  • It’s the evening of August 17th, 1950, near the city of Pusan, in South Korea. UN forces have been pushed back from the moment they became involved, going from just south of Seoul to cornered against the sea in Pusan in just a month. The North Koreans are equipped with Soviet T34-85s, which outnumber and outgun the American tanks, leaving the soldiers fighting them with bazookas or no anti-tank weapons at all. Lieutenant Granville George "GG" Sweet leads a four tank platoon of M26 Pershings, which have
    been performing well in the defense of Pusan, but is about to face the tank that has been dominating the battlefield in the last month. An urgent message arrives through the radio, "Flash Purple!" incoming enemy armor. Sweet and his crew prepare for combat and engage in a fierce tank battle against the T34-85s. They form a wall across a road and aim straight ahead as the enemy approaches. Fullerton takes his position, when suddenly a T-34 rounds the corner before him.

    I'm a 71 yr old woman and retired truck driver who began watching RUclips videos of gardening and such to find a hobby to fill my days. I was curious when one of your earliest videos showed up in my feed. I was impressed and shared it with my son. A few months later I went to visit him, his girlfriend and her 9 yr old son. Being a typical 9 yr old, he loves anything military, especially aircraft and was excited to show me his collection. He began to tell a story and demonstrating maneuvers. It didn't take long for me to realize that he was telling one of your stories. When he finished I asked if he got it from Yarnhub. When he realized I liked you too, we spent the time before dinner to rewatch a few of his favorites. My son told me recently that he has shown interest in other areas of history and is reading above grade average. You and your team have lite a spark. Your love of history shows in every episode. Thank you

    The M26 Pershing really was quite the overmatch for the T-34-85. It's frontal armor was essentially impenetrable to the 85mm gun and there was essentially no range that the M26 could realistically hit the T-34-85 that it wouldn't penetrate unless the shell struck at a very unlucky angle (as happened sometimes with older conventional full-caliber style AP projectiles). However, the M26 were very few in number as their production was very short lived due to the end of WW2 so there were only a little more than 4,500* ever made due to the lack of a need. Once the Korean War kicked off the M26's replacement, the M46 (which was just a Pershing with a lot of improvements) was already in production so there wasn't a need for more M26s to be made. In fact a lot of M26s were busy being converted to M46s (yes the tanks were that similar that the older M26s could simply be updated to the M46 standard).
    For a bit of a comparison in hard stats (these don't tell the full story but they'll give you an idea of why things unfolded the way they did).
    Frontal Hull Armor (effective thickness):
    -Pershing: 155mm (102mm inclined at 42 degrees)
    -T-34-85: 90mm (45mm inclined at 30 degrees)
    Frontal Turret Armor (effective thickness)
    -Pershing: 216mm+ (102mm mantlet, 114mm underlapping turret face, spall shield of unspecified thickness)
    -T-34-85: 180mm (90mm mantlet, 90mm underlapping turret face though coverage was to a lesser degree)
    Maximum Armor Penetration (best AP shell available, only using data at shared test ranges):
    -Pershing (T33 AP): 211mm at 100m, 200mm at 300m, 193mm at 500m, 178mm at 1000m, 174mm at 1500m, 150mm at 2000m, 139mm at 2500m, 128mm at 3000m
    -T-34-85 (BR-365): 119mm at 100m, 115mm at 300m, 111mm at 500m, 102mm at 1000m, 93mm at 1500m, 85mm at 2000m, 76mm at 2500m, 70mm at 3000m
    There are also other factors like the Pershing being considerably less cramped than the T-34-85, having actually pretty good sights for it's time (unlike the T-34-85), being an exceedingly stable platform due to it's design and weight, having decent commander's sights (again, for the time), etc.
    There are a lot of soft factors that go into why a tank is successful and they're often have a greater impact than strict hard stats if the tanks are even roughly comparable. Unfortunately by the standards of their day, they were not even remotely comparable even if the difference seems minimal to us by modern standards were tanks are armored to resist shells with 600-800mm+ penetration values. It's all about context.
    The M26 Pershing crews back then also had absolutely no way of knowing this. They likely knew that their tanks was pretty good, they might've even known that it was likely better than their opposition...but there is simply no way that they logically could've assumed that their vehicles were that much better because assuming something like that and turning out to be wrong is how you get yourself killed. It is always safer to assume that you're at best on par with your enemy when it comes to such things. After all, making such assumptions when you don't know is simply laughing in Death's face and asking him not to laugh back.
    As a final note there is also one last very important thing to touch on. The M26 Pershing was "practically" frontally impenetrable to the 85mm D-5T anti-tank gun the T-34-85 carried. However, there were two weak spots where it likely would've been capable of penetrating at close range. These weak spots are actually quite infamous. The bow machinegun port in the hull and the coaxial machinegun port in the turret. Both incredibly small targets but important to note regardless. There's also the obvious factor that none of this matters if they got to the M26's side because it's armor was only 76mm on the sides, still much greater than the T-34's but still completely vulnerable. No tank is invulnerable, no tank has ever been invulnerable. Some tanks have just been notably harder to kill in their time.

      Tldr the T-34-85 is a medium tank, with rushed production and design due to the brutal war going on when it was designed. The M26 is a heavy tank produced very late into a war that was already guaranteed to be won by the point it was made, and had many amentities unavailable to the 85. Both North Korean and UN tankers were both extremely brave and fought hard with both machines

      О настоящем геноциде, который принято не замечать
      Одно из самых любимых обвинений, которые выдвигают пропалестинские демонстранты - это обвинение в геноциде мусульман в Израиле. Давайте я вам расскажу, что такое настоящий геноцид мусульман. Против которого почему-то сотни тысяч людей не выходят на демонстрацию.
      Да. Я про геноцид уйгуров в Китае.
      Огромное количество уйгуров и других граждан Китая, исповедующих ислам, заключают в трудовые «Лагеря перевоспитания». Все это делается без проведения следствия, без решения суда, без предъявления обвинений и каких-либо ограничений срока пребывания. Китай уничтожил тысячи мечетей. Кстати, халяль в Китае преследуется. Мужчин арестовывали за ношение бороды, а женщин - за покрытую чадрой голову. Один уйгур был отправлен в «центр перевоспитания» после того, как он закрыл свой ресторан на время рамадана: это, как было сказано в документе, свидетельствовало об «опасности экстремистских мыслей». В лагеря отправляли уйгуров, совершивших хадж, или поездку в какую-либо исламскую страну.
      Но это еще цветочки. Сотни тысяч детей были разлучены со своими родителями и отправлены в специальные школы-интернаты, где из них пытаются сделать «настоящих китайцев». Некоторых мусульманских женщин насильно стерилизуют. Распространены и принудительные аборты.
      Нет? Ничего не ёкает у вас, любители слогана про реку и про море? Судьба почти 35 миллионов мусульман вас не беспокоит? С плакатами «От Синьцзяна до Тибета для уйгуров будет лето» на площадь выйти не хотите?
      А теперь давайте в Израиль перенесемся и посмотрим, как живут тут мусульмане. Никто мечети в Израиле не сносит. Никаких препятствий для ислама не существует. Мусульманские кладбища не оскверняются. Почти все надписи в стране на трех языках - на иврите, английском и арабском. Четыре арабские партии имеют своих представителей в Кнессете. И был случай, когда именно голоса арабских депутатов решили судьбу правительственной коалиции. На нужды арабского сектора из бюджета страны ежегодно тратятся миллиардные суммы.
      Арабы освобождены от службы в армии. Хотя бедуины, например, служат - они отличные следопыты. Кстати, специально для бедуинов Израиль построил семь «городов развития».
      Добавлю, что израильские друзы не принимали участия в жестоких столкновениях между евреями и арабами. А многие записались добровольцами в создаваемую израильскую армию. И ни одна друзская деревня не была разрушена или выселена.
      Законодательством Израиля установлено, что государственные телевизионные каналы Израиля должны часть эфирного времени выделять для передач на арабском языке (или обеспечивать перевод ивритоязычных передач). В ивритоязычных школах с седьмого по девятый классы преподают арабский язык. При этом все желающие могут продолжить изучение арабского до 12-го (выпускного) класса и сдать выпускной экзамен по арабскому языку.
      Рождаемость у мусульман в Израиле выше, чем в соседних Ливане, Египте, Иордании и Сирии. Не очень вяжется с геноцидом, правда? За последние десять лет число арабских студентов в вузах Израиля увеличилось на 82%. Каждый шестой учащийся в стране - представитель арабской общины. Специализируются в основном в сфере здравоохранения (дипломированные медсестры) и образования (24%). За ними следуют медицина (16%), бизнес-менеджмент (15%) и гуманитарные науки (14%).
      Не буду врать - еврейское и арабское население Израиля почти не пересекаются. Но это происходит, прежде всего, по желанию самих арабов. Но область, в которой арабы и евреи активно пересекаются - здравоохранение. 20% врачей, 25% медсестер и медбратьев и 50% фармацевтов в стране - израильские арабы.
      Пандемия коронавируса стала поводом для еще большего сближения. Арабские и еврейские медики создавали совместные бригады. Арабы очень боялись, что после 7 октября евреи будут им мстить. Но никто в Израиле не призывает к мести.
      И еще два слова про геноцид. До середины ХХ века в арабском мире проживало около 820 000 евреев. Сейчас там не осталось практически никого. Евреев выгоняли из своих домов, их имущество отбирали, многих убили. Вот, что такое геноцид. А два миллиона арабов, проживающих сегодня в Израиле, являются доказательством того, что никто геноцидом в стране не занимается.
      Сегодня идет война с террористами, а не с мусульманами.

Mobility, especially the ability to traverse hilly terrain, is what counted the most, and the Sherman had that above even the Soviet-made T-34/85. Using HVAP, the Shermans M1 76 mm gun also out-ranged the D5T 85mm gun on the T-34, and was more accurate. However, it was leadership, training, doctrine, logistics, and close air support that accounted for the reason(s) why, in the August-September 1950 battles along the Naktong river in SE Korea, why the Shermans creamed the DPRK armor.

The whole British Commonwealth, US, half of Europe, and even Colombia and Ethiopia were backing South Korea, while China and the Soviet mercenaries were backing the North. I sometimes refer to it as "World War 2.5", because of just how influential, wide-ranging and huge in sheer size it was.

    The Pershing's was so powerful it over penetrates the armor ironically making it ineffective at killing the enemy in one hit. Though that T-34-85 is already combat ineffective from that first hit because the shell that over penetrated had likely turned the turret crew into minced meat.

      I mean it wasn’t really that powerful.Pershing’s gun when firing standard APBC rounds had very similar performance to 88mm mounted on Tiger I.Though it had much stronger tungsten cored rounds high velocity rounds than Tiger I such as T33 and HVAP,but they were rather rare in quantity.

Its like thinking m1 garands in ww2 arent as powerfull as they were because they dont penetrate as much when firing standard ball which forgets that almost everyone had ap and were firing ap so theres no reason to expect them not to be firing ap cause ap was everywhere. Its also is easy to forget that the 75mm sherman had a better gun than the 76mm and the tiger because it makes alot of shrapnel which is the point because your fighting infantry not tanks. It is also easy to forget that those ordnance bureau like to under powder rounds so the barrels lasts longer. Bad comparisons happen all the time with American stuff.

    Do not take the comparison seriously: the T-34 was handed over as an outdated weapon. T-34 = M4.
    The USSR already had the T-44 and T-54. The T-54 was superior to the M26 and caused panic if it was delivered to Korea.

    The pershing had huge advantage over the t34 85 in terms of fire power armor ergonomics. It was heavy vs medium tank

      pershing is medium tank, tha thing was intended to replace aging sherman. also, US didnt field any heavy tank during both korea war and WW2 (i dont think Jumbo is considered "heavy tank" by US Army)

      @@drmaulana2600 The Pershing was considered a heavy tank by US Army standards and they even fielded a modified variant called the SuperPershing with an even more powerful gun. It was never meant to replace the Sherman which was readily upgraded with HVSS and the 76mm cannon. The US Army did not feel the need to replace it as a medium tank.

      T-34 armor quality and welds: "OH FUCK, OH SHIT"
      The crew really got showered in splinters like it's 1941 all over again with PzIV's caving in their driver's hatch.
