The Russobots will be absolutely CROWING over the moon about this one Abrams capture, glossing over the fact that Russia is the number one supplier of Ukrainian armour.
That was in the past but things have changed now and we only rarely see ukraine capturing something from russia. Also you can see how the ukrainians were excited with the T90 unlike with the abrams and leopard.
Schrödingers vatnik: Russia simultaneously can easily take on all of NATO and capturing a single 40 year old NATO tank is as spectacular as capturing a flying saucer.
So Ukraine got a tank Russia and India considered front-line as recently as 2022, and Putin got a tank that America considered front-line in 1991. I'll take that deal all day! Plus, it looks like the T90S came with full bells and whistles, so it'll be quite valuable as an example of the best Russian industry can offer as of now, not to mention as an example of which sanctions may be being skirted and to what degree, which certainly seems like actionable intelligence.
orcs have many of those tanks, not dozens, they have hundreds. maybe in bad condition, maybe without full designed equipment - but they have a lot of them. and - when they are out, they become an equivalent tank from "friends". Thousand of tanks. Ukraine has got a few such tanks as Abrams, Leopards are probably all out, challengers - probably a few tanks left. Any of "friends" say nothing about a new delivery. DE sends ancient scrap and sends them from a year or more (and there are 10 tanks in delivery... its nothing - literally - NOTHING). USA - I haven't heard about any new deliveries, England - nothing, France - old half-tank, or something like light tank, used for nothing, lost probably all. Italy - nothing, and so on - nothing. The last delivery that really worth - were Polands t-72, t-72m and upgraded PT-91). Yes, this one Abrams is a big lose for UA. And t-90s is a half-version of t-90m, maybe this version is not so good even as new t-72b3 from last batch - this wasn't a good deal for UA.
Hopefully the jammer can be studied to learn how to best circumvent. I think these typically sniff the spectrum and switch on transmitters sending loud digital while constantly trying to follow the spread spectrum hops. If you know the lag and the weak transmission bands maybe you can go just a bit faster and stay around where the transmitters are least capable. It appears that for now, the cat and mouse has shifted in favour of the drone. Exploiting data compression, time division multiplexing, dummy data bands (enemy jams nonsense) and filter software that holds on last good values instead of doing a dumb thing.
@@mariusz2618absolutely hilarious cope lol, I’m guessing you forgot or ‘saw nothing’ of the Abrams coming from Australia?

Why not tell that to the soldiers given Soviet gear from the 1980’s… or conscripts given hardly functional rifles… or the tank crews being shoved into early model tanks with all their features stripped off and sent in as cannon fodder?

@@mariusz2618 West send Ukraine junk ,its just do it to push US arms industry ,like now in Croatia they will send Yugoslav M84 tanks and Croatia will buy Abrams instead.So Ukraine gets 40 year old tanks and US money for their Arms industry
@@mariusz2618 To be fair Ukraine relegated the western tanks to the reserves for nearly a year. They were reportedly struggling in the mud and were extremely high value targets that Russia would ignore everything else to kill making them highly unpopular to the crews. Obviously any even exchange is bad for Ukraine who is outnumbered, outgunned, and surrounded on three sides but it is hardly a win for Russia either 977 days into a war with the poorest nation in Europe who almost nobody expected to stand for more than a few months.
With the way most army mechanics complain about Abrams maintenence, and with Russias obvious lack of maintenance culture, I imagine it'll just be in red square and sold to china/potentially north korea
Well guys. We all know that Russia will just "copy" the engine of the Abrams and in the future crank out some new tank calling it..."T30" or something. Russia is that one special ed kid back in school who copies your school project and try to say that it was his own project.
@@mikeyjnsonthey'll be stuck as a parade piece. They won't have the capability to maintain or reverse engineer it at least until after the war or maybe a few years if the war's still ongoing. However, this is a maintenance and fuel hog and may not be worth it to put in the frontlines for Russia.
At least, the Abrams tank can’t be used by russia since they don’t have nato shells. A sad lost. I don’t know if there’s anything to learn from the t-90 , if not, Ukraine can use it
They don't care, that's not the point. What is important for them is that they now completely disassemble the tank to find all the weak spots and steal/copy our technology.
Crazy that parts of a chicken coup are an actual defensive layer on tanks these days. If you told a tanker that 20years ago or more they would have though you were insane.
Balanced? orcs have dozens of such t-90s, and thousands of t-90m and modern versions of t-72/t-80. UA have a few such modern tanks as Abrams,Leopard2 or Challenger. I think, they have really a few tanks left of them. It's not balanced. It's a sad and inacceptable lost. Rus have years to analyse those abarms - or sell it to China ,Korea or Iran. Ukraine has no time, no modern tanks, and no hope for a new delivery.
@@mariusz2618 If Ukraine has no modern tanks, how do they have Abrams, Leopards, and more on the way? And claiming they have "thousands of t-90m" is just nonsense lies. Can't you trolls do any better than this.
@homerj806 As funny as it would be to see T-34s in Ukraine I personally don't believe they're being put back into service, much less go to Ukraine. There are still hundreds more servicable Cold War-era tanks they could deploy first. Russia may be desperate but they cannot possibly be THAT desperate yet. But if I see footage of a destroyed T-34 I will cheerfully eat my words.
@@homerj806 Ain't no way the Russians would send T-34s anywhere near Ukraine. Don't you know they keep the good weapons like the T-14 and the SU-57 well behind enemy lines?
If they can exfiltrate it. Seems close to the frontline and a 73 ton vehicle that can't run under its own steam (I assume, since that would make the most sense as to why it was abandoned) takes some moving. Would they risk a good recovery vehicle to pull a tank that's useless to them? Meh, they're fairly dumb so they probably would give it a go.
The size of an Abrams tank round is 120mm and that of the T-90 is 125mm. That means, that Russian captured Abrams tank will not have any ammo for it and the captured Russian tank can still be used by Ukraine because they have both size rounds.
There are multiple visible hits to the left side of the turret. one that hit the turret cheek and knocked off a bunch of ERA and another on the side that caved the outside of the turret in and probably penetrated and knocked out the tank.
Actually I had this argument earlier on in the war. I always thought that the Abrams was a fuel pig. I was proved wrong. If you do the research (I'm Canadian so I used our Leopard for comparison) all these main battle tanks are in the same ballpark for fuel burn. It's not like the traditional diesel powered main battle tanks are getting 40mpg (random number) and the Abrams is getting 3mpg. It's not like that at all. If the Abrams was getting 10~15% less fuel mileage does that qualify it to be a "fuel pig"? Not in my opinion. Even when you talk versions of tanks it's subjective - early in the war there were reports that Ukraine tankers preferred the Leopard A1 over the A2 as the thought that the amour vs weight trade off was a good thing in the A1. Sometimes things are as they seem. Sometimes rumours that people accept as the gospel are just really old wives tales. It's always good to keep an open mind and do the research on the facts from the manufacturers (or reputable sources) and not the "trust me bro" side of the internet. FWIW.
@@SuperRede4u Except that the specs from the manufacturers are not facts but incomparable marketing tools based on totally different disclosure policies and no source either.
Imagine the “highly educated” Russkies trying to figure out how TF to operate the Abrams. It’ll get sent to Moscow so Putin can reverse engineer our 40-year-old technology 😂. 🇺🇸
And what will UA do with one, totally different, tank? What will this scrap change on the frontline? And this one Abrams could really help. For me - it's not acceptable, that such equipment was not self-destroyed. This is not the first time. UA just leave such equipments in dangerous situations, exactly the same as orcs. UA will not bekome even one such modern tank in next months. Ruskies will have many of such scrap as t-90s, every day they are loosing also t-90m.
The Russians already have had their hands on M1a1s for a while now through Egypt. There isn't really anything they can obtain from its capture that they already didn't know.
The T90 is shown working and driving (pretty speedy beast by the way). The Abrams looks very static to me. It will be towed and become part of Moscow tank museum permanent displays, as Russia can't fix it, nor even have NATO ammo for it anyway.
@@abrakadavra3193 The T-90s were always seen as one of the more decent tanks RU had to the point that Ukraine would try to snag one if it was possible (they're also impossible to produce in numbers nowadays since they used western tech that is now sanctioned). It was the T-72s and T-80s that were considered the inferior ones due to their construction (that ammo carousel in particular being the big issue). Also, many did criticize the idea of giving Abrams to Ukraine due to their maintenance hogging nature, especially the Type A1s that were supplied (especially due to lack of CHOBAM armor).
Well Australia is upgrading and sending 50 Abrams, so that’ll help. God knows why though, given that the Europeans (and formally Britain) have inflicted a punitive trade embargo on Australia for generations.
The Abrams doesn't look to be in a so good condition. The turret is missing reactive armor boxes on its left front side, and the reactive armor panel at the hind left side looks swollen. Probably the tank took damage, got disabled and was abandoned.
i think we lost 1 abrams to friendly fire in Iraq. who had 2500 t72s. How did russia screw this up so bad. They should have been able to run through ukraine. crazy. Just shows when people dont want to live under occupation, theyre tough to beat
0:32 "an eight-band fish" is a wrong translation of the acronym "РЭБ" ("радиоэлектронная борьба", "radioelectronic countermeasures", that is, ECM). "РЭБ" may sound _a bit_ like "рыба" ("ryba") which is "fish".
Ukraine can actually utilize that Trash-90. Unlike the Orcs with the Abrams they captured (they'll parade and rant and rave about this like they captured a B-21) who have... ZERO: Fuel spare parts trained crew on said equipment. Ammo Or any real viable way to use it other than a parade piece.
The Abrams is far more complicated to maintain than the stupid armata ever was and the armata got canceled so it’s highly unlikely. They will most likely parade it around as a trophy like that did with the other one because that’s all they can do with it. They can’t learn anything new from it because it’s a 40 year old mbt there’s nothing they can learn they don’t already know.
Maybe the T-90 for India has Air Condition, but no heating system 🤔 Anyway this one represents the peak of orc technology. On the other hand, the Russians might never get the Abrams to work as they have no ammo, spare parts and no manual in Russian language.
2:15 , look at the shadow, the guy is holding a bold action rifle? Or do I see something wrong ?It's a shadow, it can play tricks. It does not look like a shadow of an AK, much slimmer, no magazine
Can you imagine the fascists scratching their heads and trying to understand how to copy the Abrams? It should convince them the war is hopeless for them.
It seems russia stole most of the drawings of the Concorde. There were some that visited the factory that had special rubber on their shoes to absorb small pieces of metal to understand the alloy. They still failed to make a good supersonic passenger jet and one crashed in Paris in 1973.
That is the allegation. It is also claimed that the plans were deliberately doctored to make the plane unflyable in some way. The Russians then added some little stabilizers on the nose of the Tu-144 to actually make it work, iirc. I read an account from a Western journalist who took a flight in the "Concordski" when it was in passenger service. It was fast, but so loud he said he was deaf for a week.
The Tu-144 mostly failed die to lack of suitable engines. Those available were incapable of supercruise without the afterburning and too fuel-thirsty with the afterburning thus limiting the range. The plane itself was fairly good.
@@u2bear377 I heard someone say that the canard wings came because the designers failed with something. Someone from the Concorde team said it was a good idea and that it would have been good had the Concorde had such. I think they were complicated back then, it was another control surface for which there was a separate control. If memory serves, I think the pilot of the plane failed to adjust them properly and then it crashed. I do remember that the engines were no good as you say. It seems to be true for practically all russian jet engines.
@@TheFrewah AFAIK, the Concorde wing leading edge's complex shape creates additional lift at low speed / high AOA to keep the aircraft's long nose up. The feature the Tu-144 lacks, so the canards are needed. The Soviets lagged behind with engines, especially high-performance ones.
@@TheFrewah There was a speculation that the crash may have something to do with that the Tupolev team tweaked the plane for higher performance before the fateful flight.
Honestly, great example why Mobile Suit Gundam is a better franchise than Star Wars. Capturing equipment is a reality. Both factions utilized captured equipment often.
Did I get it right. This is an export model which wasn’t sold or delivered to India perhaps. It could be that russia bought one back that it had sold. At least it doesn’t look like a bathysphere on the inside but you obviously need a helmet.
Beware that these tanks are not booby trapped or carry GPS locators transmitting their location. Put it straight into an underground faraday cage and very carefully examine it.
Surprise twist, the AFU intentionally let the tank be captured and put a tracking device on it. Mr. HIMARS and/or drones then attack. Trojan horse 2024
Russia know to make tanks but don't have the knowledge, industrial machine, electronics to duplicate any western tank. Armara was supposed to be a compilation of all best western technolgy... They made rougly 20 of them versus 2000 that were suppose d to be availaible in.... 2020 😂
It is a shame that Ukraini forces have not yet learned that, unlike ex-Soviet tanks, Western designs do not need to be abandoned if they can't immediately get back to safety, but can be closed up and rescue awaited inside. I guess it's hard to break the habit of having to bail which they learned from the fragility of their former mounts.
The Ruassians will now take apart the Abrahm to learn all it's secrets only to realzie they could never reporduce it with their stone aged production facilities and remaining work force.
This week alone the Russians have captured 1 fully loaded Abrams with Western jammers and Ukrainian ERA, and one Bradley fully intact. As well as taking out another Ukrainian Challenger 2 tank.
Gerasimov: "Tovarishch President, we have captured an Abrams tank that must have run out of fuel. We have filled it with diesel and are trying to start it for next year's May Day parade." VV: "#FML"
That Abrahms was probably made in 1989. After spending a year to take it apart and research it the Russians will conclude that they don't have the tech to copy it.
The T90 looked to be in excellent working order,, vs the Abrams, we did not see it move, had rust on the turret, Does ruzzia have parts in stocK? Its not like they can order parts off Amazon and DHL to ruzzia. = JUNK status = not a trophy
The Americans executed self destruct explosives when abandoning an Abrams in Iraq. Guess Ukrainians decided not to do it. However we need to keep tech and secrets, so the plea I made to give Ukraine great new equipment and tech, I take it back. Only old stuff.
I would really like an expert analysis on the intelligence value to the Russians of the capture of the Abraham's. This may be a more complex question than what a reasonably intelligent lay person could guess at and get right.
the US has 5,000 obsolete Abrahms in storage, why they are not in Ukraine is a total mystery
Disgrace,not a mystery really
Because maga republicans.
Well, we wouldn't want to "escalate" things over there.
They might be soon.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Abrams was abondoned because it ran out of gas, that turbine is a real gas guzzler and makes logistics challenging.
There are multiple visible hits to the left side of the turret. one that hit the turret cheek and knocked off a bunch of ERA and another on the side that caved the outside of the turret in and probably penetrated and knocked out the tank.
That was my thought also. I wonder if the AFU blew the electronics and optics on their way out?
Yes, for whatever reason the Ukrainians want 50 Abrams from Australia but not the fuel tankers, which are the world’s best. Doesn’t add up.

At least 30 year, possibly as old as 40 year M1A1.

Thank you 👌👍👏🏻👏🏻🇳🇱♥️🇺🇦♥️🇬🇧
Fantastic thanks again
What a Mad Max tank xD
Well Australia is upgrading and sending 50 Abrams, so that’ll help. God knows why though, given that the Europeans (and formally Britain) have inflicted a punitive trade embargo on Australia for generations.
The Abrams doesn't look to be in a so good condition.
The turret is missing reactive armor boxes on its left front side, and the reactive armor panel at the hind left side looks swollen.
Probably the tank took damage, got disabled and was abandoned.
i think we lost 1 abrams to friendly fire in Iraq. who had 2500 t72s. How did russia screw this up so bad. They should have been able to run through ukraine. crazy. Just shows when people dont want to live under occupation, theyre tough to beat
0:32 "an eight-band fish" is a wrong translation of the acronym "РЭБ" ("радиоэлектронная борьба", "radioelectronic countermeasures", that is, ECM).
"РЭБ" may sound _a bit_ like "рыба" ("ryba") which is "fish".
Finally! Thanks! I only came to the comments to find this!
Ukraine can actually utilize that Trash-90. Unlike the Orcs with the Abrams they captured (they'll parade and rant and rave about this like they captured a B-21) who have...
ZERO:
Fuel
spare parts
trained crew on said equipment.
Ammo
Or any real viable way to use it other than a parade piece.
The tanks given to Ukraine are Abrams M1A1. These are tanks from the 1980. In other words “old” tanks. Russia capturing one means nothing.
So the T-90s have jack-in-the-box turrets like their Soviet predecessors?
No. That's one of the main differences. It's actually a pretty tough tank, but it can be done with several drones.
Yall think they gonna reverse engineer the Abram’s when they barely can get the T-14 ARMATA down red square?
The Abrams is far more complicated to maintain than the stupid armata ever was and the armata got canceled so it’s highly unlikely. They will most likely parade it around as a trophy like that did with the other one because that’s all they can do with it. They can’t learn anything new from it because it’s a 40 year old mbt there’s nothing they can learn they don’t already know.
Remember what happend to the US Lend Lease Stuff to russia after ww2 .... it never got shown on 9 maj parades on the red square.
@@wolfgangemmerich7552 USSR and Russia are not same thing.USSR could produce anything ,Russia hardly produce anything
@@dzonikg So , tell me what happend to all the US Lend Lease stuff after WW2 ?
@@dzonikgUSSR could produce anything…except food for its people.
👍😊🇺🇦
I do hope they share serial number and factory date to get rate of production estimates.
Also count the Chinese content . Sanction China.
That T-90S looks quite new and well-maintained. Wouldn't be surprised if it showed up in Aberdeen in a year's time or something.
I like the UVC!
Game changer guys
Maybe the T-90 for India has Air Condition, but no heating system 🤔 Anyway this one represents the peak of orc technology. On the other hand, the Russians might never get the Abrams to work as they have no ammo, spare parts and no manual in Russian language.
The Abrahams tank has very complicated maintenance procedures
2:15 , look at the shadow, the guy is holding a bold action rifle? Or do I see something wrong ?It's a shadow, it can play tricks.
It does not look like a shadow of an AK, much slimmer, no magazine
I thought the same thing as well
Excellent observation. Certainly doesn't look like an AK to me. Could perhaps be an SKS or something, but still 😬
Can you imagine the fascists scratching their heads and trying to understand how to copy the Abrams? It should convince them the war is hopeless for them.
It seems russia stole most of the drawings of the Concorde. There were some that visited the factory that had special rubber on their shoes to absorb small pieces of metal to understand the alloy. They still failed to make a good supersonic passenger jet and one crashed in Paris in 1973.
That is the allegation. It is also claimed that the plans were deliberately doctored to make the plane unflyable in some way. The Russians then added some little stabilizers on the nose of the Tu-144 to actually make it work, iirc.
I read an account from a Western journalist who took a flight in the "Concordski" when it was in passenger service. It was fast, but so loud he said he was deaf for a week.
The Tu-144 mostly failed die to lack of suitable engines. Those available were incapable of supercruise without the afterburning and too fuel-thirsty with the afterburning thus limiting the range.
The plane itself was fairly good.
@@u2bear377 I heard someone say that the canard wings came because the designers failed with something. Someone from the Concorde team said it was a good idea and that it would have been good had the Concorde had such. I think they were complicated back then, it was another control surface for which there was a separate control. If memory serves, I think the pilot of the plane failed to adjust them properly and then it crashed. I do remember that the engines were no good as you say. It seems to be true for practically all russian jet engines.
@@TheFrewah AFAIK, the Concorde wing leading edge's complex shape creates additional lift at low speed / high AOA to keep the aircraft's long nose up. The feature the Tu-144 lacks, so the canards are needed.
The Soviets lagged behind with engines, especially high-performance ones.
@@TheFrewah There was a speculation that the crash may have something to do with that the Tupolev team tweaked the plane for higher performance before the fateful flight.
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Yeah, that T90s is more like a self-propelled gun than a tank now, the turret doesn't rotate so the gun can only fire straight forwards...
🇦🇺💙💛✌ 🇺🇦 Slava Ukraini!
If it’s a broken down Abrams then I doubt ruSSians will be able to keep it running.
Honestly, great example why Mobile Suit Gundam is a better franchise than Star Wars. Capturing equipment is a reality. Both factions utilized captured equipment often.
Did I get it right. This is an export model which wasn’t sold or delivered to India perhaps. It could be that russia bought one back that it had sold. At least it doesn’t look like a bathysphere on the inside but you obviously need a helmet.
Beware that these tanks are not booby trapped or carry GPS locators transmitting their location. Put it straight into an underground faraday cage and very carefully examine it.
Well that was not a good exchange.
Would think that high dollar gear sent to Ukraine would have a locator transmitter.
Surprise twist, the AFU intentionally let the tank be captured and put a tracking device on it. Mr. HIMARS and/or drones then attack. Trojan horse 2024
Russia know to make tanks but don't have the knowledge, industrial machine, electronics to duplicate any western tank. Armara was supposed to be a compilation of all best western technolgy... They made rougly 20 of them versus 2000 that were suppose d to be availaible in.... 2020 😂
It is worrying that the russhisty captured the Abrams. The russhisty will surely send it to the Chinese to study and disassemble.
Captured? Abandoned and looked at
Captured on video. :)
It is a shame that Ukraini forces have not yet learned that, unlike ex-Soviet tanks, Western designs do not need to be abandoned if they can't immediately get back to safety, but can be closed up and rescue awaited inside. I guess it's hard to break the habit of having to bail which they learned from the fragility of their former mounts.
Driving that tank home with cameras all over it may not be a good idea though if they are commercial grade it's not likely an issue
The Ruassians will now take apart the Abrahm to learn all it's secrets only to realzie they could never reporduce it with their stone aged production facilities and remaining work force.
This week alone the Russians have captured 1 fully loaded Abrams with Western jammers and Ukrainian ERA, and one Bradley fully intact. As well as taking out another Ukrainian Challenger 2 tank.
It must be quite a disillusionment for Russians troops when they come across Western weaponry which exceeds theirs even if its much older
Gerasimov: "Tovarishch President, we have captured an Abrams tank that must have run out of fuel. We have filled it with diesel and are trying to start it for next year's May Day parade."
VV: "#FML"
They already presented one in Moscow, if you missed. Together with the Leopard.
That Abrahms was probably made in 1989. After spending a year to take it apart and research it the Russians will conclude that they don't have the tech to copy it.
Exactly.
There were many things russian engineers could design but russian production lines could not make.
We dont give a fck about the T90.
The T90 looked to be in excellent working order,, vs the Abrams, we did not see it move, had rust on the turret, Does ruzzia have parts in stocK? Its not like they can order parts off Amazon and DHL to ruzzia. = JUNK status = not a trophy
The Americans executed self destruct explosives when abandoning an Abrams in Iraq. Guess Ukrainians decided not to do it. However we need to keep tech and secrets, so the plea I made to give Ukraine great new equipment and tech, I take it back. Only old stuff.
Your videos are always a delight. Thank you for your skill and creativity.🏝♀️🤸
haha bot comment
Profile click-bait generic comment. Avoid.
Bad exchange. Curious to know if the Russians are able to get it moving (without be towed).
I would really like an expert analysis on the intelligence value to the Russians of the capture of the Abraham's. This may be a more complex question than what a reasonably intelligent lay person could guess at and get right.
Sucho, it's A-brams, not AHbrams. No H in Abrams my man.
