I don't think that's battle damage. At least most of it is not battle damage. They were probably testing soviet weapons to see penetration at different ranges. Just my guess.
My thoughts too. Too many 'penetration' rounds. One penetrating round would have killed the crew putting it out of action. Why keep hitting it?. Plus one that definatley doesn't come from WWII, the 'melted' metal one.
This tiger is just outside of moscow , about 40 clicks, its not battle damage, it was a range target after the war , rumour has it its going to be rebuilt
I have seen this tank many times in many videos. It was captured by the Soviets and used to test various Soviet guns and ammo to see what could defeat the Tiger then was used as a target on a tank range
We got a clear look inside from the camera peering through different holes. I saw an empty shell with rust inside... there wasn't much to see. Even if he went in, there wouldn't be much more to notice. I'm not sure why you're yappin'
Sometimes seeing relics of the past displayed in such a manner can be more emotive or soul piercing than seeing ones in museums that have been restored or in various stages of restoration. Really enjoyed this clip; glad there wasn't any music added. I think I'd 'creep out' if I was to visit this place at night! Title needs to be edited as there was virtually no inside look of the Tiger tank.
Even after all these years , the Tiger looks very impressive , these weapons must have struck fear into the soldiers up against them , Now they rest in peace .
It is.. you can tell by the unit marking on the front. The marking is scratched and damaged from exposure to the elements. Looks to be from unit s.Pz.Abt.510
No, thats how they used to destroy those tanks by 1945. 5 shermans on 1 tiger with high explosive shells would litterally break the welding and eventuall get through. Those were 75 mm holes. thats a sherman gun.
It's been used to test the penetration qualities of AP shells. Just one of those hits through the side or frontal armour in actual combat, would have killed the crew and stopped the tank dead. There would have been zero need for further hits......
It's common for tankers to put an extra few shells into a tank to really make sure it's out the fight. However here, this was very clearly a test target after capture, was it intact or disabled before hand? Idk
Not always the case. This one was obviously a range target, but in war it was not uncommon to hit enemy tanks multiple times until they began to burn. Tanks were recovered and put back into service whenever possible, but a burned out hulk is out of the fight for good.
I can't imagine what it sounded like to be in one of those tanks, and get hit with some huge HE or High Velocity round! I know two men that were in the American Sherman tanks, and they had shrapnel wounds all over their body arms and torso. The one man was my great-uncle Leonard Valdez he was in the Big Red One first division armor. Everybody in this unit was wiped out he and a couple others were saved by the German Medics who fell behind treated them and tagged them, left them for the Americans. The other was Colonel Robertson retired he add shrapnel wounds all over his arms and torso as well. After World War II he fought in Korea and he served in Vietnam, but not combat.
Shermans didn't have much armor so it had to be frightening as hell. A lot of them would catch fire on the first hit and the tank would be engulfed in flames. They called them Ronson Lighters, cause they always lit on the first try. Ronson was a very popular cigarette lighter at the time.
@melvinbennett444 yeah I've listened to the accounts of the guys that used to clean those things up and try to get them back in the field they said it was just grotesque the cleaning up the body parts and the blood, repainting over all that mess. I've seen the videos where they're climbing out of the burning Sherman tanks, you know I'm guessing some of them might not have lived very long, but the last few hours or days were probably pretty miserable. With all the resources we had in America, I'll never understand why we didn't have a little better of a tank or diesel engines or something.

Специально для иностранцев! Этот тигр находился до 1990 годов на полигоне в городе Нахабино! Использовался как мишень. Его так потрепал именно полигон. После мишени лежал в болоте и уже после этого отмыт и привезен в музей города Снегири !
Saumur's german WW2 tanks are all inside the museum, there was a Panther used by french army after WW2 outside but within the museum's perimeter not visible from a motorway, I think it is beeing restored. The only tank visible from a road and displayed outside is the Vimoutier's Tiger that is rotting since 80 years at the entrance of that small city in Normandy. It's been placed in 1974 a few meters away from the location where it was abandonned by it's crew during the retreat in august 44 and then pushed in a ditch to clear the road.
It's amazing this Tiger I still retains its distinctive shape despite the fact that it was used as a test target for AT weapons, and then stuck on a tank range for gunnery practice. Even its camouflage paint scheme and unit markings are holding up well in spite of the abuse.
It's hard to think that a tiger could suffer such severe damages on the, battleground.... Obviously it couldn't withstand a direct hit of an artillery round but its armour was impervious to a antitank rifle or gun. During the Kursk battle, Tigers were lost mainly to antitank mines, more than hits coming from artillery fire... There are records of tigers that showed around 100 strikes on its armour and had problems at the gearbox but was still battle capable..
When I was a Takie the ranges we used in Germany were full of old WW11 Tanks mostly old Sherman's and some you couldn't tell what they were as they were shot up so much, that's what happened to this Tank , but it still looks in good condition, some restorers of Tanks would be very interested for the parts.
Looks like a target tank in a test range. Where to shoot at the vehicle and with what it took to knock it out. Quite a few deflections as designed .The Bear symbol is what unit?
No one apparently gave a damn about preserving this rare historic relic. How many Tiger tanks still exist? They should turn this over to the British Tank Museum for restoration.
It is preserved, clearly. Like all the other displays. Not everything old can simply be restored to working condition, nor should it. Misses the whole point of the entire static display collection in the first place.
@@SportbikerNZ So let it rust away where its at? Once these are gone, there are NO more.... Just like old cars that people let sit in fields that rot away.... Somebody this and at least put it inside..
Watch the videos from the Australian Armor and Artillery museum. Some of you think that 80 year old tank parts are just sitting around. Watch the videos on the restoration for the Stug III and it will give you an idea as to what it takes to restore these AFVs. The costs are enormous and they can sell for millions. Most of the German vehicles went to scrap yards after the war.
@@MichaelCampin I think you mean Tiger 131 from the Bovington Tank Museum. I saw it up close back in 2002 when the museum was very quiet. When standing in front, it looks way bigger than it does on camera - it's a monster.
I served on a M-48 tank in vietnam, 52 ton loaded with 5-6 soldiers. 30 mph tops. The SHERMAN ww2 were a cracker box compared to the German TIGER.10th armored RECON. 4th div. 1969.
A sorry sight! Most of that looks like it was used as a target. The panzer one looks in good shape but most of the place has a sad neglected feel about it. Interesting video . Thanks!
Yeah? I'm building an exact replica of the Mighty Bismarck but differs only from the original in that it has caterpillar treads rather than only a rudder. Thus, it is amphibious and way more versatile and bigger than this Tiger! Stay tuned for photos!
@@K9Schaferhund my kit is a brand called Mirage. 1995 made in Poland. the instructions are very limited. It is a simple design but there are some difficult techniques to building this one properly!
The target practice took 3 days. For 2 days they were checking, re-checking, and then checking again that it cannot shoot back. Then 1 day target practice.
Tiger 2's were never penned frontally, if at all, a 25 pounder took on one at inside 100m and shots just bounced. There are pics of the tiger 2 in museum and the dents were from the 25 pounder.
I don't think the QF 25 pounder was designed for anti-tank work. There were other anti-tank guns and ammo combinations that could penetrate them head-on.
The 25 pounder did have ap and apbc rounds. The guns that fired anti tank rounds used a super charge and those are the guns with the muzzle brake - sexton. The tiger 2 rolled up to 25 yards on the Canadian Sexton. That is the Tiger 2 with the dents on the glacis in one of the museums. I say again, there were no guns that penned the Tiger 2 frontally. A Russian 152mm HE might have smashed the front of a Tiger 2, but they never met. I'll ask Peter S and see what he says. The 152 HE would decimate a Tiger 1 with one shot. The Russian 100mm and 122mm guns would take 3-4 shots to bust the corner welds on tiger 2. Anyone whom starts a sentence with "I don't think .." probably really knows nothing about the subject - Paul Harrell. I suggest you both go do some reading and some math.
INSIDE: While in VN in"68, I came across a Patton tank that had taken a hit on the front of the turret. Shallow hole round 2" then quickly narrowed down to 30mm. Heat marks evident. Probably from rpg. Asked Vietnamese crew atop if I could go inside? Inside hull painted faded white with far too many pock marks to count. I asked and was told there were casualties.
510 heavy panzer bn. markings at 4:43. as i understand it, they spent most of their time fighting the soviets. mostly range damage there, looks like the Soviets used it on one of their target ranges for their troops.
All of these were factory new at one time. Shame the resources aren't out there to restore them to their former glory. As for the Tiger, I have to agree it was probably used as a target at one time.
Wonder how close the weapons used to put hole in that Tiger 1 were ? Had to be pretty close and very large caliber. Or from a distance the Tiger's armor would have bounced them.
I've seen a few Tigers and none of them were knocked out. They broke down, ran out of fuel or threw tracks and the crews abandoned them. Usually when a Tiger was knocked out, it was from air attack - which blew it to pieces.
@RW4X4X3006 A Canadian Sherman got Wittmann's 007 on his left flank from close range. A British Firefly got three closer Tigers (009, 314 and 312). This is now beyond doubt, except for people who are desperate for it to have been the Firefly. Wittmann was too far away from the Firefly.
Lots of folks here in the states would love to get their hands on most everything in that park, lots of people w money to rebuild that stuff even if just to look new
They say that in the Battle of Kursk for every tiger destroyed they found ten finished T34s, if that tank had come out a year earlier who knows when the war would have ended
Just imagine How terrifying This tank would have been just heading towards you and your anti tank guns can’t penetrate the armour as the shells just bounce right off as every single anti tank weapon is knocked out one by one by the powerful 88 cannon would just be terrifying
Anyone who knows Tigers, is aware that they were notorious for their trans. mission failures. This was their greatest shortcoming in battle. They were excessively thirsty and heavy.
You know Tanks were a service man's kitchen stove, it gets so hot you can fry eggs on it, literally cook on it. I seen photos of my Uncle's in WW - 2 doing so.
no it‘s not, these are damages taken from test facilty, with (most likely) post war weapon systems … the only way you could knock out a Tiger in WWII, was either by heavy artillery shells ( ong range), or by air bombing … neather the russian nor the allies had anything that could match one of these, at least till 1945, as far as I know.
Sherman Firefly could take out the Tiger 1 with an special shell. And there were many ways to take out a tiger. But a ton of allied tanks were outgunned by the tiger.
Die Einschlaglöcher rühren nicht von Geschossen her und sind keine Einschläge. Habe mich gleich gewundert über die Blasen artigen Verbrennungen dicht neben den Löchern.

Weapons technology has went from horse drawn chariots to weapons that exit & then reenter our earths atmosphere, all in less than 1800 years. War definitely spurs on technological advances for sure!
Old targeted range test, commentars below have right : please Protect them inside a buidling, and restore this Tiger ! thanks for sharing........Take care : )
Yeah, I agree...too many penetrations, looks to me like it was used for target practice, like shooting at a big old tin can. But interesting. Bet it could (and should) be restored. The Tank Museum in Bovington, England could do the job or at least use it for parts.
I don't think that's battle damage. At least most of it is not battle damage. They were probably testing soviet weapons to see penetration at different ranges. Just my guess.

My thoughts too. Too many 'penetration' rounds. One penetrating round would have killed the crew putting it out of action. Why keep hitting it?. Plus one that definatley doesn't come from WWII, the 'melted' metal one.
💯 I was thinking the exact same thing. You don’t need a million penetrations before you move on to the next.

A Canadian Sherman got Wittmann's 007 on his left flank from close range. A British Firefly got three closer Tigers (009, 314 and 312). This is now beyond doubt, except for people who are desperate for it to have been the Firefly. Wittmann was too far away from the Firefly.
This one survived the war in quite good condition then it was at the fire range target destroy with the post war anti tank ammunition
8:05 Is that a SU-85 or SU-100? I'm thinking 100mm because of the length of the barrel.
Your metal detector works very well.
Which tank was able to penetrate the frontal armor?
just look up ww2 tanks and tank destroyers with 90mm gun
To me they certainly look formidable but even more so when you get a look at the polished bare steel.
Amazing collection ✌🏻🫶🏻
Lots of folks here in the states would love to get their hands on most everything in that park, lots of people w money to rebuild that stuff even if just to look new
Someone ....... Please save this tank ...... please don't let it be lost to history.
Front edge shows possible battle hit.deflections. all others are target practice. One rough tank, didn't deserve such an ending.
They say that in the Battle of Kursk for every tiger destroyed they found ten finished T34s, if that tank had come out a year earlier who knows when the war would have ended
Show 😮
There’s a tiger that’s taken 224 hits at Kursk and still drive itself into the rear echelon to get repaired.
Donde antes sonaban las ametralladoras,bombas, gritos de dolor hoy sólo se escuchan pájaros..
Actually it belonged to
Spzabt 510 Heavy Panzer Division
Now residing at the
Snegiri Museum of Military History, Lenino, Russia
Schwere Panzerabteilung 510 (510th Heavy Panzer Battalion)
Just imagine How terrifying This tank would have been just heading towards you and your anti tank guns can’t penetrate the armour as the shells just bounce right off as every single anti tank weapon is knocked out one by one by the powerful 88 cannon would just be terrifying
Where is this place located if you don't mind sharing! 😉
Moscow
@WWII_METAL_DETECTING Okay, thank you !!! 🙂
Anyone who knows Tigers, is aware that they were notorious for their trans. mission failures. This was their greatest shortcoming in battle. They were excessively thirsty and heavy.
Mr. Hewes needs to rebuild this work of art
Wo kann man sich das anschauen?🤔
Мне кажется что это деревня Снегири, Волоколамское шоссе.
Moscow
@@WWII_METAL_DETECTING Not Kubinka ?
The first Tigers were sent to Leningrad,,,,1942 , none were operating outside Moscow not in 41-42
I really liked the KV1
You know Tanks were a service man's kitchen stove, it gets so hot you can fry eggs on it, literally cook on it. I seen photos of my Uncle's in WW - 2 doing so.
wich country ?
It looks relatively fine on the out side but the insides are probably now inside out
The tiger tank in the Uk was used in the movie FURIE
no it‘s not, these are damages taken from test facilty, with (most likely) post war weapon systems … the only way you could knock out a Tiger in WWII, was either by heavy artillery shells ( ong range), or by air bombing … neather the russian nor the allies had anything that could match one of these, at least till 1945, as far as I know.
Sherman Firefly could take out the Tiger 1 with an special shell. And there were many ways to take out a tiger. But a ton of allied tanks were outgunned by the tiger.
one of the side shots was a HEAT round. probably a RPG/7
Die Einschlaglöcher rühren nicht von Geschossen her und sind keine Einschläge. Habe mich gleich gewundert über die Blasen artigen Verbrennungen dicht neben den Löchern.
I missed where it stated the location. I am guessing Aberdeen, Maryland.
Someone said 40 km outside of Moscow.
The German tank looks the best compared to the rest !
Where is this?,want to visit
Another interesting WW2 weapons graveyard from yestercentury! I often wonder what weapons will be on display after WW3? Weapons technology has went from horse drawn chariots to weapons that exit & then reenter our earths atmosphere, all in less than 1800 years. War definitely spurs on technological advances for sure!
Old targeted range test, commentars below have right : please Protect them inside a buidling, and restore this Tiger ! thanks for sharing........Take care : )

Where is this museum/display located?
Moscow
What’s there must be worth a lot of money to collectors.
Where is this place?
Moscow
I’ll not be going there then
Так что на ход будут ставить ?
I thought sloped armor was the best way to build. I don't understand why the Tiger with so much 90 degree armor was so impervious to shells.
It was 100mm thick in the front and 80 mm on the sides.
Yeah, I agree...too many penetrations, looks to me like it was used for target practice, like shooting at a big old tin can. But interesting. Bet it could (and should) be restored. The Tank Museum in Bovington, England could do the job or at least use it for parts.
