For anyone who doesn't understand, tanks and aircraft especially are a lot like race cars is the sense that a 1950s race car may be cool and fast, but compared to a modern one it ain't sh!t and this isn't a field where second place gets to compete the next week... modern: armor, sensors, countermeasures, comms gear, crew comforts or survivability... Yes, an ancient tank vs infantry equipped only with small arms is still formidable (but defea, but these are much more defeatable than what was being used.
Desperate Putin, 70, brings tanks as old as he is out of retirement
A video showing long obsolete Soviet-era T-54B and T-55A tanks on a train carried across Russia, presumably destined for the frontlines of the war, has emerged today.www.dailymail.co.uk

Getting wiped out by Ukranian units.They may be using ancient equipment, but while people are laughing at them from their cozy recliners, they are wiping out Ukrainian units with it.

They need another UFO to crash land...for the next tech leap.....B-52s are a bit of an exception that proves the rule - they've tried to replace them three times now. And the current B-52s in the fleet were built in the '70s.

True, but the closest thing to a peer-peer engagement for them was Vietnam, which is a solid 55 years ago now...Not like we use any old B52 bombers or anything.
Mark Felton has some YouTube videos of old weapons seen in use in the war...I heard a comment on a news program today (Well, Phil DiFranco, if you consider him a news service.) that Maxim guns are in use, apparently in surprising numbers, in the conflict.
Oh, well built in the 70's. So they are only 53 years old...B-52s are a bit of an exception that proves the rule - they've tried to replace them three times now. And the current B-52s in the fleet were built in the '70s.
Um. Okay. Right...Ooof! If fhe Ukrainians are being killed by both the Russians and Ukrainians then that’s really rough. I was only referring to the ukranian struggles against the Russians.

As one young USAF Officer/Pilot told me: They are the original airframes; but every part has been changed, so none are actually from the 1950’s.B-52s are a bit of an exception that proves the rule - they've tried to replace them three times now.
