The Battle around the Pusan Perimeter during 1950 saw a showdown between the relatively untried American Pershing tank and the battle-hardened North Korean T-34/85. Neither had encountered each other before, but the outcome would establish who had the best armour during the rest of the Korean conflict, with important consequences. Find out the winner...

@tomsmith3045 3 года назад

One of the most interesting things about tank warfare in Korea was that the Sherman did better than the T-34. It pretty much puts the myths of the Sherman being useless and the T-34 being the best tank of WW2 to rest.

@jamesbarca7229 5 лет назад

I'm a bit perplexed by all of the comments saying that this is an unfair comparison, as if these were RU-vidrs making a "comparison video". It's a historical video showing what happened the first time these tanks actually faced each other in combat. There are comments which seem to suggest that the Americans should have put Shermans up against them instead, just to be fair about it. It's almost like people can't differentiate between YT and reality any more.

@mig0150 5 лет назад

Well it was basically an ambush by the M26s, which is why it is a bit unfair to make big statements about which tank was better. If it had been the T-34s set up on the road firing into a column of M26s driving towards them then the T-34s would have almost certainly have won just as easily as the M26s did in reality. And it would be equally unfair to then call the T-34 the superior tank. I have no doubt that the M26 is the better tank but this scenario only really shows that the Americans had better army organisation and training.

@jonm1114 4 года назад

The suggestion that the M46 Patton was somehow inferior to the M26 Pershing is very misleading. The M46 was not inferior to the M26. In fact, the M46 was identical to the M26 in both firepower and protection, as it was simply an M26 with a more powerful engine and improved transmission, along with some other minor improvements. The 1,160 M46 and M46A1 tanks produced were manufactured by converting existing M26 tanks. The M46 was more mobile than the M26, due to its more powerful engine, and this proved to be a significant advantage in the mountainous terrain of the Korean peninsula, with its only real disadvantage being that it consumed more fuel. A survey done in 1954 identified a total of only 119 tank versus tank actions in the Korean War, with about 50% of those involving M4A3E8 Sherman tanks. The M26 was involved in 32% of the actions and the M46 was involved in only 10% of the actions. If the differences in the kill to loss ratios of the Pershing and Patton prove anything at all, it is that kill to loss ratios are simply not reliable as an indication of the relative capabilities of the vehicles when the sample sizes are that small. What is far more telling than those ratios is the fact that all M26 tanks were withdrawn from Korea during 1951, while the M46 and M4A3E8 tanks remained in frontline service in Korea for the rest of the conflict. The limited mobility of the M26, along with the extreme rarity of tank versus tank actions after November of 1950, made the M26 the least useful of the three types under the prevailing circumstances of the conflict after 1950.

@jeffpurcell7035 5 лет назад

After firing the first round, the tank commander said to the gunner that he missed but the gunner stated he did hit it. It was found later the first round went clean through the tank and infantry said they watched the round skip along the road behind it. Also the crews for the tanks where hastily put together and had not much experience with each other or had time to get to know there tank before the battle.

The forgotten war is rarely talked about but I find it very interesting. The British involvement with the Centurion tank and its first baptism of fire the story of C squadron of tanks the first to shoot in anger during the Korean war. Two tanks Caughoo and Colarado supporting an American patrol received fire from ironically a captured British Cromwell tank which was dispatched and hit at 3000 yards. The British used also the Cromwell and also the Churchill tanks in this theatre of war. Now the mystery for me is the Comet tank. Wiki says it was in the conflict I have a boo on Tank War Korea by Simon Dunstan but no Comet tank.The only thing I could find is they where part of the defence of Hong Kong in case the Chinese attacked there. Anyway great vid more please.

@@ODSTOninersIxTwO The Pershing's front plates were mostly immune to the 85mm, with the exception of lucky shots (like one which hit an M46's towing lug and was directed downward, perpendicular to the plate.) Meanwhile, the Pershing's HVAP round could easily punch straight through a T34 lengthwise.)

Mark. I spoke with my gramps at xmas dinner tonight about his time as a tank commander in Korea. He served in a Sherman M4a3 with the Lord Strathcona's of the Canadian Army. He did see T34s there but they were far away and he never engaged them. The artillery took them out from long range, but he said at night they could be seen moving around. He said the Sherman was great and Hella reliable. I believe their job in Korea was to sit on a hill to take fire from the Chinese so they US airforce to could then smoke their positions. He also served in a centurion when stationed in Germany and loved that tank. Hated the Patton tank said it was a piece a shut as he had a chance to test it as I believe the CDN fires were choosing between the two tanks. It was really cool to hear all of his first hand knowledge about these fighting vehicles and how much they hurt your back. Also said the Yanks were shot drivers compared to the Canadians and saw one corporal have his rank stripped on the spot for smashing his gun into the tank in front of his.

@NationalSniper 5 лет назад

M26, not T26. T26 was the prototype. The M26 Pershing was the production model. The T-34/85 was succesful in the first part of the war because the Allies only had M24 Chaffee light tanks deployed in Korea. The T-34 was comparable to the Sherman. Pershing was comparable to Tiger and Panther. So the Pershing totally outclassed the T-34. Which resulted in very one-sided battles between M26 and T-34. The M46 Patton was essentially an upgraded M26 with a better engine, as the original M26 was underpowered. It had less kill ration because it was introduced much later in the war and at much lower quantity. The M26/M46 fought alongside the M4A3E8 Sherman "Easy Eight'. The Sherman also outperformed the T-34/85 in combat. Both could penetrate each others armor at engagement ranges. But the Sherman's better optics meant that it could hit its target first. This comparison is in a way unfair. But in another way it is fair. Because after WW2 the M26 design (a powerful quality heavy armored tank killing tank) became the basis for US tank designs to follow. The T-34 (simple tank build in huge quantities to overwealm opponent) because the basis for Russian tank designs to follow. This is seen even today with western tanks, being heavier, better protected and build for quality rather than quantity, than Russian tanks, which are build for quantity rather then quality. Read Osprey Publication book M26/M46 Pershing.

@acceleration4443 5 лет назад

NationalSniper T-34-85 wasn’t even in production in the first part of the war - get your basic facts right. It was T-34 with 76-mm cannon that was around back then. T-34-85 was the russian panic answer to Tigers (appeared at the russian front at the end of 1942) and Panthers (1943), so it was only around for the last two years of war. As for the comparison I agree with many people here and you as well- narrator saying that T26 were superior because they killed T-34-85s in an ambush is a pretty stupid selection of the facts to look at and draw conclusions from those. Nonetheless they got it right, - T26 was largely a post-war tank, just like the British Centurion, although they appeared right at the end of war, and of course they were far superior.
