  • This was definitely an interesting meme when it originally happened in the Ukraine war, but with how many times it probably has, this is actually a decent PSA for how to manage it

    Thx for reacting my video!
    Good memories, it was interesting day when we helped our farmer-friend to remove all those abandoned military vehicles from his field. It was a hard day's work, but I learned a lot of new things about foreign tanks and other fighting vehicles.
    You are absolutely right that we used too thin towing chains, and towing should be done by towing bars anyway. But our local farmer friend have to use what ever easily available.

    This with tractors pulling tanks is not April Fools, as Swedish journalists have filmed in Ukraine how farmers towed away broken Russian and Ukrainian tanks.

      Absolutely. This is real. Russia has lost 475,000+ men, and more equipment than you can imagine. Especially if you were used to dealing with these reports, look at the reports of visually destroyed Russian military equipment. It's staggering. 10'000+ fighting vehicles across the different spectrums.

    There were military stories about some company actually managing to lose a tank in an exercise. Really don't know if it was real or not, as with these stories its very 50/50. But the story was during winter in a snowstorm, so I can kinda see that happening. Don't know how long it took for them to find it, probably not that long, but still can easily delay a move that was meant to be done in the morning.

    In Finland 15 year old can get a license for driving a tractor. Teens' pastime is to tow tanks to other people's fields as a prank: "onni Traktori ajelulla".

    Forward observations Group has a video on their channel from a recent deployment to Ukraine where he shows his drone footage of 12,…TWELVE Russian tanks in the middle of a river abandoned , looks like they all tried to storm through a river and ALL got stuck middle of river and abandoned the tanks. WILD! Imagine a US Tank Battalion getting 12 Abrams tanks stuck and just walking away from them!???

    There is actually a couple of places here in the states that you can operate different types of tanks and such. There is one in Texas that I know of and another in Alabama.

  • @mikkorenvall428

    I guess Russian military has a tradition of abandoning tanks to the field. As a finnish tank General told from a continious war, when russian armor got caught in the armor barrier and was unable to advance, a few close-range cannon shots were enough to cause panic and the crews to abandon their equipment. "we didn't mind getting 10-15 new and more modern equipment from our own fleet almost undamaged or completely intact." In fact, Finland doubled its own tank fleet during the war by capturing abandoned enemy tanks. I wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainians could do the same.

    • @mikkorenvall428
      @mikkorenvall428 Місяць тому +4

      Tank ain't fighting back in this theory. Tractors are from 6-7 tons up to 40-50 tons, and tractors are engineered for towing heavy gear so it's plausable to tow tanks around. In fact towing that military uses are much lighter machines.

    • @Ganiscol
      @Ganiscol Місяць тому +6

      A large plow poses much more resistance than a tank with tracks that arent stuck. Weight is much less relevant than rolling resistance.

    • @ristusnotta1653
