IS-3 Soviet Heavy Tank (4K) 

Tanks from outside - "What a beautiful machine!" Tanks from inside - "How is this even working ..."

I wish I had an IS3 in my backyard.

1940s: ok comrade IS-3, go to sleep now. I will wake you if motherland needs defending IS-3: KK *70years later* *video exists* IS-3: I have awoken, who is enemy

*_"Yo neighbour, wanna know how a 122mm D-25 souds like?"_*

Its working better than my renault

In our backyard we find old tractors, in former soviet countries they find Kv-2's and Is-3's

I find it utterly staggering that these incredible machines are still starting up and just resuming duty. We are told by the experts that wartime era soviet tanks were crude, cheap and unreliable. Suited only for the two to three weeks they were expected to survive combat. Yet we see faded monuments that have waited seventy blazing summers and seventy terrible winters, the endless rains and bitter snow, rise again, ready once more for those long-dead soldiers. Its little less amazing than if stone-carved knights stepped down from their mediaeval tombs and marched out of the cathedral, broadsword in hand. If nothing else they are a lasting memorial and testament to the hands that built them in those terrible dark times, the nameless forgotten faces that go unthanked.

"Hey Ivan, bring up the tractor, we have work on the field" The tractor:

That engine sounds so smooth and well balanced!

Want driving a IS-3 go to the school, that’s much cooler than those Ferrari, Lamborghini and Rolls Royces.......

It's amazing that most of the ww2 Soviet tanks still works even the heavier ones, they are expected to be broken in the duration of time but damn they still work. And remember this is the tank shocked the allies that they scrambled to develop a tank to counter it incase of a war.

Built to last. Lately I watched a video from an old ISU-152 which was cranked up after a long period being an monument, too. Awesome, simple but good old stuff...reliable machines despite getting no maintenance.

I am awake. What does the motherland require of me?

beautiful graphics where can i download this game?

I love it when you see something like this and it looks like a derelict, then some smart arse jumps in and drives it away like it's been on standby for 70 years. Russian engineering eh. Say what you like, it's robust.

WoT and WT players: "so we meet eachother once again"

I love how these things have been scattered all over Russia for 70 or 80 years, and you can jump in, start up, and drive off! That is Rushin Vay!

Im amazed at how findable these things are. not only that, but I've seen so many instances where people just turn the motor over a couple times and they start up after sitting for forever. quite impressive enginnering to do that.

This reminds of the time my dad bought a claas combine harvester that had been left standing for 50 years. Within an hour we had the tyres pumped up, a charged battery fitted and fresh diesel up to the injectors and it fired straight into life. We then drove it the 5 miles home haha. Stuff really was built to last back then.

Stock engine and 50% crew without brothers of arms...

If they would have started to produce this in '39 the war would have been ended in '41

Респект советским танкостроителям,

Хорош дед! Он и сейчас многим фору даст! :)

Тот случай когда наша история иностранцам интересней чем нам, у них они в колекциях а у нас на метал сдаются.

IS-3: Where are the Germans

Love it, the Is 3 was one of my favorite tanks made. But the IS 7 would have been Awesome if it wasn't so heavy.

чувствуется мощь Советского Союза. ИС-3 хороший танк своего времени. если не лучший.

That is the coolest thing ever.Is-3 is my personal favorite tank.

When you find a tank that fires up 70 years later, kept under the rain and snow, then don't put it back on the monument, make it like new and put it in a museum.

The engine sound alone is orgasmic, The pike nose that bounces shells like trampoline, and the 122mm beast

Служил на нем в 1976-1978 г. На Дальнем Востоке наводчиком орудия 71 отдельном полку тяжелых танков. Даже в те времена все исправны были. Как такие безотказные дизеля создавали тайна. Правда при тревоге одна треть не заводилась, температуры низкие были. И проблемы с аккумуляторами. С толкача то всегда заводились. Хорошо, крепко, просто сделанная машина. Мощности двигателя не хватало резво по сопкам бегать. Но огневая мощь, это нечто. 301 бортовой номер.

Приятно работает дизель.70 лет.

That is the coolest thing ever.Is-3 is my personal favorite tank

Piękna maszyna! Robi duże wrażenie.. What an absolute beast. It's the pinnacle of WW2 heavy tanks..

1945: IS-3 You can finally sleep IS-3 Okey comrade call me when motherland got invaded again 2016: IS-3: Where is the enemy comrade

What an absolute beast. It's the pinnacle of WW2 heavy tanks.

Very good video! It is rare to find videos of this tank. To see the inside, and the engine, the electronics composents. We see how those guys make this 48 tons tank work with some tricky things but it still pretty much the same as it was in 1945.

Amazing tank and footage!!!👏👏👏 We want moreee!!!

Great video, thanks for uploading!

Beautiful engine sound, thank you

the most beautiful tank

Недавно я смотрел видос про ису-152, а тут попалось видео про ис-3) Рекомендации ютуба не перестают удивлять! :D

I've been recommended over random short video about ww2 tank lately and I'm not complaining

Soviet power supreme.

this tank is a beast👍excellent video

Superb tank designed to deflect shells with a very tough low profile turret. Fearsome beast.

Then there is the one guy with the title: *How to build a working IS-3 out of cardboard*

Just made my day...thanks for the ride!

No music no anything just engine sound ı love that

C'est merveilleux ! Quel monstre ! Superbe vidéo. Merci.

Volkswagen after 10 years: no i dont wanna work! IS-3 after 75 years: ohhhh here we goo

Этот танк венец эволюции в танкостроении второй мировой войны , даже сейчас чувствуется вся мощь этого стального зверя !

This is stock version? Tier 8?

Fantastic tank, fantastic vid! Thanks for sharing! Greets, T.

Impressive that this thing was built so well that it could still work now, but equally impressive that people still know how to operate it.

i love it when they talk,russian language is so beautiful,i like to learn it someday.

That started faster than my car lol

Old Russian tanks be like: "Must crush capitalism"

Not the best tank ever made but definitely one of the coolest and most armoured of it's time. Still my fav :D

Поверить трудно но танк создали 1944-1945г.

Hey bro, I want to ask, how is the surface of the tank? Coarse or smooth? Because I see that it seems a bit harsh, but I don't know how it really is

Tiger 1- “Gimme a minute, plolplplolplplplolplpl Hold on...plplplplolplplploplpl, One more time plolplolpl groom grooooom There got it” IS-3- “No diesel? No worries comrade just piss in my tank and I will run on bio. Okay ready? Brbrbrbrbroom broom broom Ok ready to go, next stop, Berlin!”

Only a Russian tank could still drive in such appalling disrepair. Wow

I love this sound :)

Beautiful, I wish there was a video like this with an IS7 Really tho what a machine, sounds great, runs great....amazing

Old girl woke up after her long sleep like: "Where are the tigers?"

Magnificent! And it still runs... beautiful!

First reaction: “oh wow nice seeing this beast up close” Later in the video: “ *THIS SHIT W O R K S?!* ”

Just amazing 😭💖

Crude but immensely tough tank. I saw a IS III with multiple 105mm shell hits on the front glacis. They gouged the armor, but bounce off.

くっっそカッコいい！！！nice design👍❣️

IT IS AMAZING!!! Он великолепен.

i really love what the guy said in the beginning. It's very roughly translated as: "God bless you. I blessed you, now let's go"

what a beast and still goes mint

Старый дед, но все также красив и готов к бою, даже без кондиционера, да и всего остального =)

It's still an impressive looking AFV even in this day and age.

Awesome video be safe out there

Published on my birthday! What a gift!

Watching this with a bass shaker under my chair: YESSSSS.....

Броня крепка и танки наши быстры. Слава советским танкистам.

Thanks for the video. Very good, What are the big Drums for on the top of the tank. Radiator coolant, Fuel?

Wow that engine sounds super smooth.

The new Battlefield is looking amazing

That engine sound. I felt that✊😔

a well balanced V12, sounds so smooth :D

Ok it might be just me but the drivers position looks very very comfortable it's really spacious and open when compared to other tanks

3:39 leaking vodka

Это легенда танкостроения 👍👍

Perfect video for referencing how to weather an IS,a beat up IS but still, excellent reference

I build 1/35 scale military models. I have a Tamiya-brand kit of this tank. The DETAIL in this video is AMAZING! I hope this DINOSAUR goes to a museum, for historic preservation. It's basically USELESS as an actual weapon of war.... THANK-YOU, and KEEP UP the GOOD WORK!

Good point of winner of the war/ huge country: they can keep old good weapons. (Comment from Japanese)

Practical, long lasting, and very very effective even by todays standards. Thank you Mother Russia for all your sacrifices. 🇬🇧🇷🇺🕊🕊

I'll swap you my 1943 Gmc cckw 6x6 for it ! Do you deliver to Australia?

Cool design. Love old tanks

what's the problem?? overheated?

That thing just looks like a statue. I was like: _"No way they are gonna drive this, its like 60 or more years old and was probably standing outside for most of the ti-_ _Oh never mind _*_the engine just started"_*

Great work guys

What are those cylinder shaped metal tanks alongside the rear hull? One of them was clearly boiling or something? If those are coolant tanks for the engine, wasn´t that a weak point under fire?

Красотища! Для своего времени этот танк 👍
