@@fabiandimaspratamathesecond I would like to point out that 1965 and 1971 wars were instances when nato/western tanks fought each other. In 1965, indian M4A3, M4A4 and M4A4E4 sherman tanks alongside AMX 13, Centurion Mark 7 and old M3 stuarts fought against Pakistani M4A3, M4A4 and M4A4E6 shermans, M47/48 pattons and M36B2 jacksons. In 1971, same tanks against clashed but the number fielded was lesser than in 1965. BY 1971, Vijanyta (Vickers Mark 1 and license production) were also added to indian ranks.
@@fabiandimaspratamathesecond in about 1980, India considered AMX 30 among others for a new tank, but eventually settled on T72 which was then just coming into production.
maybe it neutralised the piezoelectric fuze of the earlier HEAT rounds becouse it cannot make electric contact with the metal of the armour and the fuze destroyed before the rubber cut from the penetration force and detonate the warhead ? its my theory!
Great video. My father participated in the mess that was Yugoslavian civil war and in his words Jackson was prefer in Bosnia due to mountainous terrain. High gun elevation and depression gave it ability to fight in terrain that was unlivable for soviet tanks.
I think few people know what happened to armored vehicles after the war in BiH. A larger number were allegedly cut and melted. But it is not. They were sold to collectors
Interesting. I was there during the war, serving with the UN and then NATO, Croatia, BH and Kosovo, 1995 to 1999. I saw a number of these in service, some covered in conveyor belt material, in kosovo.
I saw these in both JNA service and Federation forces. Lots with conveyor belt armour, which actually is think rubber with a wire mesh in it. It was pretty effective actually, due to the wire mesh.
Rubber armor was apparently the trademark of Serbian/Srpska improvised vehicles, they scavenged factories they couldn't take to deny other factions from using it
@@teslashark I saw a lot of improvised armoured vehicles using the old conveyor belt material. Good stuff. I know for a fact it's reasonably bullet proof, certainly up to 7.62. I'm not sure how useful it would be outside of that.
@@gunner678 My reasoning is that lighter ammo are not that much a threat to the original armor on the M36 and T-55, but you have to protect optics and hatches against heavier calibers from mounted HMGs
I was serving Yugoslav army 2001/2002. In my brigade, anti tank battalion still had M36 and it was used during training on exercises. Infantry was trained to follow the armor, and M36 was acting as a tank. It was still working perfectly
Some of it gets lost in translation, as "strina" is wife of your's father's brother, and stereotypically she is "evil" one in the family relations, unlike "ujna" which is a wife of your mother's brother or "tetka" which is a sister of your mother or father. Family relations are complicated outside English speaking world. :D
Jackson proved to be surprisingly resilient in war against Croats and Bosnian Muslims. They were used as support guns, mostly going behind infantry, and were able to endure occasional 12.7 mm bullet and mortar fire. Rubber armor was supposedly reasonably effective against M80 Zolja (Yugoslav version of M72 LAW) . In war in Kosovo they were used as decoys for NATO aviation. I'm not aware of them being employed as weapons against Albanians. They were all retrofitted with diesel engines of Soviet design, so range and fuel consumption were vastly improved. Overall, vehicle was cheap to operate and still had enough firepower against infantry, while armored protection was not great but good enough for support gun role.
My dad was a comander of the Jurišni Bataljion „Tigar“ of the 502 Slavna Brdska Brigada his Bataljion captured a T-55 Tank some Trucks and cars ammunition weapons and a M-53/59 Praga he was awarded the Zlatni Ljiljan (Gold Lily) the highest award in the Bosnian Government army its like the Medal of Honor in America but bosnian
It will be interesting to see something about Krajina Express ... an armored train of the Serbian Army of Krajina. The train was built at the very beginning of the war in Croatia in 1991 and was used until the disintegration of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in the summer of 1995. Extremely strong vehicle during the war .. the train could not move further, so the crew destroyed it in 1995 (Serbs)
From 8:06, there was no civil war in yugslavia, only idea of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Serbia So warning to all those who is coming to Croatia, to say civil war ie an insult to Croats, After all who else name those wars 1991-95 (attacked and attackers are same), well a Serbs, like autor of this video
BS 😁 Croatia forcibly separated itself from Yugoslavia, and with help of the West expelled local Serb population. Their own goal since WW2 - ethnically clean "independent" state . "Independent" because they now have new masters in Brussels.
I find it so interesting that Yugoslavia was one of the few countries in the World, that had weapons from NATO aswell from the Warsaw Pact.
Well aside from Yugoslavia.. India, Finland, and Sweden too. Egypt too post-1980, for example it has numbers of M60 Patton and T-55 tanks

Rubber armor was somewhat effective against weaker earlier shaped charge anti-tank weapons. The same armor was placed on some T 55 tanks

I waited SO LONG for it. Thank you, TE.💜
Based on the photos shown here, did some of those M36s have the E9 modification that brings the roadwheel bogies further outwards?
