Soviet Response to Germany’s Big Cats - The IS-2 Heavy Tank
The IS-1 tank emerged from the Soviet need to upgrade the struggling KV-1 tank, eventually leading to the development of the IS-2 with a powerful 122 mm gun to counter German Tigers and Panthers. Initially, the IS-1 was equipped with an 85 mm gun, but it was quickly replaced by the IS-2 for its superior firepower and armor. The IS-2 proved effective in combat, able to destroy German tanks at longer ranges and withstand enemy fire better. Despite its slower rate of fire, it played a crucial role in key battles which turned the tide of World War 2, including the Battle of Berlin.
An interesting tank with an interesting history, which is worth looking into. And that’s what we’re gonna do today. Hello and welcome to the Bobi and Tanks UA-cam channel and enjoy this video.

After some hectic engineering and a lot of swearing, the IS-1 emerged with a fancy n...
The Armored Grandpa Couldn't Keep Up with the Blitzkrieg - M2 Medium Tank
Переглядів 15721 годину тому
Hallo and welcome, The M2 medium tank, produced by Rock Island Arsenal in 1939, was an American attempt at creating a modern armored vehicle before World War II. Despite its innovative features, including a 37 mm gun, multiple machine guns, and sloped armor, it was quickly deemed obsolete compared to contemporary European tanks. Consequently, the M2 was primarily used for training rather than c...

The IS-3 had the same cannon as the IS-2 but it had a completely revised armor protection as well as some other improvements. If these improvements actually led the IS-3 to domin...

Tank vs tank combat is not as important as some people think, so saying the IS-1 wasn't a match for Tigers or Panthers is not such a damning criticism. I don't think anything in this video or a video about the IS-2 will have any bearing on my life choices.
Great vid!
Thank you! 🫡
Video on the Soviet IS-2 heavy tank is out: ua-cam.com/video/qgKEAKB8p5w/v-deo.htmlsi=BukKJvU1BXIqUIkx
The good ol' Pz.3 is an amazing early war tank, and is often overlooked in history. Great Video!!
Thank you a lot! 😃
I love how the IS-2 was built to combat the Panther (along with heavy German fortifications) but for some reason people think that it was built for the Tiger I, despite having significantly less armor lol
One Panzer 3 Ausf N was used by Egypt in 1948
Preacing to the pro rus choir lmao
Nice.
German mains when the fight the IS-1:
Being taken out by 2cm flak breaking throught hull mg port must have been quite a bummer for a heavy tank crew
the IS-2 won over the IS-100 not because of luck but because there were more 122mm guns than 100mm guns
good video keep going.
Thanks a lot! 😃
IS-3 use to be design to fight againt Tiger 2 and Jadgtiger, but the nazi is surrender and the IS-3 was not into the WW2
More memes will for sure keep retention, try to add a little bit more of those in there and I think it'll be more appealing to the average person who doesn't have the longest attention span. Otherwise I appreciate the attempts at staying unbiased and you've defo earned my sub and a like. (For the record, I am biased towards Ukraine however that doesn't mean that constructive criticisms about it should be drowned out. Great video btw 👍)
Thanks for the advice, I for sure will try to add more of them. Although my main idea behind them is to make people laugh/smile and make my videos more appealing to watch. Also, thanks for your appreciation! I sometimes see people telling me I'm doing Russian or Western propaganda, which I try to stay out of by being as unbiased as I can (besides some of the jokes I make ofc, but I try to make them obviously satire) Thanks for the sub as well :)
@@bobiwt It gave me a good laugh so I'd say it wasn't bad at all. Being a propagandist is very easy nowadays, all you gotta do is throw the facts into the air and some people will do what they do best because they have no love in their life. But anyway, thanks for the comment and I wish you all the best!
@@thecringeinspector5636 Thank you so much! Wish you all the best as well 😃
And I don't know why the Soviet front armor, T-34 and T-34-85 still have same front armor about 45mm
because t34-85=t34 with 85mm gun. same chassis
The 122 mm was far from useless
Yeah you're right, but that would be the IS-2. In this video, I'm talking about the IS-1 which has an 85mm.
T-44 vid when, almost no content talking about it, specially on the books section.
T-44 vid sounds like a great idea. I briefly talked about it in one of the T-54/55 vids but it deserves a video of its own. Thanks for the idea 💪
We need more!!! Do the is 2 vid, pls!
Gotcha 🫡
Roll out the IS 2 vid, please.
🫡
The BTR-4 was successful in giving battle to Russian armor in the first months of the war, but over time many units have been destroyed or captured by the Russians.
Great video bro
Thanks!
ngl always forget this tank lol, cool seeing more vids on it! :D
I love the pro west propaganda. The Ukrainian's were speaking Russian as most are ethnic Russian in the West side. I love how no videos are ever allowed from the other side. Its like a debate, but only one side is allowed to speak.
The fuck are you talking about? It's in the east and south you will find most Russian speakers, and this is mostly due to russian resettlement and colonization following Catherine the Great's subjugation of the Crimean Khanate and during the later industrialization of the Donbass. There is also literally TONS of russian slanted media out there, literally at your fingertips. History Legends, Patrick Lancaster, Gonzalo Lira (rip bozo), Col MacGregor, just to name a few. The list is almost endless and their presence even on platforms like UA-cam is basically ubiquitous.
I also think it‘s important to hear the other side of the conflict and I am against censorship of information. I‘m very critical about the conflict myself. But my channel is not about politics and I try to stay unbiased about the vehicles I talk about (besides the jokes I like to make). And facts are just facts mate. It DID destroy Russian tanks. I am not pro Ukraine neither am I pro Russian. Just check out my other videos. Some people say I do Russian propaganda and you say I do Western propaganda. I can‘t be doing both so…
That I tell every Day and so you ask Ukrainian People many think completely different and they know so Rada and Selensky with Poroshenkow complete go and change than the same before, Nobady talking
@@pitmarkovic4545 The Ukraine is the most corrupt country in Eastern Europe. If NATO had just heeded Putins warning that placing a NATO country on his doorstep was "out of the question" when he had disbanded "The Warsaw Pact" decades before then this would not be going on. This is NATO/West aggression pushing Putins limits. (BTW not a Putin fan just giving the other sides take).
This guy has fallen on his head too many times
2:08 uhm ackshully 🤓 thats a BTR-4KSh with a "sh" sound and not "s" and "h" which stands for Штаб (Shtab) or Headquarters
I was already thinking something‘s wrong with my pronunciation 😂 Thanks for adding this!

Too much bla bla👎👎👎🤮🤮🤮
Whut? 🤣
Bro is more bias towards the btr4 then 11 year old freeaboos are to the Abrams
@@sparrow9990 who, the creator? he literally said multiple times the vehicle was Widley regarded as inadequate.
If you have any other wishes or video ideas, feel free to let me know!
Thanks! I didn't know the BTR-4 was so widely exported and so universally regarded as inadequate. However during the war they improved it much and it has been used to good effect.
Yeah well, at least Iraq eventually resumed the contract and got some of these. Especially because of its different versions and roles I‘m sure the BTR- 4 is needed in Ukraine right now.
Lez goooooo🥳
You wanted it, you got it :)

Your work here is admirable. Please keep producing these types of high quality videos for us to examine.
Thank you so much! 😃 I really appreciate the compliment
Enjoy your videos, keep up the work!
Thank you!😃
IS-3 shouldn't have performed worse than the Centurion or Sherman tanks, but as you said, there were other factors at play.
worse than cCenturion, but in evry way is better than M4
It must be fucking terrifying to drive around the battlefield with the same amount of explosives as a tank with the armor of a bmp.
Yeah that might be true. But I think its good mobility make up for it to some degree. Also I‘m pretty sure the tactics used for the BMP-3 are different than the ones for fully armored tanks. Maybe more of shoot-and-scoop or „suprise attack“ type of a thing
@@bobiwt in war footage its mostly, oh fuck lead tank gets knocked out, either push through the minefield, or do a 180 in the minefield, either way boom lol
This brings a new meaning to “where we dropping boys”
So you asked chat gpt to rephrase the wikipedia article on the BTR-80 slapped an intro onto it and thought that was enough effort to put into a yt video...
I do get your point, and perhaps you might be right... but I do fulfill the purpose of making this video, which is to present information to you about the BTR-80. What do you think?
@@bobiwt the problem is that due to the nature of wikipedia, the articles often repeat information that was already presented. For example just like the wikipedia article you mentioned that the BTR-80s predesesors where the BTR-60 and BTR-70. In the wikipedia article that is because its first mentioned in the summary at the begining of every wikipedia aticle and then in the design history. In a youtube video you dont even start with a summary, you might start with an overview but the summary is usually the end of the video.
@@phantom3048 Ohh okay now I understand what you mean. From that perspective I see that you‘re right. I will do something about it. Probably combine information from different sources since Wikipedia misses on some information anyways. Aaand I’ll do a complete quality check. Thank you for taking the time to tell me, I really appreciate it.
idc if its a ww1 british tank, i would not want to face it as an infantry, a cannon is still a cannon that can put a dinner plate size hole through your chest or act as a machine gun nest
Absolutely. It's still a big rolling piece of steel with a cannon on it
