I'm a navy vet also but damned near choked when he often referred to Russia as Soviet. I too share your sentiment of what does he know about tanks? It would be comparable to an army vet pretending to be an expert on naval ships of the line.

This is a very very bad summary of the actual tank situation, it actually is not one at all. When he mentioned that Russia is using T50 without explainting that they are not used as battletanks at all, i knew the rest will be nonsens. I skipped it at the five minute mark. Waste of time.
Wow this guy is an expert? Tanks are not the apex predator of this war. Drones, artillery and missiles are.
He is an expert. Propagandist expert that is.
He said they are the apex predators of the battlefield…
Yes its a hyperbole but also not completely wrong…
@@s1nn1ck Agree, so much editing and cuts in the video.
Not drones. Drones, as everyone understands them, are a nuisance. The 'apex predator' is the Lancet. Everything the Switchblade/Excalibur/Javelin/GLSDB/etc failed to be and more. Its accurate, its long range, its deadly, its easy and its cheap. They just started fielding the improved generation and a new even more capable variant is due for deployment mid to late summer.
I think he also got around that it sort of was the apex predator, but that drones etc has taken that power away from them.

Apex predator? No, drones are now the apex predator
This isn't about the tanks. It is about having tank crews who know what they are doing.
The thing is, FPV operators also know what to do on both sides.
You can train a tank crew for 10 years, but they will be destroyed by a guy trained to fly a drone in 10 days. Think about it.
@swe1733 the problem is a tank shouldn't be alone like they are doing in Ukraine. A tank is only with it's infantry and reversed.
“ would not find me in a Russian made tank” I don’t think we would find you in any combat scenario bud
Russian tanks are not poor quality its how the crew use the machine that matters

Tanks will disappear at the hands of drones. And when artificial intelligence comes to drones, traditional rear artillery will also disappear.
Traditional rear artillery never disappear, its really cheap, cost-effective and very synergetic with drones. Its just human crew will be cut out of equation, same AI will control swarm of observer drones that spot enemies for swarm of bomb drones and automated artillery pieces.
Russia now test ground drones, small light tanks without crew that use machinegun, mine-sweeping equipment and can deliver supply for frontline squads. This is what will replace ordinary tanks eventually,
You would guess that the same AI will be controling anti drone measures/defenses on future tanks.... tanks are not going away, will just be reworked.
@@NruBseyE What you say will happen at first, manufacturers will resist to stop producing these expensive dinosaurs. But facts will prove that a large, expensive, heavy, slow, complex and for the worse, manned device cannot compete against small, two or three orders of magnitude cheaper, faster, relatively simpler and disposable weapons. A tank on the battlefield is something like a full wallet lying on the street, something that invites to be stolen. And what the enemy steals from the tank is all the money it cost... in exchange for a small sum.
Do not confuse lethality with invulnerability.
Apex predator falls apart when a Lancet drone appears.

@@MenacingWithVideos i have no idea but i do know that any conflict the US has been involved in prior to Ukraine had total air and artillery superiority. I just ran across a vidoe with the Ukrainians talking about the Abrams with its problems in the conflict. They spoke of lack of armor, humidity knocking out electronics, the weight and how prone they are to drones being huge downfalls along with not having the correct ammunition when needed. To many AP rnds and not enough HE. He said they've fired 20 rnds into a building trying to knock it down. He also said that in this conflict the abrams primary use is as artillery not tank to tank. If i can find the video I'll share it. Any time an Abrams shows up thry are tracked down and eliminated or disabled. Then there's the huge amount of fuel to operate and the maintenance issues.

Cheap propaganda 😂😂
Yeah its basically just an ad for tank manufacturers even though the ukranians are just popping them all the time.
To be honest US air power is so ridiculously overpowered it doesn’t matter if the M1 is obsolete since air superiority will just allow massive precision bombing of enemy forces well before the tanks arrive to enter the battle. I do have a lot of respect for the Russian military but they have been underfunded for decades and are a sad shell of the Soviet military.

Artillery and mine and drone is actually making the game. There is actually never tank vs tank fight. This is no ww2.
that's not true.
Both are important, but their roles can vary depending on the context of the fight. Tanks are effective in direct contact with the enemy and in support of ground troops, while drones can provide strategic reconnaissance and air strikes. Their effectiveness depends on the type of combat and the environment.
There was a duel between a T72 and an M1, with the inferior Soviet-era tank knocking out the modern US tank.
Losing a 1800 tanks is nothing considering the size of the battlefield and the duration of the war.
It's closer to 3 thousand and those are significant losses.
The Russian reserves aren't infinite and the quality of reserves will decline over time.
Both are almost evenly matched, it comes down to who can take who out first.
Because at point blank range neither tank Win's.
Western tanks are an extremely small minority of the tanks Ukraine uses. Most of their tanks are old Soviet T-64s.
Also ukrainian T-64. Built or upgraded to ukrainian standards.
But new and new military equipment continues to flow into Ukraine. The US announced another military package, Denmark and more...

The US has the largest military budget in the world and possesses a wide range of weapons, including nuclear, conventional and advanced technology.
@@Adam35779 Russia has the largest and most modern collecton of missiles in the world, including nukes.

Почитал англоязычные комментарии. Могу сказать следующее:
1. При сравнении Абрамса и танков серии Т никто не учитывает стоимость. А правда ли, что 2 танка Абрамс лучше, чем 4-5 танков Т-90?
2. Говорят, что мы не можем модернизировать танки. Нет электронных компонентов, чипов и так далее. Во много это правда. Например мы только начинаем выпуск тепловизоров. И они хуже, чем зарубежные. Но знаете, это еще не значит, что у нас нет зарубежных. Кока-Кола у нас вроде тоже не продается 😂 Как и некоторые автомобили. Например мерседес. В конце концов наши ракеты по-прежнему производятся. И если в них действительно чипы из украинских стиральных машин, значит и в танках будут они же.
3. Не принимается во внимание, что западные танки намного тяжелее. Что имеет значение на украинских черноземах. Потому что не важно, как хороша ваша броня и пушка, ваша двигательная устанвка и трансмиссия, если вы сидите в грязи по самую башню, а для ПТРК или дрона вы попрежнему уязвимы.
4. Современные противотанковые средства прекрасно уничтожают любые танки. Сами же танки в современном мире не предназначены для борьбы против танков, хотя и могут это делать. Их главное назначение поддержка и прорыв. А для борьбы с ними хороши дроны, мины и ПТУР. В том числе размещенные на вертолетах, находящихся на небольшой высоте, для меньшей заметномти ПВО, но на удалении от боя около 7 километров.
Поэтому сравнивать танки друг с другом можно, но не нужно. Потому что это глупо. Способны западные танки выполнять задачи прорыва и поддержки? Да. А русскиие? Тоже. А вот насколько хорошо те и другие могут это делать зависит от многих факторов. От грунта. Проходимости местности. Качества фортификаций и минных заграждений. Насыщенности фронта противотанковыми средствами. Господства в воздухе. Артиллерии. И даже наличия достаточно прочных мостов или достаточного количества срециальной техники для развертывания мостов. От мотивированности и обученности экипажа. И не следует забывать о снабжении и обслуживании. Короче, танки войну не выигрывают. Войну выигрывают люди. Когда всё хорошо спланировано и воплощено, когда неодиданности и сюрпризы предугаданы, когда есть готовность идти вперед и нести потери, тогда будет победа. Даже если проигрвваешь технологически. Кстати, мы с таким уже сталкивались.
5. В текущем конфликте вообще не важно, какой танк лучше. Украина проигрывает. Даже если западные танки лучше, то их недостаточно. И не танки являются главной силой этого конфликта, а артиллерия.
6. Если возникнет конфликт между Россией и США с НАТО, то качество танков тоже не будет иметь значения. Ибо в ход неизбежно пойдет ядерное оружие. Как минимум тактическое. Ну или Россия сдастся. Во что я не верю.
Вывод: плевать, какой танк лучше. У талибов их вообще не было, но мне кажется в план США не входила передача Афганистана талибам )))

Concordo plenamente com o comentário muito bem elaborado
“The tanks themselves in the modern world are not designed to fight against tanks” Are you stupid? Report this Russian propaganda account for misinformation.
As a regular American to you, I can say without any hesitation that most American's do not want to be an enemy of Russia anymore than any other country. We are not our government and you are not your government. Prior to this, I had hopes of traveling to all of Europe, the western countries of the UK, France, Germany, Spain, etc. I also had hopes of traveling to Eastern ones like Russia, where I could experience the history, culture, food, etc. I know there is personal feelings of anger from you guys post collapse of the Soviet Union, but I can say prior to the invasion of Ukraine that almost no one in America looked at Russia as our enemy anymore.

And it's obvious all the $ sent the US certainly doesn't have has mostly been embelzelled to perpetuate constant fraud for the fat cats.
Enlighten us about the western design flaws? I'm sure there are some, but comments like yours don't add anything if you cant even name one example.
@@guardian-X They are heavy AF, so they are not suitable for every terrain. In the case of Ukraine they must stick to paid roads or suffer constant stuck in a cross-country terrain, for quoting one, we can talk about their very high maintenance footprint, or the lack of knowledge about the hazards of using DU salvo rounds to the crew. When you design something, you always have to make compromises, so imaging that there are none is very naive and childish
@@teblack2 Thanks, now this comment is much more constructive.
@@teblack2 The abrams is less prone to getting stuck than any russian battle tank.
Russia sure has no Ammo but very effective shovels. The Abrams Leopard & Challenger Tanks were effectively taken out by shovels 😂
bullshit
That first line is very dumb. Tanks struggled in WW1, WW2, today and in the future. The real apex is artillery
I really wonder how someone who knows so little about a subject gets a job as an "expert". The number of false statements he makes in the 10 minutes I watched reminded me of those people who read one wikipedia entry and all of a sudden became immunology experts during covid... little did I know, in just a couple of years, they'd turn into foreign policy and politics scholars! 😩😩
No such thing as an obsolete tank.
T-55, T-62, T-34 all obsolete tanks.
@@viceralman8450 Depends what you use them for.
T-62 for example has smooth bore. It can snipe from distance with modern ammunition.
@@viceralman8450 Load HE shells into them, and they become IFVs so not really obsolete.

Russian T90 is the same price as Abrams? Really? ГЫЫЫЫ!!!
Expensive paint job.
That tragic war was unessessary.
The M1 Abrams that was sent to Ukraine is not the 'full version' if you'd like to call it that. Our Classified equipment was stripped from the Abrams sent overseas, out of fear that ruskies would get their hands on them
The Russians can fill in the blanks. For example, instead of the cardboard armor installed on the M1 there should be something more substantive.
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a big mistake.I realize that it could be due to inexperience, but if you want to make your finances work for you, prevent inflation from eroding your savings, build generational wealth, and cultivate good habits and financial knowledge, you must be in the market.
The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH... Stock)
I have always wanted to trade crypto since 2019 but was scared due to its volatility, I think now I want to give it a try but don't know how to go about it.
Same here all thanks to Mrs Jeffrey Kathryn, she has always been there to guide me through with detailed analysis and recommendations that I wouldn't have access to otherwise.
How please I'm pretty new and feel I have much to learn, I would appreciate if you show me how to go about it?
After I raised up to 325k trading with expert Kathryn I bought a new House and a car here in the states also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God shalom.
'The tank is the apex predator' LOL Not any more. How many tank kills are from tank-on-tank fights? Seems that most tank kills are from drones, IFV or just infantry. Tanks are incredibly vulnerable today.
How many tanks have been destroyed compared to how many infantry, IFV or drones?
People have called tanks obsolete for over 100 years.
That in itself is starting to evolve.
Tanks will always be there.
Look now the Russians make their tanks look like turtles
Still tank is the only option in ground attack because the alternative is infantry charging the front
Tanks have always been vulnerable. Shoulder-fired antitank weapons were taking them out in WW2. Aircraft have been taking them out since WWII. Artillery will always be taking them out. It isn't some new thing.
Russian tanks are definitely vulnerable.
Poper use of combined arms is what makes tanks effective, rather than cope cages and tanks with houses lol.
High-tech military weapons are good, but in practice, simple and reliable military weapons is better.
There may be errors in the text, as English is not my native language.
He mentioned the lack of Russian and Soviet tanks associated with the "departure of the tower" during the detonation of ammunition. This is due to the automatic loader. Different models of Russian tanks fire on average once every 7 seconds. Western tanks do not have an automatic loader, so they need an additional crew member. The rate of fire of Western tanks depends on how fast he can work, how tired he is, how badly tank shakes when moving and other factors.
Secondly, the video compares the cost of the most modern Russian T-90M tank with the M1A1 Abrams, which is not the best modifier of the line. For example, it is one and a half times heavier, which can become critical in off-road combat conditions.
For the last time: the auto loader is not a design flaw. Its a tradeoff. The soviet style tanks are all smaller, and don't need a loader. Yes, there are bustle auto loaders but there is a reason why they are so rare. The Russians are using the same reliable auto loader design since the 70s. Also, both the Leo 2 and the Challenger 2 have ammo stowages in the hull that, if hit, result in the same "jack in the box" effect as we have seen evidence of that in Ukraine. So much for MUH DESIGN FLAW. Abrams is the only tank that is truly immune to catastrophic ammo cook-offs but even the Abrams has a problem with the ammo burning through the bottom of the bustle rack and ruining the engine deck.
Also I shouldn't have clicked on the video. I already knew what was coming when I saw the T80 on the thumbnail (because of the rear exhaust) and saw it being labeled as a T90. I am just disappointed that I was right...
Also we've seen Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 with popped turrets in ukraine. But MSM will never talk about this
he mentioned and listed russia loses 5 times but not once for ukranians. how didnt Ukraine won by now they dont lose any people or vehicles?
The video is delusional as the reality is opposite what they say in terms of losses.
empire of lies
Was that English?
the real question if if ukraine only lost 30,000, then why do they need to conscript 500,000?
@@gumby2241 ukraine has lost around ~300k. Russia has lost around ~350k. Rough estimate since both don't release their real numbers
They don’t even use the Abrams on the frontline. Too many already destroyed.
How come we don't see M1 Abrams protecting Kharkiv from inferior Russian war machines?
Because Ukraine would need upgraded M1A2s not the obselete M1A1 models currently în their stock
@@global.citizensIt's not about the model it's about the numbers they can't afford to lose them while Russia can

Well, an obselete Bradley Infantry Fighting machine took out a modern russian T-90
Wow....listen to this...Ukraine is winning! Russian equipment is inferior. Yeah. Okay.
Exactly propaganda pro max
It’s even mentioned that Russia has the advantage in terms of tanks. Altough Ukraine’s losses are not mentioned. It’s not mentioned they’re winning the war or even implied. It’s implied that Russia can sustain casualties and vehichle losses due to the sheer amount they have.
@@PauliusR123 A little suspicious that the West never talks about Ukraine's casualties. how come we only hear about Russia's casualties?
well, you did not watch the video
They salty 😂
Excellent report. Thank you!
Why build massive overpriced tanks when a lil drone can kill it, you're litteraly painting a target on your back if you get into a tank
3:21 only Russia would jump a tank 6 feet in the air and fire in mid air like that. Lol
re sending 35 M1 Abrams costing $200 million. Thats about the same cost as a single Russian oligarchs super yacht.
What kind of gas it required to run to get to 200M USD? Even Starship fuel is not that expensive
You do know that packing and unpacking those tanks cost money right? You cant just drove them on the road all the way from NATO country to Ukraine.
They most likely pack them on a train. Not sure if the cost is $200m but it will still be expensives considering u also need to send the spareparts and ammo for the tanks
@@descartes2404 bit over priced for something that will burn very quickly as much as any other tank
@@happychappy492at least 80% of them then are still in service. Dont forget that there is no guarantee that all the abrams destroyed by russia is real. Last year russia claims that it destroyed over 40 himars, but only 16 real ones were sent, the rest are decoys made in czechia😂!
@@happychappy492then why russia lost 3 times as many tanks?
Not even a close fight. Because one side made their tank 50 times more expensive, so any ratio of exchange less than 50 to 1 is an absolute loss.
If a russian tank costs 3 million USD, you assume an American tank costs 150 million? Are you serious?
@@global.citizens Exactly, buddy. Shocking isn't it? Who can imagine what would have gone wrong with giving ammunition productions to private, secretive and largely unregulated companies while simultaneously making those companies sole monopolies shall have horrible consequences?

@@global.citizensI believe the point of an exaggeration was simply to point out the issue
It closer to 1:2. Little bit more, like 1: 2.2. Exchange ratio is 1. So Russian tanks win.
I wouldn't trust this guy to tell the truth. His rhetoric shows me that he doesn't have a clue on the present turn of events.
Comments of a man who's been in an easy wars before and explains it from his perspective. Yet another example of disconnect and drawing wrong conclusions. Good prospect of becoming "behind the desk" commander.
bro proceeds to show t90, while the T90M is not shown in a single footage, T90-M is the better competititor to m1a2 !! bro doesnt know !!
Also: Yes. T90M is in service in ukraine ~150
T-54/55 and T-62 are used for indirect fire. They have indirect fire sight. Those sights weren't great even back in the day those tanks were new, but they have them. And Russians have massive amount of shells for them, so why not use them? Lack of accuracy is complemented by drones that are used for fire correction. That still makes them useful. Besides, any tank if hit by modern ATGMs or drones will go down, regardless how modern or not the tank is.
As for famous carousel and "jack in the box" where turrets pop up, it turned out that almost never are those caused by the ammo in the carousel being directly hit. Usually it is the additional ammo being stored all over the tank being hit that ignites, cooks off (at which point it makes no difference to the crew whether the carousel ammo will also get cooked off; they're done for any way) and then it reaches the carousel and you have those explosion. Both Russian and Ukrainian tank crews started going into battle with ammo in the carousel only (22 rounds) and with 0 additional ammo in tank hull and turret. And what do you know... The images of popped up turrets are now pretty rare, as opposed to the start of the confrontation...
T-62 uses modern ammo. Smooth bore...

Man the warthunder battlefield experts are out in force in these comments! Glad you "experts" graced us with your spew.
In actuality the airbourne attacks are the most threatening and hard to prevent and take down or defend against.
And here I was thinking drones are the apex predator, so many tanks of all kinds have been destroyed or disabled by drones.
Ground warfare. Drones are classed as airborne
@@ArcticVXR1 there are underwater, water surface drones, ground drones, air drones, and even air drones fly very low, most fighter jets rarely get so low in combat as highest altitude for drones.
Why bother building Hypersonic Missiles when you can use CHEAP Drones ❓
@@KamBar2019 because they are cheap, USA even with printing trillions of dollars have not built a working hypersonic missile.
Better spend these trillions on magic stealth F-35, and pocket the money and buy all kinds of stocks, like Tesla, SpaceX, Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.
and people
Both tanks are designed according to doctrine of the militaries they serve. M1 is designed for short blitzkrieg-type operations within a volunteer force. Russian tanks are the opposite- they're designed for attrition battles within a conscript army, thus its low maintenance cost and ease of manufacture, with a very low emphasis on crew survivability
The USA (and west in general) NEED mobility warfare. They just can't do attrition warfare. Russia is the opposite.
If the West got into an attrition war it'd last about a year before their governments collapsed.
