This being a grand example of a machine standing the test of time./r/Warcollege exists is to educate about and discuss military history, from the ancients to Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Ukraine Hybrid War. Just because it's old doesn't necessarily make it obsolete, the US for that matter still uses C-130s which were introduced in 1954 and are expected to serve well up into the 2030s or so. It is by far the world's most produced tank as well most used tank. The T-54/55 in particular is still being used commonly and it was released in 1946. SU-100s in that regard are for the most part being used as assault guns for the infantry and being that the Middle East is rife with old technology, they can still stand up to the Cold War tanks that are still being used over there.īesides that, it also depends on how the vehicle in question is being used that also matters. Over in the Middle East there's been SU-100s being used by insurgents and so on, while over in Ukraine there was this one guy who owns a T-34 that he used during the rebellion.Īgainst tanks it's not likely that these AFVs would stand up to them but in low intensity conflict areas where it's mostly infantry - light vehicle based, they still have a purpose as infantry support vehicles (or ISV in short) and etc. Being that there's still tech being used from WWI and WWII around the world, yes.
