Just something about the brutalist aesthetic that all soviet vehicles have, but it's the most visible on the 55 and 62 AM upgraded tanks in my opinion. Guess it's just the thought that both are essentially WWII tech being used way into the 1990s. To be fair the bosnians also did this but their tanks had a different tactical role due to the lack of hard armor in most areas, with the VMF it was a combination of T-72s being too heavy for landing craft and literally having a budget of 5 USD per month for the entire landing fleet.

Have never been to any tank museums in poland. Are the museums an actual collection of vehicles nowadays or are polish museums also making the switch over to a 'curated experience'?

They are not spectacular but nice enough to drop by when you are around. Especaly when you just like to tak a look on some tanks and other military equipment. It just stands like this in the middle of polish capital city (Warsaw). entrance is free, only the part with small arms charges like 2USD per entry. You can enter and just rome around com block equipment
Thank you for enlightening me. I've always preferred museums where shit is just on a wall and the museum curators do not try to get a shiny bolt or something and have it be the only thing in the room with a metric shit ton of signs around it trying to explain what it is. Shame a lot of museums in western europe are taking the direction of ditching/storing most stuff that's not 100% perfect to present and then end up at only having a few objects for display.
Some pretty nice looking MiG-21Fs too. I'd personally say they are the best looking version of the MiG-21.
am 351 user, for a general purpose scenario i'd say it would suffice. ideally an existing cartridge like the 57mm russian round have a lot of filler for HE, and decent penetrating power on APHE/SAPHE rounds. Expect infantry positions to get butt fucked by about 120 rpm of 57mm HE, same for helicopters.
57mm, while it doesn't have a huge casing behind it, might also be viable for APFDS.
>Would a smaller caliber cannon around 60mm have any practical use in the modern day? The Army planned for the ASM's FIFV to have a 60mm autocannon on it.
To quickly change an APC into an IFV by adding a turret that isn't too cumbersome for a lighter vehicle. Imagine an M1117 with a 90mm turret. Or pic related
