Really? You want to BET ME that 6.102 inches doesn't equal 155mm? Please do.
You are still evading my question, with another irrelevant question.Wanna bet me
No, I judge everything as an engineer, a designer, but you insist on the strict interpretation of the ground soldier. Don't you understand that all of these machines are a continuous variation on a theme? From the short range high trajectory mortar fire, to the mid range and long range of the tanks and howizers--- the main, most important difference between tanks and howitzers are that the tank has a smaller gun to fire at shorter range at a more flat trajectory close in requiring heavy protective plating while the mobile canon sits far back firing long range higher trajectory out of immediate threat from the enemy so only needs lighter armor plating to protect its scaled up gun. But both are still big guns driven on a mobile, track-fed carrier.Tell me, do you judge everything in life purely on appearance?
but you insist on the strict interpretation of the ground soldier
Thanks for the heads up.And we are talking about military equipment.
No, I just used to work for a defense contractor who made much of the armor plating used. I comprehend the equipment just fine, just look at it differently as an engineer conceptually realizing that many of them are variations on a theme to optimize for specific apps, but you seem unwilling to concede and keep arguing minutiae, trivialities and irrelevancies that so I guess we will just agree to disagree.Once again, you are simply showing over and over that you do not comprehend military equipment.

It is "minutiae and trivialities" that other than the most gross appearance they are nothing alike?
TRAIN OF FRESH OUR TANKS ARRIVING FOR UKRAINE -- Replenishment for Armed Forces of Ukraine
"Freedom must be better armed than tyranny." - President Volodymyr Zelensky "Early Christmas presents for Ukraine: Panzerhaubitze 2000 - 10 rounds per minute, effective firing range 67km"
you joke is too old even for RT.ru
the reality :
The Ukrainian Army Has More Tanks Now Than When The War Began—Because It Keeps Capturing Them From Russia
The Ukrainian Army Has More Tanks Now Than When The War BeganâBecause It Keeps Capturing Them From Russia
Ukraine uses many of the same models of tanks that Russia does. There's evidence that at least some of the Russian armor the Ukrainians have captured has been put back into use ... shooting at Russians.www.forbes.com
by the way you represent the minority , the majority of Israelis support Ukraine
Actually, the comparisons are not quite right.
You are aware that modern helicopters are powered by jet engines, right? They have been for over 60 years now.
But there is just as big of a difference between a howitzer and a tank than between any other vastly different pieces of equipment.
Would you confuse this with a tank?
Because this literally is the same thing. An 155mm howitzer. The other one simply has it's own chassis to drive it around, instead of having to be towed. And I do mean that literally, it is the exact same gun. They just drive themselves, and can be emplaced and roadmarched faster.
However, as they have a limited number of rounds with them they are more used in a mobility phase of an operation, and are not as flexible as the towed variants.
However, as they are indirect fire weapons, there is a huge difference (without counting the armor and that they can be fired on the move) with a tank. As tanks are direct fire weapons.
In fact, the Howitzer has more in common with this:
Than it does with any tank.
The crews in those howitzers...poor mofu's going to all get cooked in those steel coffins. Such a damned tragedy
its your choice
.
Oh Gawd...
Hate to break the bad news to you sOn but the Russian operation makes the German blitzkrieg of Poland in 1939 look like "The Attack of the Incompetents"
Drrrrr
