Soviet Tank Destroyers - SU-85 & SU-100 

I've been up close to an SU-100 at a museum near where I live. That thing is a monster.

4:35 SU-122-54 spotted

The _Farewell of Slavianka_ at the beginning is just nice!

00:04 She flagged my heart...

Alright it's Johnny!

There was a great movie about SU-100 crew, about young officer being assigned to command veterans and it depicts tankers life during second half of Great Patriotic War. Some jokes, some personal drama, PTSD fighting and winning. No good ending here, of course. "На войне как на войне" (1968) I hope English version exists.

Even though I find the Jagdpanther to be the most beautiful looking tank ever made, the SUs were equally terrifying.

6:04 - _Oo0ff..._ N0w wE ArE BEiNG LauGhiNG at j0Ke! ⭐

Crazy to think that SU-100 picture involving the Yemen crisis was from 2015.

0:03 that Ruskee got me acting kinda strange…

SU-85 & SU-100 series of tank destroyers are some of my favorite, love your videos.

"A communist tank joke isn't funny unless everyone gets it" that's Putin it mildly. A great video, thanks!

At the military Museum in Vienna there's a Su-100 with what I assumed was the worst weld I have ever seen, but as this vehicle is a former pedestal mount as the first tank to enter Vienna 1945 and was knocked out by a Panzerfaust shortly thereafter, killing its crew, it might well be that the poor quality weld on the rear superstructure was a superficial restoration as a memorial, not representative of production standards

Your voice is very calming... Keep up the vidsss tho 👍

The Misfit Brigade...must look that one up...cheers, Johnny...E...

One thing I thought odd about the anime Girls und Panzer was that the "Soviet" team (Pravda) never used any of these distinctive assault guns.

Could we possibly see a video on the PT-76 Amphibious Tank?

You sill made a joke and I got it. The Soviets did make some great tanks in WW2. The T-34 chassis was probably the best of all the Allied armour. And the Soviets adapted it for many vehicle types as you have shown. It some aspects it was crudely made but it was 'grimly functional', and it was fast and easy to produce. Thanks for posting this.

This is literally my favorite channel on RU-vid, keep it up Johnny!

I Didn’t know this many SU-100s were made!, Very surprising. Great video as always Johnny.

Love the SU-100 in War Thunder. Very underated

Good to hear that smooth voice of yours again, spitting facts I didn't know I needed to know. 👍

Love this dude

Wheel of terror was a 1987 warmovie. I loved those black panzer wrappers tunics.

Tanks for the video! ;)

Good to SU at 00:00 Johnny

The end pun was golden Johnny

Wheels of Terror or The Misfit Brigade war film from 1987 was a film adaptation of Sven Hassel's book.

As Stalin says on my t-shirt, Dark Humor is like food. Not everyone gets it.

The made some WW2 movies in Yugoslavia with ex USSR tanks: "The night of The Fox" (1990) / Force 10 from navarone (1978). In "The misfit Brigade" is also David Patrick Kelly in his role The Legionnaire. Famous for his Sullys part in "Commando" (1985)

Big Johnson tanks

I loved those "German" tanks in the Misfit brigade. David Caradine did anice acting job in the movie.

This is great, love the tank content. Thanks for making great videos.

Even though the su 85 and 100 are mock ups of the t 34 85 tank or regular t 34 tank, they share the same Chassis but they are converted versions of t34s

Say this in a french cinena class, Battle of Algias. Had to look it up

Very interesting stuff. Thanks.

In a way, assault guns are kinda like a modern battering ram

Would you consider making a video on the Renault FT17? It deserves more appreciation. Despite being the tank that set the standard for pretty much everything else in armored warfare, it doesn’t seem to get much attention.

Nice video

Love the footage you've compiled with the information and data provided, great production! If I may, it'd be great if the video was longer, and perhaps included examples of engagements and how these tanks were employed tacticlly?

Have yet to spade these in WT 😅

Waiting on the marathon length video that’s needed for the 1911 lol

Soviet military gentle clap this.

Well designed, as a gradual improvement of standard chassis, so no new for switch the production line was needed

These two things are monsters in War Thunder

Another pearl of knowledge from Johnny Johnson!!! Tank you!!! By the way, have you make any coverage of the movie Hacksaw Ridge?

Thanks again Johnny.... Old F-4 Shoe🇺🇸

SU-100 is actually bit main by soviets. Even in battle of berlin. The chassis of the SU-100 was look like a T34's chassis and body of the back of the tank.

"saw Johnny post a video about SU series" :grabs popcorn

SU-85Ms and SU-100s were frontally immune from Panzer IVs at all ranges and Panthers at very long range...

I've seen the Tamiya model and have wondered about the effectiveness of this tank destroyer, but it's hardly ever talked about for some reason.

Anti-aircraft guns during WWII had a habit of becoming anti-tank guns. One only needs to look at the 85mm gun for the Soviets, the 88mm gun for the Germans, and the 90mm for the Americans.

Such fearsome and monsterous tank destroyers. Those things may not be pretty to look at, but they still hit hard even to this day.

Plz do a vid on the Stuart tank

the funny thing is that the Vietnamese People Army, PAVN still use around 100 to 200 Su-100 for coastal defense, figthing and anbushing landingcraft or light, amphibious vehicle. There are currently plans to uprade them with newer weapon like ATGMs or change them into a SPA vehicle using 122mm artillery howitzer

Im surprised they weren't given a pintle DsKH like the ISU-122 and ISU-152.

according to western ww2 historian ,written by german historian which magically found a german tanker diary , they said that german manage to destroy 1,000,000 SU tanks with no loss on german side ! German just get bored of the battle and decide to stop fighting

that, sir, is not a tranquilizer!

'Mechanically Cursed' 😂

Like Stalin once famously said, "Dark humor is like food, not everyone gets it"!!

Another SU worth noting is the SU-122-54, and ironically, it also shows up in the WWII movie as "SU-100" or "SU-85", just can't really tell coz the cupolas are all covered by the soldiers :( at 4:35 in the video. The SU-122-54 is a secret and, I believe, the last of the SU series

Sir, you forgot to mention the algerian SU-100s, which appeared in the great movie: The Battle of Algiers, 1966 representing French vehicles.

now do ISU 152, an effing behemoth and J7W Shinden pls

There was a SU-100 found in Yemen. Dear God that thing is outdated compared to modern weapons and armour.

🤣😂🤣 Collective Humour -for the people

The vehicles had trouble with ditches and going down slopes and such, as the long barrel could dig into the ground. There was also a lot of weight at the frong, putting extra wear and stress on the front road wheels and their suspension.

Its always interesting how Tank Destroyer main gun become main gun for medium tank/mbt that came later and after the war US M1 76mm on M18 Hellcat - any 76mm armed M4 90mm on M36 Jackson - M26 Pershing and M46, 47 and 48 Patton Soviet 85mm on SU-85 - T-34-85 100mm on SU-100 - T-44 and T-54/55 British 17-pounder on many of their tank destroyer - Comet (77mm) and early Centurion variant

I can say good video and also if you haven't done it already may look into Soviet Tanks like T-54/55 or the legendary T-34 along with tank tactics said for the T-34 tanks wouldn't try to shoot at Nazi tanks but really charged full speed at them to stop them.

Tank care, Johnny. Catch ya on the next one.

Could you talk about the ASUs? That would be awesome!!

can you make a video on the Jagdpanzer IV / Panzer IV / 70? Those are so sleek looking and awesome.

day 12 asking for b-29 in movies

I see what you did there at the end. ;)

4:42 Bruh WTF, hehe love the jokes at the end

Hahaha one of your best jokes :D

Good video!!! Perhaps the SU-85 & SU-100 that are being portrayed as German vehicles in war movies were actually Beute Panzers, captured enemy vehicles pressed into German service. Granted that the average movie-viewer would not know that. Just a FAR-FETCHED thought on my part!!! LOL!! But yep, just like using American armor during the 1960s-1970s as German vehicles with just a coat of grey paint and some markings. Have a 1:35 scale plastic model of an SU-100 painted up in German camo/markings - looks great!!

"Hold J for 3 seconds to leave vehicle"

Somebody should SU you for the puns. I don't know if that requires an attorney or artillery.

You sound unusually serious in this episode. Perhaps it’s the Soviet influence, no western frivolity comrade.

DSHK machine gun next :)

SU-100 was a sharp beast. The 85 could NOT kill an Tiger at 1km only at about 600 metres at 90°

The source footage names are unreadable half of the time. Could you put a black bar behind the text in following videos? Thank you for the lecture 😊

Where do you get your stock videos and images?

Man I love me some casemates.

(Description needs a fix, since this isn't about tranqs.) Coulda sworn these SPGs are also in Company of Heroes 2, R.U.S.E., and Girls und Panzer.

It was use during 1967 anx 1973 war.according to israel.the tank are diffulty to drive due to uneven weight balance

They also erroneously appeared at La Bataille d'Alger, as French AFVs.

Gonna get a vid on the beast killer the SU-152 and its upgrade the ISU-152 as well?

No tiger review?

Su 100 probaly the best soviet tank destroyer from WWII

Man these are some weird looking jets

Cool

Damn Commies, getting everything for free

@4:40 heheheheh bo time gaming

What does self propelled gun mean?

That was a communist joke because no one gets it. Thanks for another interesting video Johnny.

Wait,SU-85’s gun is D-5T, not D-5S?

1st. one here Johnny! 10:04 pm 👍👍👍👍

The su 100 is my favorite tank destroyer in wot

Why does that soviet officer in that jeep looks constipated?
