- 🌍🚀 Russia's Military Might: Fact or Fiction? 🚀🌍
Russia boasts the world's second-largest army and an impressive arsenal, but the ongoing conflict in Ukraine tells a different story. Despite having a formidable array of tanks, artillery, and a powerful naval fleet, Russia struggles to secure a decisive victory over Ukraine. This discrepancy raises questions about the true effectiveness of Russian weapons. Are they as formidable as claimed, or is there a hidden frailty? Let's dive into the truth behind Russian military power!

It’s not just that they were lying about everything. They assumed that we were lying about our weapons too.
Well, we were. The US government and arms manufacturers have systemically understated or obscured the capabilities of many weapons to retain the element of surprise.
This shows who is thinking like a hegemon, and who thinks like a bully.
The soviets lied to there people about our weapons, they knew effective they were. They studied the effectiveness our weapons all through Korea and Vietnam wars but had to lie to the people to boost morale.
Well said
@@MrHodoAstartes That is an extremely important factor, indeed. While I am sure there are exceptions (there always is) defence is about shocking the attacker . At the same time, you also want to make the attacker reconsider first strike, usually by having an arsenal of WMDs. The rest in logistics, where the defender can respond much faster than what the attacker has calculated.

I thought their battlecarrier concept was scary as hell, until I saw they could barely keep one running.
Simple answer - corruption!
It's a lot more than that. Russia has been behind technologically since its inception. There was perhaps only one period in which Russia was close to on par, and this was the Napoleonic era.
@@samhutchison9582 Actually no, in the late 80s Russia took the lead in terms of technology, but the United States was able to launch donkeys loaded with gold, which undermined the USSR from within.
I will not idealize the USSR, there was more than that, the replacement of religion with communism, the transformation of communists into indestructible idols and the replacement of rationality with ideology...
We see all this today in the USA itself, when a professor is fired from an institute because she calls a woman a woman, and not a person with a vagina.

@@samhutchison9582 even at that time they were behind,only winter, distances and burning their own country saved them.
It's pretty famous many Russian have 100m - 500m yachts, your point is made
I remember at the beginning of the war when one of the first things Germany ever gave to Ukraine was a few thousand helmets. Everyone was mocking and insulting Germany. Looking back, at least the Ukrainians were given REAL HELMETS.
I still dont understand why people laughed. Protective gear is making the difference between a living and a dead soldier. Iam pretty sure the ukrainian soldiers that got the german equipment were gratefull
Real helmets didn’t save 600,000 Ukrainian troops
I think the Russians had WWII steel pots, formed into a modern looking helmet with foam and a fabric cover...

@@user-ft2bt9kw7x Russian air defence systems have utterly failed. Ask people who live in Belgorod. They do not have any actual hypersonic weapons, because you need scramjet technology and Russia doesn't have that.

Maybe you should have paid more attention in school, as decoys are a military standard around the world and have been for hundreds of years.
@@treehuggerdeluxe5598 Yeah - if used intentionally. But if ALL your weapons or a SUFFICIENT NUMBER of them are just decoys, then your fighting strength is MUCH weaker not only than you intend to project to your enemy but weaker than you need to win.
@@treehuggerdeluxe5598 you should pay more attention to reports from battle field. You are right, cardboard is excelent as decoys, but russians are using those "decoys" as main attack force.

About 15 years ago I worked with a Russian engineer in California. He told the company he worked for in Russia maintained military vehicles. A depot with 500 trucks that were supposed to be combat ready, when inspected the Commander would randomly point to a vehicle he new would start to show it worked. The further back vehicles would not work and many did not have motors.
You think things are different here lol
Вы в Америке плохо знаете как сильно преобразилась армия России за последнее 15 лет
@@SmokeNGunsBBQ Yes, they're very different.
@@SmokeNGunsBBQyes Russian bot they are. As much as you can say American defense procurement is corrupt and America overpays (which broadly speaking isn’t even that true it tends to be more due to trying to keep jobs in places at greater expense rather than just blatant overpaying) American stuff absolutely works. American soldiers don’t sell random parts of their vehicles they’re set to maintain, and they tell people who stuff is broken and it gets fixed. The simple fact is that American soldiers are pretty well paid, they have no reason to risk stealing stuff to sell it because they make enough money that it’s not worth it, and stuff is kept track of well enough they’d get caught if they did. America has some of the most guns per capita, and despite that you can’t really buy any stolen stuff from the military, even as minor as a gun or grenade or something, no matter how hard you try, meanwhile in Russia there’s been stories that the Russian mafia has literally offered foreign cartels nuclear subs. And clearly it’s still a problem, even just the beginning of the war Russia was running out of fuel because their soldiers would sell it all. Meanwhile American troops never runs out of fuel and abandon their Abrams I wonder why

It's not just the planes being shot down but the trained pilots which take a long time to re train
I don`t think they can retrain them, but train new pilots. But don`t take my word on it, I`m not on armyrologyst.
The Japanese and Germans can attest to this. You can build the best planes in the world, but if you don’t have any pilots………..
How terrible were US pilots in Viet Nam 5000 helicopters and 4000 airplanes were shot down by rice farmers. I see why the US gave up. Imagine if they went up similar armed nation
💯💯💯💯
All manned fighter and ground attack planes are obsolete. Pilots are obsolete. Haven’t you been watching the war? The days of manned war planes are over. Tanks are also obsolete. It doesn’t matter how well they are made.
I went to Russia in the early 1990s as part of a team who was checking how well the Nuclear Proliferation Pact was working after the dissolution of the USSR, and part of the tasks were to check on the efficiency of the nuclear warheads and we found that almost all the units we inspected at different sites had the same problem- The Tritium gas that ignites the Nuclear reaction was almost non-existant, so those weapons were essentially useless, and that happened due to the fact that each head needs to be checked by a 6-person team, and the tritium be replenished every 3 years according to the Russian protocols, and they didn't have the enough personnel to do the maintenance, nor the amounts of tritium needed to replace the inactive one. We reported that to the Department of Defense, and that helped to maintain the status quo, but increased the quality control of the US Arsenal.
Yes, our bureaucracy suffers from historic overconfidence on maintenance and storage issues.
So if this is still true, then it means if Russia nukes the USA then the warheads will be atomic but not thermonuclear.
Still really bad but could be much worse.
OK, so you were busy about 30 years ago....... back then, the former Soviet Union was on its knees and had absolutely nothing to do with the Russia of today. What about the durability of American nuclear weapons? Are there enough factories and skilled personnel to replace and maintain them? Why hasn't the glorious USA "democratized" such a weak Russia with all its completely outdated and ineffective weapons long ago? Why are you once again using foreign countries to fight the same old battle? And by the way: Russia doesn't want to wipe out Ukraine - they just want to secure the new Russian territories - a concept that is of course completely incomprehensible to the USA, as the history of "successful democratizations" in recent decades shows us...
This ain't the 90s and they have hypersonics. Remind us how bad fabs and khenzals are 😢😂
@@hellyrazr9459 Big dumb bombs, circa 1940's and 50's, with stuck on wings if I'm not mistaken. That'll do it then we're all doomed!
I just hope we NEVER have to find out how well any Nuclear weapons are IRL.
This theory is popular, right now.
I don't know who was the first circulated such nonsense.
Edit: russia developed and tested nuclear weapons successfully.
Just in case the next video questions this fact.
whatever russion trolls say, most of Russian nuclear weapons are not ready to use. On the other side the remaining functional nuclear weapons are still more then enough.
Yes, only a few of those missiles need to work to cause serious issues.
Russian nuclear arsenal is sub standard unmaintained and out dated .
The problem with applying bad conditions to Russia's nukes is redundancy. In other words, they won't aim one nuke at each major city (in a full blown war), they'll fire 10. That's why they have so many of them.
This also applies to countries with decently maintained stockpiles. It is literally rocket science after all. Every country has to assume that some won't launch, some will blow up on take-off, some will go wildly astray, will get shot down, won't blow up over the target etc. etc.
Or maybe many or all will work. So in a real nuclear war, anyone in a major city should expect to get hit with nukes over and over again.
India is importing less weapons overall. India wants to increase its own domestic weapons industry by supporting Indian state owned and private defense companies. Only thing India is importing are high end weapon systems like aircraft and other electro optical equipment and components. most other weapon systems can be procured and produced in India itself without the help of a external source. India can’t fight a global war by relying only on unreliable foreign weapon suppliers like US, Russia, Israel, France and UK.
It's shocking how much a country their size relies so heavily on imports. Even today a lot of their "domestic" equipment is either licensed Soviet/Russian gear or shameless copies. Their pistols are mainly imports, their assault rifles are mainly foreign copies, their elite units mainly use western equipment, they've got mounds of Isreali gear, their tanks are mainly T-90s and T-72s, their IFVs are all BMPs, their air and missile defenses are all old Soviet crap, they've got a ton of Soviet built ships, and when you start prying into their native built ships and aircraft you'll still find tons of imported parts like American or European made electronics and engines.
They are moving more towards domestic production, I heard until the last decade or so they were still relying on Russian made attire (forget if it was their BDUs, helmets, or body armor) and until recently they couldnt even issue enough body armor but they're changing that and modernizing. It's good they're moving away from Russian made kit though in general since their main threats are Pakistan and China who both use a lot of Chinese made gear which is heavily based on Russian gear and China (along with India) have a ton of inside knowledge on Russian kit so the Chinese will be intimately knowledgeable on India's Soviet and Russian gear.
Their army is like Russian. They just run away faster.
Yes just like Kargil war or bangladesh war 😂😂😂😂😂 always remember 93000 surrender
@@armanshukla7367 What does that have to do with Indian equipment procurement?
They perform alright in war though. They've beaten Pakistan more then once even though the US, UK, and China were backing Pakistan in the Bangladesh liberation war. The only major time i know of them backing down was against China in their border conflict and it's hard to blame them for that when Russia did the same when China was far weaker and Russia was far stronger, and when most of the world is letting China get away with occupying most of the South China Sea, lets them attack civilian vessels in their own waters, allows them to build islands illegally, and lets China steal oil and other resources from neighboring countries.
Russia definitely made a mistake opening up the largest live testing ground for western weapons.
Well, at least now we know, that Abrams can't drive horizontally on a soil.
@@Crazmuss have you seen the 6000 plus tanks destroyed by the ukranians ?? most destroyed by artillery and shoulder fired weapons ,,,,what difference does a few Abrams need to make ?? and these are old stock Nato 90s era weapons the Ukranians are getting ,,,T72,,T80,T90 all 80s and 90s spec "cheap" tanks designed for a cold war conflict that never happened BUT Nato countries didnt stop their weapons development then and dont actually make tanks a major part of battlefield planning preferring air resourses to get the job done from tens of miles away
Neither the West nor Russia will test the latest technologies and weapons in this war for obvious reasons.
It works both ways =)
By the way, what about drones in NATO armies? Already adopted?
@@juryfilatov4520we were using drones 20 years ago. Ours shoot hell fire missiles with spring out sword blades.
The t-34 was not the first tank to have sloped armour… you’re supposed to do research
The British WW1 tanks all had sloped armour, as did the Matilda 2, the Valentine, the Sherman and the Crusader.
Who need weapons when you have shovels?
You need, otherwise you barley gain 50km2 in a year of fighting, and few US weapon deliveries hold you back for 2 years and counting
Russian commander receives a shipment of brand new surface-to-air missiles. Day later, he reports back to command that all missiles have been used up and they hit with 96% accuracy. For next shipment, he requests to be sent surface-to-target missiles.
(laughter), that’s good
You're closer to correct than you think. The Russians have books full of charts that are used for assessing the effectiveness and number of enemy casualties that are produced by artillery fire. The Russian officers look up the appropriate chart after a fire mission and use this to calculate the number of enemy killed and wounded.
I slap my knees - that was a really good one - I'm still laughing minutes after reading it.
"Command, this is Bomber 1. 100% of all bombs have hit the target, the ground. Mission accomplished!"
Source of this "information"? Receipts are required. How about you paste a source for your allegations?
What about the shovels? They seem to be working just fine. LOL…
True
😮😅
Why is then Russia not losing already? They were supposed to run out of missiles 2 years ago. Their army is bad so why are they still killing people in Ukraine?
Last time i checked they still have lotsa kitchen sinks as well as toilet bowls😂! They haven't used any yet!
Kicking NATO's trained and armed Ukrainian proxy too. Anyone that believes this crap needs a wake up call.
The luxurious yachts are very expensive. The Oligarchs have a lavish lifestyle and sergeant Bilko happens.
If the goal is to make money why would a weapons manufacturer invest money and resources into a politically dangerous country when they can steal all of your inventions any time they want. That kills innovation.
Did u know russian private fleet which was paid by "war fleet chest" is bigger than actual russian navy? russia is actually paying for three ships (or anything else) just to get 1 somewhat working ship. Yeah thats corruption in russia.
And if you're an engineer why would you stay somewhere with a low standard of living and terrible wages, when you could make better money and be living in better conditions in Europe or the US.
It's 2-pronged, no foreign companies want to be involved and domestic development is starved for talent, because anyone that's competent wants out.
Because it's always been a corrupt clown show.

Nice to see the Russian space program is on track even during the SMO.
they litterally stole the f22 raptors design to make the SU57 and they did it so bad they cant even use the plane haha
Like they did with the US space shuttle.
What if some of their nuclear weapons actually worked? Do you want to take that chance?
Seems like we do. Thing is ours work. And are much much closer to Moscow.
The big question is 'how would they be used?' ie what military advantage would they confer?
That's Russian rulett for yu
Corruption is a big part of it as well. A General is supposed to armor his unit, so he buys cheap or fake upgrades and pockets the money. Your vehicles need new tires? Buy cleaning supplies and have your troops shine up the old tires.
RuSSia is just a Mafia-State! Nothing else!
What you call corruption the generals or whomever call back pay and economic survival.
Very good point
I was always told in Russia that it's considered "bad Business" to not at least try to steal something before you buy it. It stems a combination of the Russian obsession with the idea of smekalka and chronic poverty. It's savvy to make money off your troops by giving them NERF body armor instead of the real thing.
America had the same problem in Vietnam
Imagine the mental gymnastics a Russian propagandist has to go through.
Just as much as US mainstream media. Press secretary and all media are like soviet state media.
it's insane and probably why they so desperately try to claim that a bunch of the civlian deaths arent from the war but due to a secret genocide only Russia knows about and why they use so much of the same tactics as Nazi propagandists and neo-nazi conspiracy theorists. I still find it hilarious how people claim Putin is winning this 1 week special military operation even though we're on day 863. Like even if you ignore any information from either side and just look at a map you'll be able to tell this has been a disaster seeing as Russia invaded an unprepared, far weaker enemy they share a massive land border with, and they started the war already occupying like 10% of the country but havent managed to push the front line very far after over 2 years of constant fighting and multiple rounds of conscription. There weren't any Americans claiming the US was winning the Vietnam War in 1974.
😂😂😂😂 true!
Fuckin gold medalists they are
M. C. Escher would be jealous.
Never underestimate the enemy. Vietnam war and Afghan war... turned real losers.
also Afghan and Ukraine, cheers.
Those wars were run from the White House to enrich their elite friends. Iraq was ran by the military. The elits care nothing for American lives. They only care about their power and wealth.

They were often spoken of as being a Paper Tiger, and that the only thing Russia has going for it is it's Nuclear Arsenal. If Russia didn't have a Nuclear Arsenal, they'd be absolutely fucked because they wouldn't be able to defend against an attack
I wanna bet those nuclear missiles are rotting in their rubes aswell. Stripped for parts and valuable materials, i doubt any of them even launch/explode.

@@oscargrainger2962 They have spent more time as a paper tiger then an actual tiger. The Russo-Japanese war as a total humiliation and so was the first 20 years of Soviet history with them losing wars in Poland, Finland, Estonia, and Latvia and they needed Germany's help to take part of Poland and they nearly lost in Finland the second time. They also lost multiple wars to Afghanistan in 1925, 1929, and the famous one in the 80s and every one of those wars was against a much weaker opponent. I mean losing a war to Estonia is hilarious, the whole country is about the size of Dallas and especially back then they were economically insignificant compared to the USSR or previous Russian Empire.
Going back further the Russian Empire lost a bunch of humiliating wars too. They've relied on their massive size to intimidate other countries but when they have to back up their bluster they get ruined like the Crimean War (1853 one), Ukraine, WW1, early WW2, Afghanistan, and in Chechnya the first time. The Crimean War was way different then the current Ukraine war but was vaguely similar in that they lost a large war on their own border and managed to take massive casualties in spite of everything starting in their favor (war was on their own border, it was a defensive war, they already held the territory the fighting happened on, enemies were fighting long distance, they had numerical advantage, Russia had experience fighting their enemies, enemies had to perform naval landings, and Russia instigated the war so they _should_ have been better prepared).

@@josericardo9614 Russian leaders are winning the war , overcame sanctions and have driven the west into a state of collapse and they are “ lousy “ ? 😂😂
while their weaponry is bad the tactical blunders are just so bad. I remember a couple of months into the war they made the "brilliant" decision to send all their drill sergeants to the front lines to reinforce their numbers.
funny thing is Russia keeps falling for the same blunders as the Nazis. They also threw a bunch of their elite units and a ton of trainers (who were some of the most experienced and best trained men in their military) into units like the Lehr division or Sonderkommando Elbe that were sent on suicide missions like the Battle of the Bulge resulting in them losing a ton of their best leaders and best trainers. Japan did the same and sent their best men into battles against well prepared americans rather then using those men as leaders or trainers. Russia has effectively gutted their special forces by sending them into frontal assaults, the estimates i've heard say it will take them a decade or more to full recover those units since training special forces takes a lot of time since they have such high standards (either that or you drop standards and they arent nearly as effective).
Why don't you talk of all the western weapons being destroyed by Russia why don't you say America was using the dollar as a weapon and forcing countries with sanctions if they buy from Russia.

Makes me smile when I read about how much the USAF and the Navy competes with each other for air superiority.
What do you mean "despite the overwhelming numerical superiority" ??
The operational group was increased from 150K in 2022 up to 300K in 2024.
But the number from Ukrainian side was around 1M in the middle in 2022 and they conscript around 20K every month.
LOL. BS on the T-34. It wasn't the first tank to feature sloping armor. They choose to employ sloping armor to the degree that other designers would not use because of the reduced internal volume would lead to worse ergonomics. The T-34 was produced in huge numbers and taken out by the Germans in large numbers. Only the 37mm German guns had issues with them. Those guns also had issues in 1940 with English Mathilda II's, French B1's and so on. Look at how many tanks the Russians lost in WW2 and compare that with the Germans who were dumb enough to fight on at least two fronts.
Famous Jormans. Which absolutely not cared about internal volume with their frontal gearbox design
This is only because the Germans had fewer tanks. The T-34s were mostly destroyed by anti-tank weapons. In the Vietnam War, Vietnam lost 200 planes and helicopters, the United States lost 10,000 planes and helicopters. Does this mean that Vietnamese aviation was better? No, they just had little aviation and a lot of air defense.
plus the infamous issues with catastrophically poor build quality as a direct response to stalin demanding production numbers at all costs-
everything from armor and welds that shattered from impacts it should have effortlessly bounced,
to periscopes that didnt even have GLASS in them >.>

In Moscw is a big show of shot down Leopards and Abrams and all other kind of western tanks. Truth is. Tanks are outdated.
Peace is more than just an absence of violence. You can't win a war with just bombs and bullets. You need soft power aswell.
that's one thing people forget about Russia and China and it's arguably one of America's greatest strengths. The US has tons of economic, cultural, and diplomatic influence, and that gives them a lot of power globally even without direct political or military influence. Like one of my favorite examples is Kung Fu Panda: it was such a well made American movie that Chinese citizens were asking "why is America making better movies about Chinese culture then China?" since their movies tend to be rather poorly written and rely on special effects even more then ours to carry a film. My other favorite example is Disney with even America's biggest enemies like Hitler and the Kim dynasty being huge fans of classic Disney cartoons to the point that the previous "crown prince" of the DPRK, Kim Jong-nam, losing his title (and his life) for trying to visit Disneyland, which is something you'd never really see happening with an American politician. Imagine Hunter Biden being executed because he just needed to risk his life sneaking into a forbidden Chinese amusement park, or imagine Americans being arrested and spending their life in jail for Iranian or North Korean movies.
@@arthas640Yeah but Disney covered up Black Panthers face on promo posters for the movie in China and took Finn out of all Star Wars promo posters in China too. But I do get your point just not going to put halos over Disney. China does have some good low budget production films. Mostly martial arts films. I look at China differently than Russia. China is trying to have the best of both worlds by being communist and trying to have capitalist or western ideals. Russia seems to be trying to regain a bygone era when they were at or near the top. Corruption is tearing that country apart as well.
I often think "soft power " will be the only way wars will be won, in the future.
But thank you for your post Matt-rz7gm, I didn't know what it was called.
Russia never held an "overwhelming numerical superiority" during the war in Ukraine. They attacked with just 150,000-200,000 soldiers. That's not enough to even police a 40 million people country like Ukraine, let alone conquer it, calling into question the assumption that it was their plan to conquer the entire country, or even its capital. Later the Russians increased the troop numbers to perhaps 500,000, but the Ukrainians did so even before the Russians did.
Per Putin, there are currently about 700K russians in the theater. Yes, they planned this war poorly and got bogged down.

Why do people keep saying this that Russia's t-34 was the first tank that used sloped armor when there are dozens of tanks built before that had sloped armor I don't understand where this myth comes from.
Comes from videos like this. There are dozens of mistakes in this video but how many people will fact check, or, even consider it may not be accurate.
You beat me to it. The idea that an engineer anywhere or anytime wouldn't immediately think of this is inane. Battleships were using this concept in1900 well before anyone had heard of 'a tank'.
As to where it comes from. Repetition exactly like this video. Simply no research and no understanding. This nonsense was taught to me in school- I'm 62. I rebelled against it then at 13 because it was simply stupid but the myth marches on. There are many other such myths.

The problem is that the USA built counters for what they thought the Russian weapons were capable of which resulted in completely overpowered weapons on their part.

yeah NATO weapons really helping Ukraine...not
This went both ways during the cold war. The soviets built the Kirovs and the Kunetzovs specifically to launch their advanced cruise missiles that they had to build in order to counter American CVNs. The US was forced to spend insane amounts of money developing the Mk.48 ADCAP torpedo when the Soviets managed to fool them into thinking that they had a larger fleet of Alfa-class subs that could outrun any torpedo of the time.
The cold war ended because one side ran out of money from doing this back and forth for 50 years. Now, if only our government here in the US would realize that there's no longer an arms race and stop spending like the cold war never ended.

I'm wondering if Ukraine will try its hand at becoming a refit/upgrade partner for other countries using old Soviet/Russian equipment. They've certainly had their fair share of experience with Russian tanks being crap. But what if the Ukrainian defense companies could work out a way to install better western systems into something like a T90. Make a T90 an actual competitive tank, or at least make it not garbage with egg crate armor and chain link cages strapped to the side.
If other countries are sitting on stocks of old Soviet tanks and are hesitant because of the high cost of Western tanks, Ukraine could have a gold mine on its hands.
There will be a year or two of recycling old wrecked armored vehicles but it will take decades to demine everything.

Come on now, people forget that no weapon system is infallible.
Heck even during WW1 when the british came rolling up with their tanks they might have been a shocking sight at first, but it was already during that first assault that the germans improvised tactics and weapons to defend against that completely new weapon system.
Bundled grenades to blow off the tracks, direct fire with artillery, bunched up barbed wire to tangle up the gears of the tracks/wheels followed up by close-assaults.
There is always an arms race going on, always has, always will.
The only difference is that Putin started to believe his own lies and that there is SO MUCH smoke and mirrors involved in Russia, especially before the actual full-on war, that the true descripancy betwen the few truely ELITE Russian Units (many of which were almost entirely wiped out during the first few weeks/months that saw the most intense fighting and where there was a real chance of Russia taking Kiev) and the vast majority of the russian armed forces, where training, equipment, motivation, leadership, supply and readiness could vary IMMENSELY!

1:40 Sorry, total myth. The T-34 was absolutely _not_ the first modern tank to feature sloped armor. Most WWII tanks had sloped armor in the front, many of them existing before the T-34 was even designed.
But, other tanks also had sloped side armor prior to the T-34 entering service in 1941. Examples include things like France's FCM 36 that entered service in 1933, the French Somua S35 that entered service in 1934, or the Panzerkampfwagen I that entered service in 1934 (though it's slope wasn't as severe as the T-34 or the FCM 36).
That's a myth that's always bugged me, especially since it's so often thrown around by Tankies. If you go back further it's not even the first vehicle with sloped armor, even during the Civil War they were doing it with ships and before that wearable armor was often very carefully designed with the idea sloping to deflect blows better then just the contours of the human body (hence why a ton of chest plates have big bellies in the later parts of the medieval and early modern period while more primitive armor from antiquity tended to be flatter). As you mention even with tanks the T-34 was far from the first. The idea of sloping is such an old idea that the front slanted armor of a tank is called the "glacis" which is the name for the sloped armor of a fortress which is truely ancient.
and they were not even well made. rushed production to keep the numbers up.
30 to 40% of them broke down before even seeing the frontline.
terrible welds soo the armor would just snap destroying the tank without penetration.
this tank is russia 101 good on paper but it was made in russia.
British had sloped armor long before the USSR existed.
Russian tanks, t34, were slaughtering US tanks in Korea, at least that is what most history films and videos said. WW2 Germans liked the T34 as a medium tank. Survival is all that counts not the technicals of the weapon used.
t34 is half american anyway. engine is old bmw engine and trany was made in italy i think. nothing much russian in it. by the way, t90 uses modified engine from t34.

No. Putin wasn't the liar. Putin was the one being LIED TO. Putin has his own scams to rip off his people, but he wants and needs a functioning military. That's why the guy in charge of the company that made the S-500 is rotting in prison for lying about its capabilities - or rather it's lack thereof. That's also why ruZZia has been so slow getting old tanks out of storage. It wasn't Putin who was ordering brand new spares for functioning tanks, but pocketing the money, and riping spares of mothballed tanks in storage.
Putin created a system where people need to lie to get ahead and make a decent life for themselves. Now he's the victim of it. Every day, all the reports he gets from his officers on the battlefield, are a pack of lies, whose only purpose is to make that officer look good. Or at least look less bad, when things go wrong.

You still need tanks to win wars. A well disciplined crew is a great crew. These Russians have little to no training. For an US Abrams tank crew it takes about a year in tank school.
Without taking into account general military training, the training of a tanker takes from 3 to 6 months
seems to be something we both inherited from WW2. The US realized a good tank crew was worth a lot more then a good tank and built tanks that would preserve the crew as much as possible so they regularly had crews bail out and get a new tank, sometimes even rejoining the same battle. The Soviets meanwhile just built tanks to be as easy as possible to build and operate which meant losing crews but meant you could field a lot more tanks, that was a lot more important for them during WW2 and later their army was built with the idea that a bunch of highly trained officers would lead a mob of peasant conscripts so they made things easy to build and easy to operate so an army could be built quickly. We're starting to see the problems with both of those doctrines as it takes a lot longer to build US equipment, it's more expensive, and it takes a lot longer to train soldiers but the Soviet doctrine results in an unruly mob of cannon fodder, especially when your officers are a joke and the lack of skilled NCOs cant make up for shitty officers and incompetent enlisted conscripts.

Soviet-era cannon operated by the Russian military have an operational range of 24-28 km., while NATO-standard guns fielded by the UAF fire effectively at ranges of 30-40 km. Ukrainian gunners operating technically-superior cannon have gained a powerful battlefield advantage and are inexorably reducing the Russian army’s mortars, howitzers, and rocket artillery systems to scrap with something approaching impunity, Russian military bloggers are saying .Even vociferously pro-Kremlin observers are confirming the battlefield firepower pendulum has swung away from the Russian army clearly to the AFU’s side, and the Ukrainian artillery’s ability to hit its Russian opposite without risking being hit back, is being singled out as the key factor in AFU ground advances in recent weeks.
There is a totally different mindset in how everything is designed and used in NATO vs Soviet gear. People often bring up how the USSR had bigger nukes and more missiles but overall they were less capable. The US stopped making missiles/warheads as big as possible because they developed missiles that were more and more accurate so they didnt need as many missiles or as large a payload but the Soviets had to make up for their lack of accuracy with size and volume, they couldnt kill with a quick stab so they blindly swung with a hammer instead. The US has plenty of flaws but a major reason why they also dont have Soviet sized stockpiles is because when properly used you dont need a war of attrition: like Desert Storm they used precision weaponry to cripple the enemy in a matter of days and weeks so after that you're just mopping up a disunited smattering of enemy units who are cut off from resupply and cut off from command.
We heard about the resource of howitzers that the M777 is not intended for intensive shooting, such as is now being done in Ukraine, as this leads to high wear on the barrel. After several weeks of use, the range and accuracy of howitzers drops and is comparable to Russian howitzers. It's just worth reading a little more than what the news says.
@@NotrusbotPretty standard issues for howitzer barrels the world over. Ukraine is using their artillery a lot, systems components wear out with use. Nothing unusual here.
@@Notrusbot A large round going through a barrel does a lot of damage. You expect a lot of wear and tear. That is why they usually design guns with replaceable barrels.

Germany had commanders at the end of WW II. It just did not have enough equipment and weapons and even worse, it did not have enough gasoline for the remaining airplanes and vehicles. I spoke to a witness, he is no longer alive, who told me that at an airport in south of Germany there was a row of new airplanes STILL UNPACKED from factory crates, because THERE WAS NO FUEL FOR THEM.
The reason why WW II happened was also instrumental in the defat of Germany and Japan.
WWII happened, both in Europe and in East Asia, because the World market in resources and commodities was rigged. Before the war both Germany and Japan had no free access to it to purchase raw materials and then export and sell back manufactured products, so that Germany and Japan could feed its people. The food production of Germany and Japan could not cover their food needs to feed their populations - they had to manufacture, export and sell and then from the profits buy food on the World market to cover the food deficit at home. But, the problem was the World market was rigged against these two countries.
The second big problem was their insufficiency and insecurity of oil purchasing contracts. There was practically no oil in central Europe and none in Japan and mainland eastern Asia adjacent to Japan - the three big oil producing regions of the planet were controlled by the British, the Americans and the Dutch. No country's economy is secure without free commercial access to oil producing regions. Germany and Japan were very insecure on this account, and were at the mercy of the three powers.
They had to do something radical, and they did.

It is sad to see channels use AI tools to write the scripts without any human fact checking.

The issue with focusing on weapons is that Ukraine for at least the first years and well into the second, were facing Russia with almost the same weapons. Even the US weapons they go were 1980s era and many of those still aren't online in large numbers. It isn't just, or even primarily, the weapons, but other factors.
* Logistics. Western weapons only work with extremely good logistics and people trained in it. Even if Russia had western qualify weapons, they don't have the systems, training, money, and commitment to supplying them. They rely on rail, don't have forklifts and pallets, nor folks able to handle scheduling, position of fuel trucks, etc. Ukraine had less of these issues as it was defensive and inside their country.
* Training. Russia is still using Soviet-era doctrines and those of its bush wars. Ukraine retrained itself along western lines -- good NCOs and junior officers, western tactics, etc. They don't make the same types of mistakes.
* Commitment. Russia is using conscripts who have nothing be be gained. You have prisoners, disgruntled folks from rural areas, lots of alcoholics, etc. Ukrainians are fighting for their families.
On top of that...
* Russia apparently has squads of troops to stop deserters with lethal force.
* Many of the conscripts now are minorities in Russia and even foreign students.
