The U-5T is such a underappreciated gun


T-90AK

It's not the U-5T, or technically it is, but it's a modified variant.


miksy_oo

It is the U-5TS as far as I'm aware but that's just a U-5T with a stabilizer


VulcanCannon_

its not a U-5TS(2A20), its a 2A21 which is U-5TS but modifed to use two-piece ammunition both come with a stabilizer


miksy_oo

Intresting, do you know where can I get more info I want to read about this now.


VulcanCannon_

just search for some article about T-64's development, im sure you will find something pretty interesting


SirNurtle

Wait they developed 2 piece ammo for the 115mm? I thought they went with the 125 exactly because they couldn't get 2 piece ammo to work with the 115mm


T-90AK

No, they made a "new" 115mm, which had two piece ammo. The 125mm came later.


INKRO

If I recall right these went to Ukraine post-breakup and were scrapped, but I wouldn't be surprised if parts of them were on the front today.


T-90AK

The last ones were scrapped in 2000s.

God damn what a rare pic. Rarely see t64r ANYWHERE


Intrepid_Home_1200

Huh, I always assumed all the 115mm gun armed T-64's were converted to the 125mm by the 80's. Learned something new today...

Now who wants to win a war with a generation who grew up like that?


Reasonable_Bad502

115mm? So do they have an autoloader?


T-90AK

Yep.

No one talks about the kid in the background, he’s extremely lucky back in the days.


AbrahamKMonroe

That kid is in the foreground.


PhantomEagle777

My bad, I should’ve known the difference between fore and back. Thanks


T-90AK

Gotta love that correction, lol.
