Was just going to say! Your video on this subject was brilliant Callum

I still do

How did you know?

@@jimbrent8151 Because we were all kids at some point...

@@steven401ytx Good!

Yeah, but the one I imagined had multiple cars like a train and had gun-turrets, because of course it did. It also had to be amphibious and would cross oceans by driving over the seabed... I was a very small kid when I thought of and drew these kinds of things, so I didn't understand how water pressure worked or just how deep the ocean was.

Great idea!

ooooo. great basis concept indeed. класно!!

Would be cool to have something like this in Death Stranding 2, a vehicle that has a room.

And oil refinery nearby.

Starfield > Landfield

I would watch the hell out of that.

Sadly there is only one small part of Antarctica that is public for people. About 95% of Antarctica is a restricted military area, so the Antarctica Van Life guys could not do much there :(

Living the van life 😂 cringe youtuber

If you have *a lot* of money, high-end "expedition vehicles" class RVs can get quite far, though not quite *that* far. Check out monsters like Unicat's EX74HDC or EX70HDQ.

A concept that the U.S don't get

@@duquepp2078 Yeah, I heard that the US spent 2 trillion dollar and 20 years in Afghanistan to replace Taliban with Taliban, while JWST only cost only 10 billion. If these 2 trillion dollar was put into space exploration, we might be watching news about successful human landing on mars instead of human bombed to death.

@@duquepp2078The US invented warfare? Who are you people and are you able to even tie your own shoes?!

Nice one 😂

Great joke, “tanks a lot.”

If it is a WW-1 tank, then it’s Antantctica P.S. that’s in Russian, in English it would be Ententerctica

@@Fuseflight09 Well, the Mk whatever WWI British tanks DO provide ample internal space, soooooo.... :D

Almost space exploration but in earth.

That's obvious. Those people had to figure out everything for themselves in the most harsh environment on earth. Wouldn't send a foot soldier to do an engineer's job. These people got paid well for working on the south pole :)

No. You'd only have yo get a couple idiots to follow instructions.

Like Chernobyl, right?

It’s inspiring, but sometimes not always the best solution, depending.

Why would any russian explain a Ukrainian machine made by Ukrainians in Ukraine and named after Kharkiv, a Ukrainian city that russians currently bomb?

Yes we have linked it! Calum really helped with this video

​​@@FoundAndExplainedAny possible future collabs? Also looking forward to the video on that 3rd generation vehicle

Calum. I love that dude's deep dives. I tend to rewatch them when pain wakes me up at night and unable to fall back to sleep 😴

They're probably still at the base.

I agree…it really speaks to the faithful engineering involved.

It was INSANE.

VTOL Aircraft has replaced them.

remember the American purpose built wheeled vehicle for Antarctic? it moved few feet and got lost under the ice😂

Yeah I have no idea how he got the Sh pronunciation there. Unless this is some weird current day revisionism that the Ukrainian government is doing. I am Ukrainian American myself, and my family is from the eastern part of the country. Allot of names have been changed in Ukraine in recent years since 2014 that were never used by Ukrainian people because of Ukrainian nationalists trying to distance themselves from Russia. This is around the same time even the Russian language was banned in schools.

@@-Zevin- you're a clown, not Ukrainian.

@@-Zevin-nah man, he just got inspiration from the Shaqule Onale guy

"Shark-off" lol. Проводница ругается: "Хто нахарькыв? Немедленно убрать харчки!"

@@-Zevin-no, there’s nothing like this. I think he mispronounced the “ch” which is equal to “kh” in this case. The rest of your comment about “nationalists” and “banning of Russian language in schools” will be ignored by me, as it’s a bunch of nonsense.

Would be even better with a small crew, different characters have different talents, you have to be careful not to let stress separate the team, maybe some crew members will start relationships or turn out to be spies

Too boring. White space, no roads, no sights, nothing. Apart from the dashboard.

I am building a game like this.

@@tomiczdarko Do you work alone?

I do@@__-vb3ht

Yep, Jarkovchanka would be in Spanish. In English I don't get why they use the phoneme /j/ as KH when it sounds exactly as they pronounce the english H. Cyrillic X is just like H. It would be Harkovchanka like Hammer HA HAR ha, ha.

​ @Argentvs That's not entirely true. Cyrillic X is not read as H, Russians don't know how to properly pronounce it, that's why they say Khotel (you get me right? :D ) instead of Hotel with hard H as it is in English. For instance in Ukrainian, they do know the letter H and can pronounce it pretty well, their currency is hryvnia, written with cyrillic G instead. I am a Czech so I am pretty versatile in terms of pronouncing these words and letters, for us it would just be Charkovčanka. But yeah, KH is read as in KHaki or KHanate with K and some subtle background sound :D

@@ShiftyMoravianI didn't understand anything. When I hear the russian name pronounced it is exactly as our J in Spanish. Our J is H in english, Jajajaja, is laughing, hahahaha. Sounds same. In Russian XAXAXAXA. Same with CYXOИ. They write Sukhoi, but it is Sujoi for us in Spanish. In english it sounds SOO HOY. Su like in Susan and Hoy like in Hoyts Su-hoy.

​@@ArgentvsKh and j are similar but not the same. I speak both languages

@@Argentvs I yet again misunderstood :D Sorry, you're right, now I understood, because reading HaHa in my head sounds as if it was the H hotel :D

It is basically a land submarine and that's so darn cool.

I think a modern version would use a hydrogen powered fuel cell to face the cold and noise problem.

hydrogen requires massive fuel cells and constant refueling due to low energy density

yeah he butchered the hell out of it lol. Kaar-Kuhv (or Kaar-keev today)

Yep . It’s pronounced Hark-Ov-Chan-Ka actually

And he had it written in the English orthography... imagine if he had it written in Polish ortography, "Charkowczanka" :D

@@ExarchGamingit was excrushiating to hear it pronounshed

I'm from Kharkov and i'm offended

And I know that I probably spelled *Diatlov* wrong, so please feel free to correct me.

@@evanpodwalny3531 D´yatlov. Basically, you are not far off. The only difference is that they pronounced an "er" after "D" which is here silent.

It was in the Ural mountains, not in Siberia

The crazy thing is that the Russians had the perfect environment to test a prototype, but did do it. They just sent them off to be deployed in service.

​@@superdave8248У американцев есть Аляска да и Канада рядом но испытать свою технику так и не смогли.

Such decisions were not made in Kremlin.

Ukrainian engineer in this case.

@@79keydet For all intent and purposes he was a SOVIET engineer. That is until 91-92.

Ukraine, UNR, was occupied by Soviet Russia in 1921, and yes they used a puppet Ukrainian SSSR with capital in occupied Kharkiv to do that. So cope with the history @@zahrans

​@@79keydetnope. You either embrace the soviet legacy, both good and bad, and respect your history, or reject everything from that period as "evil occupiers doing evil occupiers things to evilly occupy us", which includes old soviet built factories, hospitals, universities, railroads, metro, etc. Guess what Ukraine chose.

Calum is good content. 👍

Really good content. His enthusiasm is very inspiring.

especially with so butchered pronunciation

spending a week video editing, no problem. spending an hour on discord with a native speaker practicing names of locations, impossible

You’d think that due to the SMO and worldwide news about Ukraine, having Kharkov region being on of the popular locations, you’d by now know how to pronounce it, without the use of any translators or native speakers. Nope

Designed and built by Ukrainians in Ukraine, Kharkiv

It had nothing to do with tanks that came later. Tanks already existed before it. SWAT vehicles are usually wheeled. There's no connection.

Nah, I do not think it was the engine noise primarily (although the engine noise/vibrations in enclosed metal box couldn't have been very pleasant), he mentioned the exhaust soots going inside, which means fumes too, which created the problem of the possibility of CO poisoning, and that was the biggest problem as they had to sleep on smaller intervals and stay on alert in case something happened.

@@RIlianP ya those are all terrible, but after staing those he did say that the noise would be bad, and i just know from experience that a diesel is great for putting you out, whereas gas engines are just an annoyance

​@@jasonlauritsen5587 as a long haul trucker you ain't lying. Get some damn good sleep in that sucker.

I'm sure by now they've added a solar generator... some possible chance of a wind generator... to try to maximize options with charging batteries (mostly for heat)

have you been in a big boat or ship's engine compartment ? Hard to get asleep there. These are not usual diesel engines.

🤣

I was thinking the same thing, like bro stop covering it again I'm trying to look inside. Smh.

@@nobytes2 It's not remotely accurate, so it doesn't matter.

You DO realize this was not his work right? He is just showing you a Russian video...they did the 3D work...this dude does not work with 3D. Man, you guys are kinda dumb not to realize this...

The same way they are doing it in the space station. I've watched once an American astronaut saying that America had all the tech but once a system was failing, everything went down with it. Also American equipment is a lot more expensive. Not saying American tech is inferior, on the contrary, but simple mechanical engineering should be implemented to reduce points of failure, in my opinion.

except, it usually did not work, and did not last either.

Not to mention the numerous of ww2 rifles, sten, stg44, mg42, pistols such as the luger, c96 and also modern rifles as the ar15 has been used to make props for the star wars movies. And the empire is based on germany during ww2, their officer uniforms etc. George Lucas took inspiration from alot of things

​@@TapirrrEven to the sound and speeds of certain ships which is based on WW2 planes.

Yeah, you seem to be right.

Like Project Habakkuk?

Though you have to admit, those paper project aircraft are pretty wacky and innovative, if I do say so myself!

What about car concepts?

@@adastra7939 I believe "land vehicles" covers that mate

Ukrainian👹 Kharkiv that a city in Ukraine where it’s been engineered

​​@@derricksave1358most residents in kharkiv are ethnic russians since russian empire and soviet times. But you still can't say scientists were russians or ukrainians because in USSR, scientists came from all over the union including koreans too

Why are Ukrainians like that? Is that because you so much lower IQ compared to Russians? Is this some kind of inferiority complex that posses you to make stupid comments? @@derricksave1358

​@@alystero8838but if ethnic Ukrainian does something in Russia it becomes russian 🤡

@@alystero8838 I believe they would disagree with you right now, at least most of them. They might speak russian language, but I doubt there are a lot of people who consider themselves russian

💯

imagine what humanity could achieve by working together.

Like I said before we got the tech to visit and go to other worlds but no rather use it to destroy ourselves & conquer other countries for their shit..😢😢😢

That would be cool!

What the hell are you dribbling on about

When you compress snow, especially with a big vehicle, it would just fill any treads solid anyways. This is also bad for other reasons, since if you stopped for the night, snow in treads can turn to ice and lock the wheels in place. The wheels were big enough and the vehicle heavy enough that you wouldn't really need a lot of traction from treads anyways, and it's not that they're going up steep terrain. The idea is basically that as you roll forward, you're flattening out the snow and pushing it aside, rather than digging into it, which essentially creates a solid roadway out of snow. If you start adding treads, you'd have surface features left in the snow. If a crew needed to turn back for some serious reason, they would definitely want to follow the same path they took as best as possible, as it would be quicker and save on fuel, so leaving a smooth flat imprint would be more beneficial. That also helps if you're towing anything, since if you left tread patterns in the snow, whatever you're pulling would constantly be impeded slightly by it, creating drag. That could add up to quite a bit of extra fuel usage over time, and in a place where you might end up dangerously low on fuel, every potential savings of it could be a life or death situation. Even temperature can play a role, because the material could be much weaker at those temps, meaning treads could either wear quicker, or potentially crack and separate.

@@peoplez129 Thanks for very comprehensive explanation. However, its main reasoning about treads filling anyway still seems a bit "greenhorn-ish" to me, like it was thought up by someone who never actually worked in snowy conditions. Or muddy conditions. Or maybe in practice anywhere. I mean, after some time, mud will fill the treads of your boots just as snow would, but nobody says screw traction and wears smooth soles into any kind of rougher terrain, because everybody knows that's sure way to faceplant (which is basically what happened to snow cruiser immediately after disembarking, if I remember correctly). When something is impeding the crucial function of your machinery, you need to find ways to restore said function, not hope it would somehow work out without it.

U S A ... U S A They freedom'd up one actually ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KpWv68xECrY.html

Nuclear powered propulsion you mean to say right? And yes it would be ideal but even portable reactors are quite large and the vehicle would be like a land ship. It would be big enough that it would be probably all you would need though, getting it there would be a problem, it would have to be constructed there basically.

The video started with politics. As always dismissive of Russia

Sure he not, so why he said and put on video pic "russian" but not soviet. And Kharkov(chanka) is Ukraine. He didnt even told who Vernadskiy is.

in antartica you dont make "long days in the cold" because if you stay outside more than 15 minutes you die. They were living all day and night in this vehicle,, it was filled with motor fumes, cold, humidity, feces and urine odours, promiscuous, so lovely.

Hi serious, I'm dad

This got me too😂😂😂😂

Not tank but heavy artillery tractor AT-T

@@sanproekt AT-T was made on T-54 chassis, so it's just the same.

@@Haktarrr Not the same! Only same components was used

@@sanproekt Don't get so excited lol

If it's still in good condition it is likely worth recovering to use as an IFV in Ukraine. Do they have any spares in storage?
