A few takeaways from the video:
Konstantin Rozhkov and the real reporter channel is almost certainly a form of Russian propaganda, but it is a very soft form of propaganda. There was no glaring misinformation however there are some items that should be noted.
#1. NEVER touch a destroyed tank unless you have to perform a rescue.
#2. Konstantin Rozhkov is Russian and may be trying to "act" like a westerner to make the propaganda more palateable.
#3. Abrams tanks that were sent to Ukraine we the M1A1 variant that was at least 32 years old. This was not the best western equipment.
#4. Russian tanks tend to use steel treads because they are cheap. Knocking the rubber track pads out of a western tank would create a less grippy surface on mud once the mud filled in the gap were the pad is.
#5. It is highly unlikely that British contractors would fly F-16s in Ukraine because the UK does not operate the F-16.
#6. None of the videos I looked at were monetized by UA-cam. This may be an indicator that Konstantin Rozhkov has an alternate source of funding.

Why don't we in the west have more arms and ammo to help Ukraine with? Why is Russia in producing the west when they are a gas station with nukes?
Wasn't all the sanctions supposed to send Russia into the gutter?
...or was the point all the way to hurt the Europeans competitiveness?
🤔 Funniest VPN commercial, yet 🏆🤣👏🏻💕🙏🏼
Should also analyse his voice, because I think I've heard this voice over some other ruzzian propaganda videos.
You missed the bit that Germans don't do parades (anymore) they are actually a bit ashamed of having an army.
@@buddy1155 The Germans have an army!??
4 real? Can they even field a fully equipped division? Their airforce can't fly, the subs are all sold and the tanks are soon going electric.
"Hello comrade, I am Chet Americaman from Texas Oblast..."
Ryan, Vould you like to visit heroic city of Tihiuana with Chet America man and I, your countryman of also Mick name.
You should meet “jon wayne cheeseburger” 😂
Lol
The UA-camr Gattu made a fantastic Video on debunking Russian PsyOps during the Texas-Border-Incident. One Twitter Account for "Texit" not only did the Texas Oblast-Thing but also said something along the Lines of "The Federal Government wants our warm-water Ports!" which is a uniquely russian Thing to say as they don´t have that many while the US almost exclusivly have warm-water Ports.
😂😂😂
-Are you from russia?
-No-no, I'm from England America!!

I think we have a Russian on our team...
Blyattt you found me 🤫
no offense but i think alot of americans cant name american president either.
@@Myanmartiger921 then you must not know any Americans, because the news over here constantly talks about either Biden or Trump 😂
😂😂😂😂
No ads is because he is from russia. No russian video has ads.
It's true, i noticed that too
Because UA-cam banned all ads in Russia to force creators... stop the war?.. I really don't know what they tryed to do but now russians have free yt premium
Thats not true, im subscribed to 3 russian UA-cam Channels, and 2 of them have ads on, 1 only limited
@@LeroxYT it depends on if they're in Russia or if they speak russian
@@that_flnger well theire Animation channels, and both speak russian and are in russia located. One of the Channels is sometimes even streaming from his moscow apartment, tho i dont watch the streams, as i cant speak russian enough to understand anything there.
You have clap back from REAL reporter, LOL
"The real people that Ukraine needs don't fly the F-16, they maintain them. These are the people who keep the jets in the air. The pilots just go up and break them."
Truer words were seldom spoken.
Same goes for Tanks, Tankers maintain the tanks. It's th3 actual Mechanics, that truly work & repair them
one truth American fliers whether military or commercial piolets both have vastly more hours of flight training but yes i loos bolt will reck billion dollar jet
I'd say that the more modern the equipment the harder it is to keep it operational. While a flat tire might keep any airplane on the ground, the F-16 cannot be flown w/out the flight computer.. Its inherent instability givies it fantastic maneuverability but also makes it uncontrollable without computer input.
Agreed. Also, Ukraine needs f16s for shooting down missiles and keeping airplanes at bay, not necessarily to engage in dogfights. Russians seem to be happy with their military while they live in abject poverty
No, Ukraine needs pilots qualified to be 4 ship leads. 4 ship flights are core to F-16 tactics. This takes years of flying as a fully qualified wingman while learning from the flight leads and IPs. If everyone in your squadron is just a new F-16 pilot without any leads or IPs this may get ugly.
So at best he's a Russian guy reporting with the Russian government's consent.
AMEN, MY FRIEND.
and what does the russian govt consent to?
he's a paid shill. end of
He doesn't have just "a" Russian accent, he has the exact same Russian accent as all their government employees have.
I agree, he doesn't use the Russian disclaimer that that he is payed by foreign corporations or governments, so by deduction, he is payed by the Russian government.
love how americans here are upset that abrams tanks are shamefully displayed in moscow
There are a lot of videos in the channel where he does speak Russian with locals without any hiding.
4:28 what you think russian church pays him?
According to a bunch of western sources, the eastern orthodox church is paying everyone these days. They only have so much money to go around, so there's no way they can pay people much.
LMAO

@@user-nw4kc9ug3n shows his level of expertise right.
@@user-nw4kc9ug3n If mcbeth wants to pretend to be informed, he should at least pretend to be informed.
You can just type in a search bar "real reporter youtube channel" and literally the first video which will pop out will be "Who is Real Reporter?" where he says he is Russian, worked for RT (he even shows his first job as a weather guy at some small provincial TV channel) and later shows the neighborhood in the Russian city Yekaterinburg he is grew up in. Oh, the mystery!
Calling yourself "Real Reporter" while working for Putin is a bit like the obvious alien infiltrator from Futurama who used the alias "Hugh Mann".
@@georgesears2916 It's no different to Americans working for CNN, Fox or other channels. It's all propaganda depending on who you ask. Working for the "free" press doesn't make your word more "true" or free for that matter. There is no free press anyway, western media and especially American media is owned by corporations and shady companies who hide their real involvement by running the newspapers and media channels through shell companies. If you can't see the lies you are being told, that is exactly the way they operate. Mislead, hide the truth and smear all your opponents. That's how American media works and it's a multi-billion dollar business that keeps making money for the shady businesses behind because people can't make their own opinion of things.. This video here is a great example, a guy says something is propaganda, and the sheeple follows blindly. This channel is also sponsored by shady companies.. VPNs. Who needs a VPN? Shady people.
@@georgesears2916Just like CNN calling themselves “fair and balanced”?
The whole part where Ryan tried to portray Konstantin as a “Russian pretending to be a westerner”, wasting a few minutes dissecting his accent, is just a scummy move. Especially given the fact of what you mentioned. I honestly thought Ryan was above this type of crap. I guess I was wrong…
Or what, is Konstantin supposed to start using his last name, and stating the fact that he is a native of Yekaterinburg at the start of every video? Newsflash, if you are a UA-camr, nobody cares about your last name, or where you are from. It’s all about your content.
@@RealPolitik-dy4it agree. Not all people who speak good English are "pretending to be Westerners". Some just "speak good English".
I think the first item to raise a red flag is simply the fact he was able to get on the other side of the fence and gain direct access to the vehicles.
He said he’s from there and worked for rt, what is the mystery? He’s not hiding it.
several ppl have done that even an ex us military guy
Definitely a Kremlin propaganda pusher
Also says he is technically a Russian reservist in this video ua-cam.com/video/SD7xRKpf1kM/v-deo.htmlsi=WdMH_G-BEewJE3dU
@@niallcarson1093 So again, not hiding anything. Why did we need analysis and accent consultation to “expose” that he’s exactly what he says he is?
Next week we’ll be ignoring another isli violation of loac on film and do a 20 min video on how Xi is actually Chinese.
The reporter isn't hiding his Russian background. In the video he's seen conversing with various bystanders in flawless Russian. Why Ryan would spend so much screen time discussing this nonissue is beyond me.
Well, Ryan likes screen time :-)
Exactly
because he want people to doubt the Reporter and Asume that he is a Russian shill. Yea it could be.. Also what he said about that abram being destroy by a mine its wrong. If i remember correctly that was the 3rd abrams that was destroy. and was caught on camera. Also Why would be mines in Ukraine held positions?? that just blant stupidity.
THat even makes Ryans channel suspicious cause Konstantin shared his life and living, the situation and a lot of the bad and ugly, but also all the american double morale when it came to sanctions and bans and retreats of american companies who then reappeared through a back door like Johne Deere and others.
Our agriculture suppliers were so stupid to retreat as the americans had announced it just to fool the western allies cause months laters they were back fully and now conquering our market shares in russia we had lost to John Deere. Not a big deal if we had not laid off workers first and now need to hire those back and push Johne Deere back . We will simply underbit each of their offers by 5% and John Deere will be screwed soon.
Bad move, but within a year John Deere will have learned a lesson for sure.
bro looks like a true redditor
Peter griffin more precisely.
He is one
You know he’s a real reporter because that’s what he calls himself.
It's the UA-cam channel of truth- paradox
Must be, it makes sense, right?
Espionage has always used reporters as a cover, it’s a perfect cover for someone traveling a lot and asking questions.
He’s a spy/propagandist aka journalist
He's as real as most journalists in the west are.
Did see his channel, saw some good stuff but always felt it was dodgy and suspect.
Sticks his finger in a hole in the tank. “Good thing his not in Tijuana”
Almost spit out my water when I heard him say that 😂
Can you please explain what that means? I don't get it.
Whats the correlation between sticking his finger and Tijuana?
@@HyperNova98fr i wanna know too
@@HyperNova98 Yeah I don't get it either, replying to keep myself posted lol
@@HyperNova98 came here to ask the same question.
12:44 Lowering the barrel of a tank or artillery piece is a symbolic act that conveys submission or defeat. In many cultures and military traditions, this gesture signifies that the vehicle has been captured or surrendered. The lowered barrel represents a loss of combat effectiveness and, more importantly, a loss of pride and honor for the defeated party. This practice can be seen as a way to demonstrate control over the enemy's equipment and to visibly mark the shift in power dynamics on the battlefield. It serves as a psychological tactic to demoralize the opposing forces and celebrate the victory of the capturing side.
USA,UK,Russia,China,India followed/follow this tradition
Are you sure about that? All captured soviet tanks in the US were displayed barrel up.
@@a-iz4pg it’s easier to transport with its barrel flush and facing the rear
@@FPSchiltronthese barells were twisted down when they were allready in Moscoe....so it has nothing to do with transport....
everything to do with psychological effect off a tank that has been defeted (like man that needs a pill to get hard)
@@FPSchiltron No, I mean all displayed soviet tanks in the US are left barrel up.
@@a-iz4pgbecause the museum’s aren’t government propaganda pieces. They’re history museums for cool tanks.
I don't remember Ryan comparing those tanks to decades old computers few months back when they were sent to Ukraine. Dude was like this is gamechanger. Now when they're getting wreaked by $200 drones, dude is like oh they're old useless tech.
You're just repeating what you heard, where was your comment a few weeks or months ago
And i remeber watching the video of ryan bragging about M1 abrams tecnology... now i can't find it! please give me the link.
@@bulletproofwarrior he isn't wrong tho, the tech in that abrams is a game changer for what ukraine has and comparison with some russian and soviet tanks, but it isn't anything new or recent either. Look at the f-22, likely the best fighter and one of the most advanced, that thing was created in the 80s and made it debut in the airforce in the 90s
@@gaypigeon5365the “real reporter” made a response video on Ryan mcbeth video so that’s why the Russian bots are working overtime in the comment section…..
@@gaypigeon5365 i think the Abrams were on storage waiting for some ukrainian victory to show up like the game changer... But them avdivka front collapsed...
It's just my take on this... Obviosly i have no particular insight to justify my take. But i would bet on this take
That channel’s name reminds me of a quote by the Rap Critic:
“You know what I think about someone who keeps on telling me that they’re real? I think they’re FAKE”
So Drake?
Reminds me of "human music" from Rick and Morty.
Reminds me of those here on YT who put “truth seeker” or something along those lines in their username. Ironically those types are always pushing conspiracy’s like flat earth and such.
RE the Abrams: The tank hit a mine in "no-man's land" and lost a track... with the crew escaping unhurt. Ukraine was then unable to recover because of the location, and destroyed the interior of the Abrams with drones to prevent Russians getting access to the communications tech. At the same time, Russians were attempting to prevent Ukraine recovering the tank and shot it up with Kornet while Ukrainians were droning it. Both sides pounded the tank. When the battle lines moved, Russia claimed the tank... with the hole in turret (and other extreme damage) first appearing when the tank was put on display in Moscow.
RE the Dude: I've see vids where he claims to have been an American Marine now married to a Russian and living in Russia. Overall, he seems to be connected to the Russian system (while NO ONE was allowed to climb on the displays, this dude as a pseudo-American speaking English and using a film crew, was both allowed to climb over the display's crown jewel, and was provided with a talking head Spetsnaz to deliver the hard core Russian propaganda). And, of course, SOMEONE is paying him.... and it isn't UA-cam.
Overall his schtick seems to be Russia is a warm friendly place full on nice people where an average American-type Dude can be comfortably at home. That said, he is consistently a soft sell for the Kremlin.
Yep. It's similar to how accounts with "truth" in their name are inevitably conspiracy theorists who believe & spread all kinds of nonsense.
Instructions unclear, now my router has a condom on it...
Sorry babe, the military analaysis I follow on UA-cam said you probably have the clap.

But do you make sure every strange router your computer connects to also wears a condom?
Think yourself lucky - mine has a strange rash.
@@mcdazz2011 There is a cream for that, just make sure you keep it out of your ports...
He may or may not be a propogandist but he NEVER claimed he was a westerner, he literally mentions that he is a native Russian speaker with an accent in English in every second one of his videos!!
yes, he was quite honest from the beginning, driving his old Opel Astra which is not an fsb car cause friends had incidantly met him in moscow in front of the former ikea mall getting into his Opel Astra from 2008 or so, a GM based car made by Opel in germany and sold as Opel Astra.
He used his real first name and also told his story what he had been doing before. And he showed a lot of the bad and ugly of russia as part of the life and living in russia.

I feel like the biggest difference in destroyed Russian tanks vs others. Destroyed russian tanks don’t have a a turret, the ones paraded do.
Turret is nice, but more important is that Ukrainian crews of beaten western armored vehicles aren't killed but survive in most cases.
Flying turrets you see so often because ammo and crew compartments aren't divided and secured against each other in Soviet machines as in an Abrams f.e.
@@begun65vdal5Auto loaders are not your friend

@@dkbros1592He’s right tho? Show me ONE clip of a catastrophic explosion of an Abrams or even a Leopard with the crew operating inside… I’ve seen over a dozen T-series get completely destroyed in fireballs sending the turret into orbit lol. Don’t compare NATO vehicles versus crappy eastern tech, our crews actually survive…
Just want to point out.
The Abrams given to Ukraine doesn't have depleted uranium armor.
That is the excuse... that "depleted uranium" won't help and i can't wait till u wonderweapon believers see it irl. But they are scared of bad image. I can't believe that german ww2 propaganda is the same as is now in the west. Just go and find the articles. And i am not saying rus isn't but not so hypocritical and fake as is western. Especially usa, and that is because usa history doesn't exist and is as old as my house in eu.
no but it's the australian standard which claims to be almost as good.

i think that barrel bending was done out of symbolism, to make the tanks look defeated

Gulf War Vet here... my unit, 197th Inf. Bde. (M)(S) attached to the 24th ID received a bunch of M1A2's before the ground war started. In fact there was some discussion about the cost/benefit of switching out the tanks that armor knew and had trained on for slightly improved /different ones so close to the beginning of the offensive. Like you I was T.O.W. infantry but my section of T.O.W.'s were combined with a platoon of Infantry on 2 M113's with 1 carrying a 50. Cal and the other an M19 Grenade Launcher as well as a platoon or section of 2 M1A2's. The tanks led the way, infantry flanked left/right and we T.O.W. guys stayed in the center and that's how we traveled during the war until the cease fire was declared and we returned to our old unit formations. I actually got out of the Army in Jan of 1992 so I know we had M1A2's at least a year before hand.
Good for you! My unit back to this time had T54B, T62 and PT76.......mixed toghether....
M1A2? No hate but are you sure? Those were a year late to Gulf War iirc
@@somerandomboibackup6086 Yes I'm certain. They were swapping out tanks for new ones and there was a lot of discussion surrounding it.
@@RemedialRob you sure it was the one with CITV? Damn the secrecy back then, the media only reported about the new tank after 1991 I'm pretty sure
@@somerandomboibackup6086 I'm not a tanker so I'm not familiar with the options on different models. All I can say for certain is that the new tanks were referred to as 'A2's" and there was quite a lot of discussion about whether it was wise to swap vehicles so close to the beginning of the ground war. There's a 24th ID Facebook group that spends all its time talking about the Gulf War. If it's important to you you might find a tanker there to confirm what I'm saying but I have absolutely no reason to make this up. I like Ryan and so I wasn't correcting him to "get" him or make myself feel superior. I genuinely remember the handoff. My Brigade being at the time the only "Separate" brigade in the Army was built like a 1/3rd scale division. Most divisions have 3 Brigades (or they did when I was in) and since we weren't part of a division we has resources and assets, again on a smaller scale, that most Brigades had to share with the rest of their division. And because everything was smaller It was easier to notice changes. I can't remember if it was the new tanks that came over with desert paint or if they were green and the old A1's were painted for the desert but I do recall the camp of the new A2's also being a factor of discussion in the decision to switch. Our M911 ITV's were still forest camo and we didn't get desert uniforms until just a couple months before the ground war started and even then some of us didn't get the desert boots because of limited stock on some sizes so we really were a hodgepodge of uniforms and camo heading in to the actual war. But as soon as Ryan said in the video that M1A2's weren't introduced until after the Gulf War my mental alarm bells went off with a specific memory of A2's being introduced to the 197th before the ground war started.

A KGB spy and a CIA agent meet up in a bar for a friendly drink.
"I have to admit, I'm always so impressed by Soviet propaganda. You really know how to get people worked up," the CIA agent says.
"Thank you," the KGB says. "We do our best but truly, it's nothing compared to American propaganda. Your people believe everything your state media tells them."

Most people will not do enough research on what they see. So the fact the guy reveals he’s Russian might never be seen so it’s of no concern to that Russian reporter.
If he’s not claiming to be something he’s not, why are we pretending he did? Because he has a clean accent? This video opens saying says he’s from there and works for them. Then analyzing his speech to prove he’s from there. Than an interjection of “but it’d weird to have a video up explaining where you’re from and who you worked for if you’re trying to pretend to be something else” (which he isn’t). Then brings on a language expert to prove where he’s from from his accent, even though he already told us and never claimed otherwise.

The M1 series of tanks does have a problem on ice. I've literally rode a 68 ton toboggan while training in Germany. In war, the plan for countering this problem was to reverse every fifth or so center guide. These have teeth that normally keep the roadwheels aligned to the track. Reversing them serves as ice cleats but would destroy any hard surface as well as wear out pin. Also, the M1 track pads are mono-directional, they are not angled to the track and the pads are not removable. You have to replace the entire track block.

Heavy metal poisoning is true. We were also taught to leave a vehicle to the recovery team unless somebody needs to be extricated from the inside. Also, some of the metals won't leave your system and they'll continue to wreck havoc in you body until the day you die (probably from long term heavy metal poisoning).
Interesting. And russian soldiers without protective gear tramped through the Chernobyl exclusion zone in 2022 exposing themselves (and others) to radioactivity. They even stole radioactive machines and material and brought them home. Rumour has it some of them later died of radiation poisoning, but no one really knows due to russian knee-jerk secrecy.

So I followed up with your McGreggor video which you referenced. One you mentioned that they had received an old variant which you compared to a 90s video game. Then in the older video you claimed they had the hull of the older tank with updated hardware. Which is it?
They didnt bend the barrels to damage them further, they tip the barrel as a sign of defeat, but because the turrets were damaged or they just couldnt figure out how to manually depress them, they bent them with the concrete block.
You notice the remote weapon systems on the lighter vehicles are also tipped downward.
But it also means they can't testfire the guns for their supposed "reengineering".
Maybe they are afraid the original owners will be able to re-activate the weapons systems remotely .
@@flitsertheo they dont work like that
not as a sign of defeat, more likely because of reasons of transport
No need to bend the barrels on defeated Russian tanks, because they're halfway to mars already
Just fyi @RyanMcBethProgramming the tanks ukraine received were not M1A1 from the gulf war. They are M1A1 SA (situational awarness). The upgrades includes 3rd gen armor upgrades and you guessed it, situational awareness upgrades. The earliest mention I could find of them is a 2009 contract for Iraq (this is like 5 minutes of google). So they aren't the most modern but they aren't outdated (australia still uses a worse version of the M1A1 SA called the M1A1 AIM today).

How many Israeli paid assets are there. Prager u founder former Israeli agent, Robert Maxwell and some writers at the New York times. Bet you would never hear Mcbeth covering that.
Doesn’t matter if the tank is European or not. The main point of the video is to discuss how unbiased the real reporter is (he is biased).
are you upset that your supposedly game changer abrams tank was in moscow?
he is very obviously russia his facial features alone are a dead give away.
I'm half convinced that the reason you have such a hard time finding Konstantin's last name is that he's actually a character played by an actor (of sorts). He was recruited because he's news anchor handsome, pretty fluent in English and has minimized his accent. He's a good propagandist because he seems relatively harmless, so his message is more readily received. If he came across as a jingoistic, Russian super-patriot the reaction to him would be immediate and visceral, but because he's a milquetoast kind of character, who "sticks to the facts" there's less opposition to his messaging.

I didn’t see the point of doing the grammar analysis. What does the way Konstantin talks have to do with any of his content? If he were to say that his name was “Curtis McLovin” and he was an American expat from “Greenville, Mississippi”, then I could see it being useful to call him out. But he never hid the fact that he is a Russian from Yekaterinburg. Or what do you expect him to start every video with it? In fact, I would venture to guess that nobody cares about him per se.

Surprising really that big brother allowed the algorithm to show it so widely to us. I saw it a while ago as suggested in my feed, before seeing this video.
If you bothered to do at least basic research, there would be no point for half of this video. Konstantin doesn't hide his background, in fact, he has a video which explains where he comes from and why his English is so good.
First, he called his channel "the real reporter" because that's, in fact, who he is, the real reporter with real tv experience and even making documentaries. But I guess only working for western channels counts, those Russian barbarians don't have a tv, no no no.
Second, I don't know who pays him, but I really hope someone does, because content of such quality deserves recognition and support.

Regarding the rubber track pads on tanks... I work with civilian catapillar tracks of various sizes.
If a 10-40 ton digger with no rubber track pads can literally destroy a bitumen road by crossing it, I'd hate to see what a 50-70 ton tank would do with no pads.
The Israelis were using old tyres to try stop their road from being damaged by their armoured veichles and even the old tyres didn't last long under that stress.
Metal tracks being twisted or turned across a road will gouge the road to shreds. Having dozens of track veichles traverse the same road could turn that road into broken wreckage that would take hours to rip up, then re-lay and cost tremendous amounts of money to replace.
Finally! The channel always smelled fishy.
By the way - there are many channels from "expats" in Russia talking how great it is there and many are just 7 or 8 months old.
Russia is doing great for Russian standards, they've kicked their military economy in a higher gear and the standards of living are not as bad as the EU sanctions were expected to hit them.

I laugh whenever I see anyone Pro-Russia say "They got your Abrams tank. All that tech ain't so good after all". Gamer, that is an M1A1 SA. It is literally an M1A1 HA (DU taken out for Ukraine) with the internals of a SEP minus the CITV (SA was 2008 and features enhanced displays and FCS. Could be from SEP V2, but I'm not certain). The US doesn't even operate any SEP V1's as frontline units anymore, and the SEP V2's are shrinking in number as they're converted to V3's. That Abrams has close to if not the same armor package found in the M1IP from 1984. So, you have a tank design 38 years old, with 40 year old armor and at most 26 year old electronics. Yall didn't get anything new...
Então vcs estão mandando lixo pra Ukr, pra cobrar depois.
That being said tank development has pretty much stopped after the cold war was over in 1990. All that's new are minor improvements to targeting systems. If you think about it it makes sense, why allocate money for a weapon system that was pretty much useless in the war on terror?
@Registered_Simp First, they were presented as a 'game changer'. And there's no real evidence that the latest Abrams are all that much better.

@@mitchyoung93 No real evidence the new ones are substantially better? Better armor, better optics, a CITV allowing for better situational awareness, improved fire control, and compatibility with the latest smart ammo the US is developing. To say the latest isn't much better is just ignorant
Ukraine has been losing Abrams at a higher rate than they'd prefer. There are reasons for that, and they have nothing to do with the tank itself. Anyone watching the state of the artillery war will already know that. The tanks are being used as mobile long-range direct fire support in lew of artillery shortages, or as rapid response units to Russian assaults. Given the situation they're in, they're bound to take casualties.

My money is on, the bending of the gun barrel on that Leopard was after finding, that the public was in awe at the vehicle; bending the barrel makes it look less intimidating.
And I guess, possibly, the FSB hoped that by showing off captured vehicle, they could, or can sway the populations in donor countries to wonder "if all the hand me downs where for for nothing?" -To me, if the crew got away from a disabled vehicle unscathed, and if they still have a will to board a new vehicle, then I am all for sending more.
Thanks, to Ryan McBeth, for piercing through the attempts to paint the picture that "The world of men shall fall. And it will begin with Ukraine" :)
You do realise that you sound like a guy who wears a metal foil hat?
True and not true. Bending the barrel of a tank is a symbol of defeat, it's something done usually before a military presentation like this one.
You see it all over the media be it in documentaries or games or something where a destroyed Tiger or T-72 or other vehicle have their barrel lowered when they're blown up.
Their barrels are lifted up later for museums though, since I'm sure that everyone who goes to a museum would rather see a proud looking Abrams with the barrel up than a depressed piece of metal

That’s all fine and dandy, but I don’t see how it is pertinent to this video. After all, the guy doesn’t hide that he is Russian in the slightest. Conversely, the fact that he makes an effort to reduce his accent is commendable if anything.
Also, I don’t get why Ryan is so fixated on Konstantin not promoting his last name. Last I checked, that was never a requirement. At least for a UA-camr. Heck, I don’t see how his last name is even pertinent.
Finally, Konstantin never claimed to be a military expert, let alone an expert on tanks.
From the looks of it, Ryan is just looking for something to grab onto, so that he can crap all over it. Talk about bias. Especially the part in the end about “life in Russia not being that bad” and “Ukrainians under Russian Occupation”. The first depends on the person. Some people in Russia enjoy their lives, while others are miserable. Same thing in the U.S., while some Americans are having a good time, others are miserable. Entirely subjective. As for the second one, well duh. It’s a war zone. I doubt that the locals in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam enjoyed the time the Americans occupied them. If they did, there wouldn’t be so many refugees from those countries, just like in Ukraine.
@@RealPolitik-dy4it Oh yeah? Then why would his channel be labeled as "from the USA" if he wasn't trying to conceal that he's russian?
Why would he claim to be "unbiased" while being clearly a RT journalist in disguise?
Most journalists around the world operate with their real name and don't try to make people believe they're from another country.
Can you show us your dislike counts of this video?
22k likes, 1,7k dislikes.
So why didn't the US send the best?
Real Reporter is a Russian propaganda channel and has been for a long time now.
Agreed
I can say the same with this channel
@@tranlong9221Ryan operates in a free country and real reporter dosen't
Haha! You're funny.@@tranlong9221
@@saltzkruber732 I really wonder which one is the free country? Because one has banned almost all media from its opponent while the other hasn't
Ryan I really love what you have been doing with your channel. I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now and I just wanted to say the content over the past 6 months has really gotten better and better. Not that it wasn’t good a few years back. It just really shows that you have finally truly identified your “style and character “ for the channel. The combination of wit and in-depth information is sourly needed more in this world. I take in a lot of information on the war and it’s all so damn serious that it has to be dangerous to listen to this stuff too much. Your playful and lighthearted approach to telling news or along with the fact checking various sources is just great stuff. You have the best game in UA-cam related to the war. And it doesn’t crush my soul to listen to you.
Thank you so much for all your work you are doing. You have a great gig and I hope you get all the recognition you deserve. You are helping to make this world a more informed and playful world and your humor is a breath of fresh air. I never thought a war channel could help make my day. Don’t change a thing. You have a great thing doing there. Even the apartment in the background keeps this channel Kitch and goes perfect with your approach and humor. Pls never get a studio or change one damn thing. The authenticity really says so much.
Great video! I saw another video about the equipment on display and the two guys climbed the tank, put their hands on it and said these are the updated tanks etc. Keep doing what you’re doing!
If someone has "real" or "truth" in their brand, I know it's probably neither of those things.
