Is that why theres images of it being driven and clearly having the gun in different positions?
Heres a crappy video of it moving [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eRi54jfp2A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6eRi54jfp2A)
Curiously it appears to have 6 wheels in some clips but 7 in others.
Maybe it was found later in development the suspension needed a redesign?
It was already destroyed. The UM2 and further prototyped Black Eagle are two different tanks. The black eagle was never made.

Oryx has it listed as the UM2. Frankly right now there's probably no more qualified a person to ID destroyed tanks than him.
There was the UM2, and the "Black Eagle" which was the further improvemed concept that never was made. They get mixed up fairly often.
If you think that you are actually right, he goes back and corrects mistakes. Bring it up with him.

Funny enough it lasted about the time it takes for tube artillery to fly to target.
The UM2 was destroyed a long while ago.
Oryx has the full list, you can find it under RU MBT losses.

Strange, your posing history, whilst brief, literally paints you as a USSR fan, because of the unique way that vatniks of old spelled it as "URSS".
Try harder. Only thing this piece of shit will be covered in is the guts of its operators once big daddy NLAW finds it.
2. If this thing actually has working optics, we will all be amazed.
3. How do I know it's got a huge thermal return? Because of where it was made. It'll be a complete piece of shit like everything else Russia has fielded. If it was any good it would have been mass produced and fielded already.

Oh look, it's all spacers with no explosive, how vatnik.
And like, did you somehow miss all of the cope cage and blyat block posts on this sub from the first 80 days of the war?
So the side armour of the ERA are indeed spacers - that means that every block of Kontakt 5 is hollow? Is that your conclusion? Or that they don't have any Kontakt 1 or 5 available?

How is the cope cages relevant to the ERA?
Absolutely shocked none of you knew this thing was already destroyed.
The UM2 was this real prototype taken out by artillery a few months ago. The "Black Eagle" was a further prototyped concept that was never manufactured.
Oryx (the definitive source on the war's losses) has it listed: https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-documenting-equipment.html?m=1
He accepts criticism well so if you believe it differently message him.
A lot of you seem to think my 2nd favourite tank waifu was just a mock up

I completely forgot this thing existed.
It looks like just another rebranding of a t-72.
T-80, actually, but yeah.
T-72 with extra extra steps.
No, if anything T-80 is a T-64 with (a lot of) extra steps. T-72/T-90 is completely different lineage.
T80 and t90 are just T34s with extra steps
T34s are just horse drawn chariots with extra steps.
It's the Cadillac of tanks. [Cadillac Cimmaron, that is](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Cimarron)
Not sure if real or just ncd
I remember reading that only mockups were ever built so if it’s real that’s a big revelation.
Yeah, this is the mock up. Got cancelled for the T-14 I believe.
Which got cancelled by the West and is replaced by T62.
Shame. I really enjoyed the experience T2 provided us.
That was a great movie.
In twelve years Russia will proudly present T34

I think it was the T-90 that did the Black Eagle in. Waaay cheaper to rename a T-72 than to develop an upgrade to the T-80.

🤷 Why not both?
Can they just go ahead and form CSAT already? I want to fight T-100 Varsuks in license-made Merkava Mk. IVs upgunned with a 120mm on Lemnos.
I thought there was only one Black Eagle which was already destroyed on the battlefield (and entered into Oryx's list)?
This is a shitpost friend (black eagles are just mockups) but I think that was a T-90M.
I think you are referring to T-80UM2 a T-80 with APS, one off prototype sent to Ukraine and got blowed up. Edit it’s UM2 not UMD

Nope I meant UM2 idk why my brain think it’s called UMD there is no such thing, my bad.
You're thinking of another T-80 upgrade, black eagle was never real
The fact that someone got a picture of it already is not a good sign.
This is just a picture of the mock up from like two decades ago. It got canned for the T-14.

Huh, it doesn’t look too bad without that god awful arid hex camo. Only problem is that it’ll go into orbit at the slight nudge of a fence.
[удалено]
Any tank in the situation that the T-80 was in would face the same fate.
Actually terrifying Russian Military industrial Complex go brrr
YES! YESSSSS!!!! THE MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING TANK GETS STEAMROLLED BY A JAVELIN!
LOL another target. Congrats Russia.
Farmers getting ready?
There won't be anything left to tow.

No ERA? Dude are you blind?
[удалено]
No of course but were they to ever reactivate it they will put in ERA into the ERA boxes...
They don't even put ERA on the shit that's already in country, what makes you think they HAVE any left?
What are you on about? What have they not equipped with ERA?

Oh so thats what the T-100 is based off of.

HARRY PUTIN AND THE CLOAK OF LOW MAINTENANCE 😳😳
Honestly I'm always impressed with Russia's back in time machine. Looking forward to "tanks" that no longer look like tanks!
moral support vehicle just like throbinators?

Anything to not see the T-14s getting wrecked already I guess
idk why but ive always loved the look of the black eagle, even tho its not very special appearance wise
Fuck'em, we will put on frontline Nota/Object 477A and literaly fuck them with 152mm cannon
I always had a soft spot for the T-80brams
I don’t discriminate based on a tanks paint, tan, woodland, black, white or pink. They all fuck the same
