Damn this one doin numbers... Hullo there Lazerpig fans
This war has been showing the world just how right you are about how much these tanks suck.
LazerPig Team Up! _TEAM UUUUUUP!!!_
BTW, what is tank from option A?
Yep, blame Lazerpig.
im a fan of you too
This video has aged a lot better than many videos talking about how great the tank is
Yes, yes it has.
Redeffect is emotionally damage
considering its losing to non-NATO country this video was pretty generous as it used NATO as the enemy.
@@MuscleboundKage that non-NATO country is using NATO anti-tank weaponry, some of it (reportedly) were kept in storage since the 80's
And the tanks themselves didn't age well :D
As we could see in past 3 weeks, its turret ejection system is utterly stellar tho
🤣 It’s the only thing that seems to function well!
🤣 🤣
Aircraft ejection systems are designed to get the crew out before the fireball. Timing on the tank still seems a little off and need improvement.
I never understand the yankee tankers. Like bro, yeah. Its not like an abrahams would survive that shot either.
@@arcani695 you're probably right. It is just that the T72s make the failure spectacular. The Abrams have a lot more technology that allows them to engage from farther, more effectively. Tank on tank at least the Abrams can shake off a lot of things. As to AGTMs, I don't know.
Jokes aside, an advanced, non frontline combat vehicle hull that can be easily modified into anything from a howitzer carrier to a mobile hospital to a bridge layer should absoulty be named the John Smith.

To be fair, sending tanks into urban combat situations without adequate troop support is a bad idea for any countries armour.
the issue is most prominent when you stack 2 of the 3 crew members you have right above highly explosive ammo. just about every other mbt has blowout panels that protect the crew, and don’t as frequently use era, which may make it less dangerous for troops to be near
@@panicc580 the newest T-90 variant (T-90M) have blowout panels in the back and individual wet storage for ammo in the carousel if im not mistaken. The thing is soviet tanks had no space in the turrets and russians implement it decades after NATO tanks. Budget issue and they were too late to implement it to all of their vehicles i suppose :/
@@panicc580 Thank you for repeating myths. WHY do Russian MBTs have the ammo carousel low in the tank at the bottom of the turret? Because that is the SAFEST place to put it. US WW2 Sherman's became the least likely tanks to burn once the ammunition was moved to the bottom of the turret. Why is this? Because the bottom of the turret is the most heavily protected part of the tank and the least likely part to be hit. The carousel is where it is for their interpretation of improving crew surviveability. Now, WHY do Russian MBTs have such a habit of their ammo brewing up? Because the carousel only holds 22 rounds. Where do the other 18 rounds go? Yup. Up in the turret, the part of the tank most likely to be hit. It's stuffed everywhere they can find space. Rarely is it the carousel that gets hit and cooks off. It's the ammunition carried up in the turret that gets hit. When crews go into battle with ONLY the 22 rounds in the carousel, as they did after sustaining heavy losses in Chechnya, the tanks rarely suffered ammunition fires. Usually only after getting hit by a HUGE IED. T-90 improves this by putting 10 rounds into a separate bustle, but 8 rounds are still carried in the turret. (Dumb) There is nothing preventing them from putting blow-out panels on the bottom and sealing the autoloader when it is not cycling. They've just determined that it's not worth the effort. WHY do western MBTs have blow out panels? Because they put the ammunition in a VERY vulnerable place, high in the turret. A place where it is VERY likely to be hit. Especially with top-attack munitions. There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
Oh my dear friend... No, the russian junks are not protected by this way... This is the protection of the Leo2s only... Bullcrap the whole video.
lack of vission in this thing makes it expacily bad idea.....you literly dont see what is coming at you lol

@@aardvarkbiscuit2677 Well... the US never put themselves in a position where they might have to regain their tanks from the enemy, mostly because those in charge quickly determined that tanks are pretty ineffective in the terrain of Afghanistan and thats why you almost never saw them. At least they had relatively (please note relatively) competent leadership compared to the Russian mess in Ukraine
ngl the t-90 looks like the meanest tank out there, when you dont know anything about tanks and go by looks.
Yeah I really like it's looks
@SparksProx I like that, looks like medieval fish scale armour.
Vladamir is named after Vladamir Popov, the chief of UVZ design bureau. Legend has it, he saved the Russian tank industry during the 1990s, partially owing to securing a very large order from India. The Vladamir name was given by the Indian delegation BTW, which UVZ later adopted
No Popov, Potkin
Their "rapid unscheduled disassembly" capabilities are second to none
It's not even worth blowing up. They have so many tanks and so few support vehicles. You're making their logistics better by blowing them up. I'd go after the fuel trucks. They are very short on those.
turret ejection system
@@Arigator2 That´s what they are doing now... The number of destroyed support vehicles is quite important. A tank without ammo or fuel is just scrap in the middle of nowhere.
@@FPV-Drones especially so since they have more tanks than they could ever use and so little of everything else.

For the next YFTS video, while this was a year ago and you've likely already selected and storyboarded one out, I'd love to see the Abrams. As an American I've grown up with it as the baseline against which all other tanks (and their doctrines) are judged, so I'd be mighty curious to see what sorts of glaringly obvious flaws it has from a Scotsman's point of view.
The superior plate and the space between the hull and turret is unarmored, it gets hit, turret stuck. From the front, anything can go trough a quarter of its profile because of this.Worse is right under the gun, it will break it if it gets hit there. The jet engine is pointless, the german one performs better in every way without the maintenence hassle. And like any modern tank, it may as well not be armored in the sides and rear.
@@denisionescu5072 The jet engine is fine in the US military (though the reasons they chose it ended up being irrelevant) but outside the unique logistics the US has the diesel makes way more sense. If they were making it new today it would have a diesel in it for sure. Hasn't really held it back much especially once they were upgraded with APUs.
@@danlorett2184 What's an APU? Isn't the Abram's gas turbine engine supposed to be able to run on a bunch of different types of fuels, or am I confusing it with a different tank/engine(a British one maybe)?
@@HighlanderNorth1 Auxiliary Power Unit. It's a smaller generator that gets mounted onto the Abrams so it doesn't have to run the engine all the time. And yes, the Abrams turbine can run on other types of fuel. It runs worse on those, though. And the US has never run into logistical issues widespread enough to actually use this feature - it was originally intended to make defending Western Europe easier if the Soviets invaded because the rest of NATO uses diesel tanks. That way American tanks could still be run even if they only had diesel.
@@danlorett2184 So basically Russia is Loki and the Aesir (western militaries) ultimately have all their cool shit as a 4result of constantly having to deal with russia's bullshit?
What do you mean tanks arent supposed to incinerate the whole crew when penetrated?

@@TonyChan-eh3nzNoncredible defense for the win!
Not a bug, but feature. Saves the embarrassment. 😂
@@wnose glorious Russia is always ahead of the pack. In this game of 5d uno, Putin holds all the cards!
I was with the US Third Infantry Division in OIF1. To take out Sadaam's tanks, our M1 Abrams would fire sabot rounds and penetrate the berms concealing the enemy tanks. They would aim for the point where the turret rested on the chassis. This would ignite all of the rounds inside the turret. The explosion that resulted blew the turret 50 meters into the air, and landing about 100 meters away from the chassis. Of all the destroyed Iraqi tanks I saw, only three still had intact turrets.
One of the main drawbacks of the carousel-style autoloaders that Russian tanks employ, rather than the cassette-style on something like the Leclerc or K2 - until the T-90M, they haven't really been able to provide them with any sort of reliable protection, even against spalling and fragments. I would suggest and I've been told this by many gunners and TC's, you'd aim for the place where the turret meets the hull because it's the centre of mass of the vehicle. You could hit a T-72 just about anywhere on the hull and blow off that turret, that autoloader is like a powder keg waiting to go off! No need for a precise hit.
The results were horrific. On day one of OIF, I saw my first decapitated tank turret. The turret was blown off, leaving the upper portion of the tanker's body in the turret and the lower half in the chassis.
@@hermanschiller2035 I'm surprised there was still a body to find
@Underpaid T-72 mechanic that name and PFP combination is beautiful
@@ArmorCast make a new video about russian tanks please. We need you roasting them so redeffect will be emotionally damage!
Hard to get a real estimate but they don’t seem to have been doing too well in the current ‘special military operation’ in Ukraine. I think if any of the modern antitank missiles achieve a hit, then the T90 is toast and the added birdcage mesh armour doesn’t work either. Modern shoulder launch missiles are scary things!
From the photos and videos, both the slat canopy and ERA are readily defeated by current ATGMs. The canopies are so ineffective I have to wonder if they weren't just a failed attempt to confuse vision systems. On video, the tanks almost instantly brew up. After action pictures show most turrets popped off, suggesting they also had a very quick cascade rather than a slow cook-off. Survivability chances must be grim.
@@1djbecker Yes, grim stuff indeed. I can only assume the turret grills were a last minute add on but why they thought it would be effective against modern AT missiles is beyond me. I remember reading a book about about Padres in WW2. They often helped with the removal of remains from knocked out tanks; Other crews were never allowed to help. I often thought that politicians should be made to read books like this before they started wars.

Update on how this video has aged: T-90M lost duel against Bradley, which used only Bushmaster gun, not a TOW. (yes, yes there are hundreds of details why that happened) but video evidence suggests that this statement is objectively true.
no since t 90 won against western tanks. Cry more loser
@@Schizofre Considering that many of the Russian crews died in their tanks, while Ukrainian tankers have survived in Western tanks, I would say the Western tanks are better. Also, you are basing your comments on a single video. The vast majority of losses on BOTH sides have been to mines, artillery and drones. And we have seen videos of Ukrainian T-64s taking out T-90s (I watched a single T-64 take out two T-90s). So, I would stop bragging if I were you.
@@nicholasconder4703 there is no data on that. I have seen as many russian tank crews survive as I have seen western in we consider the ratio of usage of said tanks. Yeah, t64s russians made 60 years ago perform extremely well, you are completely right!

Ya know y’all are kinda funny cuz your country could have hundreds if not THOUSANDS of destroyed t90s and t72s, but once even a single western tank is destroyed, y’all don’t shut up. I know 20 leopards were destroyed by Russia within 24 hours, but atleast its not 2,000.

Do we have any info on the K2 or the K2PL? I don't know as much about armoured vehicles as you, so even if I'd look for any info I'd have no way of knowing if it's actually true. I'm just wondering if the polish government is making a good decision to switch to the Korean construction instead of German one (or the future one that they want to do with France).
K2 is one of the best tanks out there today, arguably THE best. It’s basically a Leopard 2A7 but ten tonnes lighter. Good engine, really good sensors and optics, best tank gun on the market today, and supposedly DAMN good armor for its weight class! One of the main reasons Poland will have chosen it is the autoloader, which is something most of their army is used to using having come from old Soviet autoloading tanks. K2’s is MUCH better - faster, better protected and more reliable - and it means they don’t suddenly have to recruit and train a bunch of tank loaders
Russia saw this video and thought you had some great points. They then decided to prove how accurate 1991 was to their actual conventional capability by invading Ukraine.

Some of the comments I see on this video when sorting by new always give me a good chuckle.
And this is before the Russian crew sabotage the tank so that they don't have to actually engage in combat. Personally, I don't blame them since the one guaranteed feature in all Russian tanks is that their turrets pop off with incredible ease (thanks to poor ammo storage and their autoloader).
Russia is broke and their starving at home and their family needs them at home.to see to their needs and their just places the Russian soldier need to be.necause their family is more important than blowing up Ukrainian families.
This does seem like a giant diversion from the corrupt mess that Russia has become.
The T-72's turret is a formidable twelve-tonne ballistic anti-aircraft system which automatically activates whenever the tank senses it is being attacked.

I do like your videos mate, I'm an ex-3RTR Tankie. Now...having an open ammo carousel in the turret floor would scare the shit out of me especially when the hatches are left open....When you watch these trials in Eastern Europe of these Russian tanks built under license etc....flying over obstacles, firing in mid-air etc. I'll tell you a home truth as an ex-tank crewman. It's all for show obviously....in reality, every piece of stowage inside and outside is going to total f**king shit! There would be kit flying everywhere! Your radios, ammo, personal weapons, rations, tool kit and alsorts would be everywhere! Plus the entire crew would in reality, probably would be unconcious! I know this from driving a Chieftain across country at night and my commander missed seeing what was refered to after as 'Pritches VTOL' bump lmfao! I was thrown out of the cab, nearly crunched by the gun monster, headsets came off and I was hanging on to the splash plate for grim life! My commander, gunner and loader were out for the count. I managed to pull myself back into the cab and bring the tank to a stop, hit the drivers safety switch to disable the gun kit before dragging myself semi-concious upstairs to check on the turret crew. I still have pics somewhere of my loader holding his seat which had been 'eaten' by the gun monster. That stuff belongs on jeremy clarkson not the battlefield lol! Having had the luck to play with the M1 and Leopard 2....crew skills are a massive point! The Turkish Leo's and to an extent M1 losses were due to loaders short cutting drills. 2 British RTR gunnery instructors died in Wales because they short cutted drills (RIP brothers, Fear Naught!) I did stupid things as a loader back in the day, yeah, fuck it....I'll have a few bag charges stacked on the turret floor, it's only ranges....never in war though. M1 and Leo2 don't commit to the equal triangle of a tank. Fire power, armour and manoeuvrability. They sacrifice the armour bit. That's probably why no CR1 or CR2 have never been knocked out by enemy fire. I think that actually applies to Chieftain too! The Kuwaties ran over the border because they ran out of ammo lol!

En Siria, Afganistán, Irak, Somalia y otros países donde EEUU o sus aliados se han visto muchos vídeos en los que se ven como los sobrevalorados Abraham de los EEUU eran destruidos por simples RPG y las torretas salían volando, pero he visto videos donde tankes T 90 eran alcanzados por Javelins y otros lanzadores anti tankes y han seguido luchando, incluso a uno que fue alcanzado 3 veces por un Javelin y ha conseguido destruir 2 blindados armados y lograr retirarse con el T90 hechando humo negro y a mucha menor velocidad pero cumplió con su misión, esperad que el T 14 ARMATA empiece a producirse en masa, los opinologos y militares de occidente dicen que no existe, que es propaganda rusa, se basan en el tiempo que llevan desarrollando el tanke, pero es mejor descubrir todos los fallos que puedan tener, EEUU tardo 24 años en sacar el F22 y solo hicieron alrededor de 110 y dejaron de producirlos o el FALLOS 35 al que le han detectado más de 700 fallos lo que les ha hecho perder varios contratos de venta, además que el SUKOI 35 es mucho mejor avión que el F35 y esperad que se empiece a construir el SUKOI 57, ese que dicen que no existe 😂😂😂 Ya está en Ucrania combatiendo aunque sólo sean 11 pero ya a pasado todas las pruebas y no en entrenamientos sino en guerra, son los que se ocupan de destruir la defensa aérea de Ucrania y la destrucción de toda la red eléctrica de Ucrania, para el año que viene RUSIA tendrá dos escuadrones del. SUKOI 57 además de tener como compañeros y operar con ellos al UAV Hotnic 70,. VIVA RUSIA Z Z Z Z Z Z

When you wake up and you're still assigned to a T-90: Ah shit, here we go again

Still better then waking up in ukraine army uniform.
One of the best tanks to be in. T-90A, shown getting hit in southern Aleppo at 5:01, was not damaged & its crew got out without injuries. It was placed back into service after a simple replacement of its ERA brick, which detonated & defeated the incoming projectile, before it could damage it. You can see the remnants of expl. reactive armor & warhead burning up on top of the hull.
@@tropickman what about the one that got its turret flung off? Is the crew okay too?
@@mikailvito7200 yes because we'll just rig it up with bombs and send it out lol
I served as a Staff Sgt. in the US Army on a M60A1 MBT and an M551 Sheridan. I guarded the West/East German Border in the 1970s and early 1980s with the 3rd Armored Division for 6 years. We expected to see the Fulda Gap FULL of T-62's and T-72's. :) "SPEARHEAD!"
As an army brat I was there (Paderborn) at the same time because my dad was doing the same job. Only, for a different boss. I think we got there with the Chieftain, and left with Challenger Mk1. My dad would laugh at the suggestion of Russian tanks reaching Germany. He was convinced they were ineffectual unless you controlled the railway. Whereas now, they're ineffectual for a dozen good reasons. Tanks are fast becoming the modern equivalent of the Battleship.
I served with the 1st Combat Communications Squadron USAF in Weisbaden West Germany 80-83. We supported the 3rd Armored Division with Radio Relay, Satcom, and Forward Air Control. I think we were living in Tents everywhere from Germany to Spain, All of Europe and a Lot of Africa. Even Beirut. Glad to hear from someone there at the same Time. 👍
I was there, had just got reassigned from 106s in CONUS to the TOW II. We also expected to see a tidal wave of BDRMs, BMPs, BTRs ZSU23-4s and PT-76s. ROCK OF THE MARNE!

Sure, that must be the reason, lol.
Same thing happened with T72M, those were export versions that were supposed to be weaker yet have been upgrade with a brand new laser designator and thicker frontal armor resulting being better than the original.
I want that mod...
T90 can't reverse because Stalin said "Not one step back." This shows in all aspects of soviet combat doctrine.
You can take a step back but we dont want friendly fire turned on now do we. xD
So the exact opposite of french battle doctrine?
We say here: "If you are out of ammunitions, just remember to yourself: you are a proud son of Soviet Russia, a communist, comrade! - After this you can shoot again".
@гиперлуп lol
You're kidding, Correct?
Thanks man... Split laff beer ALL over my new 144 curved gaming monitor.. I'm a disabled vet on a fixed income. Took me 5 years to save up for. You good bastard!
So if the T90A was originally called the T72BU, wouldn’t the modernized variant be called T72BUM?
Pretty sure the only T-72BU part that the T-90A has is its turret. T-72BU had a different hull and gun (or maybe that was Obj. 187. People like to interchange their designations). As far as I know, T-72BU is more close to T-90 Obr. 1992, which (Obr. 1992) was basically a T-72B with T-80UK subsystems. Just minus the 2A66, which required ammunition that was exclusively just for 2A66. I suppose Obr. 1992, and all the other improved T-72 projects was made because the military was not very happy with the complex nature of T-64, and complex and resource needy nature of T-80. But their subsystems were were quite good. So they wanted to mix things up with the relatively simple and not-so-resource-needy nature of the T-72B chassis. Why it was named to T-90, I don't think anyone has a definitive reason as to why. Could be for economic reasons or morale/propaganda reasons or because there were too many letters or because it was a mix of 2 different tanks or because it was a better T-72 (Or a mixture of the aforementioned reasons because these kinds of things are rarely smooth, clean cut, and simple as one thing). A T-72 that wasn't a step - or at least complete step - behind the T-80. At least in regards to subsystems (i.e. FCS). T-72s, to this day, are still the economic tank. The step-behind version of the best that the military has. Maybe they just wanted to keep that tradition. But that's just my pure speculation. T-90s in their entire life have always been the better T-72. A tank for the "elites". It would be incorrect to say that T-90 is the exact same as T-72, but it would also be incorrect to say that T-90 is completely different from T-72. Sorry if I went off topic. I just felt like it
T-72, T-80 and T-90 are all more or less variants of the T-64. But what i wonder is, how can you dare to claim the T-90 first got blow off panels with the T-90M? All the T-72s T-80s and T-90 had blow off panels from the very first day. It just had a different name in the sovjetunion. In the west, we call it blow off panels, in russia they call it "turret".
😀😃👍
In America turret shoots round. In Russia round shoots turret
It doesn't really seem like they have blow out panels. But i gess if you are being hit with a Javelin it just doesn't matter your turret is going to pop off. Lol
@@pieppy6058 Heehee, it's funny because Russian tank turrets go brr.
When they pop off they look like a giant lollypop. I guess that's what you can call *"lollypopping"?*
Another amusing failure of its active protection system that’s been discovered: it’s apparently only operating when the tank is running. Which is fine.. unless your tank column is shut down to preserve fuel as you sit stationary on a road. And even when it’s functioning, the trick is to fire your missile over the tank then drop the crosshairs on the target at the last moment before the protection system can react.
Their tanks would be running.. back to Russia if they had fuel.
singlehandedly the dumbest comment ever lol. this isn't war thunder
Western APS isn't bulletproof either. No APS is.
" the trick is to fire your missile over the tank " The Javelin missile is designed to do exactly that.

I think they changed the autoloader to fit bigger projectiles, and the turret is different.
sadly it still a canibal
at last the t90 is used in war scenario...try that in any other tank to see what whuld hapened?...does people realy think that abrams would protect them?
*Stares at First Gulf War where modern MBTs like the Abrams and Challenger 2, alongside outdated M60A1s, M60A3s, and M551 Sheridans, alongside other tanks, were deployed* You sure about that? You absolutely sure about that?
The T-90 doesnt have blowout panels. No Russian T series haven them. They were never put into mass production on their fielded tanks, because it was determined to be too expensive to retrofit. The T90M has a storage rack behind the turret with blowout panels for extra ammunition on the outside of the tank, that is not the same thing as blow out panels in the tank itself to protect the crew. The crew is still sitting on a powder keg.
As an american, please rag on the Abrams as much as you want. It's already proven itself as a superior tank but there's always room for improvement. Criticism is the only way we improve.
This, one reason Ukraine is doing so well is NATO countries have been so worried for years that our tactics for coping with a potential Russian invasion weren't good enough, so we've been cooperating and organising military exercises for decades, now Ukraine has had experts from various European countries and the US on how to potentially deal with Russian tank attacks, and got anti-tank equipment and it's really paid off.

Jet engines spend fuel as much as in light load as in full load, thats the issue with the abrams.
I am looking back at this video and I always feel like when I see ERA, especially on tanks like the M60, they always feel like last ditch efforts to keep them from popping like a fire bomb and never like proper armor.
Hey, I'm looking for the video of the t90 hit 19 times with a javelin. Can you help me find it?
You were right, you were always right...
Fun fact: auto-loaders not only eat arms, but also tend to pop the turret off like a bottle cap when hit by missiles.
Yeah I notice that in the Ukraine war the Hauls just pop off but what about the tank crew they die a quick death of agonizing one?
@@Aaron-8989 with all the ammo inside blowing off, you bet the crew got a quick death

Yes the ammo carousel is not a great Idea for crews.
Fun fact the autoloader cannot eat arms you have to be trying to get your arm chopped off. And the autoloader isnt an issue. Poorly stored ammo in the turret is.
6:07 The frontal weak spots of the T-90 absolutely killed me.
If they hooked the crew seats to the turrets with parachutes they can claim it is a modern crew ejection turret!

I wonder if the Russians hear the ominous theme from JAWS whenever Ukrainian tractors appear?
Have the Russians simply forgotten basic use of armor? It’s always just a tank, no infantry, even with the T90M
@@insertpng6289 The Russians don't even practice basic tactics in the field. They drive down the middle of the road all tightly bunched up and don't even stagger their tanks on the right side and then the left side of a highway. Their tank barrels are all pointing forwards with no tanks assigned to "overwatch" nor the moving tanks assigned "sectors of fire" in the event of an ambush. When ambushed, nobody charges or engages the threat to allow others to escape the "kill box." They simply flee or stop. I have never seen a bigger group of amateurs in my life! Even US trainees "road march" their tanks better than Russia!
@@swaghauler8334 now that I think about it.. they ARE using javelins, but still, absolutely no infantry support? I wouldn’t even mind if the budget was put mainly into infantry support tanks at this point, there’s no support, the Ukrainians have such a advantage, buildings, comparable weaponry (though it’s shipped), which deals with the footmen, and AT weapons for tanks, honestly I feel bad for the Russians, most of em’ are drafted too.
@@insertpng6289 Ok... so you find yourself operating without support... But, you STILL bunch your armor up on highways so artillery or drone strikes can damage multiple vehicles at once. You don't assign sectors of fire so a commander can fire or respond instantly to any threat in a given direction. You don't have other tanks parked and watching you move to the location in order to perform an instant fire support mission and then move up to your old position once you have moved onto the objective (known as bounding overwatch). You still haven't ordered your tank commanders to stand up out of their hatches with binos (and with MGs pointed into their overwatch sector) expanding your range and field of detection as you move. They are just driving down the road in a "giant gaggle-fuck," as my First Sergeant would have said. If that were my unit on the move in Ukraine, we would have been "pushin' til we puked!" AND I was just ARTILLERY (155mm SP)!
All of the countries that have been buying Russian military equipment for decades are now going......."Oh...crap".
I keep seeing videos of these T-72 series tanks with the gun flopping around and it really makes me wonder if their stabilizers are just.. . Breaking or never even working...
Maybe we should be considering how a country with roughly the same defence budget as Britain can have something like 85 times more tanks. I'm reminded of the 1970s council estates of my youth, where some people would have three or four wrecks that they could never quite get running at the same time, and they would always be searching the scrapyards for a clutch for a 1965 Ford Anglia.
and then plenty of that defence budget creamed off to buy a new £250,000,000 putin supporting oligarch's yacht
Those council estates are internationally infamous. Look up Allan Coren, his "best of" comedy columns (priceless!). He has many things to say about one of the worst idea of all time. Also good (in all respects) is Riding The Elephant by Craig Ferguson.
Russian crews hates this tank so much that they gift it to Ukrainian farmers the moment a General is no longer looking.
After selling its fuel to the farmer. Throw in the tank with the deal. Here, farmer, is 50 tons of scrap steel! Enjoy!
Also hey tell us something about the new T 90M upgrades like how big of a significance it is or if it's just hype
yeah for some reason we found one on the flat bed of a truck here in America that just happened to have been in combat 2 weeks ago.

T series tanks, best turret release mechanism in the world
Definetly the quickest.
It isn't necessarily about the tank itself, the performance is determined by how they are cared for and the tactics in which they are used.
Don't bother trying to be factual this lot are only interested in Abrams and leopards no matter how many of those tanks are also destroyed in combat its only the Russian tanks that are bad
So, in essence, it's still bad as apperantly the tactics and care employed by its main operator are quite literally sh**.
@@matthewrowe9903 My apologies, but are you being sarcastic? I can't tell..
@@matthewrowe9903 The T-72, in the modern age, is a bad tank, end of discussion. If we were talking about the 70s and 80s, it could be argued that it was the best tank in the world.
Sounds like a nuanced take...
There is one serious point from this video. It doesn't matter how good your tank is, if the crew cannot operate at a sufficient level. Tanks get hot inside, they have these beastie engines basically trying to cook you. Room to move around and keep comfortable is really important to maintain peak operational performance. So not having sufficient heat controls and being cramped up inside a tin can for hours on end, is seriously going to reduce the tanks capabilities. Think of it this way. Would you rather drive around, with a crew of 3 in a Fiat Punto, with your bags on the rear passenger seat because the boot/trunk is too small and the air con blowing hot air from the engine; or 4 of you in an Audi A8 with the air con on, and all of your bags tucked away in the cavernous boot/trunk?
Trying to maintain combat effectiveness under stressful situations is a problem that would be handled through strict discipline by the squad leader and the biggest private in the squad.
_british soldiers in the first ever tank_ Fucking normies I swear. I jest of course. I love tanks but would I fuck want to operate one lol.
Now imagine being cramped inside for weeks while also freezing your toes off cause you don't have girl to keep hearing going... Sounds like some unnamed dictators idea of a good time
That's what I've heard said a lot about fighter pilots. The skill of the pilot is every bit as important as the capabilities of the plane. To get this skill the pilots need to spend many hours flying their planes. The down side of this is that it costs $50,000.00 an hour to fly an F22. I think the F16, which is regarded as a great bargain of a plane, costs at least $15,000.00 an hour to fly. It is essential that our pilots get these kinds of hours in their planes. It would be far more expensive in men and equipment if pilots didn't have many hours flying their planes before they flew in combat.
Audi A8 vs T-90. Hmmmmm
