No its rolled STALINIUM PLATING
Russia is running low on stalinium unfortunately, that's why they're planning on making use of the new putinium material
Stalinium neh dude
@@SvenTviking still better than US "Freedomium"

Together, they form *STALINIUM*
Stalinium armour with Putinolium era blocks for good defense against capitalist pigs.
Is good
Red effect plays war thunder, confirmed
Of course he does, War Thunder is his sponsor.
Warthunder is his sponsor
So ?
Yeah that just means Gaijin pays to advertise, not that he plays it
No matter what, the side will always be a weak spot for any tank
yes and especialy the back
That's why infantry is to always accompany tanks
Tank armor in a nutshell;
Front: Protect crew (head on)
Side: When you get flanked
Rear: If youre French :P
Bottom: Landmines and IEDs
Turret: The whole point of a tank is to shoot stuff...
Especially under the gun and turret meet
Ben Denis Yes, if I was to design a newer MBT, I would have a lot thicker armour on the bottom and probably some chemical armour, because a lot of tank warfare nowadays is done in close-quarters and in urban terrain, not the open rolling plains of the Cold War.
0:34 R.I.P headphone users lol.
Eardrums are overrated, anyways
What did it say? I cant hear anything anymore all I remember is the USSR
There is a vid of a T-90 gets hit by a TOW missile in Syria and survive ,also no T-90 was destroyed so far but that’s not so important...if that tank could survive a TOW then it’s a good tank.
in soviet Russia tanks are good enough
One T90 has destroy by ISIS
It was a single warhead TOW 2A, and Kontact 5 did his job... but the crew panicked. Against a tandem warhead TOW 2B or a top attack ATGM it might had not survived.
Wonder if it would survive a javelin? What do you think?
@@bobclapp125 No. Shora wont protect they from a Javelin. And being top attack is dubious reactive armor could prevent a kill, because reactive armor just lessens the penetration of passive armor and no tank has enough passive armor on top of the turret and engine compartment to prevent a penetration . Only active armor system like Afganit, Trophy and Iron Courtain will protect you from Javelin but even so, they are not designed to fully cover top attack weapons. Javelin and Spike are game changers.
EARRAPE ALERT!
Thank you, my savior..
yah got airaped up!!
WHAAT? I CAN'T HEAR S**T!
Stalinium stronk
Karl Anthony Adonis Thank you for saving my eardrums.
Wow, not a bad video. Not a propaganda piece like most of these. Well done.
Thanks :D
RedEffect tends to deliver well informed no bullshit videos about tanks which makes his vids great, I also really like his accent :D
@Urban Student Prepper You can take your shitty opinions and fuck off.
Also the one who needs to grow up is you judging by your attitude.
@Urban Student Prepper "K i d"
@Urban Student Prepper Oh wow, it took you whole 4 months to come up with that very unspectacular comeback.
Not to mention the amount of irony is through the roof with you x)
The composite armor includes strands of hair of Stalin's glorious moustache
=Borschtanium Composite
says that the T-90M front armour can stop most APFSDS projectiles *STALIN's SOUL ROARS IN THE DISTANCE*
the armor is possibility a Stalinium or a mixed of Tsar Nicholas II, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin's soul
No robot voice? inaccurate!
Everyone knows the robot voice makes these videos trustworthy.
Very nice RedEffect!
I was disappointed by Binkhov's T-90MS vs M1A3 SEP v.3, now I get satisfied
Stalinium 50%
STALINIUM 50%
Hi heard somewhere that the US is developing a new type of round for the M1A2 SEP V3 called the Armor Piercing Freedom Stabilizing Disregard Stalinium (nickname "Wham from Uncle Sam"). I'm no tank expert so I want you guys' opinions on this matter.
I'm watching this video freedonium
Michael Lambo lol
The most dangerous weapon invented by the american pindostan bliadium army is the so called cocksuckium. American "soldiers" aply it to the enemy immediately every time they feel a sort of tread.
DON"T ARGUE WITH GODS, HUMAN. WHAT I HAVE SAID IS THE FOCKING HOLY TRUTH FOR YOU AND YOU MUST LEARN IT BY HEART AND REPEAT IT LIKE A MANTRA.
-> Loader, load APFSDS!
-> The sabot one?
-> No, the one in the back shaped like George Washington's head, which radiates with freedom and democracy and fills you with sudden urge to throw boxes of tea into the sea.
I think you forgot that their cost are nearly half of other modern tanks out there. So, Russia's tactic to make thanks with an exceptional gun and cheap cost is still up
See Ivan, if enemy boolits cost into more than our complete tonks. Enemy will of be of bankrupt soon)))))
Actually 4 times cheaper
@Nikola Stalin would be proud of those crews who sacrificed themselves to let other t90 shoot Abrams
The secret to Russian armor is keeping them out of combat. Otherwise it’s a turret tossing contest.
The secret is to keep the armor thin so the enemies' rounds pass right through it so to force the enemy to waste money on expensive antitank rounds that detonate outside the tank thus protecting the tank crew.
no armour is best armour

I appreciate your channel man. I've watched you for YEARS, and realized I never said this, so I came back to one of my favorite videos from you.
That intro was absolutely glorious :DDD

The T-80BVM has an advantage on all other russian tanks though, *style!*
Aesthetically it's just mesmerizing, shame about it's technical characteristics, though...
I suppose, but I am disappointed that they didn't choose to upgrade T80Us with Relikt, as that would be highly effective and extremely good looking.
@@jafon9 Yeah but T-80 as a base platform is highly inefficient and was so from the start. The idea was solid but the execution was piss poor compared to the legendary T-72 which is still capable and upgradeable to this day. I have a feeling they will just phase out T-80 platform entirely and just go straight to T-90 for regular army (as it is a direct successor of T-72) which is far more reliable, and T-14 for more elite/specialized operations with all it's bells and whistles. That's what happens when you get another company/manufacturer involved in the wrong time. T-80 was needlessly expensive for what it was and totally not worth the cost. The manufacturer wanted to get some quick Roubles and gave subpar product in return.
The T-80BVM isn't too bad but coming from someone who loves Russian tanks and sees them as overall being more effective than other similar tanks/designs it honestly is lacking in armour protection it's turret for one is the same as the the T-80B/T80BV could it take a hit and protect the crew? Maybe but modern rounds are likely to go through and the turret is the most likely thing to be hit in modern combat which is a HUGE weakness for the tank nevermind the hull.
I like the design of the T14-Armata! its a big improvement and will save the crew itself, even in a firefight and when the T14 Armata gets a new Version, upgrades, and weaknesses gets balanced out. I will see the Russian Armee in a save place
Still waiting for the first units in the russian army.
@big ian My comrade Ian, Rejoice! They will get more T-14s and comes with a new 152 variant as well! Not so much for the Su-57 though.
This did not age well
3 years later,there's still only a handful,if that
Oh if only you knew
-"What is the Secret of Russian armor on modern tanks?"

The new T-14 have the new Putinium Alloy sandwich between 2 Stalium Reactive armor making it only immune to all projectiles including lasers and plasma !! :)
Good information. Subscribed.
0:28 good job, comrad. Don't tell them truth about our armor, keep secrets of Mother Russia
Well I wasn't expecting this kind of intro from this channel.
I really enjoyed this video. It is well researched and well put together. I hope you will make more on other tanks and other vehicles in general!
The secret is that they explode on first contact with the enemy, throwing the tank's turret 100 metres into the air. And the enemy doesn't expect that. A number of Ukrainians have already fallen when a Russian tank turret fell on their heads.
Ukraine is only alive because of the billions of dollars Western Powers gave to them so don't get mad bro. I'm not responding because your gonna turn this into chernobyl.
You do a good job showing the research you have done.
The intro alone was worth the video!
HOLY SHIT THAT'S THE HEAVIEST EARRAPE I'VE EVER HEARD.
I really like your approach to the subject matter, you provide a fair analysis of different nations equipment without filling it with slanted bias. This feels like a breath of fresh air as all to often it seems bias is allowed to overide fact. Keep up the great work and you earned a sub. from me.
Thanks a lot
Slanted bias is placed on Russian tanks alongside with the stalinium to make the plates
Hey mate, allways very interesting listening to your content and explanatory way you do it , cheers
There are ERA tiles on top of the turret of T-14 armata.
The Armata is a interesting concept. And heavy departure for a Russian tank. It seems more like a defensive shoot and scoot tank, were you can risk the light armored turret but save the crew and tank to fight another day.
@@ricardosoto5770 i think its not a project anymore
@Deus Vult Its un low numbers preproduction... mainly to keep the plant open. The umanned concept its interesting but it means F 35 levels of technology Russia can barely afford alone. The German Puma IFV has also a umanned turret but it has a complex of minicameras and radars giving it 360s degrees view of the battlefield with virtual reality googles in the commander helmet a la F 35. That tech its not cheap. I have read that one of the problems the F 35 has was exactly that feature. It was very constly to develop.
@Deus Vult it's not actually a trap. That's just a thin cover over the actual turret.
@Deus Vult which shells could easily penetrate it?
"Is it steel, stalinium, or soul of stalin himself" I am fuckin dying laughing haha. Anyway Red I recently discovered your channel and I am really enjoying your content. I mostly research and focus on pre 1945 period history but tanks were always my favorite subject. I have been wanting to learn more about modern tanks, especially the Russian side of things since I have a soft spot for Soviet and Russian post war vehicles. I like how you present your facts equally with an unbiased viewpoint that focuses on the technical aspects and how these vehicles might compare in the real world, not just parading them or comparing them in a non realistic way. Thanks for your work and keep it up man.
All wrong, the secret of the armor is solid Vodka. JK, excellent video! It would be cool if you could do a video on the Challengers or maybe some less-talked-about tanks like the C1 Ariete or Arjun.

Hey you're the Quora guy
Jokes on you
Liquid armor is a thing ;p
Good video, subscribed hoping to see more videos like this for the future.
Thanks, I will try not to dissapoint you :)
Really liked the video
0:30 when it's 1:30 AM and your RUclips sound bar is turned up to 100% because the previous video was kinda quiet.
#myearsarebleedingandthekidsareawake
I love this content. Would like to see more. Very informative and interesting.
There is also the chance that armor of russian tanks is not as good as the russians say
None of his numbers were wrong, modern weapons just penetrate more armor than what most of these tanks have.
Nice. I liked the video of the internal autoloader functioning. Good info on the armor setups. Thanks.
Nice presentation, good info on armor design etc. one of your best videos so far 🎖🎖🎖🎖
Thanks :)
Oh RUclips... Idk how I missed this (it did not give me notification). Great Video as always. :)
Edit: I actually like the Dazzlers (I did not know they were called that btw). They make it seem like the Tank has scary almost beast like red eyes that makes the enemy tank think "Oh god, that's a Monster!" xD
Legend has it that the armour is not actually metal, it's just stalin's mustache hair woven so tightly that it has the effect of looking like one solid block of metal.
T-90 and T-80 are just based off of wide Putin walking down a hallway
great video as always RE. It seems to me that the Achilles heel of any tank is its tracks and drive wheels. Sure, the crew may be safe from most projectiles while inside the tank. But if a HE round hits the drive wheels or the tracks, they are out of the battle. I think that battle tanks are mostly obsolete unless and until the weaknesses of the propulsion mechanisms are hardened. Lets just hope that we never need these machines in the first place.
Nice, I was looking for info on the armor of some of the newer t72 and t90 models and was having trouble finding anything until this, good video
Oh my God fantastic intro dude Bravo 10 out of 10
In warthunder, M1 Abrams uses stalinium for the chabhom armour as well

35 seconds in water spilled im laughing and now i have to explain what memes are to my parents cuz it scared the CRAP outta me
Nice! Excellent work.
Wow a video on Russian tanks that isn’t either “Russian tanks are utter garbage” or “literally indestructible”
In conclusion, tank before Armata has no side and back armor in the turret and with Armata the life of the crew and its value for experience and training is at least considered as important and valuable, good thing to appreciate if you run the tank.
Armata means that the Russian Federation unlike the Soviet Union is starting to care abour the life of their soldiers.
Thanks for these awesome material!!
Didn't think you'd be one to deliver a hot meme
So T-72 has a stronger hull then the T-80, the T-80 has a stronger turret, and the T-90 has the same hull as the T-72 and has a better turret then the T-80
Basically.
Very good. At least you know what you are talking about.
Incredible how the t14 armor is rated for 1000mm for APFSDS but a whopping 1500mm for HEAT, that's 20 inches of more penetration, shows why tanks use pure kinetic energy penetrators over explosive options.
Thanks for blowing out my speakers.
Comrades, stalinium is the strongest type of metal.
Putting shells in a carousel under the turret ring makes best armor)))) the crew will be comforted by the strong shell casing+gunpowder composite armor))))
That is the ONLY thing about T 64, T 72, T 80 and T 90 tanks I really do not like at all. I like the looks, the cost efectiveness, the low profile, the ingeniuous use of both composite armor and ERA to keep weight downw while having decent protection.... yet, on a side penetration.... losing the whole crew in miliseconds is a real posibility.
Leninium ,putinium,stalinium composite reinforced vodkanesium armor which can only be penetrated by another stalinium ap )))))))))))))))))))))))))))) there we go comrades sekrit dokuments revealed.
Textolite layers between keramik layers where rly outstanding at t80b/u and the low Profile round shaped turret made it rly strong against other mbts to penetrate. but no protection at lower glacis at all at t80u shure hard to hit
Recycled Stalinum. [End of video]
**STALINIUM!!!!!!!**
***with a little bit of Stalin's soul***
The secret is cardboard! I love watching all these videos after Russia failed invasion.
0:36 i had earphones on 100% 💀💀💀
But why JUMP and SHOOT? it seems pointless. unless you count propagnda
Wow! What a fantastic video. I learned an incredible amount. But I have a question. As the spaced armor appears slanted on the frontal armor, what if it gets hit at an angle and not head on. There seems to be some weaknesses with that approach but I understand why they do it in order to maximize armor thickness on the frontal arc.
All of that was new to me and I thought I knew a lot about tank armor. So wow....amazing info. I have a whole new level of respect for Russian armor designers.
Also I would add that the T-14 Armata's perceived weakness of not having much armor on the turret is I think one that in actual combat would be rectified with reactive armor around the turret. Even without it, the turret is likely capable of being quickly pulled out and replaced while the old one is repaired. Correct me if I'm wrong, but does the ammo storage area have blow-out panels? I believe it does but I'm not certain. This would minimize damage to the rest of the turret from a direct hit to the ammo rack especially if key components are covered in asbestos or similar material. The APS system, like all APS systems are not 100% effective but that is indeed a massive advantage it has if it can truly shoot down tank rounds as well as ATGM's and rockets.
The secret is that their armor is useless against modern weapons. DOA
Just like any modern tank
i was using headphones with pretty high volume and HOLY SHIT that was loud
I just love Russian tanks. Old, partly old, and new
It should be noted that things are unfortunately not as easy as an armour being equivalent to Xmm RHA or ERA giving a smple 20% reduction in penetration, that's only really true for the round that was tested against it and under the conditions of the test (eg angle to target). Things like the effect of ERA on kenetic rounds often have multiple modes in which they effect, and the relative effect of these different factor can change so the result is non-linear (eg the shattering vs deflection effects).
Rounds designed for resistance to ERA also don't nessasarily have much greater penetration in terms of RHA equivalent, but if an ERA degrades 1 round by 40%, it might degrade the improved round by only 20%... But the round might have actually lost some theoretical RHA equivalent penetration on paper.
Vs 1 type of APFSDS a particular base armour might only have 480mm RHA equivalent effectiveness, but against another type of APFSDS it might be 550mm.
I know RHA equivalence is a nice easy way to think about it, but you have so many variables in play with non-homogenous armours, active armours and the penetrators themselves that its unfortunately not that simple.
The value of lest say 480mm is like the midle ground of all the values, or the extact valur agaist the bullet they tested. The overall effectiveness will remain around 480mm for any bullet. It just might behave differently

All this is then cured using a lengthy process of depression and suicide. Haha!
its a rare kind of metal only found in russia it cant be destroyed its called Motherlandium the best kind of metal wich russia doesnt export its super special
Great video, thanks! Love to see the modern Russian armour!
Would you really trust a piece of shit Russian tank to stop and APDS round from 105mm L7?
I thought the infantry was the armor
Wow this is oversimplified It is very and I shall repeat myself VERY important when talking about tank armor effectiveness to mention which section of the armor has that protection value for example the T-90As turret armor effectiveness varies greatly the section closest to the gun is only 350-400mm RHA.
Also I do believe it would be rather helpful if you clarified what types of steel (yes difforent alloys and hardnesses actually exist)
And also specify wheather or not you are using the Russian or US standards for armor penetration meausurment (Russian tests are against harder steel and require better consistancy)
You don't have to give exact numbers but for Gods sake don't go comparing the stats from Russian tests to thoes of US test as if they are the same.
Going into exact detail would be too much for an average viewer who barely knows this stuff, giving a general idea was my goal when making this video.
I did clarify each time RHA, Cast, HHS or Welded steel was used, going more into detail is useless, since the difference is minimal.
All armor trials I used in the video are from Russia or USSR, I gave no values from US trials.
You may not have given values from US trials but it is still important to clirify that if the Russians deem something to be capable of penatrating x amount at 2km and the Americans claim the same of thier round the Russian round will in practice have the greater penetration.
Or basically Russian standards are higher and this must ALWAYS be taken into consideration.
This only takes 2-3 minutes to explain and should be understandable by most people. Not including this information is essentailly missinforming the viewer.
RedEffect What is the point of T14 than, and why is it superior tank, if it can be put out of service by a single turret hit? In real battles, tanks take most of the armor piercing hits around lower area of turret. Isn't this new reactive armor on T14 meant do shift armor penetrator from its trajectory, and create bad incoming angle, thereby decreasing its normal impulse vector component?
If I was talking about projectiles I would understand your point. But I am talking about the armor rated against modern threats, for T-72B I even specify which projectile was used in testing.
Miki Kiki
T-14 can only be put out of combat by another tank. And only if the tank is lucky enough to hit the area around the gun. And if it does penetrate, the only thing that gets destroyed is the gun. T-14 can then retreat and repair and get ready for another battle, nothing is lost, tank is still there. Where for any other tank, a hit to the area around the gun would be catastrophic.
T-14 does have APS designed to intercept KE penetrators, but once intercepted they can still penetrate some portion of armor, or damage some modules, on hull that is not an issue because there is ERA that will stop whatever is left from that projectile, but turret does not have any type of ERA so it is very questionable if it could sustain such hit
Yo, at 0:45 is a mistake. Absolute Vodka is swedish, Russian Standart would be more fitting, duh...
I’m going with the man of steel. The man who saved communism along with capitalism. He was a monster but sometimes it takes a monster to defeat another monster

****Don't get hit by American Depleted Uranium APFSDS ammunition *****
Headphone user warning right at the start if you read comments before video. MY EARS!
would love a video on relikt and malachite, although only the first is probably know
It's Armor is like any other modern Tanks from other nations that is made of RHA, Composite Armor and Depleted Uranium. But they were in their own unique way.
you should've had a special intro where the t-90 fades in instead
That proving solidarity of rha&elasticity of rabar for defusing crushing power
Frozen vodka.... Impervious unless the crew drink it all before going into battle...
haha best intro, love you bro :)
If you squint, red effect’s channel picture looks like a red muppet eating a sausage.
imo russian mbt's are the most attractive.. the low stance they have is so gorgeous
Agreed. There are no more sexier MBT that and old school, no ERA T 64, T 72 and T 80s.
8:04 If you take a look where the Shtora is placed and where the Turret start angeling back you notice that it isnt a real weak spot even if it penetrades it dosent hit the gunner or comander
It is not coincident that STAL(IN) in Russian means STEEL!!!!
Hmm, T series actually have square type turret fronts. I walways thought they were upside down frying pan, rounded type...
Very good video my camarade! But can you fo a video please on the french leclerc tank , one of the most expensive tank today !
