How M88 Hercules Vehicles Will Keep Abrams Tanks Out of Russia’s Grip

- The M88 was eventually updated to the M88A1 standard, which included a more powerful Continental AVDS-1790-2DR diesel engine with an output of 750 horsepower. The M88A1 could tow up to 56 tons and lift 25 tons. However, as an upgraded version of the Army’s Abrams tank entered service in the mid-1980s, the service realized it had a problem: the new version was a heavy lift for even the mighty Hercules.

The first upgrade was called the M88A1.
I deployed on one of these beasts.
I was an Abrams Mech. (Peacetime, though): Operated the old M-88
An awful lot of missprounciation in the video. Could this be a computer generated narration?
Great because now the Ukraine farmers tractors don't have to take the abandoned or damaged Russian tanks with them but this beast M88 Hercules can do this, and to be honest - much better.
Thats why they build these tanks from scratch and remove everything that cant be allowed to fall into Russian hands.ö
The US Army always calls a spade, a spade.
Without efficient jets to defend helicopters and tanks then Abrams will be vulnerable
Ukraine need app 20 jets with Meteor missiles to deter the Russian Migs
Ukraine have only app 30 km range for air to air missiles --- meteor reach 100 km and they will hit
Gripen would be the most economical solution because it designed to start and land on roads !
They can be serviced by 2 trucks by 4 to 5 people in 10 minutes !
F16s would do the same job with much more difficulty
Ukraine has shown they are clever at combining the weapons they have got in an efficient way
They need all the instruments in the orchestra
Metric for 96% of the world?
Both the Army and Marines need a tank recovery vehicle based on the M1A2C/D Abrams cause the M88 Hercules is based on the Patton Tank...that's freaking old!
The marine corps doesn't have tanks anymore
green plastic helmets at least they could have made them camouflage.
I'm sure we left enough stuff in Afghanistan for everyone (Russia and China) to buy. So why worry about it now.
Really it's stupid i mean if the Russian want to get Abrams tanks they could buying it from Egypt those Hercules m88 are just extra targets
Egyptian Abrams are totally different from American one
@@abukhan2145 yeah little bit but nay it's American Tanks after all at least 60% from the American features still exist in Egyptian Abrams 60% is all what the Russian need to figure out how to deal with them and to made the perfect respond on it
@@abukhan2145 yeah the tungsten
Russia is the leader of industrial uranium so it's got no secrets except the way in which the DU is woven into those plates
@@abukhan2145 You'd be fooling yourself if you thought the Russians haven't gotten a look at those. Russian engineers know how to make a tank, it is the computer components and fire control systems that they'd like to look at and copy or counter. The Russians may want to get one just to confirm what version they are fighting but it would make little difference.
Let's see 🤣
Don't worry, they won't be necessary the Abrams will literally wipe the floor with the unfortunate t-72s
So it will help Abrams that get stuck in mud due to their weight while still having the same weight problem? Yeah right.
ANY tank will get stuck in the mud, nimrod. Any tracked vehicle period is vulnerable to that. Weight notwithstanding.
@@MrBaden77 Weight and high PSI is what causes the vehicle to sink into the mud. So weight DOES matter, especially because Ukraine's ARVs aren't rated to tow 60 tons.
Så nå vil Russland få Hercules også 🤣🤣
What a delusional world you live in. Russia isn't getting anything. But Ukraine is getting a lot of Russia's junk.
@@MrBaden77 Alt som sendes der er det stor sjanse for at russerne får tak i. Så drøm videre tulling 😁
@@gravitylaw2006 Pathetic third world Russia has no power to capture anything. As proven by Ukraine.
They probably have access to museums in Viet-Nam. Besides they have the Kharkovchanka
Isn't Russia confiscating most of the US armaments and then returning them all to us disabled?
So why would they decide to keep a carcass unless our electronics are way ahead of theirs which I highly doubt
They'd NEVER return any weapon, they leave their own stuff on the battlefield. How exactly are they getting American weapons off the battlefield if they can't even get their own stuff off the field?
Use your brain before you post.
@@authoritariangentleman7570 hey clownboy, it was in the news that Russia was confiscating NATO weapons, disabling them and sending them back
Suck on that one
it did not get return, the Russian show case it in patriot arms fair in Russia. I think if you search it in youtube you might still find it.
@@thomasgellos1732 You're so stupid, a prime example of the sheeple.
Edit: taking a spent launcher is not the same as taking a vehicle, moron. Your stupidity astounds me.
Are you mentally disabled?
Imagine an Abrams company, with Russian Z markings, rolling into Kiev and finally taking out Zelensky... that would be ultimate victory for Russia. Not possible but crazy if it did happen.
Damn this is some insane cope dreamery going on here
@@atilamotila8907 No no no, it can never happen, I wouldn't want it to happen. I don't even think Russia could move a 70t tank and repair it.
Just think about how crazy it would be. What would we do?
Insane things are fun to think about.
Pretty sad that all the modern military content is full of Ukrainian and Russian propaganda. Cannot watch a military vehicle video without it being filled with propaganda which just makes it pretty sad so that people cannot speak about something military without mentioning Ukraine and operation
my dude, they will build these new abram tanks with 80's technology armor lol, and they havent even built them yet, by the time they are built and sent over ukraine the war will be over, let alone have to train the ukrainians for 6 months. Seriously what the hell are these people smoking now and days. 8 m88's and a few abrams that havent even been built and stripped of their modern day armor only to be replaced with armor tech from the 80's and yall think ukraine has a chance??????????? My Goodness, imagine people who believe all of this nonsense an vote and have a say in society .......
Ukraine was already holding off russia with soviet equipment.
@@adrianalexander7516 with forces outnumbering Russia 1 to 10 and the Ukrainians still sustaining massive casualties, as well as Russia not launching full scale attacks. If this was any other country besides Ukraine this war would have been done. As well as being resourceful and utilizing their older technology first and slowly implementing into the battlefield newer technology once realizing Ukraine is being fully funded and backed by the west.
Kino
@@spencermuthoka4994 you are correct, this is all theater for the west. the war was already over a long time ago.
Confidence is good but over confident is not good
US should think twice before giving adrams to ukraine
Danish my boi, they are building those abrams with 80s technology just to rip off ukrainians. They know the war is hopeless for the ukrainians and the US is profiting off of it.
To be honest I would give Ukraine everything their asking for including f-16's
Just looking for a people with common sense and you know what your commented a year ago were right,,this year the abrams tank were displayed with others captured western tanks in moscow ,,you were right america shouldnt gave the abrams to Ukraine in the first place
Soon to be scrap metal
I think not Russians are already running out resources and their troops are giving up and do not want to fight their neighbors. Putin and his government are about to get handed on a silver platter
Congratulation to Biden and his team of sending or money's to Ukraine and all we hear or social security is ranig out of money . We should talk care of the American peoples first then if we have extra money's then we well help the others but it dos not seem like it we help the other first then if some money's left and they decide to help the American they well do it ?????
Don't send current Western MBT's to Ukraine if you don't want Russia (China , Iran) capturing them and copying/studying them. These M88's are more for just recovering tanks after they break down due to minor technical issues.
Why copy when they have 10x better.
@Montea 1942 russian tanks wouldn't even compare. The only thing that would stand a chance is t-14 which is not even into production yet
@@adrianalexander7516 We can't say , the only time the Abrams faced off with current Soviet tanks was in Iraq. And this did not go well for the Iraqi T-72's.
50 years ago 1970's Western MBT's were designed to defeat 10 Soviet tanks for 1 Abrams. But this was 50 years ago. The Ukrainians very much love these tanks and lust after them and they have the most modern Soviet designs. The Ukrainian defense minister wants to drive his Leopard 2 to Moscow.
Stop giving those people our equipment! We are making a huge mistake draining our forces for Ukraine!
Stop Stop Stop Stop Stop giving Ukraine our weapons!!!!!
It's all good, but U.S. have 5500 Abrams tanks in total, so why only 33??? They could sell or give 100 yeasy. But I'm positive that Ukraine is thankfull for all help U.S. provide. Becous it is a big problem with Leopard, Spain sad that they gonna send 40 tank's, in the the end they only gonna send 10. The same with othe coutry's, but U.S. is the only coutry who have there sh*t together. So why not send or sell 100 or 150 Abrams tanks? Abrams is THE BEST tank in the world and it is perfect for Ukrain.
M1s in Ukraine we're going to have a good laugh...🤣
They are not at all suitable for this theater of operation.
They are also obsolete!
The Zelensky and his Nazis will cry again.
Your reading the wrong news. And m1's are suitable for any conditions
@@adrianalexander7516
You are the one who believes your information too much.
If they ever arrive in Ukraine we will see.
Scrap metall 😂
Good luck
Russia will win this war
With what their people already hate putin. Riots everywhere, troops abandoning equipment. What news are you watching?
When america leaves Ukraine, Russia is going to have some new toys… just like the taliban do.
