- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ค. 2024
- The Soviets drew various conclusions from their involvement in the Spanish Civil War based on "their" (indirect) inexperience with the T-26 sent to Spain. A lot of the design ideas were drawn.

"Chainsaw tanks"
Alas, some things were never meant to be...**cries in Imperium**
Bayonet on tank? - Japanese put bayonets on everything else.
Damn blueberry commies. They don't even fight in melee.
well clearly its because they believed in the zar and not the emperor. #theemperorprotects
Chainsaw armed BT tank is the most awesome thing I heard on TH-cam.
Yeah, it will be in the next update for wot. then 2 updates later a gold version for those tanks the regular version wont saw through.
Tanks with chainsaws? Praise be the Omnissiah!
I could see a military use for something like this in running phone lines underground - look up a Ditch Witch.
Great with some morning coffee, I always love to hear you guys nerding out on tanks. I nerd our vicariously through you guys :)
You are producing awesome videos on both channels as of late
Wonders! --the first notion of a "chainsaw bayonet", now available for AR-15s in the United States. ;-)
yeah because only america cares more about weapons then clean drinking water across its country. welcome to the united states.
@@user-uq1bq5wq4w Uh.... wut?
@@CedarHunt you don't know? america doesn't have clean drinking water in some states.
@@user-uq1bq5wq4w Hahaha, sure....
@@CedarHunt look it up! my ex is in florida and she and many others complain about how america in general doesnt care about there water. honestly, look it up. you can learn something. (this isnt meant as a dig at you, just at america as a country)

Today 115 years ago was born Alexander Alexandrovich Morozov
. As the technical lead of the project together with M. I. Koshkin and N. A. Kucherenko headed development of the medium T-34 tank in 1940. During the Great Patriotic War, he was the chief designer of upgrades of the T-34 tank, which was recognized as the best tank of the period of the Second World War.
You hear that?
Yeah.Just another pesky samurai on the tank...no worries
The soviets did not copy the MP-44 or STG-44. The AK operates entirely differently, and only looks like a copy to a layman from the outside.
Yes, too many myths in this interview unfortunately.
Well, if you suddenly put a diagram of a STG-44 and an AK-47 in front of all WWII hobbiests, I bet 99% of them would be guessing which one was which.
The STG-44 certainly inspired the AK-47 - the Russians were in no doubt that a large magazine select fire rifle with an intermediate cartridge was needed.
@@allangibson8494 they already had the SKS and had adopted the PPS-43 as a dominant infantry weapon.
@@johnnyz1781 And the Germans started field trials in 1942 with the MKb-42. The StG changed names every six months (MKb-42(H) => MP-43 => MP-44 => StG-44 => StG-45 - all are variants of the same gun). The STG-44 was merely the definitive volume production variant and is still in use today (a vast pile were shipped to Syria by France in the late 1940's).
The StG brought the concept of a large capacity magazine & select fire to a weapon with a MUCH longer range than a submachine gun and more portability than the squad machine guns all in a cheap pressed steel package.
The addition of InfraRed night sights added to it reputation.
How peter pronounce "Großtraktor"😅
Good stuff, thanks
How fascinating!
No shame in copying and improving what works. Why reinvent the wheel?
*SCREAMING ABOUT CULTURAL APPROPRIATION INTENSIFIES*
Great Chinese Proverb.

T-14 Armata has a diamond blade chainsaw for clearing obstacles. In conjunction with it's vertical take-off and landing, super cruise, stealth and invisibility cloak it is more than a match for any western "tank," just ask any Russian.
After the first battle of Grozny a lot of these requirements were reintroduced. Note that the Bumerang has a high angle gun for just this situation.
oh man you hade me in the first time, ngl
Also T-14 has such a great stealth capability so nobody saw it usage at war
Many Soviet armored specialists served in the 1st Separate International Tank Regiment. (Page 153, "Mussolini's War in Spain").
13:51 you should make that into a t-shirt.
This particular video really should be visualized ... Jiat sayin
how could armour piercing be used against mg nests?. my understanding of ap is that, the ap shell penetrates armour of course the calibre of the shell will penetrate roughly about similar amount of armour so how could a mg nest be knocked out would the shells be tampered to a degree that they'd explode (replicate the process of penetrating the armour) and triggering the little fuse?
Mg nests were protected by sand sacks mainly, if I'm not mistaken, and no (reasonable) amount of bullets penetrate that, ap or not
He said HE shells, that is, explosives.
this was reality not a game. If someone shoots in your direction with a rifle, you will very likely flinch, cower or run. Now if someone shoots a cannon at you, it gets worse and just a "hit" next you with an AP shell is scary as hell.
@@podemosurss8316 if AP shells cannot penetrate sand, neither can HE or APHE?
(im thinking small calibre, hand-held weapons here.
My guess is any tank shell can penetrate any mg nest protection)
im WELL aware this was real life not a game im just buffled with my limited knowledge of armour piercing and really so when if no was injured or killed just the near miss was enoigh to make them think twice huh neat
The old Soviet favorite song, "Tri Tankista" (from the hit film "Traktorista") gives a nod to the "Samurai" of the Kalkin River region. th-cam.com/video/0QOO3UWU98U/w-d-xo.html You can hear the word yourself, whether or not tih govoreesh po Rooski.
That movie is worth a watch, btw. It's extremely well made, well written, and well acted. And 1st rate pro-soviet propaganda. By the standards of propaganda, it is a perfect example of genre and probably the best ever made.
Can see the samurai fighting the rear mounted chainsaw.Humours not the Russians strong suit.Gold comedy gold.
In the Spanish Civil War, Soviet tanks were the biggest dogs on the block. However, they tended to be deployed as platoon or company-size units, so while they achieved impressive local results, they were never really used to their full potential. Many were destroyed or captured by infantry in the towns, where their large size made it difficult to maneuver on ancient, narrow streets. Italian tankettes, on the other hand, could navigate in those confined spaces. Interestingly, after the Spanish Civil War, some Soviet military specialists thought that the Italians were more forward-thinking in their armored doctrine.
See "Mussolini's War in Spain", p. 234.
Since you are likely the author of the book, what is the exact source on this?
@@MilitaryHistoryNotVisualized The source is Nikolay Platoshkin's "Grazhdanskaya Voyna v Ispanii" (Civil War in Spain). Olma Press, 2005, page 407. www.livelib.ru/book/1000488342-grazhdanskaya-vojna-v-ispanii-19361939-nikolaj-platoshkin
For day-to-day combat operations, as seen from the Russian and Spanish Popular Front viewpoint, "Voyna v Ispanii. Khronika Boevikh Deystviy 1936-1939" (War in Spain. A Chronicle of Combat Actions 1936-1939) is quite excellent. www.ozon.ru/context/detail/id/28800926/
@@patrickcloutier6801 I have a different edition of "Grazhdanskaya Voyna v Ispanii" so the page numbers don't match up, but can you tell me which chapter these comments are in? I can find no mention of superior mobility of Italian tankettes or praise of Italian tank doctrine. In fact the book states exactly the opposite: Italian tank doctrine worked well only against troops that had already been beaten, fighting against functional defenses resulted in poor performance.
@@TankArchives They are in "Глава 14. Воскрешение из Мертвих. Апрель-ноябрь 1938 г." - are you sure you have the same author? There are a number of books in Russian, by the title of "Гражданская война в Испании".
Wasn't it a bad WoT patch that caused the fighting girlfriend t-34 to be developed because of the Indofinnish war?
If stalin insults your mother.... You don't object...
Especially if it's just another "evil Stalin" myth.
@@AlexanderSeven that was actually my mistake, Stalin did not mention the source's mother, but the sentiment was similar: tankarchives.blogspot.com/2015/08/harsh-language.html
@@TankArchives Well, I think there are a few people I would let insult my mother, Stalin would be there... Alongside Genghis Khan, Reinhard Heydrich, Che Guevara, and some other people I'd... Well I would let them insult my mother.
@@TheIfifi Or you plot quietly for years until the time for fruition of your cold wrath presents itself and they and everything they love is left in smoking ruins Mwah Ha Ha Hahaaa!
@ "GULAG" was nothing more than administration building in Moscow, you physically cannot send millions there. You need to check your sources.
So what if The Soviet Union never joined the Spanish civil War? Would it have been easier for Germany to steamroll over them?
Germany would've never learned from the war experience, either.
jurisprudens hmm...fair enough.
Peters voice is like a chainsaw.
So, Stalin made "your mom" jokes?
Erster!
Probably🤷
