- Video description: Tanks of today are a result of a century of development from the first primitive armored vehicles, due to improvements in technology. Tanks underwent tremendous shifts in capability in the years since their first appearance. But the oldest Tanks are not always historical relics. Many still are operational throughout the world and some countries have upgraded them and they function as good as the modern ones... This video presents the 8 oldest tanks that are still in service
Enjoy watching. Cheers!

People do have to remember that for your average infantryman, a tank is a tank, doesn't matter if they are the latest MBT or World War 2 relics. You can't touch them unless you have some sort of AT weapons (RPG, ATGM, recoilless gun, etc), and their gun with HE shells still pack a heavy punch, not to mention their coaxial machine guns. You can still wreck havoc with a T34/85 or a M4 Sherman, if all your enemies have are rifles.
Don't your regularly see each squad have an rpg even with impoverished syrians and taliban
@@jason200912 That really depends on the supply situation, terrain, and whether those carrying the weapons know what they are doing. Whether the tanks have infantry support will also be a huge factor. And yeah, for the individual soldier that is not carrying a RPG, they're not going to have a good time unless they know their mates will deal with those tanks.
@@jason200912 having a mobile 75mm to 100 mm gun wich is imun to small arms/splinters is still a boon. You dont sent a tank into house to house fighting when faced with hordes od PRGs you use them as mobile artillery suport. by metrics of armor Toyotas with 23mm guns are death traps too but their efective use all over 3rd word nations tells otherwise....
molotovs and thermite grenades are things that can be made at home, and destroy tanks. Also. mines can be home made and disable them. But generally, yes even an old T-34 or Patton is a fearsome and deadly weapons system, no doubt..personally, I was always a fan of the Pershing, Patton, and the M-60 tank, the predecessor to the M1Abrams. But the Russian tanks, T-55 up thru T-72 are pretty fearsome, if no match for an M1A today...
I would put some small composite on top, or ERA, APS, thermal and sent them to fight. Upgrade the power pack and put some ATGM's on top
A few points.
According to Wiki, the Sherman was phased out by Paraguay in 2018. They apparently still operate the M3 Stuart in the training role.
The M3 Stuart technically entered service after the T-34, but is really a more old-fashioned design than the T-34. It was based on the M2 Light Tank, which saw service in 1935.
Also, all of the remaining T-34's are of the 85 variety, so a more correct year of origin for them would be 1944.
The Sherman was also fitted with a British 76.5mm main armament to combat the threat from the Tigers. It was the Sherman Firefly and was used to great effect by the Brits. Only issue was the main gun had to mounted at 90 degrees to enable loading of the breach since the turret was so small.
It also was slow to load the main gun and the crew found it difficult to operate, both due to the turret being extremely cramped because of the gun, as well the gun suffering from accuracy issues due to the mount not being designed to carry the 17 pounder, which is why the US chose the 76mm gun instead
@@eazy8579 Also the HE round was not nearly as good as that of the old 75mm, therefore making the tank worse as an infantry support vehicle.
@@Stripedbottom or at dealing with soft targets or AT guns, which were usually the bigger threat; I’ve also read a memoir (I believe it was Another Bridge, Another Town) that stated that many tankers preferred using HE rounds against German big cats because they often had poor visibility compared to the Sherman, and that the HE round could break the Traverse system or gun control systems on the Cats, as well as blowing off the tracks, all of which could effectively kill the vehicle
And what does that have to do with this video?
@@mopar_dude9227 it was mentioned in the video
M-41 walked bulldog is still in service in the danish army - they have resently been refurbished with new radio-systems and better gyro-system - have personly seen them a whole bunch of them at some army barracks in a town called Nymindegab , they looked brand new
Well done Denmark,you are a great allies for freedom
The M-41 variant DK1, was phased out in 1998-99.
Awesome 😎
nice lol
The "Super Bull Dog" upgrades look nice
These old tanks are still battle winners when nothing else is available
Except the Stuart :p
@@mirandela777 Ever heard of the Bear of Kinmen ?
As long as the enemy only has small arms, even Sherman is a nice tank.
Or nothing else is necessary. e.g. When the enemy is fielding nothing but Toyota Pickups with machine guns, then a T-34 or a M5 Stuart is all that is needed.
@@the_burger The M2 Medium with its machine guns would be an awesome vehicle against a riot.
All the T-34's shown in the end are the later model T-34/85. That was quite a redesign.
but hull is same
@@Leonid_Brezhnev1 well yes, but actually no.
@@Leonid_Brezhnev1 No, t34/85 has more frontal armor(+10mm), has reformed hull to put the 1,5times bigger and heavier turret and some reposition of inner structural strong points to move extra mass to the rear of the tank.
@@Korovkin_Pavel as well as a completely different engine
@@lazersharp0262 They need the new engine to be shorter and wider, to move the turret to the rear a little to compensate the overweight of the front portion of the hull. The overweight of the front was major stopping power of t34 modernisation. when they managed it they installed better armor and gun.
The breakthrough came with t44, when they managed to install the engine sideways.
Noticed a mistake. The picture shows a T-34-85 tank with an 85mm cannon. But not with a 76.2mm cannon
Centurion also,17 PDR MK1 in 1946
@@stevenbreach2561 No worries just a common mistake....only geeks notice.
@@paullakowski2509 guilty!🤔😆😆
If we count reserve service (stored vehicles) and tank destroyers, then Romania still has some Czechoslovak SU-100s left. Those still appear in equipment lists of today (as stored).
Vietnam is even operating SU-100 in active coastal defense units, but the SU-100 is a SPG.
Singapore used to operate the AMX 13. It was first used by the army in the late 1960s and was part of Singapore Army pioneer batch of armored units during its infancy. As years passed, it was upgraded to AMX 13 SM1. It was replaced by the German made Leopard 2A4 MBT in 2008 and was refurbished and upgraded to Leopard 2 SG.
Ah, yes. The infamous $1 tank.
I was in a armor battalion with M-48 A5 tanks. They were great and I am sure they are still being used somewhere in the world. Just keep upgrading them.
Same here. I know my old M48A5 went to Turkey after we switched to M60A3
Taiwan still used it I think
@@nilihcrevo9820 Partially in the CM-11 "Brave Tiger" (turret only), and in the CM-12, which is essentially the M48A3 upgunned with a 105mm and has a modernized FCS. There are also about 300 M48A3s with the 90mm gun in storage with the ROC Army; ready to use by reservists.
@@stephenwilloughby8141 FWIW, both Turkey and Spain kept their old M47s for a long time, and upgunned that tank with a 105mm main weapon as well. Supposedly they were retired in the 1990s as MBTs but the chassis were re-purposed as CEVs and ARVs.
M-24 Chaffe is still present at the army panzer school Oksbøl , they are used to dragging the targets at the shooting range - exciting job i would think
In Denmark, I presume?
Who's making spare parts for that relic
The Stuart and Sherman static displays in my area of Indiana / Ohio, are still technically owned by the US Army.
Recently an M60 was added that drove itself off the truck carrier and onto it's cement pad.
Looks huge parked next to the two Stuart M3A3 light tanks.
A T55 can survive a nuclear explosion, the same can't be said about the crew.
Not at ground zero, only on a specific distance.
Also the t-54 with which it is grouped cannot. The big difference between the two is the NBC system.
Lol depend on range....but it can survive that with working air filtration.
@@Kazuya.Mishima I honestly don't think there is a tank that can survive a nuclear explosion at ground zero. Historical or modern.
@@B3RyL i agree

Wow what an interesting video. I had no idea some of these are still in service. Thanks for the great content. Love your narration.
one of the oldest tank in service was TNHP... until 1939 serve in Peruvian Army, but in 2011 was returned to Chech Republic as a gift for Tank Museum Lešany, TNHP is export modification of LT vz.38, better known as PzKpfw 38 (t)
I'm familiar with these tanks. They had the same 37mm gun from the Pzkkpfw III, but were lighter. Decent mobility, good firepower for anti-infantry action or supply line ambushes, not so good for tank on tank battle. Otto Carius, the German Tiger I ace, got his start in one of these...
@@georgelugenalt200 no, gun is Škoda A-7, in Wehrmacht sign as 3,7 cm KwK 38 (t) L/47,8, PzKfw III has 3,7 cm KwK 36 L/45... but i made mistake, TNHP is factory designation for LT vz. 38, LTP is export modification (smaller, engine for high altitude, Škoda A-3 gun, only three man crew, etc.) for Peruvian Army
@@kovadlinka8118 ok thanks for information.
The best story is the Australian Centurion tank that was used by British atomic bomb tests in the fifties .
It recovered by the Australians, and put back into service.
Do not take my word for it, look it up, and be amazed !
Link
And then saw service in Viet Nam, was seriously damaged, repaired, served again, and is now on display.
@Chris Don't Miss Well, yes, given one expects such a utilitarian approach from communists.
The atomic tank. Yup, heard of it it. Was driven on to the podium thirty years later to stand as a gate guard. Centurion, the most battle proven tank in the world. F the Soviet shite. You need a good old British tank.
@@ramsaysnow9196 Shout out to people who can barely muster up enough strength in their fingers to type "link".
3:01 that’s not a M48 that’s a M47 just wanna let y’all know
Correct. The M 47 had a more narrow and longer turrent. The M 48 has a round turrent.
The M47 also had a left side driver's compartment, where the M48's was in the center.
pretty sure thats an M60 patton
@@dictatorofsalt5902, not at all. Do research, and compare turrets. Not even close.
The M48 also had a small turrent on top housing a 50 cal machine gun.
2:53 that ain’t no M48 chief that’s an m47. Ironically the tank next to it is the M48 the one you need lol
Centurion was also adopted by the Swedish army in 1953 and got the name Strv 81 or Stridsvagn 81.
Ah yes the PRIMO VICTORIA
Steel commanders
Last Centurion tank sweden had was 2005
I think the Swiss may have used them as well?
M47 Patton too is one of the oldest tank still in service with Iran which has been planned to upgrade to Tiam standards
by "upgrade" means scrap M47 patton and integrate it with other tanks like T 55, M48 patton and M60 to create a franken tank
M-47 is also still being used by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
@@patriotenfield3276 that's basically what updating older tanks is. You take the new stuff and put it on the old tank to bring it up to current standards.
M47 would be the M47M and M47E modified with M48 power packs and FCS.
Then the M48A3 was the older gas powered M48, A1 and A2 with the engines of the newer M60 as the M48A3 and then the FCS and gun of the M60 as the M48A5.
T-54/55, type 59 have been updated with T-62 and T-72 components like the T-55AM which even has the later generation tracks of a T-72.
But end users don't call them franken-tanks that's gotta be sone kind of POAG (Person Other than A Grunt) thing. 😉
Forge the thunderbolt.
@@stephenwilloughby8141 Ok Ok Gotcha.
You confused the M3 Stuart with the M5 Stuart, the names are confusing, but the M5 was a lot more advanced design
Entered service 1936. German Mark 4 Panzers. Fought with the Syrian army in the 1967 war. In the Golan Heights.

AMX-13 is such a underrated tank in the fact that tanks like the Sherman and T-26 were super famous from the war yet the AMX-13 wasn’t even tho it’s such an iconic looking tank if you ask me
maybe because it's a post-war development :D
The AMX-13 was first produced in 1952, and by that point in time it was essentially already obsolete in most roles, it only seems underrrated if you compare it to AFV's from a decade prior.
You forget the Pt-76 is still in service with the Vietnamese armed forces.
Impressive how seriously old technology can still be effective. I know none of this stuff stacks up even close to the latest Abrams but it sure is cool to see such old castings that are still in service anywhere. Old school is still relevant.
The Abrams isnt actually that good and its quite old too, just like the T-72 its received a lot of upgrades and new ammunition, it compares poorly when compared to an actually modern tank like the Challenger 2 or Leo 2A6. The upgraded South African Centurions "Olifant mk2", stacks up ok to the abrams, it has a FCS system, the 105mm L7 is somewhat outdated today but it is a very good gun still, especially with newer APFSDS developed for it and the olifant has also got a 120mm on some tanks. The olifants have also had a load of extra composite armour added on (like the abrams has), the actual penetration ability and armour thickness of composite is classified but the american one likely has an edge due to being given the latest british dorchester composite and using DU rounds which have about 20mm penetration over the tungsten ones, although quite controversial to use them. The speed and mobility probably leave a lot to be desired compared to a more modern mBT like with most centurion tanks, but its overall hardly completely outclassed, unlike a T55 or T-34, mostly due to the better upgrade potential that larger NATO tanks have to fit in more stuff.
@@cerdic6867 did this dude really compare an m1a2 to a t-72?
@@Sebaleroma Yes absolutely.
just a small mistake, you didn't show a T-34 with the 76mm gun, instead thats a picture of a T34/85 which entered service in 1943, though the 85 variant is also widely used today
I was going to comment this same exact thing but had seen where you caught the mistake also. I have noticed that people who aren't that knowledgeable about armor always get the 34 and 34/85 confused.
Nice explanation !!
In Afghanistan there were spotted a FT-17 a few years ago, some were used to block roads when the Soviet Union invaded after 1979. In 2004 our troops found 3 or 4 FT-17 Renault tanks still in Afghanistan.

Have a Google at what South Africa did with these tanks...they still serving today
Actually the Centurion didn't actually serve in WW2 because the first 6 prototypes were completed a month after Germany surrendered.
The Centurion did however serve in the Korean war.

Good Presentation. Done Well. Thank you.
Well done 👍🏼
Final comment, the T34 is a great tank. It’s not it’s performance that’s impressive, it’s the production, it could “swarm” superior tanks (not a fun factor for crews).
I disagree, until 1943 The t34 was superior to every German tank in terms of speed reliability and fire power until the appearance of the panther and tiger tanks and even in that case it could still knock out Panthers from the side and tigers under specific circumstances. You should pick up a few books about how the Soviets would not have tiger tanks it's actually very fascinating stuff
Like the Shermans
@@buffymcmuffin5361 interestingly enough, early combat reports of Sherman's going up against tigers were very one sided...in the Sherman's favor. I'm Italy, 75mm armed Sherman's we're able to wipe out entire columns of tigers I'm ambushes. It's why the US army held onto the Sherman's so late into the war
Panzer Commanders on both fronts would agree."for every one Sherman /T34 you destroyed, there were always two more". Sherman's two great flaws were being under gunned, and fire. Germans called US Shermans "Ronsons" after the famous lighter, and British Shermans "Tommy cookers". Luckily, as technically advanced as the Germans were, arrogance held them back. Had they been able to streamline, simplify and mass produce like the US and USSR...scary thought.
Stalin said it best "Quantity has a quality all it's own"
@@idontcareanymore2754 that is somewhat a myth. The "swarm doctrine" wasn't really present with Sherman's. One of the reasons the US army held on to the 75 mm armed Sherman as long as it did was because early combat reports against tigers and Panthers in Italy were won handily by the Shermans. An entire column of German tigers was destroyed in ambush by Sherman tanks with a very few. A Sherman could also knock out a panther from the side from as far away as 1500 meters. It should also be noted that the US army doctrine during world war II Sherman's were supposed to mostly support the infantry, anti-tank combat was to be carried out by dedicated tank destroyers such as the M10 and M18, both of which were excellent tank destroyers. While there are many accounts of well-trained "panzer aces" and their crews, many of the crews of tigers and Panthers were not as well trained and would often panic under fire. Combat reports from the British in action around Normandy demonstrate this, when several German Panthers were engaged and were taken under fire by British anti-tank guns and despite not dealing significant damage to the panther tanks, the German crews bailed out. The most serious flaw of the tiger and panther tanks was their lack of reliability. A quote from a historical researcher sums. up many of the problems present in early Panthers. "Due to the high numbers of technical failures and engine fires, two Panthers burned en-route between the rail station and the front lines. The fuel mixture did not always combust completely in the cylinders and ended up in the heated exhaust collector and exhaust. The fuel mixture often exploded and sometimes electrical wires caught fire from that. Besides the design flaws, running the engine at high RPMs overheated the engine and caused damage to the drive shaft. One bad flaw of the early Panthers was flames that roared out of the Panther’s exhaust pipes."
indonesia still use amx13, but we retrofit and upgrade the engine use navistar engine with 400hp and upgrade it gun from 75m to 105mm. its quite good because our posture kinda small. and i think we still have pt76 but with upgrade gun use 90mm Cockerill :3 pretty good tho~
Interesting, because I've seen PT-76 on display roadside at the road to Juanda airport. I thought it was abandoned entirely.
@@edhikurniawan some of the pt76 already retired but some of them still in use, had heard that our marinir like pt76 instead BMP-3, some times we like to experiment like pt76 with MLRS at the top of turret XD
I've seen where they take an M60 tank and completely replace and upgrade the turret, the drivetrain and much of the tank is good already. they are impressive for the cheap cost.
Admittedly probably doesn't count but I swear it was found that terrorist groups in the middle east and Afghanistan had gotten their hands on Renault FT and were using them for something, might have been non-combat roles, but it feels like a technically still in someone's service. (more making this comment for an honourable mention for the Renault FT as a WWI tank that's lasted a long time)
The T-54/55 is the tank that you would see the greatest number of during a war scenario. Almost every continent has them, they are basically the AK47 of tanks. I'm also more than certain the Russian Army is maintaining stocks of supposedly outdated vehicles to use in case of war emergency.
"maintaining" might be a bit much given the apparent state of the Russian army.
great!
Wonderful clip ⭐⭐⭐✨
AMX13 is the worst post war “NATO” tank. We had competitions on Chieftain to see how far we could throw it’s turret with a main armament hit.
It wasn’t designed to get hit in the first place. It’s role was support, as a light tank. Therefore sacrificed armor. *faceplam*
It's q light Recon tank, compare it to it's british counterpart AT the Time and it blows it out of the park

One i miss is the pz. IV cuz some countries still have (or had until a shor while ago) still Panzer IV‘s in service
Syria was the last serious PzKw IV user, but they lost most of the fleet in the Six-Day War of 1967. Mark Felton did a video on those particular tanks if you look it up. I don't think any one else either has any or uses them.

Three demonstration/parade units in service
@@mikearmstrong8483 mark Felton and Jmantimes
Depends on what you call "in service". They were retired from active Uruguayan units in 2018.
A tank kept for display or parades is no more "in service" with a nation's military than one that is privately owned by a collector and trotted out for reenactments.
Based on the logic you gentlemen are presenting, the 1916 MkIV is still in service in Great Britain, because there is one that still runs.
Centurian was introduced at the very end of WW2 1945.
The M-41 "Walkers Bulldog" is one of the best battle tank that has ever made. Despite its size, this beast proved its great durability and reliability in the battle field, one of them during the Korean War
The M47 and M48 Patton tanks NEVER saw operational service in Portuguese armed forces in colonial wars. M47 was Portuguese NATO reserve force in the 50/60 years. The M48 enter in Portuguese service in the 80 in a combined armored brigade. All the tanks are now out of service. Carlos from Portugal
Just to had some extra info. The only tanks to ever have been used in combat by the Portuguese armed forces, were 3 units of the M5A1 Stuart light tank, that were salvaged from a military junkyard/depot, and after a complete overhaul, were sent to Angola, to be used in the colonial war. This in turn caused some uproar because, although those tanks were in fact obsolete and regarded as scrap, they had been supplied to Portugal as part of NATO's defense program, and so it was illegal for Portugal to use them in any other conflict that was not NATO related. This is also, why Portugal had to recall it's F-86 jets from Africa, and acquire some G91 Fiat jets to use in that conflict.

AMX 13 aren't in service actually on French army , they are decomissioned since 1990 .
It is possible that there are some left in Djibouti, it's a rolling museum there.
But the AUF1 left , on rolling frame of a AMX 30 ; it's a self-propelled 15,5 cm gun , but actually there is not much left of an Amx 30 above.
They are so powerful that they cannot shoot in the face and must offset the barrel at least 45 ° in relation to these tracks, otherwise, he pulls back while firing .
I remember reading that the MAX 13 was so small you had to be no taller than 5'8 to be selected to serve in one.
The Russian had the same requirements in WW2- maybe still....
@@idontcareanymore2754 Can you imagine the selection process? Hey shorty, got a job for you!

Surprised to see stuarts and sherman's on the list..... Not surprised to hear they're mainly for training purposes tho. 😅. Centurion m48 and t54/55 r still very good tanks for lower end countries to grab up I believe. That south african modified centurion is a real nice upgrade.
The Israelis used them as a gun tank up until the early 90's they then converted their centurions into APC's by removing the turret in favor of a casemate and slightly repositioning the engine to make way for a rear door, upto 10 troops depending on variant can be carried (including a variant where they replace the turret with a small watchtower rather than a casemate). They also made engineering vehicles (such as flail and bulldozers) and still use them in frontline service. Armoured recovery vehicle variants also remained in service with a lot of other countries up until around the 90's.
@@watcherzero5256 and I think just to put the period on the record no japanese ww2 era vehicle has been used in service since then.... and the last use of a german ww2 ground vehicle I know of is panzer 4's in the arab desert in 1967.

I love her accent. Also catching how some bits on the US tanks are near quotations from Tank Museum and US Armor and Cavalry museum write ups. 😉
Forge the thunderbolt.
I guess a lot of old hulls can be turned into armored platforms for something else, like AA or missile launchers.
I'd rather be in something based on an old tank, than an old M-113
Damn it's seems i might be ill prepared to invade Paraguay, we are gonna have to post pone until further notice.
good job ✊✊✊✊✊🍿🍿🍿
I did not know the bulldog was still used lol.
So why did you label the Centurion "Centurion Tank" when all the others are just named and _tank_ is assumed.
Dunno, ask the researchers, scriptwriters and editors.
I was with M48a3 back in 1995 to 1997 in Taiwan army...
2:56 that's not a M48, that's a M47
1986 usmc m60 great Tanks. Gunner. M1 is a freak though. Got to ride in one before I got out.
Too bad theres no more Tanks in the Corps though. Times change I suppose.
Yeah my father was a Marine Vietnam Vet and a tanker. He was heartbroken to learn the Corps did away with all the tanks. He loved the M48.
👍👍👍
the basics of tanks have not changed all that much really .. improvements to armour - often added-on. upgrades to gun, electrics etc. but the tanks , which are expensive, can run and run for many years. if their owners are not facing far more modern and powerful tanks from unfriendly neighbours, they dont really need to replace them. the Centurion was a true MBT and with gun upgrades easily lasted until the 80's for combat. Centurions in Israeli service turned whole armies of soviet tanks operated by the arabs into scrap metal .. Jordanians also operated Centurions and many were captured in 1967 war and pressed into IDF service. Centurions actually appeared in 1945 and were sent to Germany just too late for combat.. Korea was first war they fought in, and were easily the best tank in the conflict.
Firepower, Mobility, Protection.
South Africa has continued to operate their variants of the Centurion, the Olifant. You may already know that.

Actually T-34 not the same ast T-34-85, there were modification which changed tank pretty much, so calling T-34 and T-34-85 same tank not really correct. and still if tank got any armor to stop bullets and guns, it can cause big problems to light armed infantry
It must be weird operating a war machine older than you are
Ah yes M-48 Patent and M3 Steward
Skipped over the M47 which is still in service today.
I love how old tanks remain in service, like old war horses they never stop doing their duty, I wish that Germans Tanks had better fate than these they deserved a longer service for sure. And leading the list the T-34 still rolls on.
Some Panzer 4s stayed around with Arab countries. Sadly no one maintained a stock of Panthers, which were superior to the Sherman and T-34.
@@Zorro9129 Syria aquired a bunch of Panzerkampfwagen 4, StuG 3 and Jaggdpanzer 4.
@@hendi1571 did they put them into museums after dicomissioned or they just left them in the bloody desert and let the nomads to scrap them into pieces?
@@edison7300037 the operational Panzer 4, Stug 3 and Jagdpanzer 4 were located in the golan heights when the six days war began (previously, Panzer 4 were used in the water war and two had been destroyed).
Many were destroyed by the advancing israeli forces, some were sabotaged and abandoned by their own crews, but four Panzer 4 and one Stug 3 were captured intact and are nowadays located in museums or placed as monuments in Israel. Two knocked out Panzer 4 were salvaged by the idf to evaluate israeli ammo. Many damaged Panzers are sitting and rusting in the Golan heights to this day.
The vehicles which were located in Syria after the war were mostly non operational, some had already been phased out prior to the war. They were most likely scrapped in the following years with some exceptions: one Panzer 4 Was possibly sold to a jordan collector, while the remaining five Jagdpanzer 4 (out of six, one had been lost in the 1967 war) were still listed as long-term warehoused in 1990.
fun fact: the t54/55 black n white photo it was one of the czechoslovakian t54/55
The T54/55 is an extremely simple tank to operate. It’s ideal for a conscript army, but is extremely vulnerable to a professional tank force.
its extremely vulnerable to everything in 2021
@@PresidentEvil Every tank is vulnerable to a motivated grenadier if the infantry support is lacking
Question, is it fully stabilized? I dont think it is able to shoot on the move🤔
@@MrT743 no it isnt but i see it as more of an ambush tank given how old it is and not gonna do much to the front of a MBT but will put hurting to a bradley if it can suprise it
@@dictatorofsalt5902 true! If there is one thing i give Communist or now Russia credit for it is this: the ability to come up with cheap solutions for expensive problems...
Cheers🇳🇱
You neglected to mention my mother-in-law in your selections.
T-34-85 has 85 mm gun
That Fort Benning pic lmao
the T-34-85 is shown but the main gun is show to be a F-34 when in fact the model you show would have the D-5T
the t34 85 is also still in yuse in north korea and some african countries same as syria where the serve as a artillery support unit
I am so happy that the pet roll engines are being upgraded to diesel engines. Stoopid robot voices.
In 2010 I saw some T34 dug in close to the airport of Damascus (Syria).
pretty sure the T-34s in use are the 85mm variants, which would be 1943/44.
the stuart then would be the oldest
Any tank is as good as any other tank until a better tank or anti-tank weapon shows up
Did no one notice the fact that they put a photo of a m47 Patton up wile they were talking about the m48 Patton
Israel has a smart use of this old tanks, they convert them to cheap troop carriers with great frontal armor protection.
6:20 Remind the Generals that if Paraguay starts something we only need to send one tank.
I'm really not sure that three tanks being used (maybe) for training in Paraguay really counts ..
Israel still has M50/51 Sherman refits used for training and in reserve units
@@haroldcarfrey4206 Honestly, I don't think they do. They were completely withdrawn from reserve service in the early nineties , nearly thirty years ago now.
I am from paraguay, they are used in exercises, there are videos of them, also, in case of a war, they wolud be used as we don't really have many tanks but armored cars, and would be used similarly to the panzer 1, exclusively to suport the infantry
@@andrewwoodhead3141 The M50/51 Shermans are still used for initial tank driver training, at least they where in 2008 when I was in, our base museum sent them some parts in exchange for some things we needed.
"M48 Patton" but in the timestamp "M48 Patent"
