- Several days ago, we got a video of a close range tank battle, where a Ukrainian tank sneaks up to a Russian tank and takes it out from the side, from behind the foliage...

THIS is a very rare moment of modern tank battles
If we keep in mind that video caught it and it was issued to go into web (as I doubt that officer would be proud of you streaming where are your regiment) and it got traction this neither is even more impressive or shows us that its not so uncommon.
even more rare it's not 144 p, "finally some good fucking footage."
Tank v tank battles are extremely rare.
Even more rare are ones getting captured on tape.
There was a video, ukrainian t64 filmed from a moving car, when car passed it, and after several seconds tank had been hit by russian tank, and turn to a fireball, driver who recorded it pull over to the road side, swearing in fear
Yep t 64
People so often don't understand just how limited your vision is in a tank. You have a couple sights that can swivel around, and everything else is vision blocks. This is why drones and infantry are so important for tanks!
This is mostly the case on russian tanks,most other NATO tanks have 360 thermal CITV plus all around periscopes for the commander
@@PoliviosSavva Its still one person that has majority of the vision and its easy for tank commander sight to be fixed on one position especially in combat situation
@@PoliviosSavva"most other NATO tanks have 360 thermal CITV" yeah, no. "plus all around periscopes for the commander" Pretty much same thing in Soviet/Russian tanks.
that 360 thermal has to be turning left or right for a bit to scan around it, with not the most fov, making it still quite encased with only vision where the turret or camera is pointing. @@PoliviosSavva
Theyre starting to put 360 cameras on newer NATO tanks (challenger 3) which will make a huge difference, much like the way F35s work in which the pilot can look all around him as if the aircraft is made of glass
If it was war thunder, the heat would have been caught by the bushes and saved the T-90
If it was War Thunder the ERA would've eaten the shell entirely and the second shot would've been stopped by the tracks
Yea funny that, HEAT Irl gives no shits about bushes or fences
Same with Combat Mission Black Sea
If this was war thunder, these Soviet era tanks would’ve been weathering direct artillery hits, APFSDS rounds and the ammunition wouldn’t cook off

Hey, an enemy tank sneaking up on you would such as infantry too.
Huh, never noticed it before but at 3:33 after the first shot someone actually managed to get the f out of that t-90 moments before the second shot shown. You can see someone jumping down from the turret and then exit into the shelterbelt on the left side of the tank. I thought it was smoke first but it moves against the wind so can't be that.
Yeah, it should be a driver. I wondered how many crews survived after direct hits with ammo detonation in t62/72/80/90 during soviet/russian wars at caucasian region.
@@arcvlad
If something is powerful enough to penetrate armor and instantaneously detonate the payload, it usually kills the crew along the way.
Whoever that was was probably not far enough away when the 2nd shot got fired.
You can see him running into the hedge shadow at 3:38 @@Cylus024
It also seems like someone came from the front of the tank just before the 2nd shot. He probably didn't make it.
@@Cylus024Oh yea, to me it looks like he basically got out, hit the ground (maybe). and immediately got smoked.

I wonder how close the Shermans and Panzers fighting in the hedgerows of Normandy were compared to this.
Same distance. Except it happened normally unlike this
On a larger scale. But exactly like this.
British report (for Normandy, I think) was:
Up to 400m = 36%
400m to 1200m = 59.5%
Over 1200m = 4.5%
At such a close distance, who ever shoots first wins. Even a Sherman can defeat a Tiger within 100m
“The 75mm main gun is firing. The 37mm secondary gun is firing, but it’s traversed round the wrong way. The Browning [machine gun] is jammed. I am saying, ‘Driver advance’ on the A set, but the driver - who can’t hear me - is reversing. And as I look over the top of the turret, and see 12 enemy tanks, just 50 yards away, someone hands me a cheese sandwich.”
I wonder how many lives were lost to reverse gear alone
Livers? not many but lives quite a few
i mean, it's being a smartass now, but when you have bad reverse and notice an enemy that sneaked up next to you, you don't slowly crawl back as they can move forward, you go full speed forward. you'll have a better chance of them being surprised.
but also that's a video game tactic, guys probably didn't see shit, doubt they knew it was a tank right next.

THIS is why old tanks are not useless. It's all about being in the right place and at the right time i.e. tactics.
If nothing else, old Russian T-54 and T-62 tanks can secure areas not immediately threatened, thereby freeing up the more modern stuff for attacks.
EDIT: I am no Army man so, I'm not well versed on tanks in battle. Using tanks as mobile artillery support for infantry makes sense.
Also infantry will run from tanks regardless of the tanks age
I mean there is just an insane gap between T64 in Ukrainian modification and pulled from storage is a 60 year old piece of t62 or even t55/54 without some basic stuff such as gun stabilization or thermal or even in some cases modern optics, but in most cases without Contact-1.
@@dindrmindr626 Doesn't matter here. The T90 got popped, assassin-style, at point blank range. It's superior active armor wasn't enough in this situation.
Old, meaning not the most modern upgrades on it, can be used for secondary roles and free up the better tanks for riskier operations. That was my assertion.
@@pashok1641 In this particular encounter, the Uke's tank popped the T90 tank, assassin style. No gun stabilization needed. Just a smart tank commander and a lucky situation.
Even if T-54 is little more than a mobile field gun today, that is still extremely useful.

The T-64 crew knew the T-90 crew mains Germany. That’s why they could sneak up that close to the side 😂

Typical German main. Even they changed for another tech tree they still maintain the "old but good" playing habit like that 😂

Took too long lining up that sweet shot, then some random T34/54/64 sneaked up to you side... but when I try to sneak up I always get one shotted by someone on the other side of the map.
Another T90m was destroyed. And the turret popped off.
Right before that 2nd shot you can see a Russian running from the tank

Thx for aways doing so much research it always amazes me the way you can do these things thx
This was such a long time ago
you right
The type of round that took out the T-90was most likely the type of round that happened to be in the barrel of the T-64 at that time. That is how these things happen.
It probably was a HEAT round. They make a bigger boom than a Sabot round.
T64 earned 30k Silver Lion and 5k modification research points.
Without a help of the drone, both were passing each other without a glitch..it can happened with all tanks, modern or not , with a same fate, no matter what defense armor has against point blank shoot..T64 had a time for at least 4-5 rounds even for a M1 turnng turret or reverse speed..
In War Thunder, a single T-90 takes Ukraine in a day.
T-64 is stock heat grinding 💀
It's still miles better than the stock US Bulldog with that damn APCR lol
Tank battles are all about who spots and fires at who first. A T-64 could knock out a Challenger 2 if it spots and shoots it first.
The Challenger is far more likely to spot the T-64 first though.

Weird to see tanks operate by themselves would think they would operate in pairs or with support from mechanized infantry
How do you know there isn't infantry nearby though ? Just because we can't see them in the video doesn't mean they're not there.

It seems keeping numbers low to avoid and easy artilary target is preffered over lots of units covering each other but making it happy hour for artillary.
@@r200ti True I don't disagree but I've seen so many comments like these, even on videos where you can clearly see IFVs next to the tanks.
Like footage of a convoy of IFVs and Tanks going through a minefield and being shot at by arty, and everytime idiots in the comment sections asking "WhErEs ThE iNfAnTrY sUppOrT ?"
It's not crazy to think that the infantry/mecanized infantry could have been in the area, just not right next to the tanks.
That doesn't really work with drones. If you have a large force like that near the tank it'll likely be spotted.
It's why Russia operates with one or two tanks with infantry further back where they can cover to some extent. Ukraine tried to get in to a village with tanks and infantry in the past got spotted and got struck by a drone.
Where infantry would go in an open field... in urban it make sense to have infantry to support the tank. But in the open field, where infantry can take cover and provide support for the tank... to counter something like.... tank.
People forgot that in Gulf war, M1 Abrams work with IFV, not infantry to attack Iraqi tanks.
Infantry only helpful to provide support tank in the urban, on the open field would be stupid to put infantry on a plain open field to follow the tank...

Crazy to have this kind of front row seat to a war as it unfolds.
Iam sorry but front row seats are usualy in/on front (line). Here on the internet you can see just scraps of reality in poor quality. Sure we have many videos from the war but i think people are used to that nowdays, it was new in the 90s and first Gulf War. Not even talking about manipulation. It would be very nice if we got unfiltered access to data but you can bet your salary that pictures we see are viewed by officials and released with some reson behind it and i dont think that reason is to keep you informed.
@@DaweSMF It maybe filterd, it maybe only a small glimpse. But add some thinking and the horror unfolds fully. My personal nightmare are those drone videos, showing (no matter which side) soldiers acting all normal even seconds before the hit. I remember a video of an ucraine M113 who got hit by a suicide drone. In the last frames, you could see the driver doing stuff relaxed on his phone. In every war before, there was at least a whisper or a bang of a fired artillery shell, may only snipers could achive such "silent kills". Now you have to watch the sky 24/7 for an object sometimes not bigger as a piggeon, which could crash in your position at any moment, sometimes even miles n miles behind the front line.
@DaweSMF I respectfully disagree. The men in or on the frontlines don’t have a “front row seat” cause they are participating in it directly. Front row seat implies you are watching not participating. We are the spectators they are like the athletes in a sport or actors in a play.
I said front row seat because this is easily the fastest and most unfiltered footage of war we ever had due to the speed this stuff is getting uploaded. Can’t compared this to heavily edited footage from wars like gulf war that the major news networks got to put their spin on. The footage being uploaded from both sides daily on unfiltered places like telegram blows away the anytime we’ve ever seen from previous wars.
@@wilhelmpfusch3699 We have such videos from WW2. Not from drones ofc but there was no shortage of burnt corpses and other horrors. To me it seems like many see it as some kinda football match they are able to watch live on TV. No, you watch what you are allowed to watch. Its filtered many times, from source, through governments to private entities like YT/Google itself. Any potential leak will be scrubbed by YT itself, its in their own interest to protect themselves.
You can certainly take the information but imo thinking its some "deeper knowledge" or simply something more than distorted image is foolish.
@@mowabb Sure, in that case we are not even in the same room. Iam not here to debate your or my personal definition, my point was to show the absurdity of the statement. People nowdays think if they watch a video on YT they have live insight. Again, no we dont watch even record. We watch reflection on water through distorted glass bottle.
I think differently. We see the same, just from "different angle". Technology changed, not much else.
To me "front row seat" means you see very well whats going on and sorry but i dont believe anybody outside of people involved (under supervision) have such view.
Again, you can think otherwise but i explained my view, you can have yours.

Another nice video.

Dude that T-90s crew were most likely a german main
And there's the reason why tanks with better sensor packages and vision but have weaker armorusualy beat out tougher, heavier tanks. Nowadays basically every tank gun and ammo has enough power to take out every other type of tank in a single well aimed hit, so winning is way more about seeing your enemy first and positioning rather than slugging it out, like it sometimes happened in ww2 (at least according to reports).
Getting that first shot out is a massive advantage. One of the Sherman's major advantages was that it had a (for the time) good stabilizer on the gun that allowed for snap shots while moving. Germans generally had to stop and let the tank settle to get a good shot out. I guess that's not a huge problem when you're fighting a defensive war but it does make firing a shot while backing up way more difficult and/or luck based.
That's how a greyhound armored car took out a german tiger (although I believe it was a panzer IV since they look similar in basic profile). The Armored car saw the German tank first and was able to get into position to fire a shot without being noticed.
In general, the frontal armor is designed to be able to take a hit from enemy armor defeating weapons. Also, one of the missions of a tank is to draw fire away from the IFVs in the assault. The best way to maintain situational awareness is for the TC to keep his hatch open and stick his head out unless under artillery fire or there's antitank weapons. (And with flat-trajectory penetrators fired from modern tank guns - nothing's going to come in the hatch anyway.
This is why the TC's hatch on the M1 series tank can be opened so that it goes straight up for several inches - giving the tank commander a decent view of what's going on around the tank. It's designed so that when you look out the top of your head is protected and everything from your nose down is protected also.
@@colincampbell767 thank god for the nose protection. a bullet to the nose is definitely deadly, but you can easily get away with a few bullets to the eyes.
hahahah
@@issadraco532 It' isn't safe - but is it safer than not knowing what's going on around your tank. Tank on tank combat is fast and lethal. The first one to see the other is going to be the first one to shoot - and the first one to shoot generally kills the other. The difference between life and death is generally less than 10 seconds.
And this is even more important if the TC's sights are slaved to the gunner's sights. Looking at the same thing your gunner is - is a waste of a set of eyeballs. In fact, one of my concerns about three-man crews is the loss of a set of eyeballs. Standard for us was both the TC and loader having our heads out of the hatch and scanning each side and behind our tank. A critical TC skill was to be able to point the main gun at a target accurately enough that it would appear in the gunner's sights with your heard still out of the turret.
It's all about being faster than the enemy tank. Getting a hit before he can fire.
@@colincampbell767 hahahah i was just kidding, of course it's much better to have a hatch that can go up like that and give you as good of a view as you possibly can while still protecting your face.
tanks might be vulnerable and may not even get the chance to make it back in one piece or even get to do their thing before getting disabled by one of those little jihadist drones, but if anyone is gonna use tanks, it sure beats having to be in one of those eighty year old rusty soviet garbage cans that the reds are pulling out of tank museums and shipping off to the front. those things don't just get disabled by a mine or a little drone or whatever like a modern western tank, they literally blow up into a million pieces with the turret flying into orbit.
i bet we are not going to be seeing much of that with the abrams. heck, even those old german tanks were alright based on the footage that i have seen so far. might get disabled and stuck in a crappy position forcing the guys inside to ditch it and run away, but they ain't blowing up and going into orbit.
still crazy though that people have to rely on physically sticking their head out in order to be able to see.. just goes to show how crappy the visibility must be. scanning around with your little camera while there might be a tank nearby that pops up out of nowhere like you said and that takes you out within seconds without anyone having the time to even notice it, much less react and do something about like move or fire at them first or something.
but speaking of visibility, not sure if i am crazy or if i saw footage of a tank or armored vehicle that had little windows that seemed to go around and offer some visibility. i don't remember very well, and i don't think it had the person turning around to show the whole thing, but it seemed liked the entire view of the camera in the footage had those little windows that covered maybe a 120 degree section around the tank. maybe they had them everywhere for a full 360 degree view, or maybe it was just for the front section wherever the turret is pointing, i'm not sure. but still, that must be like a window for every like 20 degrees of vision, and they were probably thicker than they were tall, so it's probably like looking through the bottom of a thick beer mug or something. better than nothing, but still nowhere close to actually looking with your own eyes by sticking your head out.
am i crazy or have you ever seen something like that? can't remember if it was a tank or armored vehicle so absolutely no idea what kind of model it could have been, but definitely something with a turret.
by the way, i don't really get what you mean with the whole thing about pointing the turret in the right direction for the bad guys to appear on the screen.. not sure exactly how that is possible. does the guy that check the camera spend his time zoomed all the way in constantly or what? because it seems like if the other guy looking at the screen wasn't totally zoomed in, then just pointing the turret roughly the correct general direction would be good enough and allow the guy to then notice that "okay, buddy just pointed me somewhere, must be a reason, oh right here's an enemy tank here" and then spot it pretty quickly. the only way that it would have to be really precise would be if the guy is really zoomed in causing even just a 10 degree difference to prevent the thing from showing up on the screen. but then in that case, how would the guy that is just sticking his head out and looking from far away with just his own eyes be able to spot things like that better than just the guy on the camera scanning around himself? just seems like one of those things where getting it just "eh, seems good enough" wouldn't be that difficult if the guy is zoomed out, and then become almost impossible or not even relevant or desirable anymore if the guy is really zoomed in and the target is really far away because then the dude looking out with just his eyes wouldn't be able to spot anything from such distances, meaning that having him turn the turret around like that would actually become more of a hindrance than anything else instead of just letting the guy with the camera do his thing. how does that work exactly? and is the camera even smooth and i guess smart enough to stay precisely focused on what it's looking at from a crazy distance like 2 miles away or whatever despite someone else suddenly turning the turret out of nowhere? because then if that is an issue, then i guess there would be a distance beyond which guys would go like "alright, i'm really zoomed in, don't touch anything or it will mess me up and i'll lose the target"..
speaking of beer mugs, i know i saw that footage of the euro tanks, i think those german ones, with the beer mug sitting at the tip of the gun while the tank drives through pretty rough terrain, and it has some nice stabilization system that is so smooth that not a single drop of the precious liquid is spilled! and from what i remember those euro german tanks have the same guns as the abrams, so i guess the abrams would be at least as good and as smooth or even better! but then again, that might look impressive when you just look at it like that, but at the same time, the number of variables that come into play when shooting and wanting great precision from such massive distances is just crazy. so it might be just "cool, beer isn't spilling, i guess that's really good" but might actually have moved a ton and still has to be adjusted before firing despite the whole beer stunt thing. because there just has to be a big difference between a beer mug that has like an inch of room to not spill over, versus getting a precise shot from like 2 miles away.. and the camera thing must be even crazier since it doesn't just have to deal with its own axis of rotation, but also the rotation of the turret and the rough terrain upon which the tank is driving on top of everything! meanwhile, the gun moves with the turret, so it only has to deal with that and the rough terrain. but yeah, i bet that a camera that is really zoomed in and looking at a distance of like 2 miles away like that will be completely off and you'll be looking like 50 yards on either side or even below or at the sky if the thing moves by even a fraction of an inch or like a single degree.. just basic geometry, and then the guy has to zoom out and look for the target again. so it seems like this whole thing for both the gun and even more so for the camera really depend on how smooth and precise the stabilization is.
but yeah, either way, all of these things that you mention are skills that take a long time to develop. these things might be the best tanks on earth, but if they are used by poorly-trained individuals that got like 12, 18, 24 months of training crammed into like 1-2 months or even in some cases just 3 weeks for some of the ukrainians that got western training from our guys, and they go in believing the whole "oh yeah, game-changing invincible super-weapons, russian cavemen scared, will run away as soon as they us rolling in" and just pull off pages right out of the russian soviet communist playbook and pull off mindless uncoordinated attacks without proper support and just "okay comrades, need take empty field #31 and treeline, go charge gogogo" and send in columns of our western hardware like abrams and bradleys and those euro german tanks straight into minefields in broad daylight with russian drones drooling overhead at the sight of their potential first kills of western hardware and stack up near each other under artillery and basically use these as if they were using some old soviet rusty piece of junk from a tank museum except with just better optics and more firepower, they will still take devastating losses regardless of what they are driving.
takes a while to get really good and experienced crews, and just like with the F-16s and them wanting to make the process faster by recycling already-existing soviet-minded pilots and cramming 3-5 years worth of training into a few months, you are not going to get amazing results with soviet-minded crews. their instincts are already set, and they'll revert back to them automatically when they get overwhelmed and panic, or get confused and mix the two and end up with something even worse and really screw themselves over. the best is to take completely fresh guys and train them properly from start to finish. but i guess this is why pentagon officials kept saying that ukraine doesn't need western tanks and western aircraft and cannot afford them and cannot maintain them and cannot operate them with any degree of effectiveness that would make it worth the trouble given that their military is largely poorly-trained and soviet-minded.. at least until clueless people over at the state department and in the white house got involved and squeezed the generals by the balls and forced them to do things that don't make sense. i genuinely believe that it would take a decade to build up ukraine into something even remotely close to a western military. not even just for the infrastructure and logistics and maintenance facilities and just organizational structure needed to maintain them and repair when they are damaged and when some complex and annoying and critical but unreliable system breaks, but even just to set everything up for them in general and train a whole new set of troops with a fresh western mindset until they eventually become the majority of their military and the whole thing moves to operating more like a proper western military instead of a soviet communist one.
hopefully people and the media stops sugarcoating the issues and exposes everything to light a fire under their asses and get them to realize that it can't go on like this and force them to change course and become smart and genuinely embrace western standards and tactics and even values.
Uptiered. Finally that war thunder knowledge is worth something.
Thanks. it looks like possibly 2 crew got out in the last frames of the video and ran away from the direction the tank came from.
Whoo! more tank battles! 😆
What were they thinking when they made the reverse speed so slow?
It's clearly not about technology, because Soviet tanks of the Second World War had a good reverse speed, unlike Shermans and panthers.
This has puzzled me aswell, I always hear that it's because of "soviet doctrine", but why would your doctrine be so shit, clearly having good reverse speed is super important.
@@haaxeu6501some commissar from pre-ww2 probably came up with it due to the theory that there'd be nowhere to retreat to in a nuclear battlefield.
Mud, unending amounts of mud that why. Slow speed but strong as fuck
Gotta go all the way back to October of last year for anything resembling an advance 😂😂
I only feel bad for the crew though ngl cause being hit multiple times by HE rounds by another tank whilst yours is disabbled is utterly terrifying and unpleasant way to go out
They knew the risk when they signed up to invade Ukraine (I think this footage goes back to before the first waves of Russian mobilization)
@haaxeu6501 Honestly, I feel you're forgetting the point of my statement because you're emphasizing something the political and military leaders decided upon when I was not speaking of them deciding to invade the country I'm speaking of how much of a last moment experience just before a painful yet horrible death the tanks crew just endured.
@@Unknownmarxistj7 Oh yeah I absolutely agree with you, being killed in a metal box sounds like one of the worst death experiences possible.
@@Unknownmarxistj7 ya well, i would rather go to jail then invade my neighbors.
@@haaxeu6501if it was before Russia's first mobilization then there's multiple videos of Russian a who were deployed back then saying they knew nothing about the invasion and didn't know they'd be there for so long
Based, Russian crew got crisp'd.
“based” - 🤓🤓
“ruskie gets desttstroysed by basesed Ukrainianz” with a fucking lisp
Wait, i'm confused, is this is a new video, or an old video? Because as i heard Russia recalled all T-90s to get modernized into T-90M
Also this video is pure War Thunder RB.
Its an older video from like a year ago
T-90m is not made from T-90
T-90M is made from scratch
@@kuunoooo7293it’s not an older video this happened pretty recently
@@vesmeb02lmao no it’s not
@@vesmeb02 there is still the T90AM
The second angle is clearly from the same incident. You can see the smoke plume spat out by the ukrainian armor like a second or two after the initial explosion. Also, the second shot took out some dismounted rats right next to the T-90.
Stock Heat grind is a pain
As a war thunder player (Most credible opinion) it was a skill issue, on the part of the Russian Tank. He got Gaijin'd and was sent back to the hanger.
broski was deaf and had severe tunnel vision like any other russian mains
That reload speed, though.
Autoloader is slow
Yeah !!!! 7000 more to go
"You rushing bastard" "lol, skill issue"
Man these war thunder explosion effects are getting very realistic
There is a merkava mk 4 destroyed in israel now, can you analyse it?
Looked to me like a mortar round was dropped on the upper glacis and started an engine fire. There was probably enough time for the crew to get out as the firewall should prevent the fire from spreading too quickly.
It was not equipped with trophy HKS. (Despite all the stupid cilivilian news claimed so....)
@@johnyricco1220 it hit the turret somewhere and the ammo cooked off not the engine but idk. That is why I wanted him to analyse it.
@@Ryak84 oh yes it was. After the destroyed mk4's in Lebanon. Israel went ahead to develop and upgrade with trophy aps on its Tanks.
what is the outro song ?
Could you make a video that goes over how to tell apart the t64 t72 t80 and the t90
He did already. Look at his older videos
Engineers: We’ve spent l years developing tanks for long range use.
Tank crew uses them in shotgun range.
Engineers: *Pikachu face*
Engineers: .... Well... we designed them for THAT too but... ya know. 🤣
The T90 had a 500% booster active
I dont get it.
A good example for a tank without infantry support.
I was wondering when you’d cover this video. When I first saw it, fuckin mind blowing! Crazy matchup, insane tactics and what a thing to see such a close range duel in a modern conflict! Doesn’t the whole video show the internal explosion? You can also see at least one crewman bail out at 3:35
3:40 you can see at least 2 men, of the tank crew got out into the forrest😮
hope they are OK
Hey war thunder take a good look at how that magic contackt 5 era cant stop even heat rounds without a good amount of armor to back it, bc era is ment to soften the blow and can not stop it out right if its a big round😂
Can we have normal tank videos bro I love your information video
Point blank?, the fucking barrels were almost touching!.....
Mixed battles be like, Russian bias vs Russian bias.
War Thunder is slowly becoming a reality.
Very soon we will have tanks rushing against each other and helicopters in the same battle.
It takes a lot of courage to sneak up on the enemy tanks in reality - unlike video games if you got spotted and got killed, you would be respawned at the base.
@@macobuzi i know.
It's just that close range tank battles were only confined in WT...
Now theyre not.
That sure is "point blank range"! Holymoly! To see it first, is to shoot it first.
What music are you using? I literally woke up from a dream with it in.
russian crew turned off their sound, they couldnt hear the tank, now they gotta pay 4k SL in repair cost.
%500 booster for epic silent enemy
"Rank Does not Matter"
is this the video one years ago? like in 2022 oct? it is really great analysis don't get me wrong but I was surprised a one year old thing suddenly appeared popular online
I'd agree that it is indeed a T-90S or T-90A, as you pointed out in the video the HMG was pointed forward instead of backwards.
The T90A and S are literally the same tank with no difference (although the S means export).
@@stephenhumphrey7935 Thanks for that I didn't know. 👍
@@stephenhumphrey7935 wrong, S variant has different set of electronics and the dazzlers removed. with additional modification to fit the standard of the exported countries.
This video is from last year and not "some days ago".
Also, it is a T-90S, we know that already since last year.
He didn't claim the event took part some days ago, he said that several days ago the video was published.
Bro didn't listen to what the video said lmao
@@uisce_He is mad because super russian tonk got smoked.
@@misterputin8898 compared to even t-90a t-90s is terrible
@@ligmasurvivor5600 I don't think a better T90 variant would do anything better in such a situation. I bet even a T-14 Amata couldn't either.
Palestinians just attacked Israel and destroyed a tank. Theres an image of the burning wreck. Can we get a video on your thoughts about this?
bro can look at two pixels and identify the date of birth of the driver
The range is less than a 100m, so who ever hits the enemy first wins.
From the side and such a short distance is was a clear win for the attacker.
T90 got destroyed by his grandpa?
Lazerpig be like: you lie you noob
This is a footage from 2022 and is finally being talked about in September 2023. That is pretty rare on how it was so slow to be uploaded on youtube to be relevant.
Those guys (russians and ukranians) seem to love close range combats.
They grew up Learning about the glorious battle of Kursk.
They don't "love" it. Combat shifts to close range when both side do their damnest to avoid long-range detection. They know they have a fighting chance close-in.
Even an M1 would not survive that shot.
It probably would've to be honest.
it was at point blank. you could hit the other tank with a rock from that distance.
@@themightykv-5410complete and utter nonsense. Get off the westoid copium, I have no clue how you can take yourself seriously with that level of ignorance
@@themightykv-5410 definitely not to the side like the T90 in the video.
@@themightykv-5410 not really, at least not from the side. maybe if it hits the frontal plates of the turret.
It’s definitely two angles of the same event. On the higher quality side on video you can see smoke exiting the barrel of the Ukrainian tank from behind the foliage.
That stock grind heat-fs against a t-90 yeah gunna need at least two rounds to make sure its destroyed until they get apfsds
and the swine called you a Russian shill in his poorly made rant/noU video, thank you for reporting truthfully Redeffect o7
he is a western shill pretending to be balanced. Arrogant, dumb, pretending to know.
This footage is history being written, this is so rare
Great wideo!
At 0:14 a crewman actually makes it off the tank after 2 pointblank hits. Right in time for the third one. It looks like some ERA goes off in his direction.
