivability in mind.

T14 will be located in Russia as a means of protecting the Putin regime and nothing more. In my opinion, a Russian official answered the question of why Russia does not use armata in Ukraine, he replied that it is too expensive for such an expense, and the lives of infantry are much cheaper.

T14 is a meme tank,
Just like the moon Landing.
You've heard about it l, saw clips of it but never witnessed it in real life.
Doubt the t14 will be a reliable tank during high intensity conflicts.
Most likely will be part of specialized units for internal affairs rather than wars, like you said
