Damn this one doin numbers...
Hullo there Lazerpig fans
This war has been showing the world just how right you are about how much these tanks suck.
LazerPig Team Up!
_TEAM UUUUUUP!!!_
BTW, what is tank from option A?
Yep, blame Lazerpig.
im a fan of you too
This video has aged a lot better than many videos talking about how great the tank is
Yes, yes it has.
Redeffect is emotionally damage
considering its losing to non-NATO country this video was pretty generous as it used NATO as the enemy.
@@MuscleboundKage that non-NATO country is using NATO anti-tank weaponry, some of it (reportedly) were kept in storage since the 80's
And the tanks themselves didn't age well :D
I arrived on the lazerpig train and I gotta say, this was a good stop.
While current events are currently doing a very poor job of selling the T-90 features to potential customers they are doing and excellent job of marketing MLAWs and Javalins.
Oh, yeah. Definitely purchasing more of those Saab Group stocks. The NLAW has already proven itself over and over. And guess what? We are at the final stage of developing guided ammo for our Carl-Gustafs as well. But for the moment, I'm just happy to see so many Russian turrets being sent flying.
No T90 in ukraine 🤣🤣🤣🤣
NLAW
@@lagg1e I only watch lazerpig and related videos while drunk, this is about as good as you are going to get.
@@TheNybergCorporation Guided munitions from a Carl Gustaf? I gotta admit, I didn’t see that one coming.
Jokes aside, an advanced, non frontline combat vehicle hull that can be easily modified into anything from a howitzer carrier to a mobile hospital to a bridge layer should absoulty be named the John Smith.
M113 "John Smith"

The T14 is the best stealth tank in the world... think about it... no one has ever seen it on the battlefield!!

"Doesn't have air conditioning" Probably because the convertible modification for them is so popular.
Even worse with the ukrainian ones
You don't need air conditioning in droptop tank ;)
Their "rapid unscheduled disassembly" capabilities are second to none
It's not even worth blowing up. They have so many tanks and so few support vehicles. You're making their logistics better by blowing them up. I'd go after the fuel trucks. They are very short on those.
turret ejection system
@@Jordan-Ramses That´s what they are doing now... The number of destroyed support vehicles is quite important. A tank without ammo or fuel is just scrap in the middle of nowhere.
@@FPV-Drones especially so since they have more tanks than they could ever use and so little of everything else.
Hilarious!
How many hours the Challenger episode is going to be?
LOL...good one. Even if they realized that and put some modernization program on at least...but too late it seems.
Already done
ratchet2505 challenger 3 go brrrr
It'll probably be it's own series. Full length television features coming out in weekly installments for the next decade.
It’s still way better than a T90. And let’s not talk about Leopard survivability.
And now an M version got ganked by 2 Bradleys with their 25mms
@Fusioncoreguy yea and the tank was damaged BY THE BRADLEYS
@Fusioncoreguy didnt the drone strikes come after the bradleys already disabled the tank tho
We remember that Challenger 2 getting destroyed by a Lancet drone
@@denzonerare you kidding? any tank can be damaged by auto cannons, the t90m armor wasn't penetrated but the Bradley's gunner aimed for the optics and such thus blinding the tank
@@thesovietduck2121 when did I say other tanks couldnt
I was with the US Third Infantry Division in OIF1. To take out Sadaam's tanks, our M1 Abrams would fire sabot rounds and penetrate the berms concealing the enemy tanks. They would aim for the point where the turret rested on the chassis. This would ignite all of the rounds inside the turret. The explosion that resulted blew the turret 50 meters into the air, and landing about 100 meters away from the chassis. Of all the destroyed Iraqi tanks I saw, only three still had intact turrets.
One of the main drawbacks of the carousel-style autoloaders that Russian tanks employ, rather than the cassette-style on something like the Leclerc or K2 - until the T-90M, they haven't really been able to provide them with any sort of reliable protection, even against spalling and fragments.
I would suggest and I've been told this by many gunners and TC's, you'd aim for the place where the turret meets the hull because it's the centre of mass of the vehicle. You could hit a T-72 just about anywhere on the hull and blow off that turret, that autoloader is like a powder keg waiting to go off! No need for a precise hit.
The results were horrific. On day one of OIF, I saw my first decapitated tank turret. The turret was blown off, leaving the upper portion of the tanker's body in the turret and the lower half in the chassis.
@@hermanschiller2035 I'm surprised there was still a body to find
@Underpaid T-72 mechanic that name and PFP combination is beautiful
@@ArmorCast make a new video about russian tanks please. We need you roasting them so redeffect will be emotionally damage!
The T-72's turret is a formidable twelve-tonne ballistic anti-aircraft system which automatically activates whenever the tank senses it is being attacked.
Buahahahaa
@spoogegoat, T-72, T-80, and T-90 are being blown up to pieces in Russia-Ukraine war as of Saturday, September 17, 2022. Thanks to U.S Javelin missiles, and British NLAW. Boohoo!
T 72 is junk.
In fact, t-72 are good tanks. Just don't shoot at them.
It’s got reactive turret armor that explodes when it’s hit.
For the next YFTS video, while this was a year ago and you've likely already selected and storyboarded one out, I'd love to see the Abrams. As an American I've grown up with it as the baseline against which all other tanks (and their doctrines) are judged, so I'd be mighty curious to see what sorts of glaringly obvious flaws it has from a Scotsman's point of view.
The superior plate and the space between the hull and turret is unarmored, it gets hit, turret stuck.
From the front, anything can go trough a quarter of its profile because of this.Worse is right under the gun, it will break it if it gets hit there.
The jet engine is pointless, the german one performs better in every way without the maintenence hassle.
And like any modern tank, it may as well not be armored in the sides and rear.
@@denisionescu5072 The jet engine is fine in the US military (though the reasons they chose it ended up being irrelevant) but outside the unique logistics the US has the diesel makes way more sense.
If they were making it new today it would have a diesel in it for sure. Hasn't really held it back much especially once they were upgraded with APUs.
@@danlorett2184
What's an APU? Isn't the Abram's gas turbine engine supposed to be able to run on a bunch of different types of fuels, or am I confusing it with a different tank/engine(a British one maybe)?
@@HighlanderNorth1 Auxiliary Power Unit. It's a smaller generator that gets mounted onto the Abrams so it doesn't have to run the engine all the time.
And yes, the Abrams turbine can run on other types of fuel. It runs worse on those, though. And the US has never run into logistical issues widespread enough to actually use this feature - it was originally intended to make defending Western Europe easier if the Soviets invaded because the rest of NATO uses diesel tanks. That way American tanks could still be run even if they only had diesel.
@@danlorett2184 So basically Russia is Loki and the Aesir (western militaries) ultimately have all their cool shit as a 4result of constantly having to deal with russia's bullshit?
Russia saw this video and thought you had some great points. They then decided to prove how accurate 1991 was to their actual conventional capability by invading Ukraine.
Going swell for them!!!
nazi russian invasion on Ukraine
@@wnose seeing as how they'll be in Kyiv soon,...
@@Blitzkrieger89 LOL, the Russians took 10 years to capture Avdiivka. Recently, Ukraine nearly ran out of ammo and arms recently but the front lines barely changed.
At this rate of advance, the Russians will reach Kyiv in 2090!
Man... Usually it take a fine wine 10 years to age on YT. This one aged perfectly in only 5 months! Its almost as if Ukraine took this video, sat their infantry down and had them watch and study every point. And then executed their YT training perfectly!
youtube training? if ceasar could see us now.
Well it doesn’t help that russia tactics are a joke
@@SuperZombiepimp lol if that aint true. At best they're questionable decision making. I'm still trying to figure out who the guys were that attacked Georgia in '08 and Ukraine in '14?
I get circumstances were a bit different but still... I bet Putin would like that setup back. Just goes to show what 8 years of preparation and international assistance looks like.
Joke's on Putin indeed.
@@ICU1337 Ukraine is losing pitifully
@@pavelshnaps2345 sure thing Vlad. Hows that retreat... erm I mean "Special Operation Back to Russia" coming along?
The most boring part is when we read comments from a six year old boy pretending to be an arm expert.
Or the guy who needs to point that out repeatedly.....
And this is before the Russian crew sabotage the tank so that they don't have to actually engage in combat. Personally, I don't blame them since the one guaranteed feature in all Russian tanks is that their turrets pop off with incredible ease (thanks to poor ammo storage and their autoloader).
Russia is broke and their starving at home and their family needs them at home.to see to their needs and their just places the Russian soldier need to be.necause their family is more important than blowing up Ukrainian families.
This does seem like a giant diversion from the corrupt mess that Russia has become.
I remember watching this video back in December and thinking that you made valid points. But I just couldn't believe the T90 was so worthless. Fast forward to day 9 of the invasion of Ukraine and I'm trying to figure why Russia would invade anybody with that thing. It really does suck.
LOL Russia is terrible at war
I guess the logic was that Ukraine is using the same ex-Soviet crap. They must not have realized that you no longer need a tank to kill another tank.
@@Echelon030 tanks are becoming more obsolete
@@liammiddleton3064 not neccesarily
but tank on tank is
Russia sucks in general...
T90 can't reverse because Stalin said "Not one step back." This shows in all aspects of soviet combat doctrine.
You can take a step back but we dont want friendly fire turned on now do we. xD
So the exact opposite of french battle doctrine?
We say here: "If you are out of ammunitions, just remember to yourself: you are a proud son of Soviet Russia, a communist, comrade! - After this you can shoot again".
@гиперлуп lol
You're kidding, Correct?
This aged beautifully
4:34 you're going to make Matsimus cry aren't you
hi odst spartam we meet again
T-72, T-80 and T-90 are all more or less variants of the T-64. But what i wonder is, how can you dare to claim the T-90 first got blow off panels with the T-90M? All the T-72s T-80s and T-90 had blow off panels from the very first day. It just had a different name in the sovjetunion. In the west, we call it blow off panels, in russia they call it "turret".
😀😃👍
In America turret shoots round. In Russia round shoots turret
It doesn't really seem like they have blow out panels. But i gess if you are being hit with a Javelin it just doesn't matter your turret is going to pop off. Lol
@@pieppy6058 Heehee, it's funny because Russian tank turrets go brr.
When they pop off they look like a giant lollypop. I guess that's what you can call *"lollypopping"?*

@@rog69 Whatever the actual facts on the ground are, the Russian army is no acquitting itself well against greatly inferior opposition. Even if they do manage to occupy the whole country, which is now far from certain, they will only face a gigantic partisan war they can never win. They should have studied their own history from WWII before starting this.
@@odysseusrex5908 yeah but the media and all these clowns in comments can’t seem to choose the narrative. Either they are winning, farmers wiping the floors with russian tanks, tractor go brrrt, Russians abandoning shit left n right and their young conscripts surrendering, russia asking China for help and basically about to cave in. Or they are losing, Russians are hammering their cities, killing civilians, encircling them, big evil Russian army hunts down their women and babies, Europe and nato must help, no-fly zone asap, but we shall prevail because partisan warfare is the way of the little ppl. What a joke.
@@rog69 Try to keep telling yourself that for now if it makes you feel better, but Putin isn't going to be able to keep pretending all those losses don't exist when thousands of young men who died in all that destroyed Russian equipment don't come home to their mothers.
You should continue the series with the good ol’ Challenger, and maybe classics like the M60

It sure did!
Yea
When you wake up and you're still assigned to a T-90: Ah shit, here we go again

Still better then waking up in ukraine army uniform.
One of the best tanks to be in.
T-90A, shown getting hit in southern Aleppo at 5:01, was not damaged & its crew got out without injuries.
It was placed back into service after a simple replacement of its ERA brick, which detonated & defeated the incoming projectile, before it could damage it.
You can see the remnants of expl. reactive armor & warhead burning up on top of the hull.
@@tropickman what about the one that got its turret flung off? Is the crew okay too?
@@mikailvito7200 yes because we'll just rig it up with bombs and send it out lol
As for the Abrams video-
“Ah the M829, even 40 years later you lads still think that the beasts from the steppes can only be slain by your ‘Silver Bullets’.”
*Shows footage of other AT equipment*
Another amusing failure of its active protection system that’s been discovered: it’s apparently only operating when the tank is running. Which is fine.. unless your tank column is shut down to preserve fuel as you sit stationary on a road.
And even when it’s functioning, the trick is to fire your missile over the tank then drop the crosshairs on the target at the last moment before the protection system can react.
Their tanks would be running.. back to Russia if they had fuel.
singlehandedly the dumbest comment ever lol. this isn't war thunder
Western APS isn't bulletproof either. No APS is.
" the trick is to fire your missile over the tank " The Javelin missile is designed to do exactly that.
@@Jordan-Ramses Russia has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. To think they'd run out of fuel is ridiculous. Europe is soon running out of oil and gas though.
Russian crews hates this tank so much that they gift it to Ukrainian farmers the moment a General is no longer looking.
After selling its fuel to the farmer. Throw in the tank with the deal. Here, farmer, is 50 tons of scrap steel! Enjoy!
Came here after seeing the Russians abandon these tanks in Ukraine. Now I know why. You weren't kidding, these tanks are trash.
The videos show them without surrounding troops. Tanks without troops can survive only on open plains. There they must have air superiority to survive.
@@algrayson8965 Just because many T80 & T90 has been destroyed in Ukraine, doesn't mean that any other US or EU tanks are better ... just that the drones and Javalin anti tank missiles are way too powerful and made the Tanks as a machine obsolete in my opinion...

@@Obsidian_Official_ Hey mate, even thought I wrote that comment 2 years ago, so the Abrams were not in Ukraine, but even after 2 years u know that the Abrams got destroyed by drones for 1% of the price of the Javalin right ?
@@omaral-maitah181 Yeah since all tanks are vulnerable in air attacks.
As an american, please rag on the Abrams as much as you want. It's already proven itself as a superior tank but there's always room for improvement. Criticism is the only way we improve.
This, one reason Ukraine is doing so well is NATO countries have been so worried for years that our tactics for coping with a potential Russian invasion weren't good enough, so we've been cooperating and organising military exercises for decades, now Ukraine has had experts from various European countries and the US on how to potentially deal with Russian tank attacks, and got anti-tank equipment and it's really paid off.

Things you should never say to:
A woman: she is fat
A man: he is poor
A russian: that the t-90 is a t-72 with a Gucci belt
The T-90 doesnt have blowout panels. No Russian T series haven them. They were never put into mass production on their fielded tanks, because it was determined to be too expensive to retrofit.
The T90M has a storage rack behind the turret with blowout panels for extra ammunition on the outside of the tank, that is not the same thing as blow out panels in the tank itself to protect the crew.
The crew is still sitting on a powder keg.
ngl the t-90 looks like the meanest tank out there, when you dont know anything about tanks and go by looks.
Yeah I really like it's looks
@SparksProx I like that, looks like medieval fish scale armour.
This video aged very well. 😄 It's lacking a bit in Ukrainian towing tractors though. But you can't predict everything.
I wonder if the Russians hear the ominous theme from JAWS whenever Ukrainian tractors appear?
Have the Russians simply forgotten basic use of armor? It’s always just a tank, no infantry, even with the T90M
@@insertpng6289 The Russians don't even practice basic tactics in the field.
They drive down the middle of the road all tightly bunched up and don't even stagger their tanks on the right side and then the left side of a highway.
Their tank barrels are all pointing forwards with no tanks assigned to "overwatch" nor the moving tanks assigned "sectors of fire" in the event of an ambush.
When ambushed, nobody charges or engages the threat to allow others to escape the "kill box." They simply flee or stop.
I have never seen a bigger group of amateurs in my life! Even US trainees "road march" their tanks better than Russia!
@@swaghauler8334 now that I think about it.. they ARE using javelins, but still, absolutely no infantry support?

@@insertpng6289 Ok... so you find yourself operating without support...
But, you STILL bunch your armor up on highways so artillery or drone strikes can damage multiple vehicles at once.
You don't assign sectors of fire so a commander can fire or respond instantly to any threat in a given direction.
You don't have other tanks parked and watching you move to the location in order to perform an instant fire support mission and then move up to your old position once you have moved onto the objective (known as bounding overwatch).
You still haven't ordered your tank commanders to stand up out of their hatches with binos (and with MGs pointed into their overwatch sector) expanding your range and field of detection as you move.
They are just driving down the road in a "giant gaggle-fuck," as my First Sergeant would have said. If that were my unit on the move in Ukraine, we would have been "pushin' til we puked!" AND I was just ARTILLERY (155mm SP)!

Tank armour is useless anyway. Idk why we’re even talking about that. Tank ammunition rarely hits frontal plates since there is barely any face to face tank battles in real life (warthunder isn’t realistic, newsflash). The first one to shoot is the one who wins 99%. The only thing to “armour” yourself against is infantry fired atgms. Which doesn’t need huge armour plates. Slats, ERA, TUSK, etc. What’s more important than armour? Money, firepower, mobility. Strategy in real life is more important than armour in a space where face to face tank combat barely exist
Well, the "unstoppable" and "invincible" Russian army and their "state of the art" equipment haven't really been doing very well over the past 4 weeks! I'm sure that NATO has been watching and (better still) LEARNING.
It's horrible that the Ukrainian people are suffering so, but at the very least the West and NATO are WIDE-FUCKING-AWAKE now! You've got GERMANY of all places stepping up and shipping arms--that's incredible! Hey Putin--idi nahui!
and trying not to laugh out loud
@Alan Lewis the truth will make you cry, ukrops have lost everything, the NATO instructors are detailed and giving data. The so called NATO tactics are only about using human shield civilians.
Not LEARNING,but laughing
Learning full blown alcoholics don't do war well against real opposition 😁

Amazing how precognitive this video is. I used to think R*ssia was a top 3 miitary power, now I realise they peak at early 1980's era US equivalent tech at best... Seriously, their airforce is beyond comical- they ran out of missiles and smart bombs in 12 hours flat...
At least I'm from New Zealand, famous for our tanks.

The best part is when Russia adds their dumbass "Z" to their T-90 tanks in Ukraine, it makes it much easier targets to warm up by switchblades.
@RustyGates
I’m no real armchair general(much) but doesn’t it help them not target their own?
@@ramblinnernd5905 yes. Just like the Ukraine flags on Ukraine vehicles that also make it easier for the Russians to target them.

Because they're designed to terrorize peasants not confront modern battlefield realities

Well well well, how the turn tables.
Yeah, all those destroyed Abrams Ukraine aren’t fielding yet… …
Kinda like “we destroyed six Patriot systems! Only two are even in the country, only one of which is in operational use and showing no signs of significant damage, BUT WE DESTROYED SIX OF THEM!!”
I've known this for a long time being a former Abrams operator. From the perspective of a trained operator, there are many features of our vehicles regardless of type that we either don't use because of tactical considerations, like the so-called Active Protection System, which was sold to the public as an invincible force field. There's a reason Russia doesn't field huge quantities of either this or the failed Armata, either too expensive to produce in respectable numbers or simply not as effective as advertised. A paper tiger, for sure.

One mistake and you and your crew die. Then behind you comes a scream and your ammo loader is flailing around with no right arm anymore for no apparent reason.
Auto loaders slow the rate of fire,the one in the T64 also liked to try to load the loaders lower bits into the breech
Tank: Tries to launch loaders arm at enemy
Commander: That's not what we meant by 'Launching the armoured fist of the Soviet Union, debil!'
You forgot to say that before the modernization of the T-90MS, the driver controlled the tank not with the steering wheel, but with the levers, as on the T-34)
But we love this strong tonk because, you know, we don't have money to produce T-14))))

you're not wrong on the single malt
Years ago, I got to ride in a reconditioned surplus Russian T-62 (everything functioned except the main gun) and later a fully functional M-60, the first was on a movie set I was working on and the other was while I playing OPFOR (Opposing Forces) for a military exercise. Wow, what a difference. If the Russian could have designed a better mobile torture chamber, then they must have done it with the T-72/80/90 series. Hot, stuffy, rode like a Conestoga Wagon from the 19th Century, and the noise inside the tank was Wow. The other vehicle, the M60 wasn't a luxury vehicle, but at least I didn't feel like throwing up after a 20 minute ride like the T-62. I don't know how Russian or anyone in one of their tanks can handle it. I guess you can get used to anything that bad and still survive. I was wondering how the Israeli's did so well against the Syrians and Egyptians tanks during their conflicts. After that I knew, the Syrians and Egyptians had no clue what was going around them due to the crappy optics, loud engine and transmission, and the wonky intercom system. While they were sitting in their loud, blind, metal shells the Israeli's were using them for target practice.
This explains a few things.
Woow russians are really impotent to do anything right...Everything is fake and lie in that hell on earth
I disagree. Ukrainian farmers are loving these things.
The turret flys like a eagle.
abrams and leopards suck like a slut

@@mnd7381 there was no reason for italians to go their own way. joint production for leopard would've been fine.
