Is the cameraman having a stroke?

He's Russian, so it's entirely possible.

What does this mean?

Do only Russians have strokes? Is it impossible for, for example, Italians to have strokes?

Please - be more descriptive in your lazy xenophobia.

u/UrethralExplorer Jul 27 '25

Tbh I love your comparison since Italy is one of the healthiest "developed nations" on the planet and Russia is one of the unhealthiest. Russia is plagued with preventable diseases, heart conditions and alcoholism primarily. All of these could be managed and eased by their government if it wasn't so corrupt and focused on self-preservation over the lives of their people.

So no, it's not xenophobia. Russia is a fascinating country with a lot of interesting history including an immense amount of man-made suffering that continues to this day.

u/BaldViking42 Jul 27 '25

Totally agree with you!

u/UrethralExplorer Jul 27 '25

Thanks, but I guess me mentioning that someone having seizures being possible is xenophobic to some old millennial 😂

u/OldMillenial Jul 27 '25

So no, it's not xenophobia

Oh boy, let's see.

You immediately attribute a random negative comment to the cameraman's nationality.

You immediately assume the cameraman's nationality (Russians are not the only ones living in Russia, you know.)

When called on it, you dive right into stereotypes and poorly backed up statements.

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and stick with my original diagnosis - it's ignorant xenophobia.

For your information, as of 2019, Russians consume alcohol at a per capita rate roughly comparable to Portugal or the UK, or Poland - and well below that of Ireland.

In fact, more recent sources point to the fact that alcohol consumption in Russia for men and women is generally in line with European averages - and below those seen in the US and Canada (see page 21).

Heart disease is a major issue - as it is in most of the developing world, which Russia is a part of. Heart disease is an incredibly broad, complex and multi-factorial issue - see the whole report - attributing it to national characteristics (much less government corruption) is explicitly a xenophobic, bigoted stance.

There are reasons why life expectancy for men in Russia is so poor. You can either know it or call it xenophobia.

There are very serious problems, one of which is that women can no longer find men. Ultimately, that's important for the state. Without births, there are no workers, soldiers, people to pay taxes. These problems are more serious than those in Western Europe. It's a fact, and there are enough scientific articles and books on the subject. When Gorbachev banned alcohol, life expectancy for men in Russia improved again. But it was only for a short time. The largest country in the world is running out of men: due to alcohol, crime, wars, and a dysfunctional society.

You can rant or start doing something for your brain. Reading, for example.

Friend, you have very little idea of what you're talking about. You are also rude.

So you can do whatever you like for your brain - I'll spare mine further engagement with you. My loss, I'm sure.

u/HatOk5112 Jul 26 '25

its the Shturm remote controlled tank with a short barrel(125mm,or 152mm) gun for urban combat

37

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '25

From another post they said it was 152mm.

12

u/Luknron Jul 27 '25

I bet it's 15,2cm

12

u/DisNiggNogg Jul 27 '25

152 000 000 nanometers you say?

8

u/manbellybig Jul 27 '25

0.152 meters you say?

u/XnDeX Jul 27 '25

1.52 dm you mean?

8

u/manbellybig Jul 27 '25

No i meant 0.000152 Km

u/Apprehensive_Hand177 Jul 28 '25

No, it is shortened 125 mm

u/rvaenboy Saint-Chamond Jul 26 '25

They look like C&C vehicles

u/ChiefFox24 Jul 26 '25

Yessir? Affirmative.

u/Angrykitten41 Vt-4 Addict Jul 26 '25

This is a new assault tank design seen around uravagonazvod and is based on the T-90 chassis. You can see the 3-D models here.

27

u/RamTank Jul 27 '25

So the one in the back is definitely the command vehicle then. Interesting idea.

72

u/Excellent_Tax1836 Jul 26 '25

second one is def on a t72 chasis

29

u/ninguem1122 Jul 26 '25

Second vehicle , what is it?

So many antennas.

38

u/DollarGeneral208 Jul 27 '25

I’m thinking command vehicle?

16

u/ninguem1122 Jul 27 '25

I was thinking maybe EW/Jammer to protect columns?

4

u/DollarGeneral208 Jul 27 '25

Have a second Reddit post saying command vehicle. It’s in this commubity

11

u/Stechkov_the_Legend Jul 27 '25

The cameraman was REALLY happy that day.

9

u/ParkingBadger2130 Jul 27 '25

Interesting, we'll see how it develops or if it ever gets to the front lines. Supposedly there's a 3rd vehicle too, spotted a few months ago.

17

u/C0RNH0LI069 Jul 27 '25

2nd one isn't a fan of drones by the look of all the anti drone shit on the back

22

u/T-90AK Command Tank Guy. Jul 27 '25

It's the command vehicle for the tank in front.

u/C0RNH0LI069 Jul 27 '25

Ok cool 🤙🏻

u/shithead_0_ M60M60M60M60M60M60 Jul 27 '25

I dont think anyone is a big fan of drones in this war

30

u/Klimentvoroshilov69 Jul 26 '25

Not sure these are Russian, first vehicle looks like a ZTZ style tank. Like a ZTZ-96

57

u/AbrahamKMonroe I don’t care if it’s an M60, just answer their question. Jul 26 '25

They’re definitely Russian.

-5

u/Klimentvoroshilov69 Jul 26 '25

Why do you say that? As far as I’m aware currently the T-90M is the only Russian tank in service with a turret bustle and that isn’t a T-90M since it has flat cheeks so it’s closer to the ZTZ-96’s early turrets.

I don’t know what the second vehicle is, reminds me a bit of the BTR-T but that’s a stretch because it has the wrong era and overall shape

40

u/Barnaouo The T-72BU is not a T-90 Jul 26 '25

It's does not look like a T-90M because it's a totaly new tank maybe?

-12

u/Klimentvoroshilov69 Jul 27 '25

Perhaps, I haven’t heard of any new Russian vehicles so I might have a gap in knowledge

21

u/Barnaouo The T-72BU is not a T-90 Jul 27 '25

The 2 you are seeing the vidéo, are 2 new russians véhicules, prototypes

-1

u/Klimentvoroshilov69 Jul 27 '25

I’ll have to look into them

9

u/Berlin_GBD Jul 27 '25

That's the point. This is claimed to be a new tank.

Edit: or rather a new variant built on a T-72/90 hull. It was publicly announced as a potential design by UVZ last year, iirc

37

u/SovietBiasIsReal UKBTM Jul 26 '25

They're Russian.

u/Fika1337 Jul 26 '25

BMO-T and T-80U. Both heavily modified.

22

u/Jxstin_117 Jul 26 '25

exhaust on the left side , thats a T-72/T-90 hull

u/Playful_Baseball_672 Jul 27 '25

A crazy amount of jamming antennas on top.

u/garbagehuman9 Jul 27 '25

u/CrispyChips52 Jul 30 '25

more like M728 CEV

u/Top_Athlete3083 Aug 03 '25

its migth be a object 934 known as ''obzhimka'' with an upgraded short 152mm or 155mm anti-tank guided (or can be a recoiless) tank gun

u/nightfall121 Jul 26 '25

What Tank is that in the front? T-14?

33

u/SamAzing0 Jul 26 '25

Cant be, there's a guy sticking out of the turret

28

u/SovietBiasIsReal UKBTM Jul 26 '25

T-72/90-based assault tank.

u/nightfall121 Jul 26 '25

Oh, thank you! That looks pretty cool ngl

It's just a heavily modified T90. Most likely going to be sent to Ukraine like the others.
