Its weird since Škoda already had plans for T-15, simplified version of Pz.35(t) with suspension similar to one of Pz.38(t) yet ČKD the producer of Pz.38 made their competing design V-8-H with same complicated suspension as Škoda...
As I understand it re the 40mm gun, They were producing the Bofors AA gun and had got a license for the PaK 36, and decided to mate the two to only have one barrel to worry about making. Quite a punch in its day, but quickly left behind.
@@jirja3192 incorrect. It was a short barrel low velocity gun. The 4cm was an L60 barrel straight off of a bofors AA gun with 820m/s muzzle velocity, and up to 75mm of penetration at 100m. It was undoubtedly insufficient later in the war, but was not completely incapable of damaging the soviet frontline tanks that were its primary opponent.
Yeah, during WW2, Polish 20mm tankettes damaged Panzer 1 and Panzer 2 divisions, could even fight with Panzer 3 from the flank if they managed an ambush
The opening foto of two soldiers shaking hands at the beginning of the video is from a pretty specific time. From March 1939 to September 1939. The border marker is actually Czechoslovak one and Hungary gained a border with Poland when it annexed Carpatho-Ukraine and lost it with Soviet occupation of Poland. And i kinda doubt that they would leave the border markers of Czechoslovakia in there for long, so it's likely from the beginning of that period.
@Ruffus Vampir What the heck are you even reacting to? I'm just putting a date on the picture and not commenting on the current relations. Also I was not talking about current Ukraine, but about Carpatho-Ukraine, which is a region that has often changed hands and was not part of the today's Ukraine till Soviet annexation. Before the first world war it was a part of the Hungarian part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and greater Hungary before that as Carpathian Ruthenia. And I was talking about it only because it's the only place where Hungary and Poland had a common border on which a Czechoslovak border marker could stand.

As no suitable engine was available, two Turan engines were built into it (2x265 horsepower) that could operate separately. He was able to run a single motorway on the country. That way he could save fuel. Like some of today’s cars that turn off a handful of cylinders when they aren’t needed. If one engine injured during a fight, the other was able to move off-road at reduced speed.

As the next step after the THNP the T21 was a good effort. The period when medium tanks were designed with small caliber cannon was fast passing. It made sense. After all, who would've suspected that the 3.7cm armed PzKw III would be pushed to the margins, while its erstwhile support vehicle, the 7.5cm armed PzKw IV, would end up the main tool of the Panzerwaffe? Not Guderian, apparently.
Oh yes, the project of Czechoslovak medium tank that could compete with early Panzers, yet ended up being sold to Hungary that would otherwise faced them in combat and entered service five years too late... I would like to know more about why they changed its gun from 47mm to 40mm. One thing was logistics but on wiki its said that Hungarian military experts stated it had no extra penetration over their 40mm which i find weird based on penetration tables.
Probably availability issues, how available a gun would affect which gun is mounted even if the other guns are better, as an example, IS-2 would have used D-10 100mm gun which has better performance than D-25 122mm gun, however because the 122mm gun and ammunition was more readily available, it was chosen instead, although later the D-10 is used mainly by SU-100 in the later years of the war, and the T-54 and T-55, and the Chinese Type-59 after the war, and some outliers like the T-34-100, T-44-100
The oversize rocket round was in concept identical to the Stielgranate 41 used with the 3.7cm PaK35/36 in German service. Although quite powerful in the role of punching holes in armor, these Monroe Effect projectiles had laughably short range. Moreover, imagine trying to fit one over the barrel of your main gun while in combat. My guess? For ambush only. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stielgranate_41

There are photographs of the Romanians using at least one captured Zrinyi and one Turan. The Red Army captured so many recoverable or intact Hungarian tanks that 5th Guards Tank Brigade had formed an independent battalion on them by September 1944. There were 32 vehicles, of which at least 8 were Turans, 3 were Zrinyis, 2 were Toldis and 2 were Nimrods. The main prospective opponent that Hungary had an eye on was Romania. In so far as it put the Hungarians ahead of the Romanians in tank production, the Turan was a success.
It is worth noting that the hungarians lacked any form of heavy engineering or recovery vehicle, which quiet likely played a part in the great number of abandoned vehicles.
@@joshuamartinez6683 there was like 1 Romanian tank destroyer design, and a few modifications of foreign vehicles, Hungary had far more tanks and more impressive ones too like the 44M Tas, I would study Hungarian tanks if I were you

The information about the machinegun is completely incorrerct, and so is the picture. The picture is of a gebauer m1918 rotary observers machinegun developed for the austrohungarian airforce, and neither that, nor the 38/40m had anything to do with any other design. They were original designs by franz gebauer, originally with shoulderstock and a 100 round pan magazine as an obesrver gun, and the 38 modification changed it to a belt feed and spade grips for use in armoured vehicles.
Thanks for the very detailed video. I think these tanks would have been relatively effective in service in 1940-41, like PzKpfw III, but they were totally useless in 1944, like PzKpfw III.
Before this article and video, I'd never realized how much this tank looked like a fattened pz 35 😆..it also would been interesting if they had used the pz 38s running gear instead, I wonder if the torsion bars would have provided a better ride.
@@BHuang92 huh!!.. didnt know that .had not looked that up before and had assumed it to be torsion bars...after looking at technical drawings, it's odd how it's just basically a reworked version of the pz35s suspension with bigger road wheels.
@@morteforte7033 V-8-H/ST vz.39 was from ČKD, same company that made LT vz.38, yet they used suspension with tiny wheels. Also look up Škoda T-15, improved version of Pz.35(t) with bigger wheels.
The road wheels on the Panzer 38T are misleading and the suspension is actually leaf spring. Just like how a lot of people still claim that Russian tanks use a Christie suspension when they actually use torsion bars instead. The large road wheels, slack track, and lack of return rollers aren't necessarily indicative of a Christie suspension.
I thought too, but apparently it's a Romanian roundel, so red, yellow and blue, but the yellow probably became very pale because of the sun after a wile.
I think you made a mistake with the assault guns. Zrínyi I was the one with the 105 mm howitzer, because these were produced in series and participated in combat. The Zrínyi II was to be the one with the 75 mm long gun, AFAIK it reached only the prototype stage.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT oh okk the roundel seemed to me to be blue, white and red, thanks for the explanation! Love your videos and your website btw, the team is doing a fantastic job!
It betrays my narrow perspective, but I struggle to understand why a country in Hungary's situation would try to build its own AFV at this time when so many other countries would have obliged. You mention Germany did not price its Pz at the right level, but surely Britain or America or France might?
America had no tanks to export. Britain had no tanks to export. France did indeed have tanks to export, but they were with significant problems and Hungary was not aligned with France, so a sale was improbable.
I wonder if an up sizing of the T-21 would have resulted in a really decent tank. Something able to take a 75mm gun it could have been a real tank for the Hungarian army
Turan could take the 75mm. But officials in the army though its main cannon was adequate. By the time they finished the prototype the allies bombed the factory were the prototype was and destroyed it.
considering the economical disaster hungary was in after the dictatum of trianon what robbed the countly from almost all its heavy industry, mines, forests and railways its quite a huge achivement domestic hungarian vehicles were made
Hungry loss 500,000 troops on the eastern front you would of thought the Germans would help them build a tank in a place which was also out of bomber range

Despite the reputation and hype, the biggest death traps in WWII was the german tanks. The mortality rate of tank crews tells the story. The german crews had the least chance to evacuate a destroyed vehicle. Especially with the later designs. The best chance to survive the destruction of the vehicle?

Does it have a sprocket front and back? Why! And it appears they're even different diameters!
Sprocket idlers have been used at times in order to keep the track from slipping.
men of war players would like to disagree
It betrays my narrow perspective, but I struggle to understand why a country in Hungary's situation would try to build its own AFV at this time when so many other countries would have obliged. You mention Germany did not price its Pz at the right level, but surely Britain or America or France might?
America had no tanks to export. Britain had no tanks to export.
France did indeed have tanks to export, but they were with significant problems and Hungary was not aligned with France, so a sale was improbable.
@@TanksEncyclopediaYT thanks for the answer. When were they making the decision?
@@tamlandipper29 1938-1939
I wonder if an up sizing of the T-21 would have resulted in a really decent tank. Something able to take a 75mm gun it could have been a real tank for the Hungarian army
Turan could take the 75mm. But officials in the army though its main cannon was adequate. By the time they finished the prototype the allies bombed the factory were the prototype was and destroyed it.
Wish version of lt vz.38
Why are the subtitles so strange?
They are not subtitles, rather image captions
At 2:01 : there they are looking for a suitable tank.
considering the economical disaster hungary was in after the dictatum of trianon what robbed the countly from almost all its heavy industry, mines, forests and railways its quite a huge achivement domestic hungarian vehicles were made
Hungry loss 500,000 troops on the eastern front you would of thought the Germans would help them build a tank in a place which was also out of bomber range
Nice tanks.
Wish the mexican military during the inter war period had taken the attempt to create another domestic tank and other vehicles
Thats harsh kinda to call it a poor man's panzer
Turan 🐺
Cool video
yeah wtf is up with the Roosevelt picture lol
It looks like the child of a 38t and a panzer III.
You should have a look at the 44M Tas , it's the child of a Panther and a T-34

heh turan .. itialy gave hungary the rivits germany gave them a Picture of a panzer 3 .. GO TO IT! ..
Helló! Én egy Turán páncélos unokája vagyok! Sok Amerikai repülőgép végzete volt ! Alacsony repülési magasság volt a csapda ! Torony gépágyúk és némely tankon a csövön több gyűrű is volt ez jelentette a légvédelmi darabszámot ! Sok amerikai magabiztos pilóta veszett oda ! Mert lelőtték ! De sajna történt egy dolog a szenvicspáncél helyett , ólmot öntöttek a két acél lemez közé .Mely rossz védelmet és töbletfogyastást okozott . Tehát árulás történt ! A gyári dolgozók között diverzánsok okozták ! Nagyapa megúszta egy , gerinc zúzódással és át lőtték a száját ! Isten irgalmazzon azoknak akik el árulták a házát!
Turánon nem volt kompozit páncél.
AZ nem Turán volt, hanem Nimród.
Sounds like it was a death trap for the users.
Despite the reputation and hype, the biggest death traps in WWII was the german tanks. The mortality rate of tank crews tells the story. The german crews had the least chance to evacuate a destroyed vehicle. Especially with the later designs. The best chance to survive the destruction of the vehicle? Well, that title belongs to the Sherman.
@@egyeneskifli7808 Actuallytually I think Soviet tanks were the biggest death traps.
@@egyeneskifli7808 well I mean Germany lost the war os of course they would have high casualties

@@raymondromanos1479 what we mean by that is that we need a new narrator and a script writer before we worry about microphones.
Our current narrator is doing it out of a lack of alternatives and he wants to be replaced
