Good work from Ukraine. Tomorrow we will hit 8000 APCs!

Still heavily chipping away at artillery. Are they also counting T55's that were converted to be makeshift artillery cannons?

First time I'm hearing this lol. Do they just park the tanks on an incline and fire the gun into the air? Are there pics?

It's mostly been put as a rumour. They're mostly founded on the fact that Iran still produces 100mm shells that fit.

How to fire? I'm not a tanker, but I'd imagine similarly to mortar with a spotter drone in the air.

There's been a few vids of T62 in the windbreaks. Engine off and firing indirectly
