The Russian army is not only being called into question because of its heavy losses in the Ukraine, but also because of the age of its materiel.<\/p>\n

The images of the mobilization by Russia of tanks T-54 and T-55 of the 1950s<\/a><\/rel>
\nThe disaster of the old Russian T-62s: dozens of them have been captured by Ukraine<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

Until now not a single photo has appeared to prove the announced deployment of the modern Russian T-14 Armata tank<\/a>, what has appeared today is, so to speak, its great-grandfather. This afternoon, the Ukrainian Twitter account Special Kherson Cat<\/a> has spread images of an abandoned Russian T-54B tank at the front line<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The published images show the old Russian tank on a muddy road. The tank is equipped with the anti-Javelin grill <\/strong> which was already shown on more modern Russian tanks at the beginning of the invasion, and which proved completely useless against modern man-portable anti-tank missiles. The mounting of this accessory seems more like an attempt to reassure the crews<\/strong>, something illusory when we talk about a tank designed in the 1940s.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The first prototype of the T-54 was built in late 1945<\/strong>, shortly after the end of World War II. The model finally entered service in 1948. The T-54B version was designed in 1955<\/strong>, introducing a 100mm D-10T2S gun with stabilizer, and entered production in 1957. Thus, Russia is sending a pre-Vietnam War tank model to the front lines.<\/strong><\/p>\n
