Former tanker here: In order for a wheel like that to come off at least 5 different people weren't doing their jobs. Those things use bolts strong enough to pick up a building, so it either wasn't bolted down from last time they serviced it or the bolts were fake.
That "desertcross" is 1000% a golf cart. Seriously. The entire layout, even down to the rocker switches, all standard golf cart industry stuff. There are ruggedized offroad-capable golf carts designed for things like light farm work or working on golf courses, landscaping etc., they are just a 300-500cc gas-powered cart with a hydraulic lift bed and sometimes removable doors, slightly more engineering and strength than a normal golf club cart, headlights and tail lights, bumper bars, but still definitely a golf cart. I recognize those connecting arms, the rear diff, all clearly engineering from golf carts.
0:59 "limited defence against enemy fire" ? That has to be the understatement of the year. Somewhere there is a Chinese golf course missing a load of golf buggies.
We have a popular expression in Brazil refering to lack of refinement or diligece on the job, called "made on thighs". It's a reference to colonial times where slaves would mold clay on their thighs to make roof tiles, but as people have different sizes of thighs, the tiles would be uneven. From what I've seen, many things done in China are "made on thighs".
@@myne00Hey, you've gotta get time for a three hour lunch hour and afford time for morning brew. If we didn't, the iced coffee industry would collapse!
The roof tile became what is known as an H2 pan tile. The tiles would be sorted into sizes, The large ones go on the bottom courses and they get smaller as you progress up the roof!

That roadwheel coming off was a maintenance issue - that should have been detected by the crew during their 'during operation' checks.

you tried bot, if it had been a Chinese account the username would have been different as it was registered on the Asian server. Take your propaganda elsewhere
I recall Russia using Chinese tyres on their wheeled launchers during an offensive - the tyres all burst as it did not meet specs and load bearing abilities, so the Russians had to abandon them in the fields and it got towed away by the Ukrainians.
That was because theybwere cheaply made Chinese garbage, but also because the Russian military has zero logistical capability and didn’t rotate the vehicles that were in the sun. That’s why only one side lost their tires on most vehicles.
Its okay, tanks perfectly match an equally tofu army. As UN peacekeepers in Africa, they ran away from terrorists to withdraw behind civilians. If you're not in china, you can search this.
It is called Realpolitik - shitty ATV's and chemicals for ammo or drone parts is allowed and medical kits and even ammo pouches - but no Dong Feng DF-21 ballistic missiles. There are lines that cannot be crossed - even the Iranians know this.
I feel like the reason why Chinese construction workers are able to build so fast in just under a week is due to poor quality of materials and treatment of workers.
The quality of the iron ore they got are pretty good from Australian mines. Them cutting corners in producing steel at their own factories and marketing it as high grade steel is their own failing.
Interesting information, but if you used static shots of the sources that provided theses bits of news and information, instead of the random b-roll (Lord of War? Seriously?), more people would take you seriously. If you wanted to be more dynamic, like, show the countries being mentioned on maps, or highlight text from a given source as it's being mentioned, that would be something people are looking for. As these videos stand, I cannot watch them because i know the footage is irrelevant to the information being spoken. More than that though, I know the visuals are misleading because they only marginally relate to the information; body armor as an illustration of what body armor looks like, fine, but who the hell knows where that footage came from or what it's showing? I LIKE the news reading. The video is TERRIBLE.
I said the same thing China is sending golf carts to Russia to fight in a war that is the funniest thing I've ever seen not even Japan would have used that in World War II
Would love for the US to let China import one of their main battle tanks to UKRAINE to see how they would do with the Ukrainian boys and girls, lol .. I would love to see how that armor holds up to an American made javelin.. UKRAINE has become the real test for weapons that were designed, produced in the mid-90s. Imagine what we have now.. lol
0:31 my guess, a vehicle which is named „desert cross“ was probably not designed to be used in muddy winter. For me it looks like a „better“ golf cart.
Didn't China already get several hundred of the US HMMWVs from Afghanistan when potato head pulled our troops out without taking our military equipment??!!! They should have been able to reverse engineer that by now!!! And that was the last generation of troop carrier!!
I'm curious why the combat golf cart needs 92 octane gas. AFAIK, it's only needed for high-performance engines because of the pressure & heat in the cylinders.
except the mechanic probably had nothing to do with it. If the bolt was loose sure fine, but if it was a bolt that sheered off cause the metal wasn't to spec it's nothing to do with him. If he bolted it in place and torqued it down to spec and it failed under load i mean whatchagonnado
Treat a tank like that, and you are lucky if you only shear off a road wheel. I'm not convinced this is an example of bad design, and I love to diss both Chinese and Russian quality of their military equipment.
Since China is supplying military assistance to Russia, why does Biden invite Xi Jinping to dinner in San Francisco, attended by Elon Musk, the chief of Blackrock, Tim Cook of Apple, etc? Who the hell is running the show? And just who's side are they on? No, I'm not a fan of Trump, (nor Biden)
FYI, nothing is bullet proof. Bullet resistant is the most you can hope for. Or don't be where bullets are flying. And bullets vary in energy, size, composition. Mach 5 tungsten is admirable. Mach 5 DU is devastating.

"International army games"...Which countries does participate in that again? Russia, China, Belarus and all former Soviet republic nations😂 Nothing but a fun get-together of the top dictatorships in the world...
Military golf cart. The tank is good example of China quality. Not only is consumer products trash, seems like the military products are the same poor quality.
Ok, to recap, a wheel fell off a Chinese tank in 2020, and China sold Russia some side by side ATVs. This leads you to conclude that the poor performance of Chinese land vehicles in Russian service led to China supplying Russia with shells instead. Then you just go into talking about who's supplying Russia with what for 10 minutes. My advice is you tighen it up into a more cohesive structure and have an overall thesis you're trying to make
Testing of fasteners / bolts and other components are important.The cost of the US military can seem unusually high, I know because while working for defense contractors, I saw first hand how many requirements of parts had pages and pages of documentation for the specs with serial numbers, much like the airplane industry does too.I knew an inspector who went to jail for falsification of military hardware documentation.Testing and the procedures costs time and money. It`s nothing like most commercial manufacturing. This sounds like material failure and not a design fault.
A road wheel coming off on a tracked vehicle, is either a sign of an untrained crew who did maintenance on the vehicle and failed to put it back together again or broken components. Either way, China should have not had this embarrassing display.
China is utterly incompetent. The vast majority of everything they’ve ever made is based on stolen technology and schematics. Even when something is of national importance they fail to do a quality job
The fact that China sells cheap equipment to Russia is a great strategy for China as it helps achieve at least three objectives: 1) Reduce Russia Military & wealth str with crap equipment 2) wasting US high grade military weapons arsenal on China cheaply made equipment. 3) Study the US military equipment & come up with counter measures if possible.
#3 will never happen since their own counter measures are going to be Tofu. China has stolen some parts of the F22 and F35 documentation and still fails to make a stealth aircraft opting to make low observable self crashing planes instead.
The US military equipment used against Russia in Ukraine is from the 1980's and early 1990's, which is exactly how daft the PLA would be to "prepare" for it. 😂😂😂
What's more ironic is that their Soviet equipment still hold up today. Russia desperately wants an army like ye olden Eastern Bloc era but they can't go back to total communism.
@@thientuongnguyen2564 They could, it's just that "throw more bodies at the problem until it goes away" doesn't work in the modern battlefield. And soviet equipment, while well constructed, is pitifully inadequate against current military technology. As got anything Russia puts out now, it's the design philosophy of "fancy tech == good vehicle" which is just not true when that tech is so poorly maintained it doesn't work.
You have to wonder how in the world Russia is paying for this stuff. Remember they have a GDP somewhat below that of California. Am from and now live in a rural area of Ohio, and those Chinese UTVs are seen around here used in farm chores. They are fair, but not great quality, but you get what you pay for. Using one of them for military operations, no thanks, "I'll walk instead".
As an American it pains me to know that my government acts in the interest of bankers and billionaires. Many nations are justified in their feelings toward my government. China is not one!!! We have done nothing but support them.
Russia can laugh all it wants... until they remember that they were the ones that built that tank and sold it to the Chinese. And considering the state of the Russian tanks in Ukraine when put into an actual war zone it's a miracle that only a single part fell off.
Hina itself is garbadge and even though they stretch how there economy is doing stating its good truly it really isnt there economy is eating it hard… this is do to the fact a lot of countries have stopped buying from them and a lot more things are being made and bought in other countries.
"Almost on the sprocket." Dude, the sprocket is at the _back_ of the tank - that's the toothed wheel that is connected to the transmission and the engine and moves the track around. It's the _first roadwheel_ right behind the _idler wheel_ (the unpowered wheel at the very front of the hull, which redirects the track downwards and backwards) that came off. Note that there _are_ tanks that have sprockets at the front, but that's only either because they have a front engine (like the Israeli Merkava) or because they have a transmission that runs almost the full length of the hull, from the back engine compartment to the front (like the M4 Sherman - and that transmission is the reason why that tank was so tall in the first place). Not the case of the Type 96B.
On the one hand I want to snigger, but I'm from the UK and remember that time the Challenger II was a laughing stock. We redeemed ourselves a year or two ago and won but still... I honestly feel sorry for their crew, it must be so frustrating for their vehicle to fall apart like that.
I can't believe a lightly armored golf cart didn't turn the tide in Russia's favor. The Ukrainians probably thought they were being attacked by the Florida Retiree's 73rd Assault Brigade.
Most o f the nations that either directly or illicitly support Russian and/or Chinese aggression or subversion of principles of freedom are well known. However, what really needs to be called out far more often are the duplicitous roles played by the Indian and South African governments - mostly due to corruption, snide complicity or incompetence at the highest level!

Defective steel used it making bolts and nuts, most likely. They sheared off under stress and broke off.

Their adherence to cults of personality bothers me. Rasputin, the tzars, Putin, etc. Their record of human rights abuses also leans me towards disliking them. Too pushy, too bossy, and too duplicitous (the entirety of WW2 they were merely allies of convenience and nothing more in any respect).
🤡🤡🤡
Deep down (6 feet) they’re not such bad people 😂
The fact the Cv 90 isnt even close to the technological top is whats funny. The CV 90 is the Western version of ,,Cheap, reliable, easy to fix"
👉I live in China 🇨🇳. Everything is so miserable here, but no one dares to complain.
Seriously, if there is next life, I wish to be born anywhere in the world, except China.
That is a bit sad , but CCP ruin China not you or Chinese people ! Move out if you can , many Chinese move here to the UK , They are free here and happy !
Bigsmoke 109 here living in China also.
you tried bot, if it had been a Chinese account the username would have been different as it was registered on the Asian server. Take your propaganda elsewhere
I can think of plenty of other places that are much worse..
I doubt this, you would be dead by now
155 mm shells are not ‘dual use’…
I recall Russia using Chinese tyres on their wheeled launchers during an offensive - the tyres all burst as it did not meet specs and load bearing abilities, so the Russians had to abandon them in the fields and it got towed away by the Ukrainians.
That's what you get for buying Chinese junk
That was because theybwere cheaply made Chinese garbage, but also because the Russian military has zero logistical capability and didn’t rotate the vehicles that were in the sun. That’s why only one side lost their tires on most vehicles.
That was Chinese manufacturers taking sides with Ukraine.

But they were really cheap and some general could pocket the remaining money to buy a new yacht...
Hard to weaponize tofu....but what would the PLA know, they've never had anything but a border battle.
Tbf, they TRIED in Vietnam. 😂 Went about as well as you'd expect.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow and Korea I would assume, but considering we are technically still at war with NK, wouldn't the PRC also be included?
Even Chinese Military Vehicles & Equipment are made of TOFU!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What you say, out mild steel bolts are of the finest quality!
I’ve seen tofu with far greater structural stability than what China makes.
I can see Taiwan invading China, not the way around.
Its okay, tanks perfectly match an equally tofu army. As UN peacekeepers in Africa, they ran away from terrorists to withdraw behind civilians. If you're not in china, you can search this.
The fact China has not been fully sanctioned for violating the anti war sanctions is a sin.
NEVER BUY CHINA GOODS EVER AGAIN ...I will never buy anything from them again
It is called Realpolitik - shitty ATV's and chemicals for ammo or drone parts is allowed and medical kits and even ammo pouches - but no Dong Feng DF-21 ballistic missiles.
There are lines that cannot be crossed - even the Iranians know this.
But it's OK for the US and others to pump mass amounts of weapons into Ukraine? China is Russia's ally. That's what they are supposed to do
@@curtisducati Well I'm not buying any Apple products.
but on the other hand it's like giving your enemy tissue paper body armor and defective equipment.
Even with China's help, the mighty Russian superpower still struggles against the little tiny Ukraine military.
Nato and US volunteers and equipment. Including but not limited to 55 billion in US military aid. Tiny Ukraine indeed.
Not according to the occupied territories.
The Ukrainian military is 2nd largest in Europe you dunce.
The Ukrainian military is tiny? What do you consider normal sized then?
Year two of three-day special military operation
the quality of low quality steel is amazing.
its horrible steel.. like 1900 bad lol... We could take that China in 3 months
I feel like the reason why Chinese construction workers are able to build so fast in just under a week is due to poor quality of materials and treatment of workers.
They lack metallurgy.
The quality of the iron ore they got are pretty good from Australian mines. Them cutting corners in producing steel at their own factories and marketing it as high grade steel is their own failing.
@@penitent2401 yep. that's my suspicion.
China has an advance tank. It can self destruct when it is captured by enemies.

This whole tofu dregs thing has become quite the meme. Shop like a billionaire at Temu!
They are made in China, what are you expecting?
Interesting information, but if you used static shots of the sources that provided theses bits of news and information, instead of the random b-roll (Lord of War? Seriously?), more people would take you seriously.
If you wanted to be more dynamic, like, show the countries being mentioned on maps, or highlight text from a given source as it's being mentioned, that would be something people are looking for.
As these videos stand, I cannot watch them because i know the footage is irrelevant to the information being spoken. More than that though, I know the visuals are misleading because they only marginally relate to the information; body armor as an illustration of what body armor looks like, fine, but who the hell knows where that footage came from or what it's showing?
I LIKE the news reading. The video is TERRIBLE.
Quality Control is an unknown term in china
I used to work for two China MNCs and I can confidently tell you quality control is non-existent over there. 😆
We have nothing to worry about folks. China is making glorified golf carts for the Russian army and for the PLA to use them against Taiwan!😂
Military golf carts are scary
“Isn’t that a golf cart?” Was the first thing I thought when I saw it.
I said the same thing China is sending golf carts to Russia to fight in a war that is the funniest thing I've ever seen not even Japan would have used that in World War II
Sketchy is better
You so funny
Stupid Putin he is ruining there chances against a HUMA etc , omg a Chinese built Russian defence golf kart hahahahahaha
Would love for the US to let China import one of their main battle tanks to UKRAINE to see how they would do with the Ukrainian boys and girls, lol .. I would love to see how that armor holds up to an American made javelin.. UKRAINE has become the real test for weapons that were designed, produced in the mid-90s. Imagine what we have now.. lol
Certified Made in China moment
The U.S. should curtail trade and interaction with Chinese Colonial Regimes, such as Egypt and South Africa.
7,62x54R has been used soon 150 years and of course manufactured too. Funny that they still had ptoblems to produce small arm ammo.
Yeah thats not an indication anything good is going on in Russia as far a Military industrial manufacturing in concerned....
They couldn't make their own ball point pen until 2017.
130+ years, it was adopted in 1891.
Good round............ in 1891
Russia makes plenty of ammo itself most of this video is nonsense
You know its bad when even the reds are laughing.
Reds wannabe, which is even more pathetic.
What the Ukrainian groups couldn't do...the Chinese suppliers will lol. This is better then any espionage actions.
Many Chinese firms would totally arm both sides, but Beijing wouldn't allow it if they could help it
0:31 my guess, a vehicle which is named „desert cross“ was probably not designed to be used in muddy winter.
For me it looks like a „better“ golf cart.
Made in china😂
And if you go back to the ebay listing, you realize "returns not accepted"
Didn't China already get several hundred of the US HMMWVs from Afghanistan when potato head pulled our troops out without taking our military equipment??!!! They should have been able to reverse engineer that by now!!! And that was the last generation of troop carrier!!
you can't reverse engineer a production line easily .
@@TremereTT You really don't understand engineering nor how production lines work do you??!!!
They have their own IFVs, APCs, and other equivalents. They just didn't give them to Russia.
With the level of corruption and grifting in both countries, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had cardboard body arm but paid for ceramic
1:18 yeah your better off buying a Civilian ATV from the U.S. market.
I'm curious why the combat golf cart needs 92 octane gas. AFAIK, it's only needed for high-performance engines because of the pressure & heat in the cylinders.
Feel bad for the ones in charge of repairs for that tank. Going to be doing lots of hard labour.
And then he still has to do the repairs.
except the mechanic probably had nothing to do with it. If the bolt was loose sure fine, but if it was a bolt that sheered off cause the metal wasn't to spec it's nothing to do with him. If he bolted it in place and torqued it down to spec and it failed under load i mean whatchagonnado
Treat a tank like that, and you are lucky if you only shear off a road wheel. I'm not convinced this is an example of bad design, and I love to diss both Chinese and Russian quality of their military equipment.
Since China is supplying military assistance to Russia, why does Biden invite Xi Jinping to dinner in San Francisco, attended by Elon Musk, the chief of Blackrock, Tim Cook of Apple, etc? Who the hell is running the show?
And just who's side are they on?
No, I'm not a fan of Trump, (nor Biden)
Because that tofu drej equipment helps to weaken Russia.
@F8Tributo: "And just who's side are they on?"
Not mine (or yours) that's for sure...........
FYI, nothing is bullet proof. Bullet resistant is the most you can hope for. Or don't be where bullets are flying. And bullets vary in energy, size, composition. Mach 5 tungsten is admirable. Mach 5 DU is devastating.
Bullet proof and bullet resistant are LITERALLY the same thing.... 😂
I do get a kick when the algorithm gives credit to a rebuttal to me! Fucking machine is stupid.
bullet proof implies capability to not be affected by bullets.
@@ArtificialDjDAGX Implies is a good point. Having watched many tests, it is apparent that even though the projectile didn't penetrate through the vest, it deformed enough to kill the wearer. Again it is best to avoid being where the bullets are flying!

"International army games"...Which countries does participate in that again? Russia, China, Belarus and all former Soviet republic nations😂
Nothing but a fun get-together of the top dictatorships in the world...
Golf carts? They're selling Russia combat golf carts?
At least american gators have gun racks lol
Military golf cart.
The tank is good example of China quality. Not only is consumer products trash, seems like the military products are the same poor quality.
Title appreciation comment 😂😂
I mean, China isn't exactly known to make high quality stuff I suppose.
It's hard to decide what title is appropriate for this video revelation :
"Blind leading Blind" ; or, "Dumb and Dumber" ; or,
"Spy vs Spy."
Ok, to recap, a wheel fell off a Chinese tank in 2020, and China sold Russia some side by side ATVs. This leads you to conclude that the poor performance of Chinese land vehicles in Russian service led to China supplying Russia with shells instead. Then you just go into talking about who's supplying Russia with what for 10 minutes. My advice is you tighen it up into a more cohesive structure and have an overall thesis you're trying to make
Tofu material and build, like everything else.
Testing of fasteners / bolts and other components are important.The cost of the US military can seem unusually high, I know because while working for defense contractors, I saw first hand how many requirements of parts had pages and pages of documentation for the specs with serial numbers, much like the airplane industry does too.I knew an inspector who went to jail for falsification of military hardware documentation.Testing and the procedures costs time and money. It`s nothing like most commercial manufacturing. This sounds like material failure and not a design fault.
My money is on fake specs and cheap materials.
So the Chinese gunpowder sucks as well 🤔🤔 who would have thunk it 😂😂😂
It's no better than anyone else's, thats for certain.
I have never had problems with my American made ammo 😀
Sounds like Chinese primers and powder are Shyt
Tofu bullets, tofu tanks, tofu planes, tofu helmets and so on. China is making good money and Russia getting bad quality 😅
Given the current quality of Chinese made goods lately, perhaps the Russians should be careful about using any of it.
So what's wrong with Russia getting munitions from China Ukraine is getting stuff from all over the world
A road wheel coming off on a tracked vehicle, is either a sign of an untrained crew who did maintenance on the vehicle and failed to put it back together again or broken components. Either way, China should have not had this embarrassing display.
You underestimate a country's system that rewards cheap short cuts with so many corners cut that it becomes a detriment to them.
China is utterly incompetent. The vast majority of everything they’ve ever made is based on stolen technology and schematics. Even when something is of national importance they fail to do a quality job
That's not exactly true. I had the idler shear during a field exercise. No maintenance issues, no apparent cause. (M60A3)
It is the OceanGate syndrome. Why use military grade wielding if you can use hardware store epoxy glue.
@@aquarius5719 All tanks break, especially if you "General Lee" jump them.
Is this modern armor with Chinese characteristics? I guess Comrade Xi signed off on these weapons. LOL
The fact that China sells cheap equipment to Russia is a great strategy for China as it helps achieve at least three objectives:
1) Reduce Russia Military & wealth str with crap equipment
2) wasting US high grade military weapons arsenal on China cheaply made equipment.
3) Study the US military equipment & come up with counter measures if possible.
#3 will never happen since their own counter measures are going to be Tofu. China has stolen some parts of the F22 and F35 documentation and still fails to make a stealth aircraft opting to make low observable self crashing planes instead.
The US military equipment used against Russia in Ukraine is from the 1980's and early 1990's, which is exactly how daft the PLA would be to "prepare" for it. 😂😂😂
Sudden realization: Top-of-the-line quality control standards in WW2 surpass modern chinese quality control standards
Modern day American too.
The falling apart tanks are just there to distract from their unstoppable autogyro fleet.
The russians are just happy that it's someone else's equipment falling apart for once!
What's more ironic is that their Soviet equipment still hold up today. Russia desperately wants an army like ye olden Eastern Bloc era but they can't go back to total communism.
@@thientuongnguyen2564 They could, it's just that "throw more bodies at the problem until it goes away" doesn't work in the modern battlefield. And soviet equipment, while well constructed, is pitifully inadequate against current military technology.
As got anything Russia puts out now, it's the design philosophy of "fancy tech == good vehicle" which is just not true when that tech is so poorly maintained it doesn't work.
Incredible color! Pink Tank = win because of weirdness.... Imagine u have to hide somewhere. Does it glow in the night?
They saw the old carey grant film "operation petticoat" and were inspired.
"Inadequate protection..." no s@it, its a golfcart
You have to wonder how in the world Russia is paying for this stuff. Remember they have a GDP somewhat below that of California. Am from and now live in a rural area of Ohio, and those Chinese UTVs are seen around here used in farm chores. They are fair, but not great quality, but you get what you pay for. Using one of them for military operations, no thanks, "I'll walk instead".
In a weird way, the chinese are helping out Ukrainians xdd
As an American it pains me to know that my government acts in the interest of bankers and billionaires. Many nations are justified in their feelings toward my government. China is not one!!! We have done nothing but support them.
LOL riding into battle on a fake hummer quad bike thing ; /
Russia can laugh all it wants... until they remember that they were the ones that built that tank and sold it to the Chinese.
And considering the state of the Russian tanks in Ukraine when put into an actual war zone it's a miracle that only a single part fell off.
Hina itself is garbadge and even though they stretch how there economy is doing stating its good truly it really isnt there economy is eating it hard… this is do to the fact a lot of countries have stopped buying from them and a lot more things are being made and bought in other countries.
"Almost on the sprocket."
Dude, the sprocket is at the _back_ of the tank - that's the toothed wheel that is connected to the transmission and the engine and moves the track around. It's the _first roadwheel_ right behind the _idler wheel_ (the unpowered wheel at the very front of the hull, which redirects the track downwards and backwards) that came off.
Note that there _are_ tanks that have sprockets at the front, but that's only either because they have a front engine (like the Israeli Merkava) or because they have a transmission that runs almost the full length of the hull, from the back engine compartment to the front (like the M4 Sherman - and that transmission is the reason why that tank was so tall in the first place). Not the case of the Type 96B.
The all terrain vehicle looks like an oversized golf cart.
Ha ha
On the one hand I want to snigger, but I'm from the UK and remember that time the Challenger II was a laughing stock. We redeemed ourselves a year or two ago and won but still... I honestly feel sorry for their crew, it must be so frustrating for their vehicle to fall apart like that.
Snigger? Lmao, you mean snicker right? 😂
@@Xtoxinlolinecronomicon Nope it's snigger. A normal word in the UK. I could tell you now to stop sniggering, that's how it is used :)
@@andreivaughn1468 Huh, really. Well, thanks for letting me know.
Then there’s also the Chieftain tank, designed to run on any fuel, but hardly ran on anything

😂MADE IN CHINA😢 BOUGHT BY RUSSIA 😅
Russia uses 152mm shells? NATO uses 155mm
Funny enough, we use 120mm on tanks and russia uses 125mm. We still have more penetration and power somehow lol
I can't believe a lightly armored golf cart didn't turn the tide in Russia's favor. The Ukrainians probably thought they were being attacked by the Florida Retiree's 73rd Assault Brigade.
Most o f the nations that either directly or illicitly support Russian and/or Chinese aggression or subversion of principles of freedom are well known. However, what really needs to be called out far more often are the duplicitous roles played by the Indian and South African governments - mostly due to corruption, snide complicity or incompetence at the highest level!
Buy two chinese tanks get a free soda or egg roll😂
That shitty jeep looks like a damn Lego
Little one look like john deere gator clone 😂😂😂😂

just wanna mention that this happens to tanks a lot, that they malfunction or parts break. they are not as reliable as media makes you think.
