- After the so-called Tito-Stalin split that took place in 1948, the new Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA- Jugoslovenska Narodna Armija) found itself in a critical situation. It was impossible to acquire new modern military equipment. The JNA had been heavily dependent on Soviet military delivery and aid in armament and weapons, especially armored vehicles. On the other side, the Western countries were initially in a dilemma whether to help the new communist Yugoslavia or not. But, by the end of 1950, the side arguing in favor of providing military assistance to Yugoslavia had prevailed.
In the middle of 1951, a Yugoslav military delegation (led by General Koča Popović) visited the USA in order to achieve military cooperation between these two countries. These negotiations were successful and, on the 14th November 1951, an agreement for military aid was concluded (Military Assistance Pact). It was signed by Josip Broz Tito (Leader of Yugoslavia) and George Allen (American ambassador in Belgrade). With this contract, Yugoslavia was included in MDAP (Mutual Defence Aid Program).
Thanks to MDAP, the JNA received, during 1951-1958, plenty of military equipment, and armored vehicles, like the M36 Jackson, were amongst them.

I find it so interesting that Yugoslavia was one of the few countries in the World, that had weapons from NATO aswell from the Warsaw Pact.
Well aside from Yugoslavia.. India, Finland, and Sweden too. Egypt too post-1980, for example it has numbers of M60 Patton and T-55 tanks
@@fabiandimaspratamathesecond True, true.
Yugo supremacy
@@fabiandimaspratamathesecond I would like to point out that 1965 and 1971 wars were instances when nato/western tanks fought each other. In 1965, indian M4A3, M4A4 and M4A4E4 sherman tanks alongside AMX 13, Centurion Mark 7 and old M3 stuarts fought against Pakistani M4A3, M4A4 and M4A4E6 shermans, M47/48 pattons and M36B2 jacksons. In 1971, same tanks against clashed but the number fielded was lesser than in 1965. BY 1971, Vijanyta (Vickers Mark 1 and license production) were also added to indian ranks.
@@fabiandimaspratamathesecond in about 1980, India considered AMX 30 among others for a new tank, but eventually settled on T72 which was then just coming into production.
Rubber armor was somewhat effective against weaker earlier shaped charge anti-tank weapons. The same armor was placed on some T 55 tanks
maybe it neutralised the piezoelectric fuze of the earlier HEAT rounds becouse it cannot make electric contact with the metal of the armour and the fuze destroyed before the rubber cut from the penetration force and detonate the warhead ? its my theory!
I saw these in both JNA service and Federation forces. Lots with conveyor belt armour, which actually is think rubber with a wire mesh in it. It was pretty effective actually, due to the wire mesh.
Rubber armor was apparently the trademark of Serbian/Srpska improvised vehicles, they scavenged factories they couldn't take to deny other factions from using it
@@teslashark I saw a lot of improvised armoured vehicles using the old conveyor belt material. Good stuff. I know for a fact it's reasonably bullet proof, certainly up to 7.62. I'm not sure how useful it would be outside of that.
@@gunner678 Might even work up to 12.7, in a 1 km range?
@@teslashark I doubt it to be honest. 50 calibre is one heck of a round. It would be an interesting experiment mind you.
@@gunner678 My reasoning is that lighter ammo are not that much a threat to the original armor on the M36 and T-55, but you have to protect optics and hatches against heavier calibers from mounted HMGs
Great video. My father participated in the mess that was Yugoslavian civil war and in his words Jackson was prefer in Bosnia due to mountainous terrain. High gun elevation and depression gave it ability to fight in terrain that was unlivable for soviet tanks.
I think few people know what happened to armored vehicles after the war in BiH. A larger number were allegedly cut and melted. But it is not. They were sold to collectors
Interesting. I was there during the war, serving with the UN and then NATO, Croatia, BH and Kosovo, 1995 to 1999. I saw a number of these in service, some covered in conveyor belt material, in kosovo.

@@stopitas5790 It wouldn't surprise me if few peaces are sitting in someones barn. You know just in case.
@@petarmilivojevic7850 poslje rata kad je krenuo oduzimanje oružija kod jednog čovjeka su našli T-34.
Finally! A video on the M36. :^D
I waited SO LONG for it. Thank you, TE.💜
I love the thumbnail. Бјесна стрина means angry aunt.
Some of it gets lost in translation, as "strina" is wife of your's father's brother, and stereotypically she is "evil" one in the family relations, unlike "ujna" which is a wife of your mother's brother or "tetka" which is a sister of your mother or father. Family relations are complicated outside English speaking world. :D

I’d love more Yugoslavian tank videos
I was serving Yugoslav army 2001/2002. In my brigade, anti tank battalion still had M36 and it was used during training on exercises. Infantry was trained to follow the armor, and M36 was acting as a tank. It was still working perfectly
Based on the photos shown here, did some of those M36s have the E9 modification that brings the roadwheel bogies further outwards?
Its not everyday to see the WWII vehies still in service all the way to 2000s and still used in combat
you can actually find a lot of them in african conflicts

It's also interesting how both Iraq and Iran fought with Yugo weapons, as well as Kuwait and other countries around the globe
Jackson proved to be surprisingly resilient in war against Croats and Bosnian Muslims. They were used as support guns, mostly going behind infantry, and were able to endure occasional 12.7 mm bullet and mortar fire. Rubber armor was supposedly reasonably effective against M80 Zolja (Yugoslav version of M72 LAW) . In war in Kosovo they were used as decoys for NATO aviation. I'm not aware of them being employed as weapons against Albanians. They were all retrofitted with diesel engines of Soviet design, so range and fuel consumption were vastly improved. Overall, vehicle was cheap to operate and still had enough firepower against infantry, while armored protection was not great but good enough for support gun role.
I am Croatia veteran and we are usse m36 in the war
Can you do some Modern day Cuban Vehicles there btr60 varitents are pretty cool and kinda cursed
Excellent article on a little known use of the M36.
Double like for perfect pronunciation of Serbo-Croatian words.
Thank you! They are much easier for me (a slav) to pronounce :)
hey tank encyclopedia could you make an article and a video about the panzer iv ausf k?
Introducing the Yugoslavian m36 jacksonpanthsherman
What do you think about the M18-T55, a hybrid tank created by a Bosnian Serb unit in the Bosnian War
That "Frankentank" looks good to be discussed i think
@@IrgiXBlitz yea true
This tank was captured then by the 108 Brigada Brčko of the Bosnian Government Army
My dad was a comander of the Jurišni Bataljion „Tigar“ of the 502 Slavna Brdska Brigada his Bataljion captured a T-55 Tank some Trucks and cars ammunition weapons and a M-53/59 Praga he was awarded the Zlatni Ljiljan (Gold Lily) the highest award in the Bosnian Government army its like the Medal of Honor in America but bosnian
It will be interesting to see something about Krajina Express ... an armored train of the Serbian Army of Krajina. The train was built at the very beginning of the war in Croatia in 1991 and was used until the disintegration of the Republic of Serbian Krajina in the summer of 1995. Extremely strong vehicle during the war .. the train could not move further, so the crew destroyed it in 1995 (Serbs)
0:54 1949, not 1959.
A video on the so-122 (m4 with a soviet 122mm gun and a t-54 engine
We have one in Lešany museum of VHU
Adreij Dzekson for Predizent!
Why didn't the JNA try to put a 100mm D-10T gun on it?
i think that the year in 1949 at 0:53 and m36 at 1:24
Galahad kicks a**
Great video.
Yolo-slavia 🤔
so true
*Titoslavia
Dark but totally true
Made in Yugoslavia. IMT.
The country was unable to dissolve in a peaceful manner due to the high amount of weapons available.
Nah, we would fight even if did not had weapons.
There are allways rocks and sticks.
@@aleksaradojicic8114 Yeah we are idiots. What can you do.
@@GeneralGayJay not at all, reason why it fell apart is because ww2 did not end in yugoslavia. It was simply paused and 90s were round 2.
From 8:06, there was no civil war in yugslavia, only idea of en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Serbia
So warning to all those who is coming to Croatia, to say civil war ie an insult to Croats,
After all who else name those wars 1991-95 (attacked and attackers are same), well a Serbs, like autor of this video
BS 😁 Croatia forcibly separated itself from Yugoslavia, and with help of the West expelled local Serb population. Their own goal since WW2 - ethnically clean "independent" state . "Independent" because they now have new masters in Brussels.
