that is the issue with postering and deceptions: while it CAN scare away some potential rivals, it might trigger a development race, and obviously Russia couldn't quite keep it up. Imagine what an uncorrupt Russia could have done.
That's the funny part Russia keeps making NATO stronger, Putin gave us way more border land with Russia thanks to Finland and Sweden joining the NATO wave it wouldn't have happened if he wouldn't have invaded, now we wait for the Ukraine to win and allow them in as well 😭
That moment in the T-14 propaganda documentary where they're all "Look, the newest French tank has an autoloader, NATO is desperately trying to catch up!" My man, the French have been putting autoloaders in their tanks since the 1950s. It's kind of their thing.
@@karotgamin790 Not really in the 40's, since the French didn't really have a tank industry at all in the late 40's following WW2, which is why the French army was, for a time, equipped with German Panther tanks... which they HATED with a passion, both as a symbol of the occupation and for its teeth-shatteringly bad mechanical problems
@@weldonwinexactly, and a fun fact that tend to piss off the wehraboo quite a lot is that the Panther actually served in the French army for longer than in the Wehrmacht and they did all the objective comparisons to the other Western tanks (especially the Sherman). I insist on the objective, proof being that they loved 75mm from the Panther so much that they modified it and put in the AMX-13.
The T-14 has a top secret weapon…..when hit with a shell, it will be able to launch its turret into orbit, we beat you Americans in the space race’ Now we will do it again! We will have The first turret to land on the moon. The M1A2 Abrams will never achieve that’ the M1A2 Abrams can only run over mines with little to no damage. Not impressed….Comrade Pooptin is a stable genius. We also upgraded the T-72 with a Kamikaze feature. We run them into the enemy tank….before it Spontaneously combust. It also can launch a Turret at the enemy….they fly high.
Fun fact about the M1 Abrams, it's governed to 45 MPH. If the treads were able to withstand the punishment, the engine could propel the tank up to speeds to 62 MPH.
How much you want to bet that if the Ukrainians get their hands on an Abrams before the war ends that they're going to be removing those limiters and do something insane... It might nit be a good idea, it might not end well, but it will be fucking cool to watch.
1:19 The propagandists who filmed this didn't seem to know how bad the stabilizer is on the Armata. That gun can't hit an apartment building while on the move lol.
I love how all the footage of the T-14 driving has the turret rotating. Makes it look like it just does that when it moves. Like the turret controls are chained into the drive train.
If the Amata doesn't have a nickname yet, I propose "The Trophy Wife": It doesn't go anywhere, it seldom works (if ever), it doesn't do anything except waste its daddy's money, but daddy keeps it around because it is nice to look at and it makes him feel like he's 20 again.
The "Smekalka" part of this video reminds me of the anecdote about the "Russian Space Pen", where, upon discovering that regular ballpoint pens cannot write in zero gravity, the Americans spent millions of dollars developing a pen that can write in zero G, upside-down, underwater, etc... and the Russians gave their cosmonauts pencils. It's a story so old and tired that even its rebuttal has become cliche: *both* the Russians and the Americans had tried using pencils, the Americans replaced them with "space pens" because they didn't want graphite dust getting into the electronics and fucking them up... and the Russians ended up buying the American space pens as well.
Plus the super expensive space pen was developed and made independently of NASA and offered to them at a price below cost because the person who started the project wanted to help out the space program. But that does make for a less catchy anecdote.
@@fools_opinions don't forget that is how R&D works at the end of the day it will ends up commercially successful anyway not so much of a capitalism's failure isn't it
Smekalka --> mental coping mechanism and deep expression of the misery of Russian life. Always looking for easy way out rather than deeply investing incremental innovation.
@@Vode1234 I'm sure it will start flying should it ever see combat. Yes I inow about the blowout panels I assume they will be welded shut because that's pretty common for Russia.
@@kennedyshotfirst2534 true story- December 2012 I'm in Northern russian city. I'm with Austrian chick who prefers to take actual licensed taxi, because safer. Licensed taxi asks her if she likes skiing. Then he asks if we've ever seen a car ski? He proceeds to do donuts on the ice in a mostly empty Lenta parking lot. He laughs and I smell alcohol. Her nails break the flesh on my wrist. I hope he got mobilized, not all Russians are shit but no tears for that guy.
I love how almost every shot of the T-14, has the turret spinning round and round, as if one of the crew has leant on the traversing lever by accident, the handle has instantly broken and now they can't stop it endlessly spinning as if it were trying to achieve lift-off
I'm wondering if in order to save costs on the electric motors that would be needed to turn the turret they instead just connected the turret to the drive shaft and the gunner aims by having the driver move fowards and backwards.
@Ozzy08018 A Bradley didn't do it to an Armata, but it really could as shown by the pair of Ukrainian Bradleys that took down a T-90 in a point blank engagement by blinding it and then just pounding the disoriented tank into submission with their Bushmasters.
@jacplac97 still accurate when you realize the russians main tactic is essentially attempting to draw the enemy into artillery fire which is all Russia seems to be good at.
Thing about Smykałka - it's not only in Russia, you can find it in most of the former Soviet Bloc countries. On one hand, it is genuine. It was kind of necessary to find ways around obstacles you found in the everyday life. On the other hand - it means finding solutions to problems not known in the West anymore. It's just like one of the best quotes I've ever heard about the army and morale: The army that is well organised and up to the task doesn't have heroes - because it does not need them to get the job done.
here's another funny quote about heroes: a hero will disarm one landmine. a professional will disarm hundreds. it's funny if your sense of humor is dark enough...

The documentary guy was sweaty because: A) the AC doesn't work B) the cameraman had a gun on him C) the "hydraulic hatch" failed the last time and they had to reshoot Pick one or all, your call.
Air conditioners in a tank are a waste of time. There is simply too much thermal radiation coming off the hull. In summer in the desert - no air conditioner can keep up with the heat radiating of the armor into the tank. A far more effective solution is to have the crewmembers wear vests that have cool air flowing through them. (Cool the person, not 10-20 tons of steel.)
Ac is a waste…the T-14 has a blowout sun roof, when hit, the turret flys high. The T stands for T Top….when the T-14 is towed to the front lines, it will be joining the Turret flying Olympics,
The F-35 production was started even before the design work had finished or the design faults corrected. The idea was to simply upgrade the jets later to the operational standard. It's yet to be seen if this plan will ever implemented.

I swear, the anti technology crowd would look at a new (hypothetical) German active protection system and claim it was to expensive, to mechanically unreliable, and just to make generals rich, while a Russian one is reliable, cheap, and is designed for war, even though the Russian one is expensive, mechanically unreliable, and designed by Ural just because they wanted to brag about it and make a ton of money. Meanwhile that German one is extreamly reliable and its design started work in 2004. Through those 20 or so years, they made it cheaper, more reliable, built for every combat situation, and even has a combat record from 2012 that is pretty good considering that was a prototype in a shitty situation: urban warfare. The report also describes long range combat, and it apparently intercepted a Milan missle. Now with 12 more years of development it is one of the best APS’s out there. Now how can that be a “bad system”? It isn’t.
Im from Mexico My music teacher moved from Russia about 20 years ago Whilst trying to put some of her papers in check, they (she and her family) moved back to Russia in 2019 They were still in Russia when the pandemic started, and were unable to leave the country They finally moved back to Mexico in late 2021 (We have classes with her on Fridays) I remember the 24 of February of 2022, a Thursday We received a message that we wouldn’t have her class the next day, as she was grieving the death of her cousin, who died in the opening assault of the war Life is hard

A little more context about the "touchscreens" at 8:12. Back in the early 2000s my mom worked on a proof of concept demonstration of a future submarine command system. In doing so she got to use a touchscreen. She said that the touchscreen that she used during the demonstration was more reliable than the one in that clip. However she also stated that of the four screens in front of her only one was a touchscreen and when she wanted the others to change she would hit a button on the touchscreen to change whatever other screen. So while I have no proof, given the choreographed nature of the clip I think it's possible that someone was meant to hit a button somewhere and missed their cue. Edit: The demonstration my mom worked on was a destroyer's command system, not a submarine. In the demonstration an enemy submarine is targeted, hence my confusion.
that touchscreen probably cost like $10,000 along with apple's most expensive workstation to power it. and it was not more "reliable" alright......and u telling me ur mom is watching a youtube video about a t14 armata by some guy named lazer pig with you? lmao....jesus did u grow up in the 00s or 90s and witness the kind of technology we had back then? i remember my hp external cd writer had a read/write speed of 2x or about 700kb/s.....mind u that is still godlike compared to the internet speeds back then......dialup was about 5kb/s and adsl 30kb/s.writing 700mb of info onto a cd literally took 45 mins. today u could take any samsung galaxy tab s and slap it in a tank and it would work better than any touchscreen in history. in fact i wonder why dont the russian army just jury rigged a bunch of samsung tab and use it as a console
Because FPV drones can easily kill both 60 year old and modern tanks, I think they're not taking any risks since they're so dangerous and no one thought about small drones seriously in modern warfare
@@feartheamish9183 Bro y'all just don't think why would they send expensive and unproven t-14s when they already have less expensive and more combat proven tanks like the t-90? Using t14s would also need crews to be retrained. Just think about it is the US sending M1A2s to ukraine? There's no need to send them since the older ones are doing perfectly fine. Same goes for russia.
@@dmvsye While the T-90 and other T-series units of tanks, there is no doubt that in a one-on-one confrontation with a modern tank - say the Israeli Merkaba or the German Leopard 2 - the modern tank will emerge victorious in such a battle. The United States does not truly need to send tanks to the conflict in question, however that isn't to say they don't need to send aiding firepower to Ukraine. However, should the United States send any variation of the Abrams tank, it would surely trample any Russian force if Ukrainian tank crews are properly trained and the vehicles are granted full logistical support. Although this itself is not without risks; the United States has sent almost entirely defensive aid; tanks, specifically main battle tanks such as the Abrams, are primarily offensive weapons, and thus should never be donated unless the fall of Ukraine is on the line, and by proxy, Eastern Europe.
@@dmvsye The US sending M1A1s instead of A2s was because they didn't have any A2's ready to go since the US still uses that model. So they just took some A1s they had in storage, stripped the DU armor out of them, touched them up and sent them over. But they wouldn't do this for their own soldiers because there's no point when you have better everything in the A2. The *only* reason T-14s have never seen combat is because it would be too embarrassing for Russia to lose one since their culture and government is based around saving face. The US is still planning on sending A2s as well but the A1s were meant to hold them over.
It's got a gear that drives the tank forward when the turret rotates. This allows a tank to reuse electricity that would otherwise be wasted, which improves fuel economy." -pg. 463 "An extremely reliable history of post sovit environmental law and regulation", A Dude Who Oughta be Trusted, 2017
if it spins fast enough once the autoloader gets blown up, the turret will fly into the air like a helicopter rotor, making for extra artillery as the decapitated turret flies towards the enemy. truly russian engineering is decades ahead
Yep, why do tanks even have that feature...) Western commies must quickly "progress" to motionless turrets, like some nordic swedish "tanks".) No autoloader is also fine, grunts can do that.)))
It's funny how the T-14 is praised for being a 'modular' design that can be used to build a whole fleet of vehicles when the F-35 was ruthlessly shat on for the exact same reason.
Despite the level of modularity being much less, primarily breaking down to engine variations and mission specific weapon loadouts and (I'm not sure, but wouldn't surprise me) software packages.

Fun Fact: The phone on the back of the tank is something the _Japanese_ came up with _in the 1930s._ The Type 95 Ha-Go, also known as the world's most kawaii armored vehicle, had one. It was an intercom for troops following along behind to talk to the tank crew, for those curious. Correction: I have been informed this feature actually dates all the way back to the British Mark I tank!
The phone is something most tankers rip out to discourage infantry from standing next to a 40+ ton machine with poor visibility that might move at a moments notice.
@abradabk this video pre-dates that engagement. However he stated that it's a tactic Bradley crews are trained for. Thus if you know where the optics are, which crews are typically taught anyways, you'll know what to do.

@icezinho_Desperate and childish cope of the lowest quality. But sure, the Bradleys didn't "destroy" the T-90M, they merely mauled it to a point that it could not fight back, had no idea what was going on and then fled in a panic until it hit a tree, got stuck and the crew bailed out with soiled pants. The Bradleys didn't "kill" the T-90M, they merely rendered it useless, defenseless and ultimately _harmless._ Point still stands: Bradleys took the field and won, T-90M sucks ass, russia is a fascist shithole and you're a fool for defending it.
@icezinho_ The Bradleys rendered the T90 combat ineffective, blind and stuck. That's a win for the Bradleys, however you slice it. On a battlefield disabled is as good as destroyed it the enemy cannot retrieve the asset.
@icezinho_ and? It was disabled before it was destroyed, it was rendered combat ineffective by the Bradleys. No matter how you slice it disabling the tank is a win for the Bradleys, it was blind and stuck before the drone finished it off, a blind and stuck tank can't fight. The Bradleys caused that, that's a win for the Bradley.
@icezinho_ Like can you not read or something? I didn't claim the Bradleys 'destroyed' the T90, disabling an opponent's asset in combat is just as good as a kill, potentially even better if it can be captured.

The Abrams X program budget has thus far amounted to around $650 million, but that's not just an upgrade package but also functions as R&D for America's future tanks and other armored vehicles since it includes R&D for things like new autoloaders, better sensors and electronics including new augmented reality displays, better active defense systems, and a new cannon and those cannons can often be used for other vehicles (the original Abrams cannon was used on a handful of American, Israeli, South Korean, Turkish, Taiwanese, Egyptian, and even Soviet and Iranian tanks). Tanks are infamously expensive to research and develop which is why Russia hasnt developed a new real tank since the T-90 and why many countries, even ones with modern equipment, often use the same basic tank for 30+ years and just make upgrade packages.
According to western 'experts' if a vehicle drive 'breaks down' (even though it didn't), suffers from delays in serial production and some software bugs persist it is a shit and useless tank. There are tanks that have been stuck between the development phase and production phase for much much longer than T-14 despite being far less revolutionary, such as the Turkish Altay tank.
The “hard to judge speed” thing is so true. Being an American, I live near train tracks. I like to watch the trains go by sometimes. If you stand on the station platform as a freight train goes by, it looks to be moving insanely fast, easily highway speed. And yet the speed limit for that section is 40mph for freight trains, and they do more like 38 mph there because they’re climbing a noticeable hill.
When the Intercity 125s go through a train station they don't stop at here in the UK it sure seems like there's going 125mph. And it's engines are LOUD
My local freight track was upgraded for Brightline (78mph speed limit) and the freight train is allowed to go 60 mph now. The fastest I've clocked them at was 48 in the middle of the night. Even then that was scary fast for a mile long freight train.
I also feel like I notice it in War Thunder sometimes, occasionally I'll be like "wow I'm going so fast right now" and then I'll look at my speed and it's like 58 km/h, slower than a car on a highway and a speed I have managed to reach on a stationary bike. We just tend to judge speed by how many noticeable objects go by per second and on a road that's not a lot since they're roads and flats but since tanks drive on rugged terrains there'll be many noticeable terrain features and objects going by per second, plus dirt and snow being kicked up. And y'know humans don't come equipped from natures side with the ability to judge speeds much in excess of like 20 km/h since that's the absolute fastest we might reach. Anything above that just registers as fast to us, and especially if it's a big object because then it's more dangerous.
Abrams' nickname "the whipsering death" was not a joke. Turbine is actually very quiet due to its high frequency noise profile. Yes, it sounds REALLY loud up close, but because it's a high pitch whine the noise quickly fade away at distance and is easily mistaken for wind. So you get a tank noise profile that just went from "faint whipsering in the air" to "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT BANSHEE SCREAM!?" when it gets to a range that it can probably run you over in 3 more seconds.

@@Gearhead221 apparently those T-55's were in well preserved condition ie they're operable and can be shipped now.

@@AkaSora96 Getting called on a bluff is one thing, but exposing your own BS to the entire world is next level incompetence. The US notably had a seaborne nuclear deterrent that in its first iteration (Polaris A1) had serious reliability issues with both the rocket and its warhead - only 2 of the 16 warheads carried by each sub were likely to reach their targets and then explode, but they weren't stupid enough to tell the world! They kept it under wraps while the problems got fixed, but that's the other key point - they actually fixed those issues because the money to fund the work went into the hands of engineers and wasn't stolen by the top brass.
@@AkaSora96 indeed. Don't worry though, 10 years after their humiliating performance in ukraine leaves the daily news millions will get online to proclaim "Russia strong". Some people never learn.
Night Time in WW3 Abrahms Crewman: "Excuse me Sir? Can we change our thermal signature to Lada again?" Abrahms Commander: "Yeah, do it. That shit's hilarious." Tankski Commandovitch: "Why is that Lada doing 40 across a field?"
A small addition to the engineer tanks based on tank chassis: they must be able to pull tanks. In order to be able to pull heavy weights, the pulling vehicle usually has to be heavy as well, so it is a necessity to use a heavy chassis.
I note that arvs, sometimes come under direct fire when recovering vehicles. But almost always have extended hull length, as stability for the rotator winches, and crane. Modern ARV'S have to be big, for the gear, and for stability when manipulating a damaged tank.
The brain drain issue really interests me. Russia regularly produces engineers, physicists, chemists, etc that can compete with those raised in America. And they do compete. But they do so from within America's borders instead of Russia's. Because their best and brightest are smart enough to see through the propaganda telling them that because they're Russian, they must be fine with living in poverty because they're arbitrarily tougher or something.
And now, my top 5 Armata turret spinning jokes. 1. I guess T-14 crews are fans of Dead Or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round'. 2. Oh great, Ivan got plastered on vodka and is sleeping off his hangover on the turret control again. 3. "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my barrel!"- Armata tank commander, probably. 4. The turret on the Armata goes round and round. Round and round. Round and round. The turret on the Armata goes round and round. All through the town. 5. "Look, if we break the turret ring on this thing, maybe Putin won't send us to die in Ukraine!"
A couple days after you, someone commented "It is said that Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the design documents of the T-14, causing the turret to forever spin."
I don't think Clarkson would fit in that tank, but even if he did, he would go "The sheer speed and accuracy of my genius makes the thing move, it doesn't matter the engine is unreliable" and then tries to fire at something which prompts the tank to explode killing everyone in a 200 meter radius.
2021: Russia is claimed to be the second best military in the world. 2023: Russia is the second best military in Russia (edit - 2023: Russia has the third best military in Russia)
@@MrMate2Mate yeah but he didn't say Ukraine he said "second best military in Russia" referring to the Russian Legion of Freedom as the better military in Russian territory
They said that "its not worth to produce because it relies on western imports and t90s are sufficient for now" which is scratching only the surface of all the problems with the tank 😂
Uhh it actually has inbuilt radar system in its turret being able to track football sized objects up to 2000km away, lock on and shoot a ground to air missiles (bet you didn't know besides anti tank missiles it can also fire anti aircraft ones from its main gun hehe) out of its gun flying at mach 50, the spinning is this advanced piece of supreme tech being on air defense mode
_"Helicopter Helicopter"_ I think the Armata is just jealous of the other older tanks because they can launch their turrets hundreds of feet into the air so it's trying to spin its turret as fast as it can to launch its turret up like a chopper, lol!
maybe if Russia shut down its entire military they MIGHT be able to give their country the miracle of indoor plumbing. American schools could be better but they are still better than oh says Russian/China/India/N.Korea etc so on.
This reminded me of two stories that highlights the differences between Russia and the West. The first is when a guy moved to Russia and asked a Russian friend of his for advice on buying a “good quality” washing machine. His friend told him which one to buy and the washing machine almost immediately broke down and stopped working. The man called up his friend and asked why he’d recommended that particular model given how quickly it broke? His friend responded “because they’re really easy to fix.” The second is about how in the 50s an idea was floated about nuclear powered aircraft. A monstrously stupid idea but the thinking was for a long range bomber that essentially would never have to land and could be on station for much longer periods of time as a deterrent. The Americans conducted feasibility studies by putting a small nuclear reactor on board a B36 Peacemaker. But the idea never really worked because the amount of shielding required to protect the crew was prohibitively heavy. So they were pretty shocked to discover that the Russians were doing just that. How did they solve the shielding problem? Simple, they didn’t.
@@xanmontes8715Yeah especially after watching History of Everything’s new video on that Soviet nuclear sub (I think the video is just called “The Russian Navy Sucks Part 4”)
Lemme guess, you never heard about nuclear propelled missles. Can go over the globe a few times. Still need to land as usual. A bit dirty, yes, but their payload pollutes a bit more than their engine.
So, easy to fx tech is bad, because?) Murica can't even make apropriate fuselage for it's drones, among other trailer parks.) But yeah, when you live in a pod serviceable machinery is bad for muh reputation.)))) That's a cute little fairy tale about soviet ufos, considering muricans used to eat polonium in the 50s.)) Now as for ridiculous ideas - do tell that to the absolute waste of space you call abrams that heavy tanks died out in post Cold War.)
Hey! syrian here, there *was* actually two T14's supposedly dropped off here to our military, but as luck would have it one immediately got blown up to bits in Al Raqqah against what id only assume was a bunch of terrorists with vietnam era RPG 7's, and the other is stationed in Halab, but hey, thats just info from an insider!
And you would have footage of that ohh wait red effect made a video about this rumor and debunked it. Because it makes perfect sense for the russians to test their own tank which is in pre production state in another country, cause they dont have a testing ground apperantly.
@@Silver_Prussiannot everyone is going around with a camera recording every little thing + 1 singular guy saying "it's fake" doesn't mean he is right + the russians have a tendency to test their new vehicles right away in the nearest battlefield. It could be entirely possible that yes, some dudes with RPG-7s took out a T-14, it could be fake as well. But i'm gonna take the word of the syrian guy here.
I wish some hooligan would just build the AeroGavin just to see if it was possible. Like I imagine it definitely isn't, but it'd be pretty silly anyway.
About that T14 spinning in every shot: its very likley they did this to cover the lack of gun stabilisation. The turret spins in almost all shots of the tank moving through rough terrain. All other tank promotional videos use offroading to showcase stabilisation. Armata has the gun locked in salute and spins... prettey sure they didnt properly integrate a good stabi system yet.

The T-14 has a top secret weapon…..when hit with a shell, it will be able to launch its turret into orbit, we beat you Americans in the space race’ Now we will do it again! We will have The first turret to land on the moon.
The M1A2 Abrams will never achieve that’ the M1A2 Abrams can only run over mines with little to no damage.
Not impressed….Comrade Pooptin is a stable genius.
We also upgraded the T-72 with a Kamikaze feature. We run them into the enemy tank….before it Spontaneously combust.
It also can launch a Turret at the enemy….they fly high.
Fun fact about the M1 Abrams, it's governed to 45 MPH. If the treads were able to withstand the punishment, the engine could propel the tank up to speeds to 62 MPH.
That is terrifying

The "Smekalka" part of this video reminds me of the anecdote about the "Russian Space Pen", where, upon discovering that regular ballpoint pens cannot write in zero gravity, the Americans spent millions of dollars developing a pen that can write in zero G, upside-down, underwater, etc... and the Russians gave their cosmonauts pencils.
It's a story so old and tired that even its rebuttal has become cliche: *both* the Russians and the Americans had tried using pencils, the Americans replaced them with "space pens" because they didn't want graphite dust getting into the electronics and fucking them up... and the Russians ended up buying the American space pens as well.
That true ??
@@trevorgough2286 the story? as someone whose first language is russian i've heard it a lot

Swap gun barrel for pair of rotor blades and you have first helicopter/MBT hybrid. Genius design.

Air conditioners in a tank are a waste of time. There is simply too much thermal radiation coming off the hull. In summer in the desert - no air conditioner can keep up with the heat radiating of the armor into the tank. A far more effective solution is to have the crewmembers wear vests that have cool air flowing through them. (Cool the person, not 10-20 tons of steel.)
Yes.
Ac is a waste…the T-14 has a blowout sun roof, when hit, the turret flys high.

Meanwhile that German one is extreamly reliable and its design started work in 2004. Through those 20 or so years, they made it cheaper, more reliable, built for every combat situation, and even has a combat record from 2012 that is pretty good considering that was a prototype in a shitty situation: urban warfare.

A little more context about the "touchscreens" at 8:12. Back in the early 2000s my mom worked on a proof of concept demonstration of a future submarine command system. In doing so she got to use a touchscreen. She said that the touchscreen that she used during the demonstration was more reliable than the one in that clip. However she also stated that of the four screens in front of her only one was a touchscreen and when she wanted the others to change she would hit a button on the touchscreen to change whatever other screen. So while I have no proof, given the choreographed nature of the clip I think it's possible that someone was meant to hit a button somewhere and missed their cue.
Edit: The demonstration my mom worked on was a destroyer's command system, not a submarine. In the demonstration an enemy submarine is targeted, hence my confusion.

@@feartheamish9183 Bro y'all just don't think why would they send expensive and unproven t-14s when they already have less expensive and more combat proven tanks like the t-90? Using t14s would also need crews to be retrained. Just think about it is the US sending M1A2s to ukraine? There's no need to send them since the older ones are doing perfectly fine. Same goes for russia.
@@dmvsye While the T-90 and other T-series units of tanks, there is no doubt that in a one-on-one confrontation with a modern tank - say the Israeli Merkaba or the German Leopard 2 - the modern tank will emerge victorious in such a battle. The United States does not truly need to send tanks to the conflict in question, however that isn't to say they don't need to send aiding firepower to Ukraine.
However, should the United States send any variation of the Abrams tank, it would surely trample any Russian force if Ukrainian tank crews are properly trained and the vehicles are granted full logistical support. Although this itself is not without risks; the United States has sent almost entirely defensive aid; tanks, specifically main battle tanks such as the Abrams, are primarily offensive weapons, and thus should never be donated unless the fall of Ukraine is on the line, and by proxy, Eastern Europe.
@@dmvsye The US sending M1A1s instead of A2s was because they didn't have any A2's ready to go since the US still uses that model. So they just took some A1s they had in storage, stripped the DU armor out of them, touched them up and sent them over. But they wouldn't do this for their own soldiers because there's no point when you have better everything in the A2. The *only* reason T-14s have never seen combat is because it would be too embarrassing for Russia to lose one since their culture and government is based around saving face. The US is still planning on sending A2s as well but the A1s were meant to hold them over.
I can't believe Russia built a tank that needs to rotate its turret constantly in order to move.
It's got a gear that drives the tank forward when the turret rotates. This allows a tank to reuse electricity that would otherwise be wasted, which improves fuel economy."

It’s like it needs to be handcranked in order to move.
It's kinda half tank half helicopter
its wind-up operated, you have to spin the turret back the other way to go again
The turret spinning is what turns the engine and powers the tracks
Say what you want about the T-14, that bastard can pointlessly spin it’s turret in promotional material like nothing else
if it spins fast enough once the autoloader gets blown up, the turret will fly into the air like a helicopter rotor, making for extra artillery as the decapitated turret flies towards the enemy. truly russian engineering is decades ahead

@icezinho_ The Bradleys rendered the T90 combat ineffective, blind and stuck. That's a win for the Bradleys, however you slice it. On a battlefield disabled is as good as destroyed it the enemy cannot retrieve the asset.
@icezinho_ and? It was disabled before it was destroyed, it was rendered combat ineffective by the Bradleys. No matter how you slice it disabling the tank is a win for the Bradleys, it was blind and stuck before the drone finished it off, a blind and stuck tank can't fight. The Bradleys caused that, that's a win for the Bradley.

The Abrams X program budget has thus far amounted to around $650 million, but that's not just an upgrade package but also functions as R&D for America's future tanks and other armored vehicles since it includes R&D for things like new autoloaders, better sensors and electronics including new augmented reality displays, better active defense systems, and a new cannon and those cannons can often be used for other vehicles (the original Abrams cannon was used on a handful of American, Israeli, South Korean, Turkish, Taiwanese, Egyptian, and even Soviet and Iranian tanks). Tanks are infamously expensive to research and develop which is why Russia hasnt developed a new real tank since the T-90 and why many countries, even ones with modern equipment, often use the same basic tank for 30+ years and just make upgrade packages.

The “hard to judge speed” thing is so true. Being an American, I live near train tracks. I like to watch the trains go by sometimes. If you stand on the station platform as a freight train goes by, it looks to be moving insanely fast, easily highway speed. And yet the speed limit for that section is 40mph for freight trains, and they do more like 38 mph there because they’re climbing a noticeable hill.
When the Intercity 125s go through a train station they don't stop at here in the UK it sure seems like there's going 125mph.
And it's engines are LOUD
@@MostlyPennyCat One of my favourite things to observe, that is. You can feel it with almost every sense and it’s awesome.
My local freight track was upgraded for Brightline (78mph speed limit) and the freight train is allowed to go 60 mph now. The fastest I've clocked them at was 48 in the middle of the night. Even then that was scary fast for a mile long freight train.
I also feel like I notice it in War Thunder sometimes, occasionally I'll be like "wow I'm going so fast right now" and then I'll look at my speed and it's like 58 km/h, slower than a car on a highway and a speed I have managed to reach on a stationary bike. We just tend to judge speed by how many noticeable objects go by per second and on a road that's not a lot since they're roads and flats but since tanks drive on rugged terrains there'll be many noticeable terrain features and objects going by per second, plus dirt and snow being kicked up.
And y'know humans don't come equipped from natures side with the ability to judge speeds much in excess of like 20 km/h since that's the absolute fastest we might reach. Anything above that just registers as fast to us, and especially if it's a big object because then it's more dangerous.

Turbine is actually very quiet due to its high frequency noise profile. Yes, it sounds REALLY loud up close, but because it's a high pitch whine the noise quickly fade away at distance and is easily mistaken for wind.

Maybe this is just a gamer moment but my initial reaction was "what the hell is the Taken King doing in open source intelligence"
Challenger literally about to once again faceroll the soviet junk it was designed to fight because Russia has no modern tanks.
WHAT.
That's pure desperation.
@@Gearhead221 apparently those T-55's were in well preserved condition ie they're operable and can be shipped now. Which means that several thousands of T-72's Russia claimed to have at its disposal at moments notice aren't in any way, shape or form vehicles as much as part of landscape by now. They will slowly reassemble them in a rate of 10-100 husks to single tank(idk if copper wires survived local alcoholic prapors😅), but it'll take them years.
I love the jab at the Abrams, Leo and Merkava. "They don't have autoloader so they're behind us"
The Japanese with a 3 second autoloader in the Type 90 and Type 10, both made before the T-14:
I searched for almost an hour and couldn't find a single source with proof that t14's reload speed is 10s, do you or this pig have any source or are you just making things up?
@@stranger6797 Then what do the russian sources say is the loading speed?
@@royalhydra9790 Russia claims 10 to 12 rounds a minute, which means a reload speed of 5 or 6 seconds. Because Russian technical claims are often heavily exaggerated for propaganda, the T14’s actual reloading speed is likely a lot slower then that.
@@liambooker8602
5-6 seconds wouldn't be out of the ordinary for a modern autoloader handling such large rounds. In any case that's a good enough rate of fire.
@@ThatZenoGuy Yeah but top rate US teams can do it in 2-3 seconds so they're putting more down range in the same time.
The T14 turret actually blows up into the air higher than the T72 which is awesome.
so you are saying there is progress? See silly westoids?! New T-14 better!
Better tank, turret fly to space!

@@AkaSora96 Getting called on a bluff is one thing, but exposing your own BS to the entire world is next level incompetence. The US notably had a seaborne nuclear deterrent that in its first iteration (Polaris A1) had serious reliability issues with both the rocket and its warhead - only 2 of the 16 warheads carried by each sub were likely to reach their targets and then explode, but they weren't stupid enough to tell the world! They kept it under wraps while the problems got fixed, but that's the other key point - they actually fixed those issues because the money to fund the work went into the hands of engineers and wasn't stolen by the top brass.

@@nikivanov1833 Hardbass to be exact.
A small addition to the engineer tanks based on tank chassis: they must be able to pull tanks. In order to be able to pull heavy weights, the pulling vehicle usually has to be heavy as well, so it is a necessity to use a heavy chassis.
agreed. The recovery vehicles may be the only ones that require the actual tank chassis
Everything else? Nope
Usually a recovery vehicle does that. In the US these belong to unit maintenance, not the engineers.
@@ricardokowalski1579 Other tanks maybe.
I note that arvs, sometimes come under direct fire when recovering vehicles. But almost always have extended hull length, as stability for the rotator winches, and crane. Modern ARV'S have to be big, for the gear, and for stability when manipulating a damaged tank.
ya that confused me because in the US recovery vehicles are owned by the mechanics. Our ARVs are different than the Engineering vehicles.
Little known fact, the turret acts as a windup key for the spring that actually propels the tank.
And it plays a little ballerina song
"Dudu dudu Durudududu duda duda, duda, duuu"

The brain drain issue really interests me. Russia regularly produces engineers, physicists, chemists, etc that can compete with those raised in America. And they do compete. But they do so from within America's borders instead of Russia's. Because their best and brightest are smart enough to see through the propaganda telling them that because they're Russian, they must be fine with living in poverty because they're arbitrarily tougher or something.
It's been going on since the 1920ies.
They have had a brain drain for over a century now lmao
And now, my top 5 Armata turret spinning jokes.
1. I guess T-14 crews are fans of Dead Or Alive's 'You Spin Me Round'.
2. Oh great, Ivan got plastered on vodka and is sleeping off his hangover on the turret control again.
3. "Drive me closer, I want to hit them with my barrel!"- Armata tank commander, probably.
4. The turret on the Armata goes round and round. Round and round. Round and round. The turret on the Armata goes round and round. All through the town.
5. "Look, if we break the turret ring on this thing, maybe Putin won't send us to die in Ukraine!"
A couple days after you, someone commented
"It is said that Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the design documents of the T-14, causing the turret to forever spin."
Is controller drift.
100% for effort
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually they were trying out the VTOL system on that model but it failed too 🤣
I somehow feel this is the tank that Hammond, Clarkson and May would make if they had a weekend and a bad engine.
And it would somehow work
"Tonight on Combat Approved: We make the best tank... in the WORLD"
Yeah, that fits.
I don't think Clarkson would fit in that tank, but even if he did, he would go "The sheer speed and accuracy of my genius makes the thing move, it doesn't matter the engine is unreliable" and then tries to fire at something which prompts the tank to explode killing everyone in a 200 meter radius.
This is totally how it would go. Great comment.
That's completely untrue; they have access to much better electronics than the Russians
2021: Russia is claimed to be the second best military in the world.

They said that "its not worth to produce because it relies on western imports and t90s are sufficient for now" which is scratching only the surface of all the problems with the tank 😂
The amount of time the T-14 spends in these clips rotating its turret is hilarious.
Almost like the turret aiming program is glitched.
Uhh it actually has inbuilt radar system in its turret being able to track football sized objects up to 2000km away, lock on and shoot a ground to air missiles (bet you didn't know besides anti tank missiles it can also fire anti aircraft ones from its main gun hehe) out of its gun flying at mach 50, the spinning is this advanced piece of supreme tech being on air defense mode
They can't find the switch to turn it off!
_"Helicopter Helicopter"_ I think the Armata is just jealous of the other older tanks because they can launch their turrets hundreds of feet into the air so it's trying to spin its turret as fast as it can to launch its turret up like a chopper, lol!
It is simply ready to curve its shots at all times.
"It's just a demonstration of what could be done if we just shut down a few schools and gave the money to general dynamics instead" 🤣🤣
I disagree-American schools aren't well-funded enough for that. You'd need to shut down a couple dozen.
@@koboldparty4708 maybe a districts worth, also hello fellow kobold
maybe if Russia shut down its entire military they MIGHT be able to give their country the miracle of indoor plumbing. American schools could be better but they are still better than oh says Russian/China/India/N.Korea etc so on.
Don't tempt the department of defense.
@@koboldparty4708 What are you talking about? American schools receive a higher budget than Japanese schools. They're just terrible quality.
This reminded me of two stories that highlights the differences between Russia and the West.
The first is when a guy moved to Russia and asked a Russian friend of his for advice on buying a “good quality” washing machine. His friend told him which one to buy and the washing machine almost immediately broke down and stopped working. The man called up his friend and asked why he’d recommended that particular model given how quickly it broke? His friend responded “because they’re really easy to fix.”
The second is about how in the 50s an idea was floated about nuclear powered aircraft. A monstrously stupid idea but the thinking was for a long range bomber that essentially would never have to land and could be on station for much longer periods of time as a deterrent. The Americans conducted feasibility studies by putting a small nuclear reactor on board a B36 Peacemaker. But the idea never really worked because the amount of shielding required to protect the crew was prohibitively heavy. So they were pretty shocked to discover that the Russians were doing just that. How did they solve the shielding problem? Simple, they didn’t.
I think I'm going to be sick...
@@xanmontes8715Yeah especially after watching History of Everything’s new video on that Soviet nuclear sub (I think the video is just called “The Russian Navy Sucks Part 4”)
They could have done it easily by making the shields smaller and just for the crew. Put the crew in a thinner section in front
Lemme guess, you never heard about nuclear propelled missles. Can go over the globe a few times. Still need to land as usual. A bit dirty, yes, but their payload pollutes a bit more than their engine.
So, easy to fx tech is bad, because?)
Murica can't even make apropriate fuselage for it's drones, among other trailer parks.)

About that T14 spinning in every shot: its very likley they did this to cover the lack of gun stabilisation. The turret spins in almost all shots of the tank moving through rough terrain. All other tank promotional videos use offroading to showcase stabilisation. Armata has the gun locked in salute and spins... prettey sure they didnt properly integrate a good stabi system yet.
