Tank Chats  

And deadly

The tank do be rather stacked tho

Reminds me of lieutenant Gruber from 'Allo 'Allo: "Very well built"

My X was a "rather well built" gal.

Rather healthy. My preferred term

I seem to remember something similar on a documentary about the US recognition names given to Japanese WW2 aircraft. Apparently the Betty bomber was named after a US nurse one of the team had met. He was reminded of her by the two very large blisters on the sides. Though I have a feeling that what she had were not blisters

And in the 50's american cars had "Dagmar bumpers" named after the actress Dagmar (born Virginia Ruth Egnor).

Weapons grade tact

Now I’m Not usually one to point these out, as it’s not that bigger deal - (great video as per usual) but does he keep saying Tizhny Nagil - instead of Nizhny Tagil (which I believe is correct) unless it’s pronounced/interchanged depending on translation. 😀

Timestamp?

The same can be said for its grandparents the T-54s. At least the T-90s are still mixable. Did you see the Chinese variations on the t-54? Absolutely wild! The type 96, despite having nearly everything completely different, still uses the same T-54 hull dimensions.

They're like a male and female mules trying to breed, they desire to breed, but it's to no avail!

@@martentrudeau6948 Serbia made so far best T72 family upgrade, with Yugoslavian version of T72(M84) now named M84AS1 and AS2

What, like pizzly bears?

The tanks are following the evolutionary path leading to different species.

Idk but that made me laugh

Small whit big granades, deadly

@@ljubomirculibrk4097 her age shows but still a nice ride :)

Not true… No one has been successfully at blowing her top off like the T-72… She is an Abrams with those massive twin uranium armor plates on the front that never comes off in Public …

@@CH-pv2rz well said.

See the AR-15. It was intended as a stopgap until Project SPIW produced something better, but it just didn't and the AR-15 has stuck around for a very long time

That would be Abrams for me but I agree. Its very Tanky

@@Masada1911 Abrams is one of the ugliest modern mbts to me, not that it makes a difference to how effective it is.

@@britbong1457 Agreed. It's much less attractive than the Soviet made tanks

I like the T-64 more, just not the autoloader though

@@moritamikamikara3879 Leopard 2, Leclerc and T-80 look cool but nothing beats challenger 2 of course :р

Extra encouragement to watch where your driving!

And they say the Soviets didn't care about crew comfort

Its soft rubber for a fan :)

In soviet Russia you blow fan

get's hot in a metal box in Afghanistan

Almost as bad as trying to keep up with all of the various Marks of Spitfire. That's good for starting a headache.

Hell you'd have to keep updating the book, since the tank is still in service with many countries they'll want to keep upgrading them in various ways.

Just the same as writing a book, called “M3”. Just try to thing of everything called M3 in the different branches of the US military and you are up for a long count and a big laugh:D

If you want to know about Soviet variants up to 1991, watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FhXjWagVGF8.html

T-55 ended up being in service so long that it was the first tank with a hard kill active protection system (T-55AMV in Soviet Navy service iirc, but remembering T-55 designations is impossible lol). I wonder if T-72 will serve long enough for someone to slap a laser point defense system on it.

So small in comparison to other tanks in the West that the Soviet had a mandated height requirement of 5"4. I heard from a guy that drove a T-72; he was an American and he quoted, "Only midgets could 've drive this tank".

This and the 64, which one is smaller?

I saw that tank in Bovington and I was surprised how small a profile it has. After seeing the Tiger it was even more surprising.

@@BHuang92 Think 5"9' was the limit

@@zxbzxbzxb1 That was the height David quoted.

warthunderist?

Nice...lol Very funny but true.

Oh God that awful

And no retreat comrade, reverse is not the way

WOT

I picture a fish tank.

So iconic.

I see the Centurion.

I picture the t-55

Maybe it's been flashed across the world's TV screens back when the anti communist revolutions in Europe and Tiannamen etc. Took place.

Lol, keep it away from Ukraine then!!! When the Russians lose, you might be able to buy one for cheap from the Ukrainian Farmers Union 🚜 😀, BUT never ask a Ukrainian farmer how he got his tanks 🤔 🙄 💀 😒 🤣

@@Craig-wp3pz Ukrainian farmer will say that he went to the forest for mushrooms and our tank

like a boer, these are trully boxer tanks

But there in lies issues

They are the first Soviet tank was a sport tank, they just upgraded it

I totally read "sportstank" in Jeremy Clarkson's voice.

Being low and sleek doesn't help much when being NLAW'd from above. Mind you it's certainly sporty when it turns into a cabriolet.

hahahah. Best comment today!

Victory for Ukraine!

Aye!

🤣that’s too true

It's very windy in the Ukraine since February 24th.

And a few of them even come with turrets attached!

You were expendable unfortunately.

😃

You mean more easily retrieve the charred bodies.

They will be using them as tractors in eastern europe for years to come

It works for them.

Well, if you gave me two options between the US or Soviet tanks back in the 70s: American M60 Patton tank or the T-72; I would've picked the T-72. (between the Centurion or T-72, it's a bit harder to decide and that's sad because the Centurion comes from WW2). The T-72 is like the AK-47, old equipment that's astonishingly still being used today (including by Ukraine). It's like this medieval armour vs early gun test -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ygaSMeTh-f0.html Frankly I'm impressed in this video how many hits that tank took and held up (from the side and rear no less and frankly that shouldn't happen, because you're supposed to have infantry or IFV's protecting each other's flanks etc) -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-W9pVEP0AzZ4.html I think it's more a case of doctrine (or in this case many of the commanders and units didn't know they where going to actually attack), so a lot of it was rushed. Tanks running out of supply etc. Also not to mentions this fact -> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SVD-nBvSBkw.html And I can't stress doctrine enough. Look at the M1 Abrams tanks in Yemen or Turkey's Leopard tanks in Syria. Tanks are (even from WW2 days) are very vulnerable in Urban or close quarter combat.

They blow up well too

@@astralwerks4 The Javelines did not exist when T-72 and T-64 were designed. They were excellent for the times.

@@morning_glorymonster3473 Not really, they had Sagger etc and other NAT wire guided Anti Tank missiles that could crack them open with hollow charge weapons like Swingfire were on the scenre already,. Sometimes when the Israeli´s fired their .50 inch ranging guns on the Centurion Tanks the crews were already bailing out! Just a pity their training is so crap, every tank is only as good as its crew?

Actually a T-55 drives much better than a T-72.

@@jimmylight4866 No. T-72 has a more powerful engine and is way faster. Still, T-55 is a pleasure to drive. Its 'cruches' are surprisingly sensitive and easy to operate. Unfortunatelly, I had to drive it only once as I was a gunner. It fealt more like sailing on water than like riding on a bumpy road. Still, this is how it feels low, in the driver's seat. When one is in the turret, the riding is anything but pleasant.

Don't forget the slave-based food import economy from the occupied countries to keep those tank factory workers alive...

Now a burned tank export economy.

Pretty similar things happen to Abrams and Leopards when hit by ATGMs. Have a look at Yemen or Syria.

@@thomasp506 yes abrams have been taken out but not like t-72 ....

@@tbateman9902 They don't blow up as spectacularly, but they get taken out all the same. ATGMs just hard counter tanks, period.

@lil' donnie That's my point. Crew inexperience is a bigger factor than the design of the tank. A Javelin would smoke a T-72 and an Abrams all the same. The ammo going off is just added fireworks. The lack of air and infantry support, and positioning of the tank, is what allows that to happen.

Leo 2 is probably the only thing that comes close to t72 in terms of export numbers

I think you guys bought the (some of the) Leopards from us (the Netherlands) :) I hope you take good care of them, I think it was a mistake to sell all our tanks tbh.

Tanks are pretty much obsolete in 21st century warfare. They are fine in asymmetrical warfare, but if your opponent has drones and TOW missile defenses then it’s not cost effective to deploy tanks. In Iraq, American’s destroyed more vehicles with IFV equipped with missiles launchers than our main battle tanks.

@@snakedogman I heard that there was a bit of a debate on the NL media about selling A6s to Finland. I also heard that one of the arguments was that they become better use in here :)-

@@EmergencyChannel Tanks are definitely not obsolete. Drones cannot hold positions or operate in all weathers, and IFVs/APCs don't have the protection levels of MBTs. See The Chieftan's comments for someone who knows what they're talking about, I'm just repeating his points.

Definitely an imagination overload.

That means M60 is Super dolly T-72 or what?

@@akrepiidfiresupportvehicle2289 More of a Missy Elliott, if you ask me :D:D:D But man, I guess that you can place a grand piano inside an M60 or a Leopard 1, if required by the combat doctrine:D

The Super Dolly Parton armor is a silicone composite 🤣

No thank you. This video is just fine. This channel says they stay out of politics, and current events. They are only here to educate and teach.

@@TheBigExclusive Well, I sort of got what I wished for. It is relevant to any critique of the T72 that its vulnerability has been dramatically exposed.

Oh. So that's the name of «hunter car», so-called modification of the vehicle from Xenonauts?

isn that autoloading mechanizm heavier than loader itself? :-)

@@Bynk333 yes but it still allows the tank to be smaller and if maintenance is done proper and it doesn’t fail the machine won’t get tired.

The fourth man was still there, he was just in the maintenance company rather than inside the tank. Besides moving one guy out of four out of harm's way (relatively), the reason for the autoloader is clearly explained here - unlike a human loader, it doesn't need to be able to stand up, so the turret can have a lower profile.

Good thing for Soviets is it's one less man to get cooked.

In this case it also means your track can be a third lighter or resilient - Abrams is now almost at Tiger II weight and Chally 2 is well beyond.

Same here My favorite of Modern MBT's. Tiger is #1 all time though.

@Neil Rusling Not that short. There were differences Tobe noted. The potential of the T-72 was being taken seriously. We were also advised as to Russian APCs and allied vehicles.

The auto loader has been known to actually eat crewmembers arms.

@@fatefinger The instructors were making jokes about the Red Army Choir's soprano section!

@@fatefinger That's a load of bull, there are guard rails alongside the crew members which make it impossible for that to happen. The Tank Museum employ a former East German soldier who gave a report on the T72 recently on this channel. He drove them regularly, as a training instructor, and answered all the myths and BS that gets spouted out by so many ignoramus's. T72 just recently destroyed a Leopard2 in Ukraine in a rare tank on tank battle, so the Soviet philosophy of tank building is still proving better than the Western concept of buying brand new super expensive 70 ton large targets which can be seen and hit from miles away.

@@rightiswrongrightiswrong806 hello Russian propaganda troll.

Id say tbe T54/55 is the AK47, and this is more of the AK74 ;)

@@andrewreegs6319 agreed. Good call.

Yes..the ukenazis have plenty of their destroyed wrecks to offer

Only when driven by ukenazis tho

They have plenty of tanks now thanks to farmers with tractors

@@Extraordinarylurker "they have been doing surprisingly well" got any proofs beyond twitter screeching?

@@Klovaneer you are a clown if you don't know that Russia has lost 500 tanks in combat.

@@williamgaston9812 This comes from what? Ukrainian Ministry? Ever heard of Propaganda going both sides? ever heard of edited videos? ever heard that even if a Tank gets hit directly its probably not even disabled? Critical thinking, Massive lack of that today.

@@littledeath6432 Actually Ukrainian numbers seem to be close to reality. They are doing good job, no need to lie

Polish T-72M. Kinda T-72A but license made in Poland by the Bumar Łabendy Company. I mean not the one in the video. The one from the picture. The one shown in the video is from the Polish Army as well.

Electric Avenue?

@mandellorian That and the number of 8 -track cassettes stuck in the door pockets 😉

Is the steel of your grannys car about 650-800mm (ATGM) or 500mm (APFSDS) of high hardness steel?

@@zentralratderfliesentischb660 That sounds about right. Detroit didn't hold back in that era. :)

In the period until the mid-80s, neither American nor German tanks. They could not withstand the penetration of a projectile from a 125mm cannon, a T-72 tank. Only if your grandmother had a more resistant car to the projectile than a tank of the American and German armies.

@@SRB.4S Detroit didn't hold back in those days. Soviet munitions would bounce off my grandmother's car. It was made for the Fulda Gap.

not all machinery, but tank is a word of masculine gender

A condom is he or she? :)

@@ldkbudda4176 its a masculine word, also a degragatory name for someone

The Ukrainians, i have noticed, field invincible t64 and t72, they never seem to lose a single unit, at least according to the UK news, I wonder what it is they do to them which makes them invincible?
