The New Tank Russia Can't Afford
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2024
- During Moscow’s Victory Parade in May of 2015, the Russian Defense Ministry debuted Russia’s latest secret project: the T14 Armata.
The most advanced tank ever produced was developed from scratch using a unified heavy vehicle platform that bears the same name, and it has been universally heralded as the first groundbreaking innovation in armored vehicles since their debut during World War 1.
If all goes according to plan, it is expected that the Armata will be delivered by 2023 and 2025 to the Russian Army and its allies, effectively starting a new era of tank warfare… - Наука та технологія
Another feature about the T-14 not mentioned here is its advanced stealth / cloaking technology. While clearly visible rolling across Red Square, it has yet to be seen on the battlefield.
Was JUST going to write that. ;))))
It's not in active service yet duh

To bad the Russian trolls aren't allowed on UA-cam anymore
@Knight-Sgt. Reyesim watching and Finland and Sweden 🇸🇪 two great countries standing up to the little bully boy...
it's been said that the Armata can shrug off ATGMS and Kinetic penetrators by employing a revolutionary new method of active camo called "budget cuts"
Instead of waiting for a projectile to hit it,the Armata avoids fire by simply not being in the battlefield

Ah, the finest tank to never reach production.
a pre production run of 70-100 has been in the works i think they have about that, someone told me they saw 1 in a video of the Ukraine war
apparentlyRussia has only 20 built/'operational' lol
@@mikesmith-wk7vy Very unlikely, given the trouble Russia is already having with logistics including a couple of prototype untested T-14s into the mix which do not even use the same ammunition as other designs let alone replacement parts they might as well save time and just give it to a Ukrainian farmer directly.
@@grizzlynad 14 fully equipped and serviceable with spares for maintenance, not even close to a full Russian MBT Battalion, which is 40 MBTs.
@@mikesmith-wk7vy No, no they didn't see a T-14 in Ukraine, Russia has nowhere near enough T-14s.
A Russian tank Battalion is 40 MBTs, Russia only has 14 fully equipped T-14s, with spares for maintenance.
Spares meaning: spare parts for the whole tank, EW, drivetrain, hull, track etc etc etc..
The T-14 isn't revolutionary. Its nothing more than a Russian approximation of the US TTB from the 1980's.
The T-14 is vaporware. Every time the Russians talk about it, the number of T-14's to be produced goes down. Meanwhile, the Russians announced that they are going with a moderate upgrade of the T-90.
We won't even touch on the fact that when the tank was first revealed Live Leaks took pictures of the turret armor and found it to be drywall held on with bailing wire.
The T-14 is disinformation...
It’s not based on the TTB given that the soviets have been developing this concept far before the TTB…
@@Phantom-bh5ru Are you actually saying that the Russians have been working on this tank for over 40 years?
Please, go back to War Thunder and let the adults talk.
@@Waltham1892 haha I know right, all the kids rave about it's crewless turret and autoloader but the idea of a crewless turret is a nightmare, if it's optics or autoloader gets knocked out the crew is fucked. Not to mention the flat angles and seeming lack of space for NERA on the turret, this thing will be target practice for anything worth the steel it's made from.
@@bluebox87059 People with no experience in armor get all excited by sensors. They don't understand the advantage of being able to see AND HEAR the battlefield.
Also, the figures I've seen for the turret armor indicate that it vulruble to 25mm auto cannons and possibly DPICM artillery rounds.
This means your wonder tank can quickly be may turned into an underperforming APC.
@@Waltham1892 Sounds about right, I hadn't heard that one yet but It wouldn't be surprising.
M1 tanker here. T14 is interesting but way overhyped. The hull and crew compartment in it are expected to be highly protected, but the turrets armor is REALLY thin and thus a good turret hit from any significantly sized gun or missile will destroy its ability to be more than a troop carrier. And the shock from even smaller rounds will likely destroy optics and thus any value. Plus a track/mobility kill is still a kill. Looking at javelins ability to defeat Russian ERA, I really don't think they would stand up to those either.
In short, this is not in any way a super tank in actual usefulness.
It's garbage
I agree with Mr. Fisher on every point; i would also like to add that Russia's tank factories and design bureaus are all state run and owned or run by an oligarch who answers to the Kremlin. There for there is no variety which in an economy like Russia's is a big achilles heel. Take the US for instance when the Army/Navy/Air Force or Marine Corp need a new vehicle to replace an existing one they don't just ask one company but a bunch of Defense Contractors to build prototypes and undergo a multitude of trials to meet certain requirements put out by each of the branches. Take the JLTV replacing the humvee on the frontlines now, or the new IFV competition to develop newest IFV to replace the ageing fleet of Bradly fighting vehicles. Russia lacks diversity so they get half cocked blocky unproven tech on a shaky platform claiming invincibility from most modern vehicles but they are just tooting the own horn hoping the West doesn't develop something better.
I was in m60's an they made them look better than it was .. But you boys have it Gd in a fight you can last longer than we could after being hit an I was a driver an my TC was Gd he was old school .. Miss Mine still best job I ever had an so much fun
Not to mention low production numbers
The Russians tried to be "cheap" in the wrong places. No wonder the T-72's and T-80's in the current war have suffered heavy losses.
Most importantly, how does it handle Javelins and other current anti-tank missiles?

Given that some of the tanks they're using in Ukraine utilize the same active protection system, not well...

The T-34 was NOT '30 years ahead' of its contemporaries. It was a slightly better than average design, that was absolutely butchered by production quality issues that utterly hobbled its actual real world performance. It suffered from numerous production defects; like missing crew seating, lack of rubber on the wheels, a garbage transmission that couldn't be shifted into its top gear, underpowered ammunition (bad powder in the shells), horrible sights/periscopes (i.e. polished metal rather than glass, unsealed and unheated so they fogged up and froze), lack of properly heat treated parts that broke down from wear prematurely, and armor spalling that would turn the crew into a shrapnel riddled mess even on non-penetrating hits and contributed to the tanks atrocious 85% crew casualty rate. The T-34 would have been a national embarrassment had it been fielded by any other nation in WWII.
Reminds me a lot of the F-104 Widowmaker - absolute death trap!

@@combustionberg3303 Good enough to be built without caring too much...not overly complicated like the Panther !
Given the current economic crisis in Russia, it's not likely that there will be many more of these tanks built anytime soon...
Too true!
Has anyone seen if any Armata's have been used in the Ukraine?
@@stevehill4615 Nope. It's like the t-14 doesn't even exist.
Nope!!! It broke down before leaving the shop!!!
@@stevehill4615 It hasn't because its too expensive to produce in any significant numbers and Russia doesn't want the Ukrainian Farmer's Salvage core to get their hands on one lol.

Says the Armchair General who doesn't know how it would be used.
I'm now in the "I'll believe it when I see it" mode when it comes to Russian equipment. Also, it's fckin worthless if Russian logistics leave it without fuel, ammo, spare parts and supplies for the crew. Speaking of the crew, if they aren't trained and have zero morale, no tactical awareness and are incapable of conducting combined arms, then it will be getting towed away by a farmer and his tractor in no time.
You nailed it! Without gas and support, this is just a sitting duck for an advanced drone...

Go back play your Russian based online wargames.
If only the money they had to build these things hadn't gone into the 50 super yachts of the Russian oligarchy.
Somewhat difficult given reports of the main factory for russian tank production has apparently been shut down due to supply issues.
Given how much technology was shown in this, and the delays already getting it into production (now 5 years behind) and the sanctions, it may be another 10 years it'll be in production. or at all
Likely not at all, I’d expect another T-90 variant to take its place
@@overlordgaming752 agreed Russia can’t afford to buy all the new tech they are coming up with. Look at the SU-57 as well
Also... this tank seems a bit too much maintenance heavy. If there is any issue with the autoloader the tank is basically out of the fight. Still cool concept but its relying a lot on the tech not breaking down.
Sanctions were imposed on them back in 2014.

Knowing Russias tendency to over-hype what ever material they make, paired with well known mediocre build quality, dodgy electronics and a QC that will be sporadic and dependant on the level of corruption, this vehicle is most likely not as much a threat as the Russian try and show it of as.
From what ive seen the russians can bring out some incredible prototypes, however (and i totally agree on this issue with you) the production is usually (if not always) pretty much butchered.
Conclusion, i have little doubt that the t-14 armata (if build to spec, having the same capabilities as promoted) would be an incredibly dangerous foe to face... that said, i also have little doubt that the russians are in their current state incapable to put a „build to spec” t-14 into serious production

Supposedly, it was tested in Syria. Supposedly. According to Russian propaganda. Soooo....yeah...take that for what it's worth.
I prefer the merkava, but if one is going for tank on tank, the abrams wins, but the t54 the iraqi used was never a match
Russia is famous for overhyping everything Their precious “hypersonic missile” isn’t all that it’s praised to be either. Not to mention, the Abrams is actually produced
@@aesirgaming1014 Yep probably in a carefully controlled battle while surrounded by friendlies when they were sure that the enemy had no AT weapons and if possible were already dead. Even then it probably showed up fired of a couple of rounds for the camera crew to capture the heroic action and was then was whisked away before anyone could think about shooting at it.
@@FakeSchrodingersCat Yeah, what the fuck can civilians ever do to a tank anyways?
Barely anyone of the so called "rebels" (they are actually civilians who are being actively starved today, frozen in winter and cooked in summer) wields anything that can even somewhat scratch a tank.
Most tank losses in syria are either no logistics and no fuel or a kamikaze done by many children packed with bombs in the beginning of the syrian war.

6:20 "It can shoot even if the crew is incapacitated or occupied with other things".
8:50 "And it can keep fighting after a chemical or nuclear attack".
Not to be a "keyboard veteran", *but* this claims that the Russians are making sound just too... Unreal?
Essentially they're claiming the T14 has some form of drone function... I'm not convinced.
Too much of this channel and others take Russia’s technological claims at face value even though they lie as a matter of routine about the far less impressive reality of their equipments capabilities.
Everyone thought that Russia with their vast and sophisticated forces would take Ukraine in 72 hours, but apparently that was all just propaganda we all believed.
Doesn't the Abram also have similar function? To be able to automaticaly scan and alarm the crew for any hot spot ?
Even with its new system that can defeat an RPG-style weapon it still can be taken out with the Javelin's top-down attack. The Javelin can be set to target the lightly protected engine. Also, it's vulnerable to mines like the ones currently used in Ukraine. Let's not forget the might of the simple Bayraktar. Three ways to make it go, poof! There's no way to make a tank indestructible.
8:50 seems like it should be standard. It's a tank, the crew is suppose to be in a protective bubble.
As "Iron" Mike Tyson once said " Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face" when we see what happens when an Armata takes a "silver bullet" in the gap between the turret and the body, I remain to be convinced.
No matter how good your troops and equipment look on a parade in front of the 'Dear Leader' or in the promotional video operated by your best crews to impress, it's their use in combat with your rank and file end user that matters.
Legends has it that the stuck T-14 during the 2015 Victory Parade did not broke down because of mechanical failures. It got stuck because the driver accidentally pushed the electronic parking brake button. The tank was so new back then that the crew haven't got the time to familiarize with the control column.
LOL !
You know, the institutions that absolutely shat itself when it first saw the the MiG-25, to the point where it gave us one of the best planes of all time, the F15...... has chosen not to bother to stress about this new "threat" from the T14 and will keep it's existing inventory of tanks in operation.
I think that reaction speaks for itself.
The reaction on the MiG-25 was just because it was too fast
But we know all the specifications and features of the Armata so we can safely guess it's the world's best tank
Bad comparison, try again
The reaction from the MIG25 was also due to that a very similiar design from the US airforce was made that had capabilityes unlike anything before
@@bubblenugget1335 It was also that the US expected the huge wings of the Mig25 meant it was super manurable. But in reality the large wings were needed to keep the fat b!cth in the air as she was made out of heavy metal (titanium iirc) that were thermally resistant. The USSR was les advanced in compound materials than the US thought.
@@someboi4535 “world’s best tank” 🤣🤣🤣 are you 10 years old? The “specifications” come from the same people that managed to say that this hulking elephant is “invisible to radar”, do you really believe this crap?
@@Fred5612 average western with brain damage be like:
Lol first of all idk when they said it's completely invisible to radar idk where you are getting that from, second of all their claims about the specifications of the tank make a lot of sense and some are even proven.
Also stop talking as if western media is any better lmao those are much bigger liars than Russian media, so can I say now that specifications about western tanks are also faked?
The Armata didn't break down on the parade, it was just an inexperienced driver accidentally pulling its handbrake
It has great thermal properties either with the big flames coming from the exhaust or from the turret after Nlaw hits it
One of the biggest problems Soviet/Russian tanks had in the last 40 years was the vulnerability of the ammo. It's obvious that separating the crew from the turret makes this the safest tank ever made but I still want to know how the autoloader works and how is the ammo distributed inside. That will be a secret for a long time tho.
Wouldn't matter this tank is destined for a museum not a battlefield
And there’s a tech issue or it gets jammed, they’re toast. A person will always be more reliable than machines.
the autoloader is probably similar to current russian autoloaders. nothing special about that in my opinion.
probably just the same as old design that they just relocate the crew compartment
How does it make it the 'safest tank ever made?'
In Western Tanks the crew and ammunition are separate. If the ammo explodes the compartment is designed to blow out and not in to the crew compartment.
It may be safer than other Russian tanks but in those the crew are sat on top of an ammunition carousel with no seperation.

Apparently, The T14's problem, wasn't mechanical, It was training. Parking brake got set and no one realized it.
You mentioned 1400 millimeters of steel armor. That’s fifty five inch’s or just under five feet of steel. I’m going to go out on a limb and ask if that’s right because that doesn’t sound right.
Whenever a number is given denoting thickness of armor, it’s not the actual thickness of the metal. It’s a strength equivalent to rolled homogeneous steel. It could be a mix of metal, ceramics, air gaps, plastic, or some other material. It’s just an estimate of how much steel it would be, since different tanks use different materials and designs. Even ww2 battleships didn’t have five feet of actual steel armor.
As I watch the footage all I can think is the crew going "Wooo spinny current goes round and round"
4:12 it wasn't an engine failure, the crews of the T-14 at that time recieved a minimum amount of training and were not used to drive the T-14 yet, thats why the T-14 couldn't move at the parade, after the driver realized his mistake everything went back to normal.

Russian network tv is showing swan lake, you remember the last time that was played, when the
Soviet Union collapsed.
It seems they’ve created the crew compartment to withstand their own weapons, which none, or nearly no other country uses-the Bumble Bee, for instance, a small shoulder-fired thermobaric weapon, used against Ukrainian troops in Crimea.
It happens all the time if you have a weapon you think is a game changer it makes sense to develop countermeasures against it sort of like the Germans developing Zimmerit even though they were the only nation that really fielded magnetic mines.
You'll note that a lot of countries buy their own hardware. Everyone was going on about Russia using thermobaric weapons. Then someone noted that one of the pictures being used was actually the Ukrainian stockpile.... Yeah, the Ukrainians have been using them a lot during this conflict and no one is batting an eye. Russia understood it would have to fight against it's own gear. They didn't expect the amount of western weaponry that has been donated. Frankly, neither did the Ukrainians who would have already lost without it.
@@brainplay8060 Source please. The TOS-01 was developed 2 only years before the breakup of the soviet union and Ukraine did not have any then. So unless you are claiming that they developed their own, Russia sold it to them some time after or it was given to them by NATO I think you have misunderstood the reporting and taken the captured Russian platforms of which Ukraine now has I believe 3 as a Ukrainian stockpile. There has also been only one confirm instance of Ukraine using one and it was on a convoy of fuel trucks.

Nothing throws it’s turret as high or as far as a Russian tank.
@@mtylerw I never said what their tanks were good at. But that is certainly one of em. XD
UKRAINIAN CITIZEN: HOLD MY BEER!
The American M1A2C Abrams tank is extremely advanced as well. It’s true that the Abrams has been in service longer than the T-14, but it’s regularly upgraded with the latest technology and packages. Whether you want to admit it or not, the M1A2C Abrams would give the T-14 Armata a run for it’s money.
hypersonic missles are engouh to kill the whole eurotrash i guess
@@alexanderjason434 yeah I guess
Those will look great with a Ukrainian flag on them!
Very interesting topics and excellent (articulate) narration, but this channel really needs better editing. This vid, like many others, has an erratic script and occasional clear errors, which would have been caught and easily corrected, with a knowledgeable "2nd set of eyes". Examples:
03:02 "it was secretly announced ..." (Huh? How do you do this?)
04:24 broken down tank was "... able to continue on it's trajectory" (was it launched into the air?)
07:00 "... with LCD monitors with thermal imaging that further enhances their remote control capabilities." (the thermal imaging system is primarily used to augment the targeting system and only because of that, enhances the remote control.)
07:21 "tracking of up to 25 aerodynamic or 40 dynamic targets...' (What is an aerodynamic target? These are not standard tanker terms. - perhaps a poor translation from Russian brochures?)
Finally, the video describes this as "the most advanced tank ever produced", and yet makes NO mention it's main gun specifications.
This channel is not geared toward engineers and subject-matter experts. Channels like Millennium 7* go very deeply into the tech and specs of systems, though they mainly cover aviation.
@@VisibilityFoggy 3km range on HEAT but 12km on HE rounds? What the fuck? It's clear they took the brochure, stuffed it into google translate and read it out.
Yeah I don't think he's trying to appeal to engineers and autistic kids who like trains lol
Does it come with umbrella like the t72 and t90 ?
8:58
Exhaust pun.
I approve.
Best tank they never had…
I reckon this tank is pretty good compared to other tanks, but it's not battle proven.
I hear nothing but optimism from experts or enthusiasts about it.
It's not a game changer, but it's probably the best tank out there.
m1 abrams was pretty good, but in todays war climate it's really just a big slow moving target for missiles.
t-14 smaller target, apparently has better protection, high mobility, advanced cloaking & sights and is air-transportable by some il-76 aircraft.
The problem is that the US fields thousands of M1 Abrams, while the Russians can't actively field any as of late.
@@dasbubba841 The problem is that the US uses combined arms and maintains air superiority.
@@deuscoromat742 I assumed that went without saying.
@@dasbubba841 they are getting slaughtered in Ukraine right now because of it.
Does it have the emergancy turret eject system?
Keep on given us great content, awesome 👌.
When are we going to see Ukrainian farmers towing T-14? Or do Russia even dare to use T-14 Armata against the mighty Ukrainian farmer battalions.
The age of Tanks are over. The age of the drones has come.
But the real question is does it have a tow point for farmers to tow it home
Good weapon on paper, looks nice too, but seem hard to mass produce and maintenance in wartime conditions.
Could be good in low intensity combat tho.
Built with active armor filled with cardboard and newspapers. Russian engineering!
but can it carry stolen toilet or washing machine?
Nice full scale mockup
Good video, very descriptive.
The thing with this tank is that it's a little to advanced for its own good. I will give the Russians credit they hit a home run with this concept. Even if this tank comes out 10 years from now it will still be the most advanced tank on the field with how current designs for other countries are going. The problems with it are really that it's to expensive for the Russians, the tank has a whole relys heavily on the new Relic ERA with poor armor on most of the tank especially the turret. That is supposed to be combated by the new steel they made for the tank but that's unknown at best. And while this will launch with the new Afghanit hard kill defense system I think the Russians are relying to much on that. Always open go debate this but I think it's a great concept and design but only time can tell if it will actually play out that way.
T34 ahead of its time wtf
The thing never even had a fucking radio in it for communication. They were still using flags like a mad pack of Zombie Pirates.
The T-34 was a good tank, on paper. Problem with it was that it was poorly manufactured and seriously lacked polish.
They seem awful proud that the turret spins 🤣🤣
“Javelins have enter the chat”
T14: “left the chat”
Javelin NLAW can’t even get passed T-14 defenses
@@rogue__agent5884 that hasn’t been tested
wow. a Cadillac of a tank, where are the tail fins?
Ukrainian tractors
Let's see how soft it's top by firing a NLAW at it!
well it does have ERA on top and APS as well as blow out panels for ammo and a crewless turret
@@pepelajuandeag1696 The Javelin's top-down attack can be aimed at the lightly armored engine. The Bayraktar can do the same. Easiest of all is the land mine. It's not possible to make a tank indestructible.
How many are being produced a year now?
Still get SMOKED with the javelins lol
An impressive sounding tank. Now al they have to do is get enough motivated and well trained personnel to make it effective and from what we have seen in the Ukraine in the last month that is going to be a very tall ask.
Yes, good equipments and disciplined crews
Considering all the fancy electronics this tank has to offer and it being one of the only 5th generation tanks in the world id have high morale being in one
@@squidysnose69 Unfortunately for them that is not how morale actually works bad equipment can certainly lower morale but good equipment rarely actually raises it. A soldier with low morale can be given the best equipment in the world and will still surrender at the first opportunity.
@@FakeSchrodingersCat id have to disagree with you brother the t14 has comfort for the crew and its probably one of the only tanks that value the life of the crew we will see if the hype for the t14 will be worth it i think it will
@@squidysnose69 Based on what lmao! your years of experience on the battlefield? Is that the same experience leading you to believe the specifications which are blatant propaganda or the fact that tanks will even be relevant on the battlefield in 15 years? Always good to see veterans of the Reddit Army ready to give their professional opinion;)
You keep calling it the most advanced tank ever produced
But it's still not in Production !!!
the Soviet Union and Russia has never produced a vehicle
that was 30 years ahead of its time
this is sounding like a bunch of Russian propaganda
The west saw the Mig-25, and thought the soviet union was 30 years ahead of their time.
They shat themselves, and created the F-15, which actually was 30 years ahead of their time.
When an ex-soviet pilot defected, and showed the real Mig-25 to the world, people were genuinely confused, because the US just realized they were fearing absolutely nothing.
What's the music at 0:52 called please?
Ah, yes, the Armata...
Russia's equivalent to our SDI (Star Wars) program of the '80s...lol
But will it pull a Ukrainian plow?
All main battle tanks are obsolete. I believe the Marines have phased them out.
Actually that’s not true. Russia is just really bad at tank warfare.
@@muhh5 that may be true, but I think they invaded too early to use tanks in the fields because of the melting snow. You can't really use a tank in urban warfare as we found out in Iraq. With weapons like the javelin that can destroy a tank 2 miles away they really don't have a place anymore.
@@ctford27 most loses inflicted on tanks in Ukraine are done by artillery. You need 2-4 javelins to destroy a single tank. Tanks are neccesary according the USA military analytists. The ukrainians are doing a great job at fighting, but media Give too little credit to the god of war - artillery.
they really like showing that turret swinging around.
When the auto loader gets hit the turret soars high in the air.
Just want to point out that when that T-14 "broke down" it had actually stopped and since the seiver was new he accidentally engaged the parking brake. They tried to tow it and then found the issue and off it went. Just saying.
ie when showing it off, the best crewman they could put into the job was inadequately trained (and so was the rest of the crew, because clearly not one of them said "have you checked the park brake?").
it also tells you that the drivers ergonomics suck - you shouldn't be able to accidentally engage the park brake, that could be lethal in combat.
but the story explains a lot about how they are going in Ukraine, doesn't it.
Ye right
The T-14's breakdown during its debut at the military parade in 2015 was apparently due to the driver accidentally engaging the tank's emergency brake, which took several minutes to sort out before the obvious was discovered and it could resume its run in Red Square. That said, such a minor problem could potentially be fatal on the battlefield if the crew is panicked during an ambush. Besides its so-called revolutionary armor and new reactive armor, the T-14 boasts several anti-weapons sensors designed to very quickly detect and defeat weapons such as the Javelin, NLAW, AT-4, etc. But this remains to be seen how such systems will hold up IRL since Ukraine forces have proven to be very skillful in defeating all Russian armor so far. It would be easy to swarm a T-14 with multiple ATGMs to overwhelm its sensors and countermeasures, and blow both the tank and its crew all the way back to Moscow. Or maybe Putin is too chicken to send out the few T-14s available and risk losing face when his latest toy is turned into an expensive BBQ or is bogged down in the spring mud in Ukraine. Hopefully we will all find out soon. This tank was designed and manufactured by men, so it can be destroyed by other men who are defending their country. Slava Ukraini!
Send in a few of them new switchblade drones and this tank is gone
I think the t-14 handbrake issue you mentioned would not be an issue.
We are talking about the debut of the tank, there is a high possibility the driver was sitting in that tank for the very first time.
That said, it is still a tank, and will therefore obviously be incredibly vulnerable to the same things all tanks are. Ie Anti tank weapons (its in the name after all) attacks from above, losing mobility, etc. (And judging by the current conflict, the ukranians are very much aware of this, and they are doing a very good job at exploiting said weaknesses)
How does the middle guy get out if the other 2 die in thier seats or the turret is stuck facing backwards?
That's cool but how much air time does the turret get
When has any Russian state of the art weapons systems ever lived up to its claims??
NEVER...EFFIN KOMMIE KOOKS........
The TSAR Bomba? Or any of it's over 6,600 nuclear weapons? (Russia's standard nuclear yield missiles/bombs are so much more powerful the USAs)
The AK-47 is the most used weapon on the planet and the most reliable.
First rockets to enter space. Russia flies the majority of supplies to the ISS.
As a matter of fact you should look up Russian inventions/discoveries throughout history. Some of the most brilliant chemists and physicists have come out of Russia. And their discoveries have been widely adapted and used by the rest of the world.
Stop making Russia and Russians seem like some caveman goliath, running around with a club and a rock. Because it's not.
We must take them seriously or we won't be ready if something actually happens.
@@PackaGame I’m talking Combat proven claims. Comment was only directed at weapons systems!!! So how about staying on subject. AK47 is a formidable rifle, and one of the main reasons it is so popular is because it’s Cheap.
Mig-31
@@BeardofBeesPool Combat Proven! Only thing a Mig-31 ever shot down was another MIG-31
They have a budget like the UKs, but a vastly larger army. Even if they do get some things cheaper (soldiers pay fx) it is obvious they cut corners.
They can only finance mass production of all their newest, fancy hardware by finding futue buyers for it, and as such they (Russia) have an interest in being portrayed as “on the cutting edge, or even ahead of the US and China in military hardware”.
They’re not.
Considering the gun was not moving independently from the tank boy, I don't think it is stabilized to fire while in motion and remain on target, it looks like an old piece of crap with a few electronic toys and an independant crew compartment. So after blowing the gun off the thing you might have to get closer before killing the crew, if they don't die from the shockwave of whatever hits their tank.
and dont forget vast amounts of their defence spedning goes to maintaining a ridiculous amount of nuclear weapons (why do you need 6000 nukes compared to say the 400 china has they provide the same deterant) and a massive old soviet navy they dont need and wouldnt be able to use in a conflict (no useable warm water ports)
russia has an economy smaller than brazil we should remember that
