We got our hands on the newest extreme ATV from Ukraine: the Atlas. We drove it through a lake and on top of a bunch of mountains to find out if it’s as rugged as they say.
Big thanks to Atlas industry for letting us drive the Atlas into a lake.

Hi guys. I'm from Ukraine and I'm very glad to see your overview.
To question why and where this one can be used - Kakhovka Dam was blown up, and huge amounts of water flooded more than 40 villages and sites. Water covered 2 floor houses up to the roof, and these Atlases were used for saving people. So they are extremely useful in such situations.
Слава Україні!
@@BRO_X_FISHING героям слава!!
We should tell people more about that this is actually rusia blew up the dam
What is engine in Atlas and what is it in Sherpa? I see two Sherpa bit I didn't see Atlas
not to mention it would be a good way to cross troops into Crimea via the wetlands to the northeastern tip of Crimea to establish a beachhead
These vehicles help a lot to evaluate people and animals from flood caused by destruction of the dam in Nova Kahovka.
rusia did this. They are the terrorists and their "country" shoud be annihilated
Giv me one picture of that!?
@@keeptryingtop The video shows the sherpa though, or am I wrong?

Coincidentally the same damn that Ukraine destroyed
This is one luxury apocalypse SUV.
Hi
Yup, in the luxury apocalypse wher gas is still abundant but everything else went to shit 😁
This is either an extremely situational utility vehicle, or a billionaires plaything.
@@CowLiver Works extremely well for rescuing people from flooded areas in Kherson
Ahaha, exactly. Ukraine also has a futuristic Nomad ATV. If Ukrainians are going to fight for survival, then only with comfort and dignity.
This has to be the best ATV ever designed. Absolute masterpiece of a machine. Bravo Ukraine 🇺🇦🇧🇬
Design stolen from Russian Sherp
@@catpervert Now Sherp is Ukraine
@@catpervert The Sherp all-terrain vehicle is based on a design developed in the late 2000s by inventor Alexei Garagashyan from St. Petersburg. One of his all-terrain vehicles was bought by Ukrainian entrepreneur Vladimir Shkolnik. Seeing the prospect of sales, Shkolnik created the production of all-terrain vehicles. In 2012, to finalize the concept to an industrial product, he created a design office in Kyiv.
@@ponvlad526 thank you
@@catpervert lol
Seeing this truck doing search and rescue today in the flooded regions of Ukraine, I'd say it's absolutely worth it's price tag.
I love the joke at the beginning when James says "the most capable off road vehicle ever" and its not a 1994 geo tracker. Classic James.
😂😂
The 4x4 LSI is way better off-road than it has any right to be. 😂
I have a pontiac sunrunner 1996 and I agree
Also not a toyota hilux

that's just a wheel with a chicken shed attached to it.
You'll see these drive-floating through the floodwaters in Kherson on a lot of France 24's coverage. Pretty remarkable boat / ambulance.
Yes, they took pictures and left👌🤡
Hi guys! I am sincerely glad that you like our Ukrainian all-terrain vehicle! I hope we also really like your F-16 fighter jets and A-10 Thunderbolt attack planes. I am a Ukrainian soldier. Thank you very much for your support! In God We Trust! Слава Україні! 🇺🇦🇺🇲

Crabbing is awesome... but so itchy
Crazy to see the car in the news at the moment while it's rescues people from flooding in Ukraine
It's not rescuing any one
It wouldn't be great for a warzone. Tires that squishy and big would get destroyed by any mines, grenades, etc., especially since the flooding ended up washing untold numbers of naval mines from the reservoir into the now-flooded lowlands.
Nonsense. Mines can not travel this much. They might get maybe 10 meters from place where they where installed.
This thing saves people lives kilometers from mines.
Maybe we'll see armored version of it for the army. That would be cool.

This is literally my backyard where I go wheeling this is so cool to see y'all getting out here to Utah, y'all should do an event next time y'all are here
Very timely. I just watched a video showing one in rescue service following the Nova Kakhovka dam disaster in Kherson.
So is it Ukrainian-Russian? Wasn’t it invented in Saint Petersburg ?
This vehicle was invented by a guy from Russia. Little latter Ukrainian guy bought all rights of this car. And launch production in Ukraine and Russia. Little later owner prohibited production in Russia. But Russia still produces this vehicle, without permission of the owner.
I live in northern Alberta and I see these around every now and then, the oilfield people use them to prospect and plan. They are perfect for up here because its very soft swampy ground.
I was just wondering to myself if Alberta O&G had thought about using these to get around during spring break up, or even more generally to navigate muskeg areas for site exploration. Guess I have my answer. Thanks.
So both the Atlas and the Sherp are made in Ukraine, apparently.
Both seems like a vehicle suitable for recovery work across all terrain. Even places like Pripyat or what's left of the Kherson floodplains.
Main difference seems to be that this thing turns the wheels, and a sherp is a skid steer
Sherp also stores fuel in its wheels
@@Decipher13 Ohh really? so how do they inflate and deflate the wheels completely at will if that were true? Did you learn this "fact" while smoking a bowl?"
@@gamersplaygroundliquidm3th526 Wheels are tires are different things.... you look dumb now

Oh shit James built up the confidence to drive again after he almost flipped a Subaru MO POWA BABUH
I love all the nervous laughter as soon as y’all got on the water. I’d be in the same boat.
Man, this thing looks awesome.
I was just doing evacuations in Kherson which was flooded after the dam breach, as water levels lowered and some vehicles could start entering the area we stopped operating in boats and the Ukrainians started using these - well i saw one at least. Not much room for people, but enough for a couple of stretchers.
I’ve become convinced that James is an absolute joy to work with, seems like someone I’d want to be my coworker.
He’s hilarious and it’s clear he makes everyone laugh all the time, but he also seems like the kind of guy that gives people compliments unprompted. He’s not one of those “funny” guys that puts other people down (except maybe Nolan lmao), instead he lifts others up and he does it in a hilarious yet completely genuine way.
Almost dying tends to do this to people, but we don't know if he was this way prior to his coronary. Great guy, now, either way.
I agree with your vision. It was quite different a few years back. In the early Donut- days i felt like a lot of the video's revolved around James his personality. And even though i love those old video's and the kind of energy James had back then, i'm really glad that life humbled him. We al loved his "Energy", but it was not healthy, hè was not healthy...
I'm so glad that after al these years he is still here, happier and healthier than ever. And i feel like the whole situation a few years back really accelerated his personal development in a good way. He seems so much more confident and genuine wich also gives space for other people to take. And because of that we get this cool duo of Justin and James! I love when these two guys make a video together. They look like two best friends in primary school every now and then 😂.
In the end it was all for a reason; health, wealth and great friendships 😊
Cheers from Kyiv! You guys are awesome!
Thanks for sharing the Atlas
I love these videos with Justin and James
james made justin giggle 🤣 bro was speechless
Justin and James doing stuff could be its own channel. I could watch them together doing random stuff all the time.
My favorite duo on this channel
Wow! That's amazing! I want it NOW!
Currently seen on news bulletins being used by Ukrainian rescue services rescuing people from the catastrophic flooding in Kherson...
Yes, I've seen a few clips of this vehicle going through floods!
And that was the reason of this "catastrophic flooding"?
@@kozyrev82 The usual - genocidal Russians...
although it's not clear at this time whether they were committing a deliberate crime against humanity scale war crime, or were trying to commit a smaller less dramatic war crime but incompetently destroyed the entire dam instead, the effect is the same. However, this thread isn't about genocidal Russians, it's about an amazing vehicle being used in anger right now, just as the reviewer above was wondering what it would be useful for.
@@kozyrev82your mom
@@fat_biker Funny how western propaganda works very well. Maybe some footage of "genocidal" russians destroying the dam? Why even russians should destroy dam to kill their people on new territories?

@krakov661 "Not a big improvement" You don't call all cars German because the first true motorized vehicle was German, even though most cars today have little to no difference on them. Sure you could probably call it Russian if all they did was change a few parts but the Atlas really looks like it was designed from the ground up with the good characteristics the Sherp had going for it and fixing the shortcomings on the way.
Justin been doin' shrugs with those Atlas tires by the look of them traps boy !!!
at this point im actually looking forward for the sponsor section of the vid, you guys are the best
Great to be seeing James back so often, you and Justin make a great team.
I think the biggest difference that sets this apart from the "Sherp" is that it actually has wheels that steer whereas the sherp uses a skid steer system
That’s for all the fully grown 19 year olds that can’t turn around a tank
@@Big.W. 🤣🤣
@@Big.W. The skid steering of the sherp would make far superior in the water as well plus I think they can have actual paddle tyres fitted specifically for that purpose.
@@djboogy3985 they have paddles stock. Sherp also doesnt cost 200 grand and it comes with Kubota engine not Renault lol

Loving the off road content
Imagine trying to explain to the cops you had no idea you ran over 3 people back there.
with 2 psi tires the people would probably barely notice xD
@@lucasmoriones22 on its contact point those tires are exerting enough force to keep a multiple ton vehicle of the ground. It could have 0 psi and still squash you like a bug.
@@AI-qd4vb thats just not true. It exerts... 2 psi of pressure at the contact point. And the tires deform such that the contact patch is large enough to support the truck at 2 psi. If they could deform enough it would no longer be at 2psi.
I'm not sure what the surface area of a human outline is. Just not one of those things I've had to calculate yet, so I can't give you a proper estimate on the weight you'd feel, but 2psi is pretty low, I really doubt it would crush you. And 0 psi would be hovering in the air. It legitimately impossible for that to crush you.
“I didn’t feel a thing officer”
@@crazy_mind-ox8if zero PSI means zero above normal atmospheric pressure, so I wouldn’t float, it could be riding on the rims actually.
I think this is the second most scared I've seen both James and Justin. First most scared was also in Utah this week in the Matt's Recovery rigs. Boys are learnin all about the pucker factor.
it looks so futuristic, love it :)
First of all, great video guys. And second, I think I would choose this over sheep 1200 but I would still choose the ark if I could
I love the Justin/James combo recently!

It really feels like this channel is in its golden age. They have expanded in some ways, have way more resources than ever before, but have kept the feel of what drew us all to Donut in the first place. Plenty of standard episodes coming out that are great, but then we get videos like this or the Brazil trip (plenty of others I could reference here) thrown it at a consistent rate. Firing on all cylinders
I like how it can float. I've had an irrational fear of drowning in a car since I was a toddler.
I think donut media is the only channel that can make a sponsor interesting
The weight of the vehicle is really impressive. Less than a lot of family SUVs today.
I don't know if this has been said, but it needs to be said, I really like new guy, he fits with the rest of the team really well.
The sherp can turn in water because it uses differential thrust plus it is more repairable and smaller so they both have their advantages.
love the renault gear stick

The thing I love most about donut is that no matter how they try you can right away tell where ad is so you can skip it
They don't "try" to make the ad indistinguishable from the actual video, that was never the objective. They try to make the ad fun and informative in which they're doing a fantastic job at.
@@netts2315 and what you should be doing is skipping the ad. why are you watching such bs?
@@valadezjose47 I never said I wasn't skipping the ads... Why are you assuming such BS? Then again some of the ads are relevant and I find use of them so they're not BS. I guess you're the type to rather spend six months and more money calling all the hundreds of different places that have your info to delete it, rather than using that one service that does it for you. Each to their own I guess.
@@netts2315 ALL ads are BS. all they are is trying to sell you a product. in return making it more expensive to the costumer because off all the money they dump on ads. Also lets not mention the fact that because these companies get payed for the ad you cant take their honest advice on the product. ALL ADS ARE CORRUPT
Does anyone know why this and the SHERP look so similar are they from the same manufacturer? I know they're both built in Ukraine
Because corrupt puppet state Ukraine stole the Russian design
They both are built in Ukraine, but different manufacturers
I think they look similar because they both use same principles that work: giant balloon tires with paddle style thread for mud and water, no suspension, and a big light cabin with lots of room. It seems they looked at sherp and thought, I'd rather have one with 4 wheel steering instead of skid steering and a bit longer for more room and better uphill stability, and went and built one.
Atlas activly competes against Sherp by working out some of the problems of the Sherp. Both are of the same class and have the same purpose, which is why they look similar.
Just a cheap Ukrainian copy of Russian atv that even Ukrainians don't buy😅.
Doing maintenance on it sounds like a fun weekend(s).
Well, the issue's here in that is at first was snow/swamp vehicle named SHERP, which was invented in Russia, and then Ukranian businessman came and start production. And now, because of war both countries make their own same vehicles but in different names (Russian variant calls Typhoon).
Holy fuck I remember when donut had their 1million subscribers video now they’re at 7 million that’s crazy
