The auto loader is the biggest weakness. It is what causes the turret to blow up due to the design necessitating an open egress between the turret and the ammo. Get rid of the autoloader and introduce a 4th crewman to relieve the overburden of tasks and work to do and gives an extra set of eyes to spot any enemy infantry or anti tank teams. a 4th crewman is a must for any modern tank. Gives better situational awareness.

China would be able to sell those US bonds to Japan and others who want to buy them at a discount. Sure China would lose some money but in the long run, China actually gains because its yuan currency will appreciate. It is actually better in the long run because as China's population ages, there will be less workers so they need to increase the value of the assets and if the yuan appreciates, their value of their assets will increase, giving the aging population some needed equity and will boost up domestic consumption.
why would anyone buy your bonds right after you scam someone off of your bonds ?

Yes, I did not want to seem like an insensitive asshole, but it would be really stupid of the Russians to blow up a train station right when EU reps are visiting, plus, did you notice the comment in my post... one guy says the missile is operated by Ukraine. That said, the Russians are no above human rights abuses.. it could be a case where they suspected Ukrainian commanders of escaping and decided to blow up the station.

I would like to see if someone can validate that the missile fired on the train station is exclusively Ukrainian.. until then, the Russians continue to be suspect.
We truly do live in a post truth world - Just earlier this year the Russian state media showed Tochka-U missile launches as part of military excercise. Besides Tochka-U TEL have been caught on video multiple times in Russia/Belarus.

Read the first sentence of that article- these missiles are part of the Belorussian arsenal, not Russian. So now Ukrobots are claiming Russians conducted the strike using kit borrowed from Belorus in order to blame it on the Ukrainians. Even if one were to accept the absurd Ukrainian claims about these missiles, Russia had no motive to launch this attack and in fact had every reason not to.

Russia is currently using far better Iskander. It is like saying that Russia brought some T-55s, because there are still some of them sitting somewhere in the fields of Siberia.
Russia is still using non upgraded T-72s when it has Armata.. You put to use everything you have...

Because Japan is a sucker for US bonds and needs US Market and Japan blindly follows US so Japan will get a good bargain out of it.
No one is sucker enough to buy an item you just proved to be a fake item. If USA tries to fake out of its treasury bond, then no one will buy any more of its treasury bonds....

Interestingly the Wikipedia marks Russia as a user of the Tochka-U. Need to cross check with multiple sources. It's possible that the Wiki is just peddling propaganda.
