Yes is is, or, rather WAS- In recent years (say, post Crimea annexation as a rough approximation and appropriate geopolitical marker), it has began to become more and more conventional and accepted, entering the lexicon in roughly the same manner and at the same pace as rhe original 'cold war', 'first/second/third world', 'red/blue' (related to red/white, perhaps?), etc, nomenclature did during the (now relevant descriptive term re: the 'first cold war'.). It WAS 'loaded', but, now, and increasingly in the future it will be, IMHO, a useful, generally accepted, and conventional term... Unless, that is, it goes hot! (And there are different conflicts denominated by the term- is it just 'East v West'? ...Or is it as Ideologically descriptive as the original, or Russia Vs USA/NATO, or China vs. WestPac democracy's alliances, or some nebulous combination of any or some or all of the aforementioned combinations? Maybe it's just that kind of a paradigmatic catch-all for a complicated and complex set of modern geopolitical conflicts- not necessarily as close to war as the first cold war, and nowhere near as well-defined.... Sry for rambling... Thoughts?

​@@bholdr----0 Only the one who first came up with the term knows what he exactly meant. I'm a strong opponent of using such terms. For example the term "west" if not used strictly as a relative point in geographical sense, 100 people equals 100 different meanings.

@@matovicmmilan Yet, despite that there may be 100 people with different meanings... Words and terms do have meanings. 'The Second Cold War' does have a meaning as a term, relativistic etymological nihilism aside.

and %100 accurate.

Technically speaking second one was over with USSR's disintegration. Second CW started after Sino Soviet split that's when West started shifting factories to China. Here it was Warsaw Pact vs West & China There is a reason why Russia China border is heavily guarded even today

Yes

You’re living in it

Yeah

You live under a rock, don't you ?

As far as i know you nead about 30mm of armor to use contact 1 there are era Variants for apc's

It could cause a massive degradation of steel and of course bending the armor... could crack at worst... for that kind of armor they have

Is this the origin of the phrase "go out with a bang"? :p

It can mount ERA just fine - so long it's the ERA designed to go on lightly armoured surfaces. Very different from the stuff that goes on the front of MBTs.

It could probably take the additional plate armour upgrade like the BRDM-2s in Russian service are getting.

Wolisz trzecia swiatowa?

What is the close range here?

@@robertkalinic335 20 to 30 meters.

Russia did give an armour upgrade to many BRDM-2s, which this could probably fit a similar kit.

BTR is basically a truck with some armor, it's now when BTR's and BMP's are almost merged into one class of machines but back then they weren't.

Thnks for your intrest. We added the V150 to our list.

Резун пишет фантастику. У БТР-60ПБ всего два недостатка. Он не может ехать по полю боя на одном двигателе. При посадке на ходу есть риск схватиться рукой за горячую выхлопную трубу. Для 60-70 годов он был хорош.

What day?

@@yarmud Thursday

The TAB-77 is based on the BTR-70. The TAB-71 has the same door arrangement as the BTR-60, not the BTR-70. you can see it in the video. And the TAB-71 does not have a diesel engine. It is equipped with two petrol engines, which are just more powerful than the BTR-60.

Experience. 👀

That's the BTR-80.

@@dannyzero692 oh I'm stupid thanks

BTR-60 doesn't even exist in War Thunder, it's the BTR-80A that is in War Thunder, 30mm APDS and a very high top speed and scouting abilities make it a very annoying vehicle to face against
