Thankyou to our Vietnam Viewers, We are pleased to announce this as the First Vietcong /NVA armored restoration. Stay Tuned for more in depth on this tank.
Restoration Passion Don't believe too much about the Vietnamese regime before and now, if it weren't for the Soviet Union and the countries of the socialist bloc, Vietnam wouldn't have defeated your America. Don't
Joy would only be one word we may use to describe! This tank has already once been fully restored during the 90s and sadly left to die under bad circumstances. It was in extremely rough shape when we got it. Stay tuned for its ''In depth Walkaround and live fire power'' video to come soon.
Thankyou SO much T55! We try to go for meaningful work, bringing back history should be valued and we do our best to educate. Stay tuned for much more in depth footage on PT76 as it nears its completion. We value our loyal viewers.
The drivers station is surprisingly comfortable. This tank has a lot of room inside. This is attributed to its large surface area to gain buoyancy during floatation. Stay tuned for more in depth video and live fire presentation.
Thankyou Very much! It represents an NVA tank which was handed off to Vietcong during the war. Stay tuned for her live fire display and in depth history video.
Awesome machine, amphibious tanks have always been very interesting to me since by nature they have to make a lot of design sacrifices to make sure they don't become improvised submarines.
During your restoration, did you notice if the PT-76 had any "waterproofing" features that aren't present on normal tanks? I've always wondered if they had extra sealing mechanisms around hatches and inside the turret ring to prevent water intrusion.
It goes something along these lines: ''Victory belongs to the people of North Vietnam.'' The other side with Ho "Ho Chi Minh is in the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people.''
On the contrary, This tank in particular is not a true tank. Only the turret would be even considered ''minor'' armor. This vehicle holds its size due to large surface area to maintain buoyancy during amphibious operation. The concept of Pt76 was simply to move an artillery piece over water and rivers without the added logistics of bridge laying equipment. The NVA attempted to use this as a tank in Vietnam against a Special Forces base, due to the fact that this vehicle has almost no amour, the US anti tank weapons were mostly going right through them. There is 1 account of a PT76 absorbing a dozen or so 66mm Anti Tank LAW rockets, causing no real effect to the tank.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany pt76 is great tank for Vietnam terrain can cross most river and soft ground , the battle you mention must be lang vay battle where the south Vietnam , lao and american spec op was defeat hugely thanks to the pt76 tank
No one knows where this Pt76 came from. Our best guess was it was used in Syria and captured by Israel however that information is long lost. It does have small arms damage on it. To our knowledge, outside Vietnam there are no known captured Vietnamese armour in private hands.
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany so it must be inspired by VNPA's PT-76, the text and flag really show the spirit of Uncle Hồ's soldiers. Thanks a lot for your information and a quality video.
As always we are growing. Vietnam Era M48A3 on the Horizon. Bastard is ready and awaiting its test fire. We are trying to find a firing block for the breech then it will be ready. We also recently acquired a beautiful WW2 T34 which will go live. Stay tuned.
This is the first armor restoration done privately in the US to represent Vietcong/ NVA forces in the museum industry. Stay tuned to see this tank shoot live rounds once again.
Good detail! Yes the original exhaust and cooling system was completely rusted beyond repair. We had to redesign everything just to make it functional. Finding replacement PT76 components is very difficult. They did not make many of them compared to BMP or T55 series
The legendary Pippa of Indian army. It won us the 1971 India Pakistan war. You are doing a great job.
Thankyou for the kind words.
Nicely done guys. Can't wait to see more. Once again fantastic work
Thankyou dead eye. We value our loyal viewers who enjoy all of our work. Stay tuned to see this tank shoot live rounds soon!
From VietNam with love!!

What a beauty. Must be quite a joy to get something like this back up and running after being almost ripe for the scrap heap.

Indian Army used this beast during the 1965 and 1971 wars! A truly great tank!
From India 🇮🇳
I believe they are Soviet in origin.

Thật tuyệt vời. Tôi yêu các bạn

Splendid video, waiting for more.
Thankyou for watching and supporting the channel!
On the tank, I looked at this sentence: "thắng lợi nhất định về ta" This sentence was said by Ho Chi Minh
Looks great and a hell of a lot of fun to drive!
Yes This tank definitely surprised us with its mobility. Very Fun.
Much Appreciate The Beautiful Work You Guys Do, Please Keep At It
Thankyou for the kind words. Stay tuned for an in depth video on this tank along with its live fire footage.
This channel is the definition of quality over quantity

That thing scoots pretty good, nice work y'all!
Thanks! Its actually really fun to drive....like surprisingly fun to drive
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany Hahaha awesome! I've got to make my way out there sometime sooner than later.
How's the driver's station in that? The pedals being on the lower glacis makes it seem like your posture would be pretty miserable.

She's a beauty! Are those NVA colors?

Great questions! We still need to do our In Depth Video for this vehicle where we will cover all of that!
Interesting how the vehicle shares much of its design with bmps.. Bmds
Some similar items yes.
Does anyone know what the vietnamese on the side of the pt76 means?
It goes something along these lines: ''Victory belongs to the people of North Vietnam.'' The other side with Ho "Ho Chi Minh is in the hearts and minds of the Vietnamese people.''
@@MilitaryArmamentsCompany thanks
what a beuty
Thankyou for watching!
Another cool Russian death trap...... I love it. Can't wait to see it hauling out in the desert .

So this thing basically uses half of the Kharkiv model V-2?
Kinda of yes. Some of the parts are interchangeable
Is it a captured vehicle, or just inspired by the VNPA tanks?

Fantastic. Watch out for Ukrainian tractors though. I heard they like to tow those off.
Thankyou M35. Tanks need their infantry support to keep tractors at bay.
acquired any more tanks lately?
hows the Bast****! T-55 lately? no issues?
They got one of their 6 leopards firing the main gun, hopefully with another ready later this year
@@ChevTecGroup, that's really awesome!!!

amphibious tanks of the Vietnamese Liberation Army
This one is in Viet Cong Scheme.
This tank from vn war , i know this because i’m from vn
Переделан выхлоп через водометы. А эжектор демонтирован. Плавать на таком переоборудованном танке нельзя. Только по земле передвигаться.
