- Sooner or later, any piece of hardware becomes obsolete, and combat vehicles are no exception. With the arrival of new weapons, better armour and more sophisticated technologies, all vehicles inevitably come to a point when they have to be phased out. With that said, some of them remain in service for many decades, sometimes despite the fact that they had a fair share of flaws when they were first introduced. Today we’re going to talk about those long-lasting veterans: vehicles that can still kick some serious butt despite their age.

The north korean T-34 still in service act as last resort reserved unit
Also some other countries like Cuba still have the T-34 in (i think limited) service
Mostly they use T-34 platform for various reasons (like Phong Kong)
I think you mean their primary vehicle still.
@@setesh1294 no they use t-55s as their main and some sort of new 2019 design too and with a couple t-80UNKs and t-80Us
@@Ahmed_Hasan_ Ch'ônma-ho and P'okp'ung-ho. They are heavily modernized and modified T-62s. Intelligence suggests that NKPA does field T-72s, T80Us, and various other tanks, but it's difficult to get accurate intelligence concerning NKPA equipment out there. They don't call it the "Hermit Kingdom" for nothing. Not very much is known about that new tank seen last year. The hull looks to be based on the T-14 Armata but with a manned turret. It could be an export model of the T-14, or maybe a result of the Russians sharing technology with the North Korean government. Hopefully we will be able to learn more about it before too much time passes.
Fun fact : in Indonesia, there's a single M3 Stuart still in "active service" as a showpiece, it's hull number is 40-32, it's captured from the Netherlands and was used by the Indonesian army at the time, when the army was modernized, all of the Stuarts were either scrapped or became monuments except for two tanks, however one of them was cannibalized for spare parts for the 40-32 and is now a monument in Palembang, so this tank is the only one running in the whole country, the tank is intended to be preserved in running condition for as long as possible, the tank still kept it's original engine with spare parts still dating from WW2, it's cannon was even still working, though there was no ammunition to fire it, all in all, the tank was almost 100% original, with the exception of some antennas being decorations and it's spark plug from an AMX-13, it is now stationed at Pussenkav (Cavalry Weapon Centre) in Bandung.
And a bit off topic here, but the tank was so old supernatural stuff began happening to it, there's a case where the engine suddenly turned on by itself, lights turning on by itself, and a certain fragrant smell which in Indonesia usually indicates a supernatural presence.
There are also some old tanks still serving the Indonesian army, both AMX-13 and PT-76s are still in service with the army and marines respectively, both have upgraded with newer weapons and FCS, with the AMX-13 receiving a new 105mm gun and the PT-76 receiving a new 90mm gun
Interesting! I have heard about the stuart some times ago! also if I'm not mistaken a friend told me there's a modified chi-ha with something similar to a 2-pounder or 6-pounder gun become a display somewhere in Malang
@@Ozwaffen ah yes I know that one too, it's the Chi-Ha on Brawijaya Museum, it's gun was replaced with a QF 6-Pounder
Brazil continued to use modernized, and upgunned, Stuarts into the 1980s and 1990s. They were comparable to the AMX-13/90
Les go indonesian tech tree
Like Chinese tech tree, many vehicles from other nation
Apparently Paraguay still has ten of the things

True cus the armor of the t-34 is stalinium
Of course that's gonna happen it's op since it's been made with stalinium and bias the strongest materials in the world
Can you guys help me? Everytime i launch War Thunder i must analyzing filea everytime, pls help me solve this problem :(
Its absolutely shame soviet heavies were never modernized like these monsters. Well they were absolute beyond saving but i would love to see an IS-3 with ERA and NERA blocks making it a bulky beast.
IS-7 with ERA armor is a scary thought. The IS-7 was the best tank by leagues when it was designed. It had a very high top speed with good acceleration, easy crew handling, and armor that no weapon it would come across could dream of punching through. Unfortunately, though the vehicle was the most praised of any at the time and highly loved by nearly everyone who was involved with it, it never saw mass production due to doctrine issues. The reason they decided not to employ the vehicle was simply because a tank that can't reliably get to the battlefield is not worth the effort. I believe this was not a great choice and IS-7s should have been homeland defense.
The "Tank of extreme parameters" is an incredibly expensive, heavy tank, produced individually, but having incredible parameters of protection and firepower.The idea was proposed by engineer Shashmurin, the father of heavy Soviet tank construction. With the death of comrade Stalin, the projects were closed, and the idea was soon completely forgotten and replaced by the idea of mass MBT. If this had not happened , there would have been heavy and super-heavy tanks with dynamic, combined protection and powerful guns of at least 152mm caliber.
Imagine an Object 705 with combined and dynamic protection, with a gun of object 120. And this in the 1960s.
@@evilfurryfromnowhere4100 Thats a shame. Doesnt sound that effective considering history of tank development but pretty cool.
@@Phapchamp A lot of reactive and composite armor actually works better with flat angles, unlike features such as the pike nose on the IS-3. Though there are some exceptions such as Nozh and Duplet, so I do wonder about those.
Another big issue with heavy tanks is mobility. With powerful and accurate guided missiles (some of which can be guided to attack weakspots such as the top of a tank) and deadlier aircraft, having lots of armor became a bit less useful compared to things such as agility and speed in the modern battlefield (where fast and fluid movement is key).
While trophy systems that intercept missiles could reduce some of the threats posed by rocket launchers, it is worth noting that advanced and deadly tank ammunition such as APFSDS is still another threat that armor on modern tanks must face, and so avoiding getting hit is often a better option than just taking them.
the IS-4m was a good attempt to improve on the IS design, the engineers only failed to give it a better gun or ammo
In italy the M60s is still used by the Geniere regiments ( something similar to the Royal Engineers) as a bridge thrower or a recovery vehicle, but in the next 5 years they will be tepalced by a modified version of the Leopard 1s that are still in service in the italian army
I think t-55 deserved spot on a list
Yeah, many countries still use T-55 even today.

@@Hot_Sky_Astronomy France did this once with a M8/M20
The T-72 could be added to the list. The Russians still rely on the T-73B3 variant to compose the bulk of their armored forces. Multiple other countries still rely on export versions of the tank. The Polish army is only now looking at replacing their T-72's with M1A2 Abrams for example.
Are you sure they are wanting to replace their T72s with Abrams? It is a rather outdated tank design and the polish already have the Leopard 2PL which they built rather recently, and have officially stated they want to build 200 more 2PL varient for their tank force
If Polish army replaces T-72s with M1 Abrams it would be were bad logistically. Most east European bridges very build to hold weight of Soviet tanks and were meant to fall apart if heavier, western tanks drove over them, making NATO forces imcapable of crossing rivers by every bridge exept the big ones. Leopard Is a much better option, because Its much lighter than Abrams and it can cross those bridges without a big problem
polish t72 has base armor equal to t72a ..if it was t72b it could be used for few more decades with modern ERA
Aren’t polish replacing their T-72’s with leopard 2?
@@shroder2748 Yes it has been confirmed that Poland has ordered 250 M1A2 Abrams tanks.
An old Leo 2A4 even with modern updates is not remotely comparable to the latest Abrams version, the M1A2 SEP v3, specially in terms of crew protection, FCS, and TIS capabilities.
I had the same question, but no, they are getting Abrams tanks due to the reasons listed and many others.
You forgot the Leopard 1 Tank. From 1965 and it is still in service with other countries.
The ISU-152 was in service from WW2 until the 80s, where some were used to clear out structures in the Chernobyl exclusion zone.
Pz IV from the beginning to the end and a little beyond. Never ending improvements and perhaps they would have included the frontal armor stile of the Jpz IV into the normal models.
Panzer 4 and jagpanzer 4 saw service in two battles after WW2 where they were used by Syria to very poor effect...
German tanks from WW2 simply seem cursed to break down or get broken down, like Frances' Panther tanks they had to retire because they all broke down.
@@spamuraigranatabru1149 against Centurions...
Instead of Panzer IV i would rather say Leopard I and II.
@@Ghostmaxi1337 Isreal didn't have Centurions yet.. and even then Shermans were used against them and rapidly destroyed them int he second (and last) battle the panzer 4 was in.
@@spamuraigranatabru1149 true true but even a tiger 2 in 1945 including fuel shortages still had a higher ready rate then almost all chieftain tanks till the mk5 also on that note u said about it. Their transmission lived on average longer then most other tanks issue being u couldn't repair them as easily cuz I am more then convinced 150Km reach of a panther is 30 more then the average 120 just a example tho so meme yes thruth no but a close one nonetheless
Man sounds like the David Attenborough of war, and I love it
XD
if you have M51 Super Sherman it would be a great another additions to long service tank.
A sherman with APFSDS ammo...
Well... The Polish Army will use the BMP-1 (probably with the Malutka ATGM) together with the M1A2 (most likely SEPv3). Ah, how not to love concreteheads in the army.
so polish army won't buy korean k2 tank as they intended
@@linhlekhanh1464 ehh they had a choice K2 was only a proposal but they chose to buy 250 M1A2 SEPv3
@@linhlekhanh1464 Not much as buy, original plan was to build K2 on license. K2PL Wolf was proposed as improvement of original K2 design, adjusted for European theatre

@@gigihsetiawanp62 they said Poles will get ones with DU
The M113 armored personnel carrier entered service with the US Armed Forces in 1960 and gave rise to a dizzying variety of variations and configurations, some of which are still in service with various military forces around the world to this day. Several variants are represented in the game, such as the M113A1 TOW, M901 ITV, and the M163 VADS.
No AMX-13 or AMX-30 ? Or even AML still in service with ATGMs ?
Oui! Why?
gaijin hates the france
@@gabrifch Deserved
@@MrAzney why?
The M36 Chafee was in service until 2018 here in Uruguay and was retired because there were no more parts and supplies for them. Still, modified M41 Walker Bulldogs are in use here. Talk me about old
Pls do sth about Ammo disappears when we shoot almost at the same time with enemy, and doesn't hit the enemy. Secondly pls fix the invisible tanks, this is the worst. And last thing, pls fix volumetric armor, even in modern tanks when i shoot side of the enemy tank it doesn't pen with sabot. Please gaijin. Your game is beautiful when these things are fixed
Try fixing your crew skills for the invisible tanks.
Actually the Indonesian marines still use the PT-76 too
Jangan lupa bmp-3 juga kak
cambodia also use pt 76 too
I guess almost every nations that have swamps, rivers, and lakes still operate PT-76. It reliable for amphibious role
@@muhamadrizkyadrian9105 yes indeed, but indonesia also made their own new tank boat
I gues every nation that is close enough with the soviet back then could buy arsenals from them
The SU85, and other WWII tanks such as a few variants of the Churchill, the CV-33, and some others did serve in the Iraqi army under Saddam Hussein, and other various types of soviet tanks have been noted to been in use during the Syrian civil war.
The Leopard 1 was introduced i 1964 and is still in use
So is the AMX-30 (as eng vehicle in France and as a tank in Venezuela)
No mention of 1958 (mle. 1958 with 105mm anti tank) AMX-13s though
I was going to say the Type 74, but that was replaced by the Type 90 pretty quickly. It's still used in demonstrations though.
the type 74 is still in active service, iirc its still japans most numerous tank even
The M48 hits different, especially with the German one with the 90mm having a direct counterpart in the American tree, yet having a lower BR. They perform about the same, yet the German gets a lower BR? Makes sense. Just like how the Jagdpanther and the T20 are at the same BR because they’re obviously of equal value.
T-34's are still in very limited service for couple of places + used as reserve forces (85mm gun is still 85mm gun). Last Sherman stopped serving in 2018 in Paraguay, Stuart light tank supposedly is still active over there, though I don't think it survived past the Sherman decomission (both of these were activated again in 2014, so lasted few years until final death).
I think people need to remember.
The Sherman was still in service until 2018, making it the longest service life of any tank (then again its final years were just a parade tank used by paraguay)
technically the M3 stuart remained in service with brazil until the 1980s although we modernized them so much that you couldn't call it an M3A3 anymore
The Merkavas actually made around 1970 still lasts till today and estimated another 20 years life span!!!
I love seeing these videos it gives more facts in game and you can use those
The M36 "Jackson" has been in service in various countries for a long while too. Pakistan, Yugoslovia, Serbia and others as late as the 1990's. Evidently there are a couple of M36's still working in the Tiwanese army.
i wish every documentary in the world was narrated by this epic narrator of warthunder
In South Korea Some M48A3K
Still used by ROK Marine Corps.
And, Some M48A5K used by ROK Army. Also Some M48A5K and M48A3K used by Reserve Forces
I saw M48A5K when i service in military. M48A5K usually deployed in The eastern front(GangWon province)
Paraguay is still using M3 Stuarts. Uruguay still use M41 and M24. The Leopard 1 are still in service in many countries. M47s and M48s Pattons are still used in many countries. AMX-13s are still in service in Indonesia.
Since we're talking about positively ancient tanks on a modern battlefield, when will we get the X1A2 Brazilian Stuart, Gaijin?
Remember, i think the sherman was the grandfather of gyroscopes becuz it was the first tank to ever have one, if you font have much mobility, you don't really need one, but if you're quick , step right up
>Forgot to mention that the Merkava started out as a modified, modernized Centurion that changed over time
you have boosted the performance of the leopard 1 so much that all the chieftains, that used to be okayish MBT back in the days they were introduced, are now utterly impossible to use. gg for ruining yet another set of my favorite vehicles.
As bad as the M60's can be at times they all have a very warm spot in my heart for them and I absolutely love playing them
Would be neat to see the Jordanian M60 Phoenix in game, hopefully as a not-too expensive premium maybe.
yank light tanks like the M5 ,M24 & the M41 are still used
Greece have the BMP1 on service and the M48 mbt. I think they could all stay in War Thunder because they are pretty good
You forgot T72
Suprisingly a good number of M24 Chaffee and 37mm M2 still in operational within South American countries.
You should add a feature that when you land you can change your ordnance loadout. Lets say I was playing a F-4 Phantom and I was bombing away at tanks and now there are enemy aircraft in the skies, I could fly back to base a rearm with a Air to Air loadout instead. Maybe when you land it brings up the "respawn" interface but you can only change the loadout for your plane, or you to change the loadout it might be a certain amount of Spawn Points. Just a idea that might change how the game is played and add more diversity to the battles.
there is this feature
just land repair and rearm then press j and you will be returned to the respawn menu
@@yes1603 But you cant change the loadout unless you have enough SP and a backup

the T-34 is still in service with Cuba, Bosnia, Republic of the Congo, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Namibia, North Korea, Yemen and Vietnam.
kinda miss the Leopard 1 MBT in that list.
introduced in 1963 and implemented into service in 1995 Leopard 1 MBT are still in service today in a few contries, although heavily modernized.
Canada uses a version called 1C2 with the "MEXAS" armor package

I don’t think this comment will be noticed, but can y’all add the M48A3 to the game for the American tech tree? It was a very common vehicle during the Vietnam War. Plus, it seems strange that other countries have better versions of American MBT’s than the Americans do at the same tier. Thanks
Mans missed the comet, still in service in Myanmar, over 80 years after it went into service
Leopard 1 : Alright Imma head out
They did forget about the leopard 1 enetring service at 1964 and many countries still have it
they're like the m1903 sniper rifle old but gold
even as an honorable mention the kv2 is a formidable foe at even 11.0 , il be it a heavily altered playstyle at any br above it , it can be a good ambush unit and could be useful as just a roadblock in a ally or tight road to hinder the enemy
the T-34/85 is still seeing front line service in Yemen,they are used as self propelled artillery
If it lasted for more than 30 years, it means it is really powerful and reliable.

There is a reason why many nations use older tanks since a tank is better then no tank.
btw other long lasting tanks are the M3 Stuart and M24 Light tanks
AMX-13 surely the long serving tanks even for today, it still operate as reliable recon & infantry support tank

does anyone know the name of the music used at the beginning of the video? Or is that just something unique to war thunder shows?
Sherman's and T34's are fun to use
T54 1947 now still in service in Vietnam people army and they just got a new upgrade recently
The type 74 has been in service for awhile now, even when the they made the type 90 they still used it and I’m pretty sure the type 10 was supposed to replace the type 74
T-34 76 1942 can be a pain to play against, but im not sure if someone is still useing it
It hasn't been around quite as long as the T-64 but the T-72 has been around quite awhile and has been used by a whole lot more countries. I imagine the list of countries that haven't used it would be shorter than those that have.
I had to check my playback speed on this one
You missed the M3 and M5 Stuart light tanks. They are STILL serving in South America.
The Type 61 of the Japanese Self Defence Force is still in reserve service today, it was introduced in the early 60s
In Brazil we still have leopard 1s M60 patrons for example!
And Renault FT17 from 1917 until 40-50! In some countrys
I know its off the topic but from my point of view T80U should have smaller repair cost while fully upgraded 6200 SL ( IT doesnt have 2th era termals , it have bad reverse speed , awfull gun depression and it takes ages for the gun to go up/down) and T80BWM should have a little bigger Like 4500 SL ( Tank meta , IT doesnt have that good armour , better shells , gen 2 termals , great gun , bad reverse speed )
Ironic because most Soviet vehicles during WW2 and shortly after were almost single use, they were intended to be produced easily, cheap, and able to be maintained in the field. Just proves that intelligent engineering beats complexity and over-engineering.
With the big guns on planes can you use the A-26 American strike plane it has two 57 mm cannons and I'd like to see how you use them in the shooting range
