TL;DR Summary

Russian marines have attached 80-year-old naval guns to 70-year-old armored tractors, creating the MT-LB-2M-3 combat vehicles. However, a video circulating on social media shows that the vehicles are ineffective due to the lack of gun stabilization. The vibration from firing the cannons causes subsequent rounds to miss their target. Gun stabilization is a crucial advancement in ground warfare, allowing for accurate firing even while the vehicle is in motion. The MT-LB-2M-3's inability to stabilize its guns severely hampers its effectiveness in combat.
