🙏🏻🇷🇺 Patriot Park READ VIDEO POINTS BELOW Higher quantity from the soviets doesn’t mean that they had lower quality. A lot of people are commenting because I said what I said that I believe that they had lower quality weapons. When I said “unfortunately the tiger didn’t help them” this is from their point of view what they thought not what I feel. Many people don’t understand this maybe their first language is not English. I’m clearly talking about the axis sentiment. Fortunately for us (the rest of the world) they didn’t work. LAND LEASE MENTIONED IN VIDEO. I’d also like to address the new subscribers and the old with a big thank you for sharing this video.
I was in the military for over 20 years, and I can tell you most Infantry Soldiers would trade an M4 or M16 for an AK any day of the week! As for Mr. know your history down here... It was USSR, not the URSS. Maybe clean up your own backyard before correcting others?
Soviet weapons were/are every bit as sophisticated as ours, sometimes better because a farmer could use it. The problem was that safety was an afterthought and most products were assembled at gunpoint, so if every fifth unit coming down the assembly line worked, it was good enough.
I saw one video where a veteran of the war, he was a tanker, he said that when they received equipment that came under Lend-Lease, they often found hidden gifts from the guys from the U.S. who made and sent this equipment, it was whiskey, cigars, chocolate and other nice little things, as well as letters of support!!!
that is very cool. I love reading stories like this please do continue sharing any information you have you know that this channels common section is a forum
This reminds me of "American support" in current conflict, this time around against Russian nation. I wonder if Ukrainians also find whiskey, cigars and perhaps something else in equipment delivered from uncle Sam.
People are quick to forget that Russia and America were friends and allies during both world wars imperial Russia was also one of the First Nations to recognise America as a country during war of independence
Let’s be honest… they were not!! The drift is that Mikoyan’s brother was a high ranking politician in a polit-burro that always get them a projects even if they didn’t deserved it or were bad at it! Really good designers and bureaus was suffering because of that… And in the end many soviet pilots lost their life’s in incompetent aircrafts!
@@stormtrooper9404 Not reallly, Migs have proven their worth in combat. Add to the fact that most Mig aircraft used in combat in the past 70 years were not flown by the Russians/Soviets.
@@stormtrooper9404 Artem Mikoyan's son was a pilot and fought in WWII and was shot down in 1942. Because his uncle was a Politbureau member? M.Gurevich was a Jew, studied aviation engineering in France along with M.Dassault, continued education in the USA. Whose son or brother was he? You produce total crap! And MiG Alley was a nightmare and a graveyard for Americans in Korean War!
The fact is that while the Soviet Army stood out through quantity, its weapons - from T-34 tanks, through Yak-3 and La-5 fighters to field artillery - was of fairly good quality. Even if Germans had great tanks and good fighter planes, the difference was not overwhelming.
TBF I don't think German tanks were of that high quality, at least in terms of being way ahead of their contemporaries - in fact both Britain and France probably had better tanks in 1940, and the Soviets certainly did in 1941/42. What gave the Germans the success was the concepts by which they were used, the training and the command and control of them in the field.
You recognise what german military loses 7 mln and Soviets 9? Right? Whe rest of soviet loses was from civilians what United Europe soldiers slaughtered without any hesitation.
@@idk_just_julius I disagree, I think even with the resources (and they had a lot) they were always going to lose a protracted war against multiple opponents. Even if the USA had stayed out of Europe and focused on Japan, the combined might of the USSR and Commonwealth would have flattened them eventually.
@@realwarbeastthe only sense of "united Europe" at that time was how widespread resistance was against the Nazis. Yes, some traitors fought for them but many of them got what was coming to them.

@@elite6848 Well Russia has lost hundreds of thousands of men, and thousands of pieces of equipment but I guess that doesn't matter since they captured some 40 year old western equipment
Those Japanese tanks were mostly intended for light operations. China was mostly hills and mountains, and nothing heavy was viable, especially when considering the southern part, where it was even worse with Jungles. Even in '39, the Soviet tanks were superior to their Japanese counterparts (which was proven during the battle of Khalkhin Gol). Superior as in the whole package, as armor at the time was 13-25mm thick at most, and anything you hit was going to be penetrated in most cases. Only in 1942 did they start arming tanks with a higher velocity 47mm, which was a bit too late. And then, 1945 comes and the Soviets just annihilate the Kwantung army. There was nothing the Japanese could have done to fight such an advanced army.
thank you so much I am grateful for such knowledgeable comments I am amazed at the intelligence of our subscribers. You guys are above and beyond when it comes to putting information onto a comment.
Japanese tanks were good enough for what they were up against all things considered. They were outclassed by US tanks though later in the war not to mention Soviet tanks in 1945.
for me japan is a nation with little resources, they can't build more tanks and Ships, even their famous Zero is because they don't have enough steel / aluminium, hence they want to occupy southern asia and china, because they're rich in resources.
@@diawannoto its really impressive they even reached the heights they did, with so little to work with in comparison to the other big powers at the time
@@frenak12 Yeah but let's not forget that Japan at that time is one of the biggest naval power, especially in Asia its the only asian country have that kind of navy at that time, adding most Asians Countries at that time has little to no mechanized stuff, and not much of a military and China was still exhausted from its civil war, US in Philippines was unprepared, as well as in Pearl Harbor. They have alot to work with but they stretched far too thin their military and their important ships got most of them f*** in Midway, lost alot of their experienced soldier, their tanks didn't develop much cause of infighting between two branches who get prioritized and it was the navy.

Great to see the display, I was over there a long time back & a friend from St Petersburg showed me around that park. Looks like they really improved the whole thing with the new added vehicles & equipment. Really crisp vid & excellent editing, great work man ty
The M113 in 22:18 is actually a Licensed build and slightly modified version of the M113, made In the Netherlands called the "YPR 765". Inside the waring sign is also in Dutch instead of English. They are no longer in active service in the Netherlands and were formerly also operated by the Belgians, and currently still in service with the Egytian, Jordanian, Chillean, Bahrainian and now Ukrainian militaries. Although very similar to the M113, this vehicle is not "American equipment" as the Americans never operated any. (But to be fair part of the vehicles components and the base design are American). Its pretty safe to assume that this vehicle Is Dutch buildt and formerly operated by the Netherlands before being donated to Ukraine and subsequently captured by Russia, as the Netherlands is for as far as I know the only country to have publicly announced back in 2022 to have donated 196 of such vehicles. Interesting to see nonetheless, never expected a vehicle buildt close to where I live to end up in a Russian museum.
"Through the eyes of" Anja, a wonderful Polish Lady was touring this Museum a while ago too, She made me aware of it. This Museum is on my buckett list now. Greetings from Canada.

Thank you very much for the video! I recently visited this park in August; unfortunately, the exhibition with captured weapons was closed to individual visits. You should definitely visit the "Memory Road" museum, which is located around the temple of the armed forces you mentioned. In my opinion, this is one of the best museums in Russia. Nevertheless, it’s very cool that you got so far, to the Patriot Park all the way from Irkutsk. Keep it up!
thank you so much for the support my friend. I am so happy that you got to visit the park. Please do remember to share the video if possible. Thanks for taking the time to watch.
I feel what you feel man. Sometimes the flashbacks keep coming when you are at the situation or when you with a piece of equipment you remember the memory. Their who at the war in combat area will know the feeling. Lot of noise from gun and bombs . The shock waves at the blast and the smells of battlefield. Thanks God it just memory..
If you are interested in Soviet and Russian Aviation, I advise you to visit the Central Air Force Museum in Monino. It is not far from Moscow. For example, there is the largest helicopter in the history of the B-12.
An American could visit the chic tank museum in Kubinka , which is located next to Patriot Park . There is also a permanent deployment point of the 4th Tank Kantemirovskaya Division .
Why are you wondering why you see a Sherman M4? More than 4000 were given to the Soviet as part of the lend-lease deal. If you are a veteran, it seems that your military and historical knowledge is quite limited!!!
@@MagnificentPig That is a basic fact. The Americans saved the Russians by supplying them weapons and tanks. Russia was getting routed by the Nazis. Russians are not good fighters, they just have a really large army. The Russian soldier lacks discipline, and many are drunks. Russian alcohol consumption rates highest in the world. It is a country of drunks and the men die relatively young because of alcohol. This guy at the museum is probably a drunk too. 😂
Japanese tanks were smaller by design due to the areas they were deployed in. It's difficult to have a large tank move through rainforests and through the narrow alleyways of Asian cities + fighting in all the islands.
yes, I understand this and they did it with bad intentions. Thank you so much for watching this video. Thank you for the comment. Please consider sharing this video.
Причина всегда одна - стремление США контролировать все страны мира, зарабатывать деньги на чужих войнах, провоцировать раздел чужих территорий и участвовать в нем. Советский Союз выплачивал долги за «дружественную помощь» в течение 45 лет. Затем долги по ленд-лизу перешли к России после развала Союза (в котором важную роль сыграли США) и она эти долги погашала до середины 2000-х. С Украиной будет еще хуже - она на долгие годы попала в настоящее рабство у Штатов, и несколько поколений украинцев заплатят деньгами, зерном, землей, ресурсами, разрешением разместить военные базы США, биологическими лабораториями, отречением от православия, принятие «ценностей» других людей. и т. д. Это помощь «Иуды», а не друга, как в СССР и сейчас на Украине. И Запад сегодня тоже является вассалом Штатов. Забавно слушать некоторые "заявления" марионеток ЕС, которые они читают по методичкам из Вашингтона. Хотя за всем этим постоянно маячит тень британцев)) (они вовремя сбежали из ЕС). И я, конечно, говорю не о простых американцах, англичанах, европейцах, а о мировых кукловодах...
8:30 The Sherman is not exactly a bad tank. It was upgraded and modified a lot through out the second World War. It was the second most produced tank in WW2 for that reason. Later in the war the Shermans were equipped with the 75mm gun which could penetrate German tanks at that time. For this reason, German tankers would generally target the Shermans with a 75mm gun. In Fury, this the only reason that Don's crew is able to kill the Tiger, although realistically at that range a normal Sherman could also probably pen it. The Sherman was also modified into a heavy tank, nicknamed the "Jumbo", it had more armour and a better gun. 13:45 The Japanese tanks weren't effect...in tank vs tank warfare. Japanese tanks were made primarily to support infantry and destroy fortified positions. The majority of the tank fighting the Japanese did were against lightly armoured American/Russian tanks, until later in the war. However even then they didn't really develop their tanks much. So yes, they suck against tanks, but that wasn't their primary role. 20:48 Butterfly mines are actually considered to be illegal to use in war. The reason for this is because children will often mistake them for plastic toys, pick them up and you can guess the rest.
You meant 76mm gun. 75mm shermans were excellent tanks for 1942-1943 but by 1944 they were quite outdated and they weren't replaced fast enough. In many fights they had to win by sheer numbers, kind of like 76mm T-34s had to do when facing tigers early in the war
@@KekusMagnusthe 75mm Sherman maybe wasn't great against some enemy tanks but it was excellent against enemy infantrymen, which was the enemy it mostly faced

Согласен, но на половину. С одной стороны - итальянская танковая школа конца 1930-х и до 1944 года пребывала в очень странном состоянии. Итальянцы сделали большую ставку на танкетки, но война в Эфиопии и в Испании показала ущербность и бесперспективность этих машин (несмотря на попытки повысить их боевые возможность, типа установки огнемёта). А вот с конца 1930-х, после изучения захваченного в Испании Т-26, итальянцы взялись за производство настоящих, пусть и не выдающихся, но танков. И что удивительно - на основе Т-26/Виккерс-Е они умудрились создать серию лёгких (по итальянской тогдашней классификации -- средних) танков, тяжёлый танк P26/40 (который создавался с оглядкой на Т-34) и штурмовые орудия, которые, к слову, получились очень удачными, немцы даже развернули их производство для себя после оккупации Италии в 1943. К тому же, пока итальянцы воевали в Африке, их основными противниками были так же не самые выдающиеся британские танки (кроме Матильды), пока англичане не получили в достаточных количествах американские "стюарты" и "ли". Другая сторона медали - итальянцы так и не смогли в сварную броню. P26/40, первый прототип которого был представлен в декабре 1941, а в серию пошёл только весной 1943, имел клёпаную броню, что было уже глубокой архаикой для того времени, а к этому ещё и очень ненадёжный дизельный двигатель и одноместную башню (и это был самый совершенный итальянский танк на тот момент). Они не смогли оснастить свои "средние" танки эффективными орудиями - да, для 1940 года 47-мм пушки были более чем неплохи, но в 1943 они стали практически бесполезными против большинства танков СССР и Союзников. Кроме того, темпы производства были довольно низкими, хуже дела в этом плане были только у японцев.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation in April 1993 took upon itself the payment of all Soviet debts, including Lend-Lease obligations to the United States. The Soviet debt for Lend-Lease supplies was finally paid and closed as part of settlements with the Paris Club on August 21, 2006
and as all empires, they stole from their republics to grow their wealth. they paid with gas and oil that the west buys off them. which average russians have nothing to do with. realistically they didn't pay back shit.

Its strange to see a person who is supposedly interested in military hardware and was a part of the military, knowing so little about history, giving the most vague and uneducated commentary. The Sherman is there because of the Lend-Lease Act. This is something you learn almost immediately when you take interest in military history...

Great video, the Sherman is a very early model compared to the 1944 Tiger and T34 versions you film and compare to, hence it looks fairly under armored and outgunned. If you compare it to a Panzer 3 you would be comparing a like for like fighting vehicle. Great video though the camera was very smooth and in focus. Good job. Jb.
It's not just "quantity over quality". What's absolutely crucial is that it's a quantity of exactly the same battle tanks, or tanks which shared spare parts between one another for easy repair and re-fitting. This also simplified training. Right now even if Ukraine had "quantity" - it would not be successful against Russia, and one of the reasons is - this quantity would be disparate equipment with differing non-matching spare parts and shells, different training required to operate it (as is the case with F-16). In a war theatre that is as environment-intensive as Ukraine having disparate, non-matching equipment means that 50^ of it or more will remain useless and couldn't participate in maneuvers at any given time. As far as American Shermans, - they as well as other tanks and equipment (like British "Matilda" tank - were part of Allied Lendlease to USSR. These tanks were already outgunned and outmatched by 1942-43, but they could still be used in limited operations or as infantry support, and they were used almost until the very end of the war. Now, as for Tiger" - it was not a well engineered tank at all, not for the Soviet war theatre. More of these got broken down and abandoned than taken out by the Soviet cannons. It was too heavy for "chernozem" soils, overlapping wheels made it very difficult to repair in the field, while frost/ice made them stick together. It wasn't maneuverable enough on rough ground and ambushes with front and rearmost tanks rendered inoperable and the rest of the column - easy pickings for artillery became a World War II "classic" in part due to such heavy tanks. The Germans sacrificed everything for thick frontal armor and large caliber canon, pretty terrible miscalculation on their part.
The Panther tank that was in the video is in full working order, there is a series of videos about it with a mechanic who "takes care" of this tank - «Пантера» парка «Патриот» this is a series of three videos in Russian and there is also an interview "Евгений Москалев: я - водитель «Пантеры»!". If you are interested in the history and technical part of the Panther tank, I advise you to look. Moreover, now you can watch videos with real-time translation, you know through what, they won't advertise here)

@@Klovaneer Unfortunately, I do not know anything about Jagdpanther recovery. Almost all of these vehicles were captured in battle and were damaged to one degree or another. Almost all the cars were disassembled, studied and not always assembled back to the end. For example, the same Panther did not have the hydraulic drive of the tower returned, the tower rotates only manually with the help of flywheels. Maybe they will be restored in the future, but based on what the museum mechanic of the Panther told, it will be a difficult and expensive process, because for the same Panther, some parts had to be made from scratch on their own, they gave the engine to a third-party organization, I don't remember the name, so that they would restore it. Old mechanisms require large investments, alas.
Great video. I was at Patriot Park shortly before Covid lockdowns etc. Many other outer buildings that house German WW2 trucks and staff cars etc. Also obscure Axis vehicles. A gun range, tank biathlon course and much more. You need at least a full day. Just subscribed to your channel.
The Quality of the Tiger tanks is not necessarily "superior" it depends on how you measure it. They were notoriously prone to mechanical failure and combined with their limited number meant that they were never war winning machines. But great on paper... and when working properly.
4:20. A Soviet T-70 light tank. Used in WWII was not capable of standing up to any German tank but it did very well in the north of Russia. They were used in forested areas around St Pete and other localities. Their superior mobility and 20 mm autocannons made them deadly against fortifications, destroying bunkers and strong points in villages.
I think the Т70 perfectly resisted the German Т1, Т2 and Т3. Why compare a light Russian tank with an average German one, forgetting about the light German ones?
You should have compared T-70 not again Tigers and Panthers, but again German tanks of the same weight category - light tanks. T-70 was way way better than German counterparts - light tanks T-1 and T-2. It was also better than Czech tank LT. vz.38 that also served in German army in massive numbers. Heavy and light tanks are intended for different tasks and purposes but each category has its own importancy.
@@AlexanderTch When did the T-70 ever face a German light tank? Next to never. The vast majority of German tanks were Mk 3 or Mk 4s. I'm not saying it didn't happen but it was certainly not often.
@@Scrat335 Т-70s met German and Japanese light tanks everywhere. Besides, tanks are not intended to meet another tanks , especially light tanks. Light tanks are for supporting infantry , for patrolling areas, for scouting. In some cases they helped a lot what bridges were light or it was necessary to cross big rivers and lakes by ice, like it happened under Leningrad.

People forget how old these weapons are. Even the most "cutting-edge" weapons systems we have are going on decades old, most of these date back to the Cold War in terms of design, going from 25 years to even 65 years old.
The original design is decades old but they received many upgrades and a lot of the cutting edge are new builds and not just refits. The ones being sent are however old.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 The upgrades are important to note, but they don't ultimately change the vehicle's abilities by all that much. Survivability, maybe, but a modern APFSDS round slices through almost anything like butter, and you simply don't have enough horsepower in an engine, or even a turbine, to fully armor a vehicle to the point that it would become impervious to drones.
This shot where kids play on top of german tank that was suppose to kill their ancestors so they would never born is kinda ironic. Life has a twisted sense of humour. And new generation of german tanks rolling east is like a history repeating itself. I wonder if history really teaches us anything if we keep coming to the same place over and over again 🤔
@@Wild-Siberia Yeah. I mean - I understand that modern weapons are much more deadlier than those of WW2 but these german vehicles have some kind of dark aura around them whenever I see them - those strict square shapes and sharp angles it's like they are bearing that anti human idiology in them - dark machine spirit or smth like that. Especially Tiger tank - I bet those killed a lot of allies tech before they were stopped

Dan, the question of whether one favors quantity over quality is almost derivative to the fact that when it comes to war, you should consider quantity and quality, but the innovative nature of humans can determine the situational use of the weapon eliminating the idea of quantity over quality but rather the idea of whether the application of the said weapon should be purposeful or simply based on the circumstances of the assault or attack. Sort of how a spider uses its webs to incapacitate smaller prey as opposed to venom that has selectively evolved to incapacitate mammals and larger prey

Must be very cool for Russians to see countries that care about their soldiers, therefore manufacturing vehicles that actually protect their inhabitants instead of just immediately turning into fireballs upon enemy contact like the Russian stuff.
yes, thank you so much but the Germans thought that they had superior technology and they thought that they would change the game with their tanks. This is all I was trying to explain sort of what they think now with her leopards. I hope that makes sense. Thank you so much for watching the video. Please do share it.
@@Wild-Siberia Allies had better half tracks than soviets that's why we were using American m3/ m5 half tracks to carry troops or use them a a transport for anti air guns like the one you showed us. They saved a lot of lives. And that Studebaker trucks - they were powerful enough to carry our heavy artillery - most of soviet heavy artillery trucks were lost during summer of 41 and then the spring counter offensive failed and german started their operation Blau to capture oil in Kavkaz region.
While in bare steel terms germans tank are not as well designed they were far more comfortable in operation but the deciding factors for germans blasting though soviets early on were doctrinal - much more flexible command and experienced officers that just went through Poland, Benelux and France. Soviets never caught up to germans in "quality ceiling" but wehrmacht was a husk of itself after bagration operation and could not reach that ceiling either. Russians opted to order more trucks and basic materiel through lend-lease because the weapons allies had were far more expensive than their own and often not suited for eastern front. Eg there is a somewhat plausible legend that .45ACP bullets wouldn't pierce heavy winter clothing as well as 7.62TT at a certain distance.
They were not better just had the greater numbers. German tanks had radio equipment in each of them for example what the Russian lacked making communication and executing tactics easier. Russian tanks were pretty rough around the edges just as today. They lack modern equipment but they have greater numbers of them. And most of the time, that's the key for victory. They can build them cheaper and faster.
I am from Saudi Arabia and I hope to visit this wonderful exhibition. I do not expect there to be an exhibition in the world that brings together all these weapons and tanks in one place, which is very beautiful.
I am in the U.S. Air Force, serving active duty. I'm still pretty new, nearly two years in and going on my second assignment after my first tour in Incirlik, Turkiye. I will say, I am a very big fan of you and I find your videos and commentary to be intriguing. Even though you have other Americans and veterans calling you a traitor and a propagandist and all that, I condemn them. You fought for your rights, you got your honorable discharge, and you're a friggen Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I've always taken an interest in Russia, and it is quite nice to see someone with relevant skills and a relevant background (Department of Defense/U.S. Military) simply living in Russia, despite everything going on. You have a Marine background in war, I have an Air Force background in policing and logistics. I am still actively serving, but it would be really cool to meet up when my contract ends in a couple of years. I don't think I want to continue serving in the U.S. military for 18 more years. Much like you, I want to go off in the world and do my own things. I would not classify myself as a patriot and I personally have no allegiance to a flag, banner, or any set of ideals. Much like you, you're a Hispanic man from the United States and you're a veteran, and now you're doing you own thing in Russia. That is quite diverse if you ask me and that shows that you're willing to do whatever you want and no one will stop you. If one thing the U.S. military taught me during my time in, no one is going to do anything for you and no one will hold your hand. You must look out for yourself and you are your own best friend. If you want something, you must get it yourself. Set goals and priorities, because no one will care about what you want more than you.
great comment listen, my citizenship is American and Mexican I love America but I love seeing the world. the military gave me only war 🤣 had this conflict not existed I wouldn’t be known and still be in Russia doing the same things. I pray for your health to stay good during your time in my friend serve your time and enjoy your life. thanks for watching and for being respectful
@@Mgaming61It was continually upgraded throughout the war like other tanks. Look up the M4A3 76(W) (Easy 8), Jumbo and other variants. I think the Sherman’s strength was its ability to be adapted to many different roles. The Israeli M51 Sherman is way different that the original M4. High velocity guns installed near the end of the war allowed the Sherman crack tiger armor as well!
@@INTERSTATE-35-WARRIOR If they'd started out with the same gun as the Firefly, it would've been an AWESOME tank. Especially with the later diesel engine.
The Sherman had that dimensions to fit into ships since they had to be shipped over the ocean. The americans could not afford to build an Königstiger like the Germans since it was to big and heavy for ships. They figured better middle to light weight Shermans and then many instead a few heavy tanks. Thats why the Sherman was no match for the Königstiger - they just got shot down in drows and could only encounter an Königstiger by surroundig 6 Sherman strategically the german tank to knock him out firing full bores continuously. That is what the germans had to do as well with their Panzer 2's which could not match the soviet K1 so they surrounded the soviet tank and shot them in an Wolfsrudel tactic (many wolves is the lions death). But the Sherman was kept light in order to fit the transporting ships. He was not bad but the latest and greatest of the german tanks he could not risk an frontal confrontation. So other means took care than of the King Tiger.
@@9mmfederalrimmed235 king tiger basically useless, bad fuel consumption, too heavy for bridges, easy to spot from air, slow, prone to mechanical breakdowns, hard to repair, etc, etc. Long story short, Shermans won, Tigers lost. Logistics.

Thanks for sharing the war tanks weaponry from ancient to modern times like SMO. Dan has the knowledge about weapons due his experience in real war. The red submarine is great. The aircraft from Afghanistan looks strong. Thanks , God bless you !
I truly enjoyed your video so, just for the knowledge here, not other reasons, at 17:28 that's actually the fan of the RD-33 engine that you saw from the front. The turbine may look pretty similar but it's meant to be rotated by a fluid (gas or liquid) and it's always at the back of the engine, at the exhaust and it is spun by the exhaust to rotate the compressor and also the first stage which is that fan in front that you saw.
Very cool museums! Id love to see it one day. US provided pretty significant amounts of war materials to the soviets under lendlease. Their trucks were especially liked. And iirc, the USSR actually was the second largest lendlease user of m4 sherman behind the British. I think they got 4-5k sherman tanks of various types over the course of the war

Thanks a lot for doing this video for us. It couldn't have been easy going through all that after what you've been through during your service. I was close to a suicide bombing during my childhood back in Sri Lanka. Decades later, i still can't take sounds of explosions or gunfire without my brain giving up on me and going blank.
Winston Churchill stated that “perfection is the enemy of progress.” The Sherman tank and Russian weapons in general were not as good as the German ones, but shear weight of production won the war for the Allies. The Germans spent so long refining the Tiger tank, it delayed its arrival on the battlefield by months. Thank you for showing us the tour.
tbf allied equipment was usually much better in the "soft factors" and not on paper. for instance shermans and even cromwells were way more reliable then german equivalents.
Greetings from Czech republic Dan! Thank you for the video I am very thrilled. I will share the video with my brother and my friends. And right now I am reading the book about a famous Stalingrad battle. Its in English the authors are David M. Glantz and Jonathan M. House. I fully recommend that book. It has much praise and many, many positive reviewes. Have a great day. Jerry.

Why don't you read Russian authors about Stalingrad battle which are usually more precise and have more access to real documents and facts and ability to talk with veterans of the battle of both sides, while western authors are mostly repeat same pro-german anti-russian chiches?

Well, come to think of it, King tiger is not all that great as far as "quality". Long 88mm cannon had great armor piercing capabilities, that is true, its thick and sloped armor was really superior to that of Tiger I, suspension reportedly provided a really smooth and comfortable ride for the crew, but that's about it as far as superiority goes. 1) The tank ended up being very heavy - so prone to being stuck in swamps and loose grounds, and not every bridge could carry it structurally and dimensionally. It was also a challenge to evacuate the damaged tank from the battlefield as it required massive amounts of towing power to get one moving. And if suspension was damaged by a mine, good luck repairing it on the field with it's two-track rollers. 2) It ended up being severely underpowered - the Tiger I and Panther both used the same V12 engine with ~500kw while being 15-25 tons lighter. Not only this means poor combat mobility, this also means that engine constantly worked under higher load and therefore required more frequent service and rebuilds, better cooling (so more fragile radiator area) and had higher fuel consumption per km of operation. 3) The engine was gasoline-fuelled, not diesel, therefore it was more thermally loaded and was easier to set alight. Specific fuel consumption (litre/kw) was also higher compared to diesels, which definitely had an impact on the German war efforts and economy in general, because economy suffered from low oil supply. 4) Turret had to cope with the massive cannon weight and recoil, so training of the turret was a challenge and was rather slow because of its sheer mass and momentum of that long high-caliber cannon. 5) Because of the mass of the tank, its transmission was constantly strained and was prone to breakdowns, which increased downtime, requirement for spares and competent repair personnel. 6) Because of the length and width of the tank compared to the width of railroad cars on euro gauge, logistics required narrow "highway" tracks to be fitted in order to transport the tank via railroad. Upon arrival it was required to fit wide "off-road" tracks before going into operations - which was not really a field exercise and required field repair facilities with all the associated logistics and touble. 7) By the time Germans started to field this tank, the supply of the Nickel and other alloying metals was in decline, and it was well-known that King tigers' as well as late-year panthers' armor alloys were not really up to spec. So in the end you don't need a tank that looks impressive - by the time of its appearance no one was really intimidated by its looks. It was not a competition of quality vs. quantity at that point, it was (and to this day still is) whether the hardware does what it's supposed to do from tactical and operational standpoint - whether it really suits the conditions on the battlefield and is sustainable by existing logistics and supplies. KT was not good for the battlefield because of its mass, low mobility, and fragile transmission, and it was a logistical nightmare because of its size, complexity, fuel and maintenance requirements.

Higher quantity from the soviets doesn’t mean that they had lower quality. A lot of people are commenting because I said what I said that I believe that they had lower quality weapons.
When I said “unfortunately the tiger didn’t help them” this is from their point of view what they thought not what I feel.
Many people don’t understand this maybe their first language is not English. I’m clearly talking about the axis sentiment. Fortunately for us (the rest of the world) they didn’t work.

The lend lease that brought american tanks to URSS, like M3 Lee and Shermans, you as an american should know your own history.

В Москве сейчас проходит большая выставка в вднх!!! Думаю для вашего канала будет интересно!!!

Soviet weapons were/are every bit as sophisticated as ours, sometimes better because a farmer could use it. The problem was that safety was an afterthought and most products were assembled at gunpoint, so if every fifth unit coming down the assembly line worked, it was good enough.
I saw one video where a veteran of the war, he was a tanker, he said that when they received equipment that came under Lend-Lease, they often found hidden gifts from the guys from the U.S. who made and sent this equipment, it was whiskey, cigars, chocolate and other nice little things, as well as letters of support!!!

And MiG Alley was a nightmare and a graveyard for Americans in Korean War!
The fact is that while the Soviet Army stood out through quantity, its weapons - from T-34 tanks, through Yak-3 and La-5 fighters to field artillery - was of fairly good quality. Even if Germans had great tanks and good fighter planes, the difference was not overwhelming.
TBF I don't think German tanks were of that high quality, at least in terms of being way ahead of their contemporaries - in fact both Britain and France probably had better tanks in 1940, and the Soviets certainly did in 1941/42. What gave the Germans the success was the concepts by which they were used, the training and the command and control of them in the field.
@@zenmollusc6128 well germany was better at the start but due to lack of recouses they fell off.

Those Japanese tanks were mostly intended for light operations. China was mostly hills and mountains, and nothing heavy was viable, especially when considering the southern part, where it was even worse with Jungles. Even in '39, the Soviet tanks were superior to their Japanese counterparts (which was proven during the battle of Khalkhin Gol). Superior as in the whole package, as armor at the time was 13-25mm thick at most, and anything you hit was going to be penetrated in most cases. Only in 1942 did they start arming tanks with a higher velocity 47mm, which was a bit too late. And then, 1945 comes and the Soviets just annihilate the Kwantung army. There was nothing the Japanese could have done to fight such an advanced army.
thank you so much I am grateful for such knowledgeable comments I am amazed at the intelligence of our subscribers. You guys are above and beyond when it comes to putting information onto a comment.
Japanese tanks were good enough for what they were up against all things considered. They were outclassed by US tanks though later in the war not to mention Soviet tanks in 1945.
for me japan is a nation with little resources, they can't build more tanks and Ships, even their famous Zero is because they don't have enough steel / aluminium, hence they want to occupy southern asia and china, because they're rich in resources.
@@diawannoto its really impressive they even reached the heights they did, with so little to work with in comparison to the other big powers at the time

The M113 in 22:18 is actually a Licensed build and slightly modified version of the M113, made In the Netherlands called the "YPR 765". Inside the waring sign is also in Dutch instead of English. They are no longer in active service in the Netherlands and were formerly also operated by the Belgians, and currently still in service with the Egytian, Jordanian, Chillean, Bahrainian and now Ukrainian militaries. Although very similar to the M113, this vehicle is not "American equipment" as the Americans never operated any. (But to be fair part of the vehicles components and the base design are American). Its pretty safe to assume that this vehicle Is Dutch buildt and formerly operated by the Netherlands before being donated to Ukraine and subsequently captured by Russia, as the Netherlands is for as far as I know the only country to have publicly announced back in 2022 to have donated 196 of such vehicles.

I feel what you feel man. Sometimes the flashbacks keep coming when you are at the situation or when you with a piece of equipment you remember the memory.
Their who at the war in combat area will know the feeling. Lot of noise from gun and bombs . The shock waves at the blast and the smells of battlefield. Thanks God it just memory..

If you are interested in Soviet and Russian Aviation, I advise you to visit the Central Air Force Museum in Monino. It is not far from Moscow.
For example, there is the largest helicopter in the history of the B-12.

An American could visit the chic tank museum in Kubinka , which is located next to Patriot Park . There is also a permanent deployment point of the 4th Tank Kantemirovskaya Division .
Not at the moment, they aren't issuing tourist visas to Americans
Any Abrams there? )
Why are you wondering why you see a Sherman M4? More than 4000 were given to the Soviet as part of the lend-lease deal. If you are a veteran, it seems that your military and historical knowledge is quite limited!!!
You think this dude is a ww2 vet? How is he supposed to know what we gave the soviets 70 years ago
@@MagnificentPig history class probably lol
@@MagnificentPig That is a basic fact. The Americans saved the Russians by supplying them weapons and tanks. Russia was getting routed by the Nazis. Russians are not good fighters, they just have a really large army. The Russian soldier lacks discipline, and many are drunks. Russian alcohol consumption rates highest in the world. It is a country of drunks and the men die relatively young because of alcohol. This guy at the museum is probably a drunk too. 😂
Thank you brother for the walk to the Patriot. Alive in Russia but haven’t been there. There is an artillery museum in St. Petersburg, I recommend it
When I’m back in Russia I plan on visiting lots of these museums
Japanese tanks were smaller by design due to the areas they were deployed in. It's difficult to have a large tank move through rainforests and through the narrow alleyways of Asian cities + fighting in all the islands.
Лес танку не помеха, он не должен шнырять как заяц между деревьями, он должен из валить и делать просеку
Да я согласен с Вами, и немного добавлю. Они по большей части предназначались для десантных операций на которых используется легкая техника
They were smaller primarily to save materials. Modern Japanese tanks are large.

Ты ошибаешься
точно, последние счета за эти "подарки" по ленд-лизу были оплачены только в 2006 году
Ага давай расскажи сколько поставили и сколько заплатили за это. Очень интересно послушать.
Причина всегда одна - стремление США контролировать все страны мира, зарабатывать деньги на чужих войнах, провоцировать раздел чужих территорий и участвовать в нем. Советский Союз выплачивал долги за «дружественную помощь» в течение 45 лет. Затем долги по ленд-лизу перешли к России после развала Союза (в котором важную роль сыграли США) и она эти долги погашала до середины 2000-х. С Украиной будет еще хуже - она на долгие годы попала в настоящее рабство у Штатов, и несколько поколений украинцев заплатят деньгами, зерном, землей, ресурсами, разрешением разместить военные базы США, биологическими лабораториями, отречением от православия, принятие «ценностей» других людей. и т. д. Это помощь «Иуды», а не друга, как в СССР и сейчас на Украине. И Запад сегодня тоже является вассалом Штатов. Забавно слушать некоторые "заявления" марионеток ЕС, которые они читают по методичкам из Вашингтона. Хотя за всем этим постоянно маячит тень британцев)) (они вовремя сбежали из ЕС). И я, конечно, говорю не о простых американцах, англичанах, европейцах, а о мировых кукловодах...
This museum added American Abrams tanks and German Leopard 2s.
8:30 The Sherman is not exactly a bad tank. It was upgraded and modified a lot through out the second World War. It was the second most produced tank in WW2 for that reason. Later in the war the Shermans were equipped with the 75mm gun which could penetrate German tanks at that time. For this reason, German tankers would generally target the Shermans with a 75mm gun. In Fury, this the only reason that Don's crew is able to kill the Tiger, although realistically at that range a normal Sherman could also probably pen it. The Sherman was also modified into a heavy tank, nicknamed the "Jumbo", it had more armour and a better gun.
13:45 The Japanese tanks weren't effect...in tank vs tank warfare. Japanese tanks were made primarily to support infantry and destroy fortified positions. The majority of the tank fighting the Japanese did were against lightly armoured American/Russian tanks, until later in the war. However even then they didn't really develop their tanks much. So yes, they suck against tanks, but that wasn't their primary role.
20:48 Butterfly mines are actually considered to be illegal to use in war. The reason for this is because children will often mistake them for plastic toys, pick them up and you can guess the rest.
You meant 76mm gun. 75mm shermans were excellent tanks for 1942-1943 but by 1944 they were quite outdated and they weren't replaced fast enough. In many fights they had to win by sheer numbers, kind of like 76mm T-34s had to do when facing tigers early in the war
@@KekusMagnus Yeah my bad.
@@KekusMagnus Did T-34s clash with tigers at the beginning of the war? Why write nonsense?
@@user-rn9vf7im6git's plenty obvious that "early" just means in earlier stages before the T-34-85 became common.

Среди немецких трофеев для меня огромный интерес вызвали венгерские танки Толди и Туран, а так же самоходные противотанковые орудия и зенитки. Они там обозначались красно-бело-зелеными крестами. Не каждый бронетанковый музей может похвастаться такими экспонатами.Венгерская бронетехника, естественно, гораздо слабее немецкой,сопоставима с японской, но гораздо лучше итальянской.

От некоторых танков пахнет мазутом, очень атмосферно(ису 100, например) 😊👍
Согласен, но на половину.
С одной стороны - итальянская танковая школа конца 1930-х и до 1944 года пребывала в очень странном состоянии. Итальянцы сделали большую ставку на танкетки, но война в Эфиопии и в Испании показала ущербность и бесперспективность этих машин (несмотря на попытки повысить их боевые возможность, типа установки огнемёта). А вот с конца 1930-х, после изучения захваченного в Испании Т-26, итальянцы взялись за производство настоящих, пусть и не выдающихся, но танков. И что удивительно - на основе Т-26/Виккерс-Е они умудрились создать серию лёгких (по итальянской тогдашней классификации -- средних) танков, тяжёлый танк P26/40 (который создавался с оглядкой на Т-34) и штурмовые орудия, которые, к слову, получились очень удачными, немцы даже развернули их производство для себя после оккупации Италии в 1943. К тому же, пока итальянцы воевали в Африке, их основными противниками были так же не самые выдающиеся британские танки (кроме Матильды), пока англичане не получили в достаточных количествах американские "стюарты" и "ли".
Другая сторона медали - итальянцы так и не смогли в сварную броню. P26/40, первый прототип которого был представлен в декабре 1941, а в серию пошёл только весной 1943, имел клёпаную броню, что было уже глубокой архаикой для того времени, а к этому ещё и очень ненадёжный дизельный двигатель и одноместную башню (и это был самый совершенный итальянский танк на тот момент). Они не смогли оснастить свои "средние" танки эффективными орудиями - да, для 1940 года 47-мм пушки были более чем неплохи, но в 1943 они стали практически бесполезными против большинства танков СССР и Союзников. Кроме того, темпы производства были довольно низкими, хуже дела в этом плане были только у японцев.
I was wondering how the Mamba got there
Very good content mate!! Thank you for sharing this, it's mind-boggling to see this! Cheers!
Once again history repeats itself and the whole world must unite to resist fascism.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Russian Federation in April 1993 took upon itself the payment of all Soviet debts, including Lend-Lease obligations to the United States. The Soviet debt for Lend-Lease supplies was finally paid and closed as part of settlements with the Paris Club on August 21, 2006
and as all empires, they stole from their republics to grow their wealth. they paid with gas and oil that the west buys off them. which average russians have nothing to do with. realistically they didn't pay back shit.
I thought the soviets finished paying off their lend lease debt in the 1980s. Maybe the 70s.
@@comhydro6391 No! Nearly the same time as the UK! The USA's closest ally! Tony Blair made the final payment. The US gave very little free!
@@RobinPhillips1957 But it was nice from their side to cancel half of Polish debt thanks to Polish Special Forces and "Operation Simoom", "As a reward for Poland's help, the US government promised to urge other governments to cancel half, or $16.5 billion, of Poland's foreign debt.
Do you know how much the lend lease total cost?? Damn I never knew russia paid it..

an L3 series? or the self driving gun next to the StuG 3?
The Soviet S-100 tank desoryer was sick
Its strange to see a person who is supposedly interested in military hardware and was a part of the military, knowing so little about history, giving the most vague and uneducated commentary. The Sherman is there because of the Lend-Lease Act. This is something you learn almost immediately when you take interest in military history...
I was an infantryman/sapper not a history expert nor a modern armor expert I still can like these things … nothing strange about that relax

Great video, the Sherman is a very early model compared to the 1944 Tiger and T34 versions you film and compare to,
hence it looks fairly under armored and outgunned.
If you compare it to a Panzer 3 you would be comparing a like for like fighting vehicle.
Great video though the camera was very smooth and in focus.
Good job.

It's not just "quantity over quality". What's absolutely crucial is that it's a quantity of exactly the same battle tanks, or tanks which shared spare parts between one another for easy repair and re-fitting. This also simplified training. Right now even if Ukraine had "quantity" - it would not be successful against Russia, and one of the reasons is - this quantity would be disparate equipment with differing non-matching spare parts and shells, different training required to operate it (as is the case with F-16). In a war theatre that is as environment-intensive as Ukraine having disparate, non-matching equipment means that 50^ of it or more will remain useless and couldn't participate in maneuvers at any given time. As far as American Shermans, - they as well as other tanks and equipment (like British "Matilda" tank - were part of Allied Lendlease to USSR. These tanks were already outgunned and outmatched by 1942-43, but they could still be used in limited operations or as infantry support, and they were used almost until the very end of the war.
Now, as for Tiger" - it was not a well engineered tank at all, not for the Soviet war theatre. More of these got broken down and abandoned than taken out by the Soviet cannons. It was too heavy for "chernozem" soils, overlapping wheels made it very difficult to repair in the field, while frost/ice made them stick together. It wasn't maneuverable enough on rough ground and ambushes with front and rearmost tanks rendered inoperable and the rest of the column - easy pickings for artillery became a World War II "classic" in part due to such heavy tanks. The Germans sacrificed everything for thick frontal armor and large caliber canon, pretty terrible miscalculation on their part.
We saw a great report from Russia . Thanks , man ! Russia is a wonderful country !
Thanks a lot for watching! I appreciate the time please consider sharing ;D
We know it
The Panther tank that was in the video is in full working order, there is a series of videos about it with a mechanic who "takes care" of this tank - «Пантера» парка «Патриот» this is a series of three videos in Russian and there is also an interview "Евгений Москалев: я - водитель «Пантеры»!".
If you are interested in the history and technical part of the Panther tank, I advise you to look. Moreover, now you can watch videos with real-time translation, you know through what, they won't advertise here)

Panther is cool but the Jagdpanther is a work of art, hope it's also running or at least planned to.
@@Klovaneer Unfortunately, I do not know anything about Jagdpanther recovery.
Almost all of these vehicles were captured in battle and were damaged to one degree or another.
Almost all the cars were disassembled, studied and not always assembled back to the end. For example, the same Panther did not have the hydraulic drive of the tower returned, the tower rotates only manually with the help of flywheels.
Maybe they will be restored in the future, but based on what the museum mechanic of the Panther told, it will be a difficult and expensive process, because for the same Panther, some parts had to be made from scratch on their own, they gave the engine to a third-party organization, I don't remember the name, so that they would restore it.
Old mechanisms require large investments, alas.
Great video. I was at Patriot Park shortly before Covid lockdowns etc. Many other outer buildings that house German WW2 trucks and staff cars etc. Also obscure Axis vehicles. A gun range, tank biathlon course and much more. You need at least a full day. Just subscribed to your channel.
Russia had covid lockdowns?
The Quality of the Tiger tanks is not necessarily "superior" it depends on how you measure it. They were notoriously prone to mechanical failure and combined with their limited number meant that they were never war winning machines. But great on paper... and when working properly.
4:20. A Soviet T-70 light tank. Used in WWII was not capable of standing up to any German tank but it did very well in the north of Russia. They were used in forested areas around St Pete and other localities. Their superior mobility and 20 mm autocannons made them deadly against fortifications, destroying bunkers and strong points in villages.
T-70 had 45 mm gun. What you think of is t-60 light tank. That one had 20 mm
I think the Т70 perfectly resisted the German Т1, Т2 and Т3. Why compare a light Russian tank with an average German one, forgetting about the light German ones?
You should have compared T-70 not again Tigers and Panthers, but again German tanks of the same weight category - light tanks. T-70 was way way better than German counterparts - light tanks T-1 and T-2. It was also better than Czech tank LT. vz.38 that also served in German army in massive numbers. Heavy and light tanks are intended for different tasks and purposes but each category has its own importancy.
@@AlexanderTch When did the T-70 ever face a German light tank? Next to never. The vast majority of German tanks were Mk 3 or Mk 4s. I'm not saying it didn't happen but it was certainly not often.
@@Scrat335 Т-70s met German and Japanese light tanks everywhere. Besides, tanks are not intended to meet another tanks , especially light tanks. Light tanks are for supporting infantry , for patrolling areas, for scouting. In some cases they helped a lot what bridges were light or it was necessary to cross big rivers and lakes by ice, like it happened under Leningrad.

It's not a pride thing, it's too preserve history so it doesn't repeat it self.
People forget how old these weapons are. Even the most "cutting-edge" weapons systems we have are going on decades old, most of these date back to the Cold War in terms of design, going from 25 years to even 65 years old.
The original design is decades old but they received many upgrades and a lot of the cutting edge are new builds and not just refits. The ones being sent are however old.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 The upgrades are important to note, but they don't ultimately change the vehicle's abilities by all that much. Survivability, maybe, but a modern APFSDS round slices through almost anything like butter, and you simply don't have enough horsepower in an engine, or even a turbine, to fully armor a vehicle to the point that it would become impervious to drones.
This shot where kids play on top of german tank that was suppose to kill their ancestors so they would never born is kinda ironic. Life has a twisted sense of humour. And new generation of german tanks rolling east is like a history repeating itself. I wonder if history really teaches us anything if we keep coming to the same place over and over again 🤔
yes, this was my mentality as I saw those kids playing on the tanks was pretty dark in my head but I am happy that the kids have somewhere to play
@@Wild-Siberia Yeah. I mean - I understand that modern weapons are much more deadlier than those of WW2 but these german vehicles have some kind of dark aura around them whenever I see them - those strict square shapes and sharp angles it's like they are bearing that anti human idiology in them - dark machine spirit or smth like that. Especially Tiger tank - I bet those killed a lot of allies tech before they were stopped

Bro it was build in 2018
Dan, the question of whether one favors quantity over quality is almost derivative to the fact that when it comes to war, you should consider quantity and quality, but the innovative nature of humans can determine the situational use of the weapon eliminating the idea of quantity over quality but rather the idea of whether the application of the said weapon should be purposeful or simply based on the circumstances of the assault or attack. Sort of how a spider uses its webs to incapacitate smaller prey as opposed to venom that has selectively evolved to incapacitate mammals and larger prey

@@Wild-Siberia Allies had better half tracks than soviets that's why we were using American m3/ m5 half tracks to carry troops or use them a a transport for anti air guns like the one you showed us. They saved a lot of lives. And that Studebaker trucks - they were powerful enough to carry our heavy artillery - most of soviet heavy artillery trucks were lost during summer of 41 and then the spring counter offensive failed and german started their operation Blau to capture oil in Kavkaz region.
While in bare steel terms germans tank are not as well designed they were far more comfortable in operation but the deciding factors for germans blasting though soviets early on were doctrinal - much more flexible command and experienced officers that just went through Poland, Benelux and France. Soviets never caught up to germans in "quality ceiling" but wehrmacht was a husk of itself after bagration operation and could not reach that ceiling either.
Russians opted to order more trucks and basic materiel through lend-lease because the weapons allies had were far more expensive than their own and often not suited for eastern front. Eg there is a somewhat plausible legend that .45ACP bullets wouldn't pierce heavy winter clothing as well as 7.62TT at a certain distance.
Certainly not better, but there were a lot of them
They were not better just had the greater numbers. German tanks had radio equipment in each of them for example what the Russian lacked making communication and executing tactics easier. Russian tanks were pretty rough around the edges just as today. They lack modern equipment but they have greater numbers of them. And most of the time, that's the key for victory. They can build them cheaper and faster.
I am from Saudi Arabia and I hope to visit this wonderful exhibition. I do not expect there to be an exhibition in the world that brings together all these weapons and tanks in one place, which is very beautiful.
I am in the U.S. Air Force, serving active duty. I'm still pretty new, nearly two years in and going on my second assignment after my first tour in Incirlik, Turkiye. I will say, I am a very big fan of you and I find your videos and commentary to be intriguing. Even though you have other Americans and veterans calling you a traitor and a propagandist and all that, I condemn them. You fought for your rights, you got your honorable discharge, and you're a friggen Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. I've always taken an interest in Russia, and it is quite nice to see someone with relevant skills and a relevant background (Department of Defense/U.S. Military) simply living in Russia, despite everything going on. You have a Marine background in war, I have an Air Force background in policing and logistics. I am still actively serving, but it would be really cool to meet up when my contract ends in a couple of years. I don't think I want to continue serving in the U.S. military for 18 more years. Much like you, I want to go off in the world and do my own things. I would not classify myself as a patriot and I personally have no allegiance to a flag, banner, or any set of ideals. Much like you, you're a Hispanic man from the United States and you're a veteran, and now you're doing you own thing in Russia. That is quite diverse if you ask me and that shows that you're willing to do whatever you want and no one will stop you. If one thing the U.S. military taught me during my time in, no one is going to do anything for you and no one will hold your hand. You must look out for yourself and you are your own best friend. If you want something, you must get it yourself. Set goals and priorities, because no one will care about what you want more than you.
great comment listen, my citizenship is American and Mexican I love America but I love seeing the world. the military gave me only war 🤣 had this conflict not existed I wouldn’t be known and still be in Russia doing the same things.

The Sherman was actually a pretty good tank. Considering tanks are NOT for fighting other tanks 95% of the time.
yeah, it was quite capable when it came out as tank. But later on it became somewhat outdated, although for infantry having any tank is a blessing
@@Mgaming61It was continually upgraded throughout the war like other tanks. Look up the M4A3 76(W) (Easy 8), Jumbo and other variants. I think the Sherman’s strength was its ability to be adapted to many different roles. The Israeli M51 Sherman is way different that the original M4. High velocity guns installed near the end of the war allowed the Sherman crack tiger armor as well!
@@INTERSTATE-35-WARRIOR If they'd started out with the same gun as the Firefly, it would've been an AWESOME tank. Especially with the later diesel engine.
The Sherman had that dimensions to fit into ships since they had to be shipped over the ocean. The americans could not afford to build an Königstiger like the Germans since it was to big and heavy for ships. They figured better middle to light weight Shermans and then many instead a few heavy tanks. Thats why the Sherman was no match for the Königstiger - they just got shot down in drows and could only encounter an Königstiger by surroundig 6 Sherman strategically the german tank to knock him out firing full bores continuously. That is what the germans had to do as well with their Panzer 2's which could not match the soviet K1 so they surrounded the soviet tank and shot them in an Wolfsrudel tactic (many wolves is the lions death).
But the Sherman was kept light in order to fit the transporting ships. He was not bad but the latest and greatest of the german tanks he could not risk an frontal confrontation. So other means took care than of the King Tiger.
@@9mmfederalrimmed235 king tiger basically useless, bad fuel consumption, too heavy for bridges, easy to spot from air, slow, prone to mechanical breakdowns, hard to repair, etc, etc. Long story short, Shermans won, Tigers lost. Logistics.
There is a large tank museum in Kubinka , it is not far from Patriot Park , if you have time , you will not regret visiting it !!!
I promise I’m gonna be visiting so many museums, especially military museum when I go back to Moscow thanks for watching the video!
wow disgusting, hope they send you the order for the front.
🤣 keep dreaming
I wish to all veterans to have a peaceful life and never experience the war again. I wish to all others to be smarter and never wish for a war.
🙏🏻
Добрый день, позвольте вставить ремарку в ваш рассказ, ничего из выставленной американской техники не было подарено Советскому Союзу, а было куплено по программе лэнглиз.
yes, thank you I had mentioned this in the video later on when I saw the writing on the boards but I do appreciate you putting in facts to the comment section.
It is people like you who make this channel great never stop
@@Wild-Siberia but USSR never paid for leasing, so actually it was a gift
Great video, my friend! There's so much to see in this expo, and you did a fantastic job giving an insightful tour. Of course, the modern section was the highlight. I'm really glad we could experience it together.
PS Still can’t figure out how you managed to film so much content in Moscow! 😅
this comment made me laugh, bro. I had three memory cards in my head planned videos. I only had 10 days to create different types of videos, so I came prepared.
I learned a lot from you
Спасибо вам обоим, дорогие друзья! Мира и здоровья вам и вашим семьям!
Знаешь, я пожалуй проявлю верх наглости. Телега есть?
BEING A SHILL HELPS
And thanx for current video itself
...yo creo que la cantidad mientras se supere cierto grado de funcionalidad y calidad, obviamente los tanques rusos tenían lo suyo :P Buen video! ...y feliz navidad, prospero año y felicidad... Pd.- Que extraña barda "Mexicana" :O Pd.- Se pusieron creativos con los maniquies :O

Thanks for sharing the war tanks weaponry from ancient to modern times like SMO. Dan has the knowledge about weapons due his experience in real war. The red submarine is great. The aircraft from Afghanistan looks strong. Thanks , God bless you !
This is amazing... thx for the tour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Germans ran out of fuel and materials to produce more tanks. I’d go with quality over quantity any day.
Awesome bro. Thank you
Thanks for
Watching
I truly enjoyed your video so, just for the knowledge here, not other reasons, at 17:28 that's actually the fan of the RD-33 engine that you saw from the front. The turbine may look pretty similar but it's meant to be rotated by a fluid (gas or liquid) and it's always at the back of the engine, at the exhaust and it is spun by the exhaust to rotate the compressor and also the first stage which is that fan in front that you saw.
Very cool museums! Id love to see it one day.
US provided pretty significant amounts of war materials to the soviets under lendlease. Their trucks were especially liked.
And iirc, the USSR actually was the second largest lendlease user of m4 sherman behind the British. I think they got 4-5k sherman tanks of various types over the course of the war
I like those led strips inside of the tracks, lets you see so much more detail. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching
great video, thank you for your military service
Very good video! You need to go back and update us on the new equipment!
Really enjoyed this episode. Thank You. I wish you were able to spend more time in there. It was really interesting. Especially more time with the captured equipment from Ukraine. Thanks again. And hope that conflict comes to and end soon.
I will be going back and doing an episode two we were only allowed a limited amount of time in there by the way. Thanks so much for watching. Please do consider sharing it.
English-Speaking Russian Lawyers for Foreigners in Moscow are HERE!
Love how they can't even get the YPR-765 right and painted a US flag on it. Really Russia in a nutshell these days, even when they score the rare win they manage to embarass themselves.
they are half built by FMC USA
I have shared where I could. Hope you get new subs, Dan, because your content is educational and informative.

American lend lease.
В коллекции не хватает Абрамса.
you know, it will probably be there in a few months along with some leopards. Thanks for watching this video please share with your friends.
@@Wild-Siberia Какой-то Леопард вроде забрали на изучение. Остальные уничтожаются или повреждаются в ходе операции.
Я где-то прочитал, что Абрамсы есть у ВСУ, но их держат в резерве и их боятся применять
@@Dr.Kermit403 Я жду когда их применят этой осенью. 90 тонн по осенней распутица - это просто подводная лодка в степях Украины. Ждем-с.
@@user-dw1op3cb6b скорее уже зимой. Вот этт будет весело :)
Ещё не вечер.Глава Пентагона уже предупредил,что не надо русским охотиться за Абрамсами,как за Леопардами,типа это нечестно.
Думаю после такого предупреждения наши ребята обязательно поохотятся и доставят парочку Абрамсов в этот музей.
if the Serbs managed to destroy the most modern western planes in 1999 with ancient anti-aircraft defense systems, just imagine what the Russians are doing to them. what did they call those weapons, game changers? what are those Russian automatic shovels doing to the "superior western armament"
Same can be said to russian military equipments
@@arthurgrande468 wait, Turkish drones Barjaktar, various howitzers, the best tanks on the planet, if not in the galaxy, Leopard, Challenger, Abrams, then Himars and scattered long-range missiles, the Russians with shovels in 10 days in October occupied more territories than NATO in the throughout the summer "counter-offensive"
@@sevasthvostanski5588 прежде, чем говорить про 10 дней, стоит наверное вспомнить количество жестов доброй воли и потерянного флота. И это-то при Арматах, Коалициях и прочих Бумерангах.
I sincerely feel sorry for the Ukrainians, but I do not understand the gullibility of the Ukraine. Western world which hates the Slavic peoples with such a passion that it is incomprehensible to me. Feudalism, slavery, communism, Marxism, imperialism, globalism, billions of people killed and enslaved, only in the last 250 years, these are the achievements of the so-called Western civilization
@@LuiseSkyboasting about destroying a ship while losing thousands of men and having lost territory since the start of greatest counter offensive is the sign of a loser. Ukraine needs to overthrow the genocidal zelensky and demand he stops sending them to their deaths. See recent statements from many ukraine front line brigades about the true situation at the front. Zelensky is a madman. 'Not one step back' to a more defensible line, all officers and generals flee but he pours in men to bakhmut v2. If you are Ukrainian you owe it to your countrymen who still live to do everything you can to stop zelensky right now. March on Kiev and refuse to leave maidan square
The South African vehicle is the Mamba APC with the V-shape hull, designed to protect you from land mines. The USA uses the RG-31 which is based on this design.
Funny this guys dont know shit about the lend lease ... xD fail

Thanks a lot for doing this video for us. It couldn't have been easy going through all that after what you've been through during your service. I was close to a suicide bombing during my childhood back in Sri Lanka. Decades later, i still can't take sounds of explosions or gunfire without my brain giving up on me and going blank.
thank you for being kind and respectful. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and commenting.
I can give you one advice: don't be a pussy.
That was an excellent tour, to one of the best War Museums of the world. I watch ALL your videos. Greetings from Canada.
thank you so much for watching all the way from Canada my brother. I appreciate your support. You know this I have a good morning.
Ty for your service carnal
25:27 Not a tank but that mistake is made quite often, it's a Swedisch IFV CV9040B with a 40mm Bofors cannon.
Very interesting tour, thanks!!!
Winston Churchill stated that “perfection is the enemy of progress.” The Sherman tank and Russian weapons in general were not as good as the German ones, but shear weight of production won the war for the Allies. The Germans spent so long refining the Tiger tank, it delayed its arrival on the battlefield by months. Thank you for showing us the tour.
tbf allied equipment was usually much better in the "soft factors" and not on paper. for instance shermans and even cromwells were way more reliable then german equivalents.
thats it. I though Russia was stronger yet they're incompetent as hell.
🤔
Great video!
I wouldn't mind a shot of coffee from the tank café...awesome video one of the best on your channel !
thank you so much for being so supportive. Ksenia liked the coffee.
Greetings from Czech republic Dan! Thank you for the video I am very thrilled. I will share the video with my brother and my friends. And right now I am reading the book about a famous Stalingrad battle. Its in English the authors are David M. Glantz and Jonathan M. House. I fully recommend that book. It has much praise and many, many positive reviewes. Have a great day. Jerry.
greetings to the Czech Republic it’s always amazing to see your comments from so far away. I am humbled by your support to the channel thank you so much by the way this recommendation of the book. If you have Telegram, please do write it there so I have it stored.
Why don't you read Russian authors about Stalingrad battle which are usually more precise and have more access to real documents and facts and ability to talk with veterans of the battle of both sides, while western authors are mostly repeat same pro-german anti-russian chiches?
Мира и уважения, вам и вашим близким в Чехии!
@@AlexanderTch Glantz used heavily work of Russian historian Isaev as a source. The book is recommend by TIK History who made a most detailed documentary on the battle. He made not only documentary about Stalingrad battle but also about operation Crusader and Market Garden among others. TIK also highly recommendes Isaev.

Привет из Сталинграда. Да, чехи очень постарались, чтобы у немцев была хорошая бронетехника. В том числе и под Сталинградом. Братушки 🙈
Well, come to think of it, King tiger is not all that great as far as "quality". Long 88mm cannon had great armor piercing capabilities, that is true, its thick and sloped armor was really superior to that of Tiger I, suspension reportedly provided a really smooth and comfortable ride for the crew, but that's about it as far as superiority goes.
1) The tank ended up being very heavy - so prone to being stuck in swamps and loose grounds, and not every bridge could carry it structurally and dimensionally. It was also a challenge to evacuate the damaged tank from the battlefield as it required massive amounts of towing power to get one moving. And if suspension was damaged by a mine, good luck repairing it on the field with it's two-track rollers.
2) It ended up being severely underpowered - the Tiger I and Panther both used the same V12 engine with ~500kw while being 15-25 tons lighter. Not only this means poor combat mobility, this also means that engine constantly worked under higher load and therefore required more frequent service and rebuilds, better cooling (so more fragile radiator area) and had higher fuel consumption per km of operation.
3) The engine was gasoline-fuelled, not diesel, therefore it was more thermally loaded and was easier to set alight. Specific fuel consumption (litre/kw) was also higher compared to diesels, which definitely had an impact on the German war efforts and economy in general, because economy suffered from low oil supply.
4) Turret had to cope with the massive cannon weight and recoil, so training of the turret was a challenge and was rather slow because of its sheer mass and momentum of that long high-caliber cannon.
5) Because of the mass of the tank, its transmission was constantly strained and was prone to breakdowns, which increased downtime, requirement for spares and competent repair personnel.
6) Because of the length and width of the tank compared to the width of railroad cars on euro gauge, logistics required narrow "highway" tracks to be fitted in order to transport the tank via railroad. Upon arrival it was required to fit wide "off-road" tracks before going into operations - which was not really a field exercise and required field repair facilities with all the associated logistics and touble.
7) By the time Germans started to field this tank, the supply of the Nickel and other alloying metals was in decline, and it was well-known that King tigers' as well as late-year panthers' armor alloys were not really up to spec.
So in the end you don't need a tank that looks impressive - by the time of its appearance no one was really intimidated by its looks. It was not a competition of quality vs. quantity at that point, it was (and to this day still is) whether the hardware does what it's supposed to do from tactical and operational standpoint - whether it really suits the conditions on the battlefield and is sustainable by existing logistics and supplies. KT was not good for the battlefield because of its mass, low mobility, and fragile transmission, and it was a logistical nightmare because of its size, complexity, fuel and maintenance requirements.
Thank you for explaination
