PTS - The Strange Vehicle Being Used By Russia AND Ukraine
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2023
- The PTS amphibious transporter, first produced in 1965, has been in service for nearly 60 years in many former Warsaw Pact nations - including Russia and Ukraine. PTS, an upgrade to the slightly older K-61, which in turn was designed to replace the aging DUKWs, is a mammoth vehicle capable of transporting an incredible amount of cargo over any water obstacle. But what's it doing in Ukraine?

Next up: The MTLB, aka the Toyota Corolla of APC's: everyone's got one, they're all over the planet, and they run forever.
Up there with the M113, pretty much just equivalents of each other
@@bryburiya2709 You can't put a 122mm gun on an aluminum M113 case. while mtlb can (2s1 gvozdika) .
@@carkawalakhatulistiwa Maybe with enough modification you could
@@bryburiya2709 enough modifications like basically turning it into a new tank?

"...uses tracks which are way cooler". Yes, yes they are!
Similar to a WW2 L.V.T. which in Brit lingo was known as the Buffalo. Another great film! 👍
Cheers as always Phil :)
Schindler's Fist is my favourite film
My first thought as well.
watah boofaloo
THE PTS looks like a lot of WW2 era Japanese amphibious vehicles which were never used due to the war ending. Or weren't too obscure and not well known.
This remind me that I saw Indonesian marine corps use then as artillery platform. Like literally shooting its Howitzer while still floating on water during apmhibious assault scenario
I remember seing one in place where my gradfather worked as firefighter in slovakia. They used them mostly during flood.
Ruomor is, next model will be PTS-D.
It'll be air deployable!
There's quite a bit of footage of the vehicles carrying forward-pointing guns on them. Were there any provisions to allow the guns to be fired during transport?
How am I supposed to get work done on Friday afternoons when Red Wrench brings videos out at 14.00? I'm now 30 minutes behind!
Another lovely video.
Your channel is very underrated!
I've been anticipating this ever since the community post
These Vehicles are Just Boats With Tracks, but They are a Brilliant Piece of Design and are Most Useful to Both Sides...
This honestly sounds like a great way to give amphibious capabilities to smaller units. Especially when most could be already transported in amphibious vehicles like many medium APCs are. A small number of PTS could enable a company or Battallion to self transport over rivers and other small water features.
5:17 If PTS-4 just also use a 125mm gun it would by amphibious modern MBT 😂😂
Also it is interesting how Ukrain have only 15 BTS’s but have thousands of Ex-Soviet vehicles (MBT,IFV,etc..)?
Soviet Union produced tens of thousands of vehicles and a lot of them were placed on "storage bases", especially older stuff.
MBTs were mostly T-64s that were made in factory located in Kharkov. Due to logistical reasons majority of T-64s were mostly left in Ukraine even back in Soviet Union, so Ukraine ended up with T-64s and old BMP-1s as their main use vehicles. Repairing or upgrading T-64 wasn't the problem for Ukraine since manufacturer was in their own country.
@@unknowncommenter6698 Except it was, because this failed shithole of a state took largest, most modern tank factory in the world gifted them by Soviet Union and completely stolen/wasted it in less than a decade. Machinery, crew, everything gone to the point they couldn't even make a single Oplot tank for 15 years. The factory that made 5500 very high tech T-80 tanks couldn't even finish Thai tank order, made out of refurbished junk, for close to a decade. This should tell you a lot why the whole east of country wants out.
Gorbachev destroyed them, as well as pantoon bridges as a "token to Western trust and friendship"...
@@user-bn1zd3us5lreally?
Epic vehicle
Very neat to learn about these more unknown vehicles
Now make the video of the M37 HMC or i am going to say bad things about your feet
i think is this my new favorite vehicle
Neat video as always.
Thanks again!
PTS 4???? Come ON... give us the PTS-D!!!!!
sick video
PMM, PMM-2,PMM-2M next please
i really like engineering vehicles
russian M.CH.S has PTS-(PS)(M) for flood response
We can see it now being used in Dnepr
The technical part of this video is AMAZING! Well done. You clearly don't know the Russians tough, keep with the spec side of things you're good at. :)
Cool
Maybe do a vid on the tr(Tank românesc)-125
6:30 was that the same attempt where it turned out it was a total mess when both sides tried to cross the river in one place and ended up losing fuckton of vehicles?
Yup, then ukro-paganda made barefaced lies about all losses being Russian - and gullible idiots (like sadly, video author) believed it despite most of depicted vehicles clearly showing ukrainian markings. Ditto with idiotic claims of 5784594 captured vehicles, a single broken armored transport is claimed to be captured in 5 or 10 places to make a feelgood story for western donors to show them how "hard" they are winning (while ignoring inconvenient questions like why they beg so hard for 10 Leopards when they had 2500 tanks before the war, not to mention close to 500 ex-Warsaw Pact tanks they already received from nato, vanished without a trace because they can't admit Russians smashed 3000 tanks with best, western trained crews to bits destroying dozens of inept mass attacks that ended up with horrific ukr casualties western press is completely silent about)...
basically the soviet version of the DUKW
I want one
Try asking Serbia, in the video they were shown to have one, I think
A license-built version of a US Detroit engine? How would the Soviets get that license?
The same way US gets our U235 and places in spaceships (used to untill 1 year ago). War is war... but every1 wants money xD.
@@nashaigra8973 Can't argue that.
@@luvr381 Rlly thats what happened. There are a lot of examples but the 1 i know is Russia-Sweden war in 18centrury where Sweden sold rifles to Russia while being at war.
@@nashaigra8973sheeit.. Well tye swedish lost.. So cant say their tactics were the best
1:23 The vehicule has a Z, interesting
I think that's the number 2 just in a square-ish font
thats a 2
the subtitles....
According to Oryx about 20 abandoned and captured PTS-2. Keep in mind they only list confirmed by pictures ones. The actual number will be higher as in our experience Oryx lists around 70% of the actual losses and such. So the actual number will be between 26 and 29.
plavayushchija [pla-voo-shi-ya]. means swimming not floating. (also why does english butcher russian spelling, so that even mne a native speeker has to fucking desifer what word it is)
Видео крутое. Но без украинской новостной повестки не обошлось. Украинский ПТС перевозит скорую помощь, а русская горит или захвачена украинцами. А ничего что техника горит и захватывается с обеих сторон? Акценты явно смещены.
The stories of equipment being abandoned by Russian forces are greatly exaggerated. Every piece they do get is videod, spread throughout the media, brought to a new location and videos again. Numerous independent creators have pointed out the unique markings on vehicles and how they keep showing up, each time being reported as a new find.
By now its getting hard to say which side has abandoned more equipment. The numbers of Javelin and AT-4 missiles now being used against Ukrainian vehicles and defenses is quite telling. I can't help but laugh every time I see Russian troops driving around in HMMVs.
It will be exaggerated somewhat, but not greatly Oryx removes duplicates and checks for them regularly and still has thousands of abandoned vehicles listed.
@@Kav. That hasn't aged well.
@@MicMc539 what hasn't?
@@Kav. Oryx.
Turns out it was a Uki bullshit site, since closed and discredited.
war is good business..demmand for weapon and equipment is skyrocket..we shoukd thanks ukraine for this.
The only ones profiting from war are the weapons manufacturer elite
Thats American propaganda. The Soviets didn't copy the DUKW because American vehicles are trash! 😂
''American vehicles are trash''
Meanwhile they literally praised WWII American equipments a lot
Dear Red Wrench Films and anyone reading i hope all is well. I just want to say that Jesus Christ loves and cares for you. If you haven't done so please accept Him as your savior and Lord. And remember to enjoy and cherish all that is good and right in life for we only get one life and we don't know what tomorrow will bring.
