My next door neighbor is in his 80s and still talks about the Korean War. I’m 64 and always take time to hear everything he wants to tell me. He deserves that respect.
Korea was an undeclared unconstitutional invasion. Your neighbor is an oath violator.

@@donk9443 You are a complete idiot and a communist/socialist pile of crap.
@@donk9443 North Korea is still there. Go there and live and starve. Kramer that is German right?
@@donk9443 Which part was unconstitutional, and which part was an invasion? Extraordinary claims like that aren't worth discussing unless you provide specifics, otherwise you'll just move the goalposts as each point is shown to be false or misleading. Back in that era there was lots of fringe claims that putting troops under U.N. control was unconstitutional. Is that what you are claiming? If so, that argument has been dead for at least a half century.
My dad's name was Curtis Ray Fisher he fought in Korea. God bless you all !!!! Thank you for you're service !! You're all heroes in my book.
Korea was an undeclare Unconstitutional conflict. Those Americans wwho participated violated their oaths by sucking United Nation penis.

My uncle was in WW2 and Korea, he saw some crazy stuff. It made him a hardened man, but never got to his heart he had the biggest heart under that tough exterior. I always knew he loved me but it was something he never said to anyone of course. My last conversation with him, I told him I loved him and he said "love you too". I pointed and said gotcha Uncle Jay, finally got him to say it haha. Miss him, I miss that whole generation they looked at life with a lot better than these new spoiled generations.
Huh? There's plenty of Americans dying overseas. Part of "these spoiled generations." They're dying too, you idiot.
@@johnbrattan9341 the word "plenty" is relative. More Americans were killed at tiny Iwo Jima than the combined total of the last thirty years. You tried to insult the previous poster but only revealed your own ignorance.

Guess who raised the spoiled generations
That was great until you said "than these new spoiled generations." All I've gotta say is that we don't freak out when a black man drinks out the same tap.
The extreme cold wasn't mentioned here, but I found it interesting to learn that a lot of guys who would have otherwise bled to death survived because their wounds froze rapidly. One vet said he came across a Chinese soldier who was completely immobilized/frozen, with only his eyes still moving. Cold.
Vic McLaglen not true!! Before you freeze your heart stops .. sorry to burst your bubble here but I thought I’d let you know in a educational way!!
It gets painfully cold over there. We would pour fuel on our boots and light em. Only way to keep our toes. Still lost some bits. Grandkids say my toes are funny. That makes up for those long cold lonely scared times.
It got to -30 F* yesterday in Maine, USA. I wonder how many guys could tough it out and fight in the elements during those cold spikes. You would have to wear quality wool covered with rubber bottoms and quality boots to keep warm and prevent your wool from getting wet. You know those guys weren’t given proper equipment to stay outside for hours/days.
Vic McLaglen Yes my dad deeply complained about the cold ! He admitted that after fire fights they would scavenge wool socks coats long johns gloves off of the dead ... he was so torn up about that ... he cried every time he told me the stories. I could not imagine being so cold that first thoughts after a fight was to strip the dead of warm clothing .
Wow, the voices of our hero vets....so powerful.
Friend of mine, Glen Samples, my mother and father in law, Frank Perando and Edith Mason-Perando all were there. Glen was a forward observer and Edith was a nurse. Flew with wounded back to Japan a lot. She was in 7 crash landings and kept getting on those transports. Much respect to all.
Edith is an old school name. Hell ya that's amazing

My Platoon leader in the 70th Armor 24th Division was MSGT Ernest R Kouma who was a TC in Korea during this war, and earned the CMH for his actions there. Google him- it's an amazing story. I was proud to serve with him, and it's my pleasure to keep his memory alive. Go ARMOR!
At first I was not fond of the tank game footage preferring to see actual films of the conflict. I realize the difficulty of obtaining and actually inserting them in your dialogue. You have kept the gaming aspect to a minimum and tried to insert your animations to reflect the real scenarios. You have done a good job. So thank you for giving us a reasonable aspect of reality and the insertion of real footage enhanced the story even more. Good job.

In other words, some shit went down.
This interests me because my father was a tank commander in Korea from 51-53. He still doesnt talk much about it at all.
Cherish your time with him. My father was a bomb loader in Korea, but died in 1973.
My dad, Lt Col R. Keith Walker was a Marine tank commander in Korea. Survived WWII, landing at Tarawa, Saipan and Tinian. Sent to U of M (V12), and off to Korea. Survived all that to succumb to lung cancer at age 46. Phenomenal man and father.
Dave Walker my grandpa was also a tanker in the Korean war his tank even caught fire and some how he survived he's got scares and burn marks all over his arms.
Thats why those men (andwoman who supported in the factories) are called "the greatest generation". Rest in peace, sad how he went. Hope he had a short deathbed
As a Russian, a badass US old veteran saying "the Russians knew how to use their tanks" felt pretty nice~
S3dcr the US gave the USSR thousands of tons of steel and alloy metals to make good tanks to drive the Nazis out of Russia.
@@larrytischler570 So? What's your point?
@@johnbrattan9341 obviously Russians needed massive US supplies to go on theyoffensive. They repaid the US by tipping off the Japanese as to our plans in the Pacific. Which was our main involvement.

My Grandpa Vernis Ivan Church was a Platoon Sergeant in the 95th Division with Patton Third army Iron Men Of Metz, 377TH Infantry Regiment, Company C. I’ve been trying to do a lot of research to find out more about the stories about where my grandpa was at. I’m also hoping to find some photos of him. My Grandpa also fought in Luxembourg, Holland and crossed the Rhine with General Simpsons 9TH. Then my grandpa entered the Ruhr pocket and fought with the 2nd armored division with the hell on wheels division. My grandpa saw a lot of combat at the Battle of the Bulge. Thanks Cody
Salute to the brave soldiers during korean war. Greetings here in my country Philippines 🇵🇭
My Grandfather has slides of a S. Korean Vs Chinese tank battle. He spent the war on Triangle Hill just North of the DMZ as an RTO/Mortarman. No enemies tried to take the hill because it was too nasty, so he was behind enemy lines several times (though they did take mortar fire occasionally, and once a few Chinese tried to sneak in at night). We lost him just before Christmas, I miss him badly. RIP Edward Hans Albert Hannevig. I will be going back over to Korea in a few months to take some of him back. I wish he could have seen the GOOD that came from his time in Hell.
That's the one thing that really aggravates me they didn't learn during World War with that small cannon and they put our boys back out there with junk cannons letter under sized
They sent out what they could
What are you talking about? The E8s gun was better then the T34s, the M26s gun was comparable to the dreaded german 88 carried by the Tiger 1, and the M24 was a scout tank that they certainly didnt want fighting medium tanks but was likely all they had available within in quick reach of the conflict.
Let us not forget korea! And the men who fought and died!!!!!
after few years I finaly found this video again YESSSSSSSS
balls of steel for every single combat soldier,all the around...DAMMIT BOYS! actually (MEN)
Luis Chavez Thank you very much for your kind words and patriotism.
My dad was an REMF in Korea. Even though he was a supply sergeant, he saw some action. The lines were often fluid, I learned from him. There was one night where he and his CO were sleeping in a bunker. They were on a two-man bunk set with a bunch of C-rations stacked between the bunks and the doorway. For some strange reason my dad got the bottom bunk and his CO got the top bunk. I mean I would think the guy with the most rank gets the bottom bunk, ya know? Well anyway, that night when they were asleep, the NorKos overran their lines. One of them tossed a grenade in the bunker on their way past. So the grenade goes off, my dad is unhurt because of the stacks of C-rations, but his CO is mortally wounded. He lost an arm. Dad told me he did everything he could to stop the bleeding, but he couldn't get it stopped. I could tell that always bothered him. He told me that story once, and that was the only time he talked about his experiences in the war.
We can never repay debt of gratitude to our brave armed forces. God Bless all.

I think keeping South Korea free was one of the greatest humanitarian acts of the post WW2 era. Imagine if the North controlled all of Korea, given what we see with the cruel tyranny in NK today.
lazybear. The South Koreans of that generation appreciate what America did for them but the younger generation doesn't. We should leave South Korea and let them defend themselves.
@@johnmcdonald9304 some ungrateful bastards may do, but not many. I was born and raised in korea for 12 years before immigrating to Canada in 2006 (So I spent my childhood in korea). And now I am a Canadian. As a child I was always greatful that this many country decided to help us for my country. Because without the help will I ever had chance of becoming Canadian citizens? Probably not. I would be believing in Kim's propaganda while not knowing that I am slowly dying due to malnutrition. So I am still greatful to veterans who sacrificed/participated the Korean war. God bless them and their countries! PS: if one of your relatives participated in the Korean war, I do believe South Korean army sometimes invite veterans over Korea again and appreciate for their sacrifice. So check the website out! I have seen many South korean documentaries about the sacrifices of UN troops. How the operation Chromite was critical and braveries of each nation's troops helped to achieve one of the unquie world guiness record: the largest evacuation from land by a single ship.
The fact of the matter is, many Chinese regret the fact they helped NK out at all! Chinese government used ot not allow it, but after the latest rounds of nuclear tests held by NK, even the Chinese government (read: Xi Jin Ping) got fed up to the extreme and allowed bad comments on NK. Chinese official line is still the NK is the legitimate government of Korea (but read the fine print, not the SOLE government anymore) and NK are brothers (but not brothers in arms). But officially and in private, they spat NK as the Bai Er Lang (white eared wolf....Read: Chinese equivalent of the red headed bastard child) that bites the helping hand. In fact, many Chinese net-izen now comment online (in the past, any comments on social boards were blocked by the Chinese government....But not anymore) the only good thing that came out of the Korean War was one egg fried rice, or the smoke created when cooking that dish, a Marine F4U Corsair noticed the smoke, and one napalm dropped by that Corsair later, Chairman Mao jr. got burned to a crisp and thus, in coincidence, China was saved from a worse fate than North Korea!!!!! And many follow up comments....Some which are not joking said the whole entire Chinese people should absolute thank the American for that one!
At the end of the day America got involved in a war that had nothing to do with them and only went there to get a military presence and stage a foothold on mainland Asia. It's the exact same reason they got involved against the Vietnamese. They did this in order to make Vietnam, Korea and to a lesser extent China to put pressure on said Governments so that they could embark on Capitalism and make the rich in America richer. The sooner you dumb fucks realise this the better off you'll be.
john mcdonald they probably could unless China helps
My dad is a Korean war army veteran
Glad he made it through! My father drove a Sherman in WW2. He made it out too. God bless!

My grandfather is a Marine who was in Korea also.
Korea was (I guess is) such a fascinating war. In many ways it was kinda like WW/ but it was all the toys that had just come out at the end of the war, too late to really fight in it, but they fought here.

They did Great Work 👍 My absolute Respect
Still often referred to as 'The Forgotten War'. For a well informed perspective on this conflict, I recommend T. R. Fehrenbach's Book 'This Kind of War. It gives a very detailed account of the events from the perspective of many that served in Korea at the time.
My grandpa was a tank commander in Korea. He lost five tanks before he finally went home. I still have his five clustered bronze star. He said it was a nightmare and he drank like a fish but finally stopped in his older days. I miss you Ted Fredricks

If it wasn't for war, we wouldn't have these awesome documentaries. Think about that.
One of the things mentioned is that the South Korean soldiers weren’t trained to fight as large units or having Western style training. Though true it must be remembered that both North and South were both well trained and seasoned veterans of fighting guerilla style battles for years against the Japanese during world war 2 . It’s unfortunate that the propaganda that they and the North Vietnamese were nothing more than backward peasants still persists as this attitude unfortunately led to many US servicemen losing their lives as well as perpetuating negative Asian stereotypes that had been presented since before the Second World War. That said this is a great video that gets the stories straight from the men who served as the Korean War doesn’t get the coverage that it should, this video is especially good as it concentrates on tank warfare during the conflict as most videos usually deal with a general overview of the whole war . Thank you for posting this.
Canada deployed M4A2s and M4A3s while Great Britain deployed Centurions and older Crowells. The Centurions in particular proven very effective against the Soviet-built tanks.
Well the Centurions did have bigger guns equipped by that time it's a 84mm gun if i remember kinda same as the German Flak 88 they fought against in WW2 and those had no problems wiping out T-34's with ease
@@mariacorazondevelos7178 84mm had apds. Way more penetration and velocity than 88mm
@@BloodyCrow__ ohhhhh no wonder i always get wrecked by Centurions in World of tanks
Task Force Smith had bazookas with only HE warheads... they kinda forgot to take HEAT rounds with them....
In the first part of Korean War only 2.7 inch bazookas were available. When 3.5" were distributed effectiveness increased.
Afair from reading a lot about that was that in the "first wave" there had been 600 T-34, almost all of them T-34/76 as the 85mm version came pretty late in the war to fight the heavy to very heavy (Tiger II Königstiger, Jagdtiger, Ferdinand, Elefant etc.) vehicles, same like the old SU-122 (Howitzer, more a artillery support vehicle/gun) was replaced by the much better SU-85 with a gun based on the 85mm AA L/52, when Stalin gave his "ok" after he had "the" bomb too and after in late 1949 China proclaimed its republic and finally won the war and he said that it would be china which would have to support the Koreans the most (with the "basic" items, easy supplies...), the SU delivered the fuel and a few minerals and "old" weapons from WW2 which were replaced anyway, as WW2 rifles were replaced by AK-47, the T-44 was produced 1,823 times but de facto the Soviet Army went from the T-34/85 to the T-54/55, Kim travelled to Moscow earlier, I think as early as Summer 1948 when the Berlin Blockade was pretty young and during the first weeks it didn't look soo good for the West-Berliners, again in 1949, more than twice before Stalin finally agreed after speaking with Mao and saying to him and to Kim "You will deliver everything you can, but its me who decides what happens". WIth the A-Bomb and China being a nothing existing a few months only he was the big "Uncle Joe", even the US and UK in WW2 had to give something to keep him in the war (at least he seemed to play like that, very unrealistic from todays view, but he could have thought loud that he could make a seperate peace with hitler and would be a large winner compared to 1941, he would keep his new soviet republics, starting the continuation war with finland much earlier to get viipuri and the territory to ban the danger of another "Mannerheim-Line", afaik almost no ww2-veterans were taken in the lower ranks in Korea, since meeting weapons made by "your" old ally which are now going to kill you or your allies is a strange feeling... my grandpa resettled in 1945 like my grandma only around ~157km air distance south-east (center to center) in a former German small city which saw no air raids and because of the upper position I guess (as the German/Polish name are meaning the exact same thing: "Green Hill (in Silesia/i. S.)" or how you write "Schlesien", thanks to its location and unimportance, the coal mining done there until 1944 was small and just checked Antwerp to Dresden was a bit over 651km air distance, Zielona Gora had 770.51 (so rounded up ~771), which was 120km more with the heavy bombs and than additional 120km back, still needing to have more fuel left than compared to a flight against targets in Saxonia. my grandma just had 5 years of deportation behind her by Stalins order to destroy everything which creates a "Polish" feeling. No flags, no polish eagles, street names remembering persons or events from the polish history were banned.... almost the whole same shit what the Germans/Nazis are blamed for. While the Nazis had the top priority to hunt Jews, Stalins orders were: New and Young poles maximum of 4 school years, I think math only up to the 100's, my Grandma (*1923, just 1 year after the victory/Miracle of Warsaw) could finish her (maybe shortened?!) "Matura" in 1940 but a few weeks later, I think when many schools were closed as the changes were introduced step by step and first was to catch the elite, and with getting that highest graduation my Grandma brought herself into this group of "potential risks" which ended in a deportation to areas which most Russians, even with West-Siberian origin just can describe as a fridge...I don't know why Jakutia and my grandma unlike my grandpa who fled in 1939 into German occupied territory never talked about that, so I only know fragments from my grandpa and family over there and a bit from my mom... I only know the family from my mothers side, but my fathers side was polish too, just younger I guess as my Grandma was extreme old when she got my mom in 1962. You can only say thanks for showing Uncle Joe that the US also at least try to defend their position as new super power and are not getting back into the pre-ww2 isolationism... now the US era is beginning to end, it was really lucky that Trump didn't win again in 2020, but that it wasn't an overwhelming "NO TO TRUMP!" win for Biden in this case is a sad sign, like his election in 2016 but there it was another thing, China in number and equipment is already in the non-nuclear navy sector eye to eye with the US and the corona pandemic damaged the US/Europe and other countries much more than it did damage China... they wait a few years, the debt to GDP ratio is heavy, high inflation risk, the US companies maybe should have stopped producing so much oil in 2020 when the OPEC+ did too, because this ultra low and even once negative prices allowed China to buy oil in unbelievable amounts for below 25$ with discounts, the country is switching step by step like most of the other developed nations to the electric private mobility first, but the chinese navy and air force is getting much more hungry for fuel with every additional ship, and if they builld 10 new ships maybe ~6 are replacing older units, but the new ones are usually much larger and better in every aspect, and the ~4 new ones are there to creating new units and allow a larger presence even outside the waters in front of the own coast... the army has seen the smallest upgrades in these century I would say but they have soviet copy or sometimes really license build tanks in masses, should such a war happen ever again, already in Korea the US "heads" over 70 years ago when China was low populated compared with today knew that its something the US can't handle, its even worse than attacking the Soviet Union as Hitler-Germany with your Axis allies (even if you don't really think that they are strong, but better than nothing and Romania didn't only bring the soo heavy needed oil, but also ~1.1 million soldiers to the front against the SU until August 1944... I think Stalin wanted something like that, but the US, Mr. McArthur, many people thought he won ww2 in the pacific himself really made a good job and the president/people which count didn't walk into that provokation-trap and stayed out of china, no bombing of chinese railways, oil or ammo depots straight at the chinese-north korean border... and so early after creating his republic Mao did send this 400,000 "volunteer" soldiers of which I think some choose fighting instead of serious prison time and others simply were real nationalists, but after such long fights in china Mao didn't want another war which needed millions of chinese to fight in Korea or even on chinese territory if the US/UN would advance so far...

Yep, the russians sure knew how to use their tanks. Send wave after wave of the T-34s until the germans are crushed. Losses are acceptable.
My father had one tour of duty in Korea and three in Vietnam. He told me everything about the three tours in Vietnam with hand to hand combat, but wouldn't tell me anything of his time in Korea as part of a Marine Corps Tank crew. He told me it was to terrifying to recount.

From the beginning in the Korean War, the Chinese Communist Party supported the North Korean army. Three of the eight North Korean divisions were Chinese troops. The CCP won the war in mainland China in 1949 and tried to communist of the Korean peninsular the following year Jul 25, 1950.

Doenjang Stew I think those divisions were ethnic North Koreans who served in the PLA fighting WW2 and against the Nationalists. China gave the divisions along with their equipment to North Korea as a gesture of thanks.
You do know there is a reason why China défend North korea at that time right cause China was afraid that the allies will continue to push forward into China and also north korea serve as a sought of buffer state from the western power

NK's leader Kim Il Sung knew China's Chairman Mao was preparing to invade Taiwan in early July 1950, meaning Kim would not get Chinese help. So, Kim invaded South Korea before Mao could launch China's attack. Within hours China knew the US would retake Korea and NK would need Chinese help, because China could not stand Americans on her border. Within days of NK's first attack on June 25th, China was shifting hundreds of thousands of troops with their equipment to China's border with NK, to counter US forces...long before Gen Mac Arthur made his stupid move north of Pyongyang. Mac Arthur was in command in the Philippines and caught unprepared for the Japanese attack in 1941, and then 9 years later caught unprepared for the North Korean attack in 1950. Both times, people ignored that he cost tens of thousands of American lives through his poor leadership. He was brilliant only after his own massive failures. President Eisenhower knew the US was not just fighting North Korea, but China and the Soviet Union as well. By 1953, the NK army was mostly gone and mostly Chinese "volunteers".
His only notable victory in Korean War was Incheon Landing. It was a critical move that decided the outcome of war but he sucked at rest. I don't know why he is worshipped as a hero in South Korea and Japan.... 😑 He is overrated.
@Michael Thank your uncles for their sacrifices on my behalf. I was born in South Korea. Without men like your uncles, I would be living under Kim Jong-uns reign of terror.
Damn obvious, war started with Truman.
Hate that they only mention US involvement even though Britain had Centurions over there. I like that the Americans admitted (for once) that the Russian tanks were only bad because they weren't being used by Russia.
My friend Bob Dillon is in this. He was a great guy
when you have a Zillion communist troops swarming towards you , the best thing is a lot of planes strafing or dropping napalm or anything to take the "edge" off the attack and soften them up a bit. As strong as a tank is, its machine guns can only fire till the gun overheats and then thats it, they run past you.
but the commies mostly attached at night or in poor daylight to give their numeracy in manning the edge as they knew that the USA & Allies could win any air war.
That would've been the correct move.....Except Doug Mac thought it would be over by Christmas and did NOT prepare for THAT contingency..........................................
Flechette rounds are pretty effective at taking the edge off an attack. Hundreds of darts + Big Gun = Look at that lawn dart murder machine.
Maybe use small bursts at a spotted target area and create small fire from positions around the tanks south MG60s and rifles? Maybe some Rockets as well? I agree jets are the way to go. If the situation had to occur though where a tank and infantry is your final and only defense, what would be the best way to go about it??
the t-34 was more like the most effective tank of world war 2, not the best
There was no "best tank of WWII", and trying to argue for one over another is ridiculous. The Sherman was the best tank for the Americans with its ability to be mass produced, easily transported across oceans, cross any bridge in Europe, plus its outstanding fighting features (stabilizer, room for crew to work, amazing visibility, etc.). The T-34 was the best tank of the war for the Russians. They could freaking pump the things out in amazing numbers and that's exactly what they needed. The Germans were the only country who never found that perfect tank and that's why they kept creating new versions (plus Hitler's big dick gun contest with Stalin). Besides the laughable technical problems like the final drive in the Panther breaking after only 150km, each one had a laundry list of problems. The 75mm Sherman was able to wreck the Panther across Europe because it had an insanely cramped fighting compartment and the crew couldn't see jack shit. But back to the T-34, the first ones out of the factories were absolute shit, but by war's end the Soviets were cranking out upgraded T-34s by the thousand that were incredibly capable tanks and just what they needed for the war the Russians found themselves in.
@@TheSolongsidekick keep believing your own propaganda dickhead, there's a reason they called the Shermans 'Tommy Cooker'
@@hades0572 the reason they called the Shermans "tommy cooker" is that the early model m4 used a modified aircraft engine that used highly flammable fuel, this did change with the later models though so the Shermans didnt light on fire as easly when getting hit later in the war. the sherman was a alright tank for being made in 1941-42 and design to fight tanks like the panzer 3 and light japanese tanks, but when going up against later war tanks its gun and armor was definitely lacking.
@@swedishm90camouflage17 Thanks for that but I knew the reason as to why it was called the "Tommy Cooker" otherwise I wouldn't of written it.
Hades Im sorry, that may have been lost on me, my english isnt great
How about the philippines soldiers who fought the korean war?
That would be PEFTOK but they were mostly just infantry units attached to american divisions this show is mostly about tank warfare
Another highlights said According to historical record of the Korean Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs (KMPVA) about the Korean War made available to the Philippine News Agency (PNA), Young and Yap and their men stood their ground against all odds when they fought a numerically superior force of Chinese soldiers in the fierce battle at Yultong that lasted for two days on April 22-23, 1951. In an interview, Kim Juyong, KMPVA director-general, cited the heroism of the Filipino soldiers during the two-day fierce battle that stopped the invasion of thousands of Chinese communist forces at the outset of the war. Despite the huge disparity in numbers, the 900-man 10th BCT clashed with the numerically superior 40,000 Chinese and North Korean troops that forced the latter to back track. Exactly 61 years ago, from April 22-23, 1951, 900 Filipino soldiers of the 10th Battalion Combat Team (10th BCT) of the Philippine Expeditionary Force To Korea (PEFTOK) successfully defended and threw back the numerically superior elements of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army (CPVA)'s 44th Infantry Division and the North Korean People's Army (NKPA) numbering about 40,000 in non-stop fighting that drew widespread admiration --- even from the enemy.
T-34: perfect angle on armor and bouce a shell Also T-34: moves and show uper plate for a high ground tank
How could they not say anything about Truman's interference with MacArthur?
Because this isn’t about the money politics behind the war. This is about the ground war tactics.
If there is full scale conflict in korean peninsula. The deciding battle will be fought with precision guided missiles.
I guess you forgot about British involvement and British Tanks. I think the Centurion was available then and the Churchill or wellington which were favoured for their Hill climbing ability. Does anyone remember the Glorious Cloucestershire regiment and their stand.
Just goes to show you, wars are fought through luck, skill, and luck.
Tier 8 vs Tier 5. Terrible MM.
Nguyen Nghia XD roflstomp
W.O.T.Blitz rules!!

Not a bad video but a shame no mention was made of the Imjin River battle
T34.85 in this video is the D5T model and is turret was a little bit smaller with only 1 commander/gunner and 1 loader
Believe it or not, Soviets actually participated in this battle. And some were captured. But it was not released to the public as it would cause a probable direct conflict with the soviets.
North Koreans actually performed really well in those early days of the war. Very impressive what they almost achieved against a vastly superior technological foe. At the time, the performance of the US in that period was frankly embarrassing.
Ngl, I think U.S. has this type of war. Do trash at first, innovate, and then kick a**. Though Vietnam was very different..., kinda like a million godamn Chinese...
35:40 The pucker factor is tangible.
I highly doubt North Korean tanks would try anything against our M1A2 Abrams tanks today. If we have some stationed there in South Korea. Abrams is not a tank to be taken lightly with it's extremely high survivability, and deadly accuracy.
godblessasiangirls agreed on that man North Korea only has the T 55 tank weaklings.
Ellis Destroyer666 We only see what they show.North Korea is called a hermit kingdom for a reason.We do not know much of their firepower.
Peoples Liberation Army still though we can beat them.
Ellis Destroyer666 the North Korean military is the 3rd most active military in the world.With their determination.War with North Korea would not be no easy walk in the park as many Americans and westerners think.US might have the technological advantage but the courage and determination will falter any attack the DPRK.
Peoples Liberation Army they may have numbers but not for long as experience is the best way to win a war.
Hey they found out were the tanks were coming
How affective is aiming at the tank tracks? Yes, it can still shoot but it becomes a blocking pillbox.
Great to have the tankers commenting, but why the amateurish cartooning? In it, shells (almost always) hit the dirt near the tanks but still clouds of gasoline-like flame erupt. Maybe or not signifying great damage. Did the cartoonists never watch a documentary? They should. Real hits are on film. Hit results vary and are impressive, whether just a perforation--lot of energy is evident even then--or the turret flies up in the air with a mushroom of smoke, or the tank explodes. None of that from shells hitting on the dirt or treads as the cartoonists have it. Q: Is any sentient being in charge?
valve wants their SMG sound back
Don't like the USA meddling in other Countries business , but when you look at that fat little f&*ker who's running Nth Korea now , it's safe to say the US done Sth Korea a massive favour.
*the m26 pearshing"
Though the glorious made by Mustangs pilots, but in that 1 mission when the bombers planes were left on their own, it waa so sad n upseted, but what had past had past.
40:55 I think its an IS or an IS-2 its hard to identify Edit: it might be a kv-1s due to the hull and the barrel Edit again: its just a T-34-85 (maybe)
Ultra low quality on War Thunder with 20 fps be like
5:22 Well Sir. Welcome to the German Simulator. You can kill as many as you like, but they just keep on coming.
Yeah except for the fact that by war's end the T-34 had favorable kill/death ratios against all German tanks.
the gun on the chaffe was easily able to penetrate anywhere on the hull of a t-34 with the right ammo
Folfie Lukather are you kidding??? At best, the M24's low-velocity M6 gun could only penetrate 90mm of face-hardened armour and less than 110mm of rolled homogenous armour at 100 metres, which dropped to 58mm and 75mm respectively. at 1,000 metres. And don't forget that is vertical armour, and using the best available ammunition of the day, solid AP-T. Post-1945 T-34s had over 45mm of hardened RHA armour on their hull front, rear and sides, sloped between 40 to 60 degrees, which gave it and effective thickness of 90mm. The turret was 75mm at the sides and 90mm at the front , with another 90mm in the mantlet. In other words, to penetrate the hull or turret of a T-34 t any place apart from the roof, an M24 would effectively have to be at point-blank range, and even then the T-34's sharply sloping armour meant it was highly likely an incoming shot would just ricochet. And at such close range, the MUCH thinner armour of the M24 stood NO chance to survive a hit from a T-34's high-velocity 85mm gun. Go back to playing "World of Tanks", which bears no resemblance to the true battlefield.
The best generation.
