He is an expert. Propagandist expert that is.
He said they are the apex predators of the battlefield…
Yes its a hyperbole but also not completely wrong…
@@s1nn1ck Agree, so much editing and cuts in the video.
Not drones. Drones, as everyone understands them, are a nuisance. The 'apex predator' is the Lancet. Everything the Switchblade/Excalibur/Javelin/GLSDB/etc failed to be and more. Its accurate, its long range, its deadly, its easy and its cheap. They just started fielding the improved generation and a new even more capable variant is due for deployment mid to late summer.
I think he also got around that it sort of was the apex predator, but that drones etc has taken that power away from them.
Thousands of losses but Ukraine is the one having manpower problems?? 😅
Yeah this legend of Russia burning many tanks and thousand of men for a few meter ground ... we have videos of the battlefields now and there is not a single video ever that backs this claim.
Send Denys Davydov back, the traitor
I don't know where this people get their info, they make it look like if Russia were fighting this war like the Soviet Union did in WWII where they had more manpower than equipment, true is Russia must be the most powerful army at present day, troops and weapons, trained and built to fight a real war, and not the usual guerillas NATO have been fighting the last 40 years.
@@TotalyRandomUsername Weird... because i have seen countless videos by now of Russian tanks that were abandoned after getting hit by drones or mines?
@@m_lies Sure and you can see the same videos about Ukraine tanks. It is called propaganda. The only sources you can trust are neutral OSI channels like defence politics asia. Acording to them Russia is fighting for one and a halve year an extremly conservative war.
This isn't about the tanks. It is about having tank crews who know what they are doing.
The thing is, FPV operators also know what to do on both sides.
You can train a tank crew for 10 years, but they will be destroyed by a guy trained to fly a drone in 10 days. Think about it.
@swe1733 the problem is a tank shouldn't be alone like they are doing in Ukraine. A tank is only with it's infantry and reversed.

@@MenacingWithVideos i have no idea but i do know that any conflict the US has been involved in prior to Ukraine had total air and artillery superiority. I just ran across a vidoe with the Ukrainians talking about the Abrams with its problems in the conflict. They spoke of lack of armor, humidity knocking out electronics, the weight and how prone they are to drones being huge downfalls along with not having the correct ammunition when needed. To many AP rnds and not enough HE. He said they've fired 20 rnds into a building trying to knock it down. He also said that in this conflict the abrams primary use is as artillery not tank to tank. If i can find the video I'll share it. Any time an Abrams shows up thry are tracked down and eliminated or disabled. Then there's the huge amount of fuel to operate and the maintenance issues. As fsr as i know they pulled the Leopards off the front also for the most part. He said the Abrams and Leopards are hunted like trophy animals.

@@edthebumblingfool Drones as tank crews, bro. Save on the vodka rations.
Tanks will disappear at the hands of drones. And when artificial intelligence comes to drones, traditional rear artillery will also disappear.
Traditional rear artillery never disappear, its really cheap, cost-effective and very synergetic with drones. Its just human crew will be cut out of equation, same AI will control swarm of observer drones that spot enemies for swarm of bomb drones and automated artillery pieces.
Russia now test ground drones, small light tanks without crew that use machinegun, mine-sweeping equipment and can deliver supply for frontline squads. This is what will replace ordinary tanks eventually,
You would guess that the same AI will be controling anti drone measures/defenses on future tanks.... tanks are not going away, will just be reworked.
@@NruBseyE What you say will happen at first, manufacturers will resist to stop producing these expensive dinosaurs. But facts will prove that a large, expensive, heavy, slow, complex and for the worse, manned device cannot compete against small, two or three orders of magnitude cheaper, faster, relatively simpler and disposable weapons. A tank on the battlefield is something like a full wallet lying on the street, something that invites to be stolen. And what the enemy steals from the tank is all the money it cost... in exchange for a small sum.
Do not confuse lethality with invulnerability.
Cheap propaganda 😂😂
Yeah its basically just an ad for tank manufacturers even though the ukranians are just popping them all the time.
To be honest US air power is so ridiculously overpowered it doesn’t matter if the M1 is obsolete since air superiority will just allow massive precision bombing of enemy forces well before the tanks arrive to enter the battle. I do have a lot of respect for the Russian military but they have been underfunded for decades and are a sad shell of the Soviet military.

Back in 1972, they let us try out the LAW (Light Antitank Weapon). We shot one round at a stationary tank at 300 meters (yards). Everyone in my platoon hit the tank on the first try. OK, they weren´t firing back, and it was stationary, but, I thought to myself, "I´m staying in the infantry." 😃

1800 tanks loss, human-wave attack..yeah yeah..boring progapanda
little fpv drone > Battletank (apex predator of the battlefield)
Почитал англоязычные комментарии. Могу сказать следующее:
1. При сравнении Абрамса и танков серии Т никто не учитывает стоимость. А правда ли, что 2 танка Абрамс лучше, чем 4-5 танков Т-90?
2. Говорят, что мы не можем модернизировать танки. Нет электронных компонентов, чипов и так далее. Во много это правда. Например мы только начинаем выпуск тепловизоров. И они хуже, чем зарубежные. Но знаете, это еще не значит, что у нас нет зарубежных. Кока-Кола у нас вроде тоже не продается 😂 Как и некоторые автомобили. Например мерседес. В конце концов наши ракеты по-прежнему производятся. И если в них действительно чипы из украинских стиральных машин, значит и в танках будут они же.
3. Не принимается во внимание, что западные танки намного тяжелее. Что имеет значение на украинских черноземах. Потому что не важно, как хороша ваша броня и пушка, ваша двигательная устанвка и трансмиссия, если вы сидите в грязи по самую башню, а для ПТРК или дрона вы попрежнему уязвимы.
4. Современные противотанковые средства прекрасно уничтожают любые танки. Сами же танки в современном мире не предназначены для борьбы против танков, хотя и могут это делать. Их главное назначение поддержка и прорыв. А для борьбы с ними хороши дроны, мины и ПТУР. В том числе размещенные на вертолетах, находящихся на небольшой высоте, для меньшей заметномти ПВО, но на удалении от боя около 7 километров.
Поэтому сравнивать танки друг с другом можно, но не нужно. Потому что это глупо. Способны западные танки выполнять задачи прорыва и поддержки? Да. А русскиие? Тоже. А вот насколько хорошо те и другие могут это делать зависит от многих факторов. От грунта. Проходимости местности. Качества фортификаций и минных заграждений. Насыщенности фронта противотанковыми средствами. Господства в воздухе. Артиллерии. И даже наличия достаточно прочных мостов или достаточного количества срециальной техники для развертывания мостов. От мотивированности и обученности экипажа. И не следует забывать о снабжении и обслуживании. Короче, танки войну не выигрывают. Войну выигрывают люди. Когда всё хорошо спланировано и воплощено, когда неодиданности и сюрпризы предугаданы, когда есть готовность идти вперед и нести потери, тогда будет победа. Даже если проигрвваешь технологически. Кстати, мы с таким уже сталкивались.
5. В текущем конфликте вообще не важно, какой танк лучше. Украина проигрывает. Даже если западные танки лучше, то их недостаточно. И не танки являются главной силой этого конфликта, а артиллерия.
6. Если возникнет конфликт между Россией и США с НАТО, то качество танков тоже не будет иметь значения. Ибо в ход неизбежно пойдет ядерное оружие. Как минимум тактическое. Ну или Россия сдастся. Во что я не верю.
Вывод: плевать, какой танк лучше. У талибов их вообще не было, но мне кажется в план США не входила передача Афганистана талибам )))
самый аргументированный и логичный и грамотный комментарий супер!
Best comment in the entire section. Bravo.
Concordo plenamente com o comentário muito bem elaborado
“The tanks themselves in the modern world are not designed to fight against tanks” Are you stupid? Report this Russian propaganda account for misinformation.
As a regular American to you, I can say without any hesitation that most American's do not want to be an enemy of Russia anymore than any other country. We are not our government and you are not your government. Prior to this, I had hopes of traveling to all of Europe, the western countries of the UK, France, Germany, Spain, etc. I also had hopes of traveling to Eastern ones like Russia, where I could experience the history, culture, food, etc. I know there is personal feelings of anger from you guys post collapse of the Soviet Union, but I can say prior to the invasion of Ukraine that almost no one in America looked at Russia as our enemy anymore.
Western tanks are an extremely small minority of the tanks Ukraine uses. Most of their tanks are old Soviet T-64s.
Also ukrainian T-64. Built or upgraded to ukrainian standards.
But new and new military equipment continues to flow into Ukraine. The US announced another military package, Denmark and more...
@@Adam35779 They barely have anything to send.

@@svensvensson2724 That's enough, America has at least more weapons than Russia or can produce them faster and they have the best army and the best weapons on top of that and have a bigger, stronger, more dynamic and powerful economy. According to SIPRI (Stockholm International Peace Research Institute) estimates, the United States of America has more military weapons than Russia. The US has the largest military budget in the world and possesses a wide range of weapons, including nuclear, conventional and advanced technology.
@@Adam35779 Russia has the largest and most modern collecton of missiles in the world, including nukes.
They make 3 times more tanks than all of NATO and 10 times more artillery ammunition.

Artillery and mine and drone is actually making the game. There is actually never tank vs tank fight. This is no ww2.
that's not true.
Both are important, but their roles can vary depending on the context of the fight. Tanks are effective in direct contact with the enemy and in support of ground troops, while drones can provide strategic reconnaissance and air strikes. Their effectiveness depends on the type of combat and the environment.
There was a duel between a T72 and an M1, with the inferior Soviet-era tank knocking out the modern US tank.
The thumbnail is a Russian t-80 possible t-80U. Easy way to tell is T-72s and t-90s are built on same base and have the exhaust on the side instead off the back. Along side the snorkel tube on the back of the turret is all to common on t-80s
M1 abram is the old class from 90s send to Ukraine.......
A US."Navy" Veteran shows us a T-72 which is actually a T-80 hilarious... Veteran for what for having naval experience but not on land it seems.
This guy is literally here just to comment 'Wow, you don't know the exact classification of a tank you see? Were you even in the military?'
My guy you literally just answered your own question. Why would a NAVY veteran be extremely knowledgeable about ARMY vehicles? The fact you think a simple mistake like that is 'hilarious'...
If you are an expert, you should atleast know what tank you are talking about. T72 and T80 are very different tanks. Its not like confusing variants of the same tank.

@@teblack2 Thanks, now this comment is much more constructive.
@@teblack2 The abrams is less prone to getting stuck than any russian battle tank.
There may be errors in the text, as English is not my native language.
He mentioned the lack of Russian and Soviet tanks associated with the "departure of the tower" during the detonation of ammunition. This is due to the automatic loader. Different models of Russian tanks fire on average once every 7 seconds. Western tanks do not have an automatic loader, so they need an additional crew member. The rate of fire of Western tanks depends on how fast he can work, how tired he is, how badly tank shakes when moving and other factors.
Secondly, the video compares the cost of the most modern Russian T-90M tank with the M1A1 Abrams, which is not the best modifier of the line. For example, it is one and a half times heavier, which can become critical in off-road combat conditions.
The M1 Abrams that was sent to Ukraine is not the 'full version' if you'd like to call it that. Our Classified equipment was stripped from the Abrams sent overseas, out of fear that ruskies would get their hands on them
The Russians can fill in the blanks. For example, instead of the cardboard armor installed on the M1 there should be something more substantive.
This is just PR damage control for M1 Abrams. It blow up all the same with T72 and T55 when hit by shells, AT missiles or drones.

i like the skynet 150 ton HK tank. 4 57mm 1500 watt phased plasma cannons.
High-tech military weapons are good, but in practice, simple and reliable military weapons is better.
Russia sure has no Ammo but very effective shovels. The Abrams Leopard & Challenger Tanks were effectively taken out by shovels 😂
it turns out that FPV drones are the apex predators that eat tanks for breakfast
Yet Americans rant and rant about the superiority of their M1 tanks that had to be taken out of the fight beause of crews inexperienced in this new kind of warfare that the russians have two years of experience fighting.
Except turtle tank
Recording a va chiang lo ve aw.
T90 + 4,5 mill $, Abrams = 75 mill $...
thats because the T-90 is crap
not to forget abrams is extremely hungry for fuel compared to other tanks. so its operating cost is even more, way more
Feels like the insider totally missed the point of this war. Why are you comparing tanks...
Comparing tanks is useless. They only hit soft targets which do not require up to date optics, armor, reloading speed, etc. The T55 does exactly what the Abrams does and it even has a better destroyed ratio!
No such thing as an obsolete tank.
T-55, T-62, T-34 all obsolete tanks.
@@viceralman8450 Depends what you use them for.
T-62 for example has smooth bore. It can snipe from distance with modern ammunition.
@@viceralman8450 Load HE shells into them, and they become IFVs so not really obsolete.
@@acdfg3 Congratulations you proved they are obsolete ad tank, MBTs.

Its the law of attrition,

War Thunder Players: we can show everyone how accurate the tanks are. Who wants to see engine specs on the T-14 tank with these *pulls out the classified documents*
“Upturned pyramids” is a term I didn’t expect to hear from a military commentator.
"Upturned pyramids"...you mean like concrete pylons or tank traps? The guy's a donut.
How come we don't see M1 Abrams protecting Kharkiv from inferior Russian war machines?
Because Ukraine would need upgraded M1A2s not the obselete M1A1 models currently în their stock
@@global.citizensIt's not about the model it's about the numbers they can't afford to lose them while Russia can
@@XMfranchiseStudios True, but the russian supporters keep bragging they defeated the Abrams which is laughable
@@global.citizensAny abram version that will be sent to ukraine will meet the same Fate, is there any difference between lwopard tanks and abram tanks?leopard tanks was also the best german tank, and just no chance from lancet drones, even if you send any version of Abram tank its still a tank, $500 drone is enough with the US so called “game changers”
@@vladimirprotein1275 100 or 150 tanks are no game changers
If Ukraine had enough resources, it wouldn't had allowed any inf to infiltrate near the tanks
Well, an obselete Bradley Infantry Fighting machine took out a modern russian T-90
I wouldn't trust this guy to tell the truth. His rhetoric shows me that he doesn't have a clue on the present turn of events.
That first line is very dumb. Tanks struggled in WW1, WW2, today and in the future. The real apex is artillery
Russian T90 is the same price as Abrams? Really? ГЫЫЫЫ!!!
Expensive paint job.
'The tank is the apex predator' LOL Not any more. How many tank kills are from tank-on-tank fights? Seems that most tank kills are from drones, IFV or just infantry. Tanks are incredibly vulnerable today.
How many tanks have been destroyed compared to how many infantry, IFV or drones?
People have called tanks obsolete for over 100 years.
That in itself is starting to evolve.
Tanks will always be there.
Look now the Russians make their tanks look like turtles
Still tank is the only option in ground attack because the alternative is infantry charging the front
Tanks have always been vulnerable. Shoulder-fired antitank weapons were taking them out in WW2. Aircraft have been taking them out since WWII. Artillery will always be taking them out. It isn't some new thing.
Russian tanks are definitely vulnerable.
Poper use of combined arms is what makes tanks effective, rather than cope cages and tanks with houses lol.
This dude is a navy expert, makes sense
Comments of a man who's been in an easy wars before and explains it from his perspective. Yet another example of disconnect and drawing wrong conclusions. Good prospect of becoming "behind the desk" commander.
For the last time: the auto loader is not a design flaw. Its a tradeoff. The soviet style tanks are all smaller, and don't need a loader. Yes, there are bustle auto loaders but there is a reason why they are so rare. The Russians are using the same reliable auto loader design since the 70s. Also, both the Leo 2 and the Challenger 2 have ammo stowages in the hull that, if hit, result in the same "jack in the box" effect as we have seen evidence of that in Ukraine. So much for MUH DESIGN FLAW. Abrams is the only tank that is truly immune to catastrophic ammo cook-offs but even the Abrams has a problem with the ammo burning through the bottom of the bustle rack and ruining the engine deck.
Also I shouldn't have clicked on the video. I already knew what was coming when I saw the T80 on the thumbnail (because of the rear exhaust) and saw it being labeled as a T90. I am just disappointed that I was right...
Also we've seen Leopard 2 and Challenger 2 with popped turrets in ukraine. But MSM will never talk about this
Russians as more of simple, easy to repair vehicles, easy to replace and they more prepared to long term attrition….
Nope . They just have thousands of reserve tanks. 2 more years and Russia will have zero tanks.
@@paulmitchell5349 you said it thousands, while many being produced as we speak 😅🤣
@@paulmitchell5349 That's exactly what they said two years ago. Russia has absolutely every resource it requires within its own borders. A country with vast natural resources shouldn't be underestimated. What they don't have, they can get from someone else. They're really not as obsolete as you'd think they are.
You just made that up. Why?
They have an automatic loader, that's anything but simple.
I'd like to hear what Col. Douglas McGregor has to say about this.
he probably would say nothing, this guy is a first class idiot, i dont think Col. would lower himself to this imbeciles level by entering into any discussion
In actuality the airbourne attacks are the most threatening and hard to prevent and take down or defend against.

Not even a close fight. Because one side made their tank 50 times more expensive, so any ratio of exchange less than 50 to 1 is an absolute loss.
If a russian tank costs 3 million USD, you assume an American tank costs 150 million? Are you serious?
@@global.citizens Exactly, buddy. Shocking isn't it? Who can imagine what would have gone wrong with giving ammunition productions to private, secretive and largely unregulated companies while simultaneously making those companies sole monopolies shall have horrible consequences?
@@markarmage3776 who would ever think ... the oligarchs who want to keep the control of their influence zone against the globalists who litterly try to own the world monopoly in everything to enslave us completly.
@@global.citizensI believe the point of an exaggeration was simply to point out the issue
It closer to 1:2. Little bit more, like 1: 2.2. Exchange ratio is 1. So Russian tanks win.
12:32 - "This side off"?
re sending 35 M1 Abrams costing $200 million. Thats about the same cost as a single Russian oligarchs super yacht.
What kind of gas it required to run to get to 200M USD? Even Starship fuel is not that expensive
You do know that packing and unpacking those tanks cost money right? You cant just drove them on the road all the way from NATO country to Ukraine.
They most likely pack them on a train. Not sure if the cost is $200m but it will still be expensives considering u also need to send the spareparts and ammo for the tanks
@@descartes2404 bit over priced for something that will burn very quickly as much as any other tank
@@happychappy492at least 80% of them then are still in service. Dont forget that there is no guarantee that all the abrams destroyed by russia is real. Last year russia claims that it destroyed over 40 himars, but only 16 real ones were sent, the rest are decoys made in czechia😂!
@@happychappy492then why russia lost 3 times as many tanks?
Both tanks are designed according to doctrine of the militaries they serve. M1 is designed for short blitzkrieg-type operations within a volunteer force. Russian tanks are the opposite- they're designed for attrition battles within a conscript army, thus its low maintenance cost and ease of manufacture, with a very low emphasis on crew survivability
The USA (and west in general) NEED mobility warfare. They just can't do attrition warfare. Russia is the opposite.
If the West got into an attrition war it'd last about a year before their governments collapsed.
I really wonder how someone who knows so little about a subject gets a job as an "expert". The number of false statements he makes in the 10 minutes I watched reminded me of those people who read one wikipedia entry and all of a sudden became immunology experts during covid... little did I know, in just a couple of years, they'd turn into foreign policy and politics scholars! 😩😩
I believe it all comes down to how you use
Basically Russia has kicked natos and especially the yanks arses
🤣
OK. The 3 day war of conquest into Ukraine is now well into its third year. Brillliant stuff, Russia. Well done. NATO forces involvement? You know, the ones whos arses you have, supposedly, kicked? Zero, zilch, nada, nix, bugger all, feck all, nowt...
Obviously, all of Europe is already conquered by Putler, we are not allowed to talk about it tho so ima delete my account now.
How did you come to that conclusion? Russia can barely project power right outside their own border. The war in Ukraine has showed that Russian logistics fails in comparison to the US.
@@justinc6962 Why u think so? In 1st year of war may be, but today?
T-54/55 and T-62 are used for indirect fire. They have indirect fire sight. Those sights weren't great even back in the day those tanks were new, but they have them. And Russians have massive amount of shells for them, so why not use them? Lack of accuracy is complemented by drones that are used for fire correction. That still makes them useful. Besides, any tank if hit by modern ATGMs or drones will go down, regardless how modern or not the tank is.
As for famous carousel and "jack in the box" where turrets pop up, it turned out that almost never are those caused by the ammo in the carousel being directly hit. Usually it is the additional ammo being stored all over the tank being hit that ignites, cooks off (at which point it makes no difference to the crew whether the carousel ammo will also get cooked off; they're done for any way) and then it reaches the carousel and you have those explosion. Both Russian and Ukrainian tank crews started going into battle with ammo in the carousel only (22 rounds) and with 0 additional ammo in tank hull and turret. And what do you know... The images of popped up turrets are now pretty rare, as opposed to the start of the confrontation...
T-62 uses modern ammo. Smooth bore...
Drones are killing them in mass.
The 50 cent army going hard in the comments lol. Maybe you should consider moderating the ones that are obviously bots out
Wait "Russia is sacrificing troops and tanks to achieve battlefield victories"?? You don't say. It's almost like this is like basic warfare. What else would they be used for?
He's saying that russia needlessly makes these sacrifices more than others because they are inhuman monsters.
It's nonsense.
@svensvensson2724 No, its because Russia is very well known for just throwing soldier after soldier at their problems. They have done it every war for the past 100+ years. They win with numbers, little else, and they stick with what tbey know.
@@fatsquirrel75 That's well known propaganda. Not truth.
@@svensvensson2724 The Russian knows nothing but to fight because it's in their blood, right? And terrorize all the surrounding states around. Every country around Russia has a negative opinion of Russians and for a reason because they know what a Russian is. Ripped off, impoverished, deceived, silenced but with a gun in hand. And Ukraine or Zelenskyy are not to blame for this, but primarily the Russians and Putin's propaganda. Russia is simply a warmonger

4:54 I don't think it is correct to talk about a design flaw here but rather a conscious design decision to compromise crew safety on a doctrinal and strategic level. Soviet doctrine factored military resources including crew and associated cost into a balance sheet and a T72 was expected to perform so and so long and then written off, including it's crew. These losses of human life were a downside the design willingly chose to make in order to increase produceabillity and firepower. This should be stated because it sheds a light on the fact that the soviet and russian doctrine operates with a completely different moral objective compared to western armies where crew safety and low casulty numbers are priority. In Russia the loss of the crew is fractured into the production plan the moment the tank leaves the factory in the hope it will cause enough damage to make the calculation worth it.
thank you so much
he mentioned and listed russia loses 5 times but not once for ukranians. how didnt Ukraine won by now they dont lose any people or vehicles?
The video is delusional as the reality is opposite what they say in terms of losses.
