I served in this conflict and one of the scariest technology that does not get much of a conversation is the ability for attack, helicopters and tanks to communicate and send targeting information to the tank. The Bradleys good also send targeting information to attack. We’re a tank doesn’t even need to see what are you shooting at that is incredibly effective and suicidal to go up against.

I can tell you that the Abrams armor composition looks like a massive spiderweb on top of many other spider webs from the inside of the armor. I heard that from a tanker when I was in the Army.

I do believe the Americans use the chobham armour used in the Challenger II, as they saw how effective it was at defending against RPG and tank fire during the Iraq war. I dare say the US has probably expanded on the chobham armour so kindly shared from the UK army. From what I know a challenger 2 was hit with more than 70 rpg’s and one Milan ATG and survived, it was towed back to camp and back up and in service within a day, hence why I think the US military wanted to use this armour so much. US & UK brothers in arms ❤.

50:15 i realize it's probably next to impossible to get all the details right about everything in a 3 hour video, especially when you consider different ways of explaining/ presenting information, but a sabot round uses that needle like projectile, not to break into pieces as you described, but to actually put so much energy into such a small space that it actually vaporizes the needle, turning it into plasma which is so hot it literally just bores through metal, gaps, ERA like it's not even there and continues on its way, until (and this part is a guess) it reaches the inside of the tank where it has enough space to diffuse and cool down to just plain old molten metal. Yea, very nasty stuff indeed.

The chobbom armour was a British invention that the British tanks have been using for years and Britain only gave the Americans the armour design not that long ago it makes me laugh that every American seems to think that they invented it the armour design is ahead of its time and it will be used for many years to come

Nobody said that the Americans did invent it. The video said that the M1 was the first deployed tank to use it, which is absolutely correct. Our Challenger 1 wasn't in service until '83, three years after the M1 went into service and deployed to places like West Germany during the Cold War for NATO exercises. Prior to Chally 1 coming on stream though, we were still rolling around in Chieftains with their Stillbrew armour. I don't know what your definition of 'not that long ago' is either, but the Americans were enquiring and evaluating Chobham from us as far back as the 1960's. We don't operate Challenger 1 with its Chobham armour anymore and Chally 2 uses Dorchester armour for its hull, which, whilst an upgraded second generation variant of Chobham, is different enough to be considered its own thing. Even that will be dropped for Chally 3 in about three or four years though, which is going to use a brand new modular armour system, comprised of Epsom external armour and Farnham hull 'inner' armour. The M1 with Chobham will be around for a while yet, but it's a couple of generations behind the latest compositions and getting pretty long in the tooth now.

​@Pieces93 The M1 was in active service by 1980 and as stated, deployed to West Germany not long after. Challenger 1 didn't come into service until 1983. Chobham was intended for FV4601, but that project was delayed and subsequently scrapped in favour of Challenger.​ The M1A1 and M1A2 variants of the Abrams did indeed come after the M1, but the M1 was still built on the Chobham (or Burlington, as it was coded in the US) composite hull armour scheme, was still in service 3 years before Challenger and was still deployed into active service with the NATO combined forces in Europe whilst Challenger was still being developed, built and tested. No hard feelings taken, seeing as I'm British too.

If we are talking M1 Abraham vs Legion, remember the Legions did actually face off against the “tank” of the ancient world, elephants. They did it both under our favourite megalomaniac, Julius Caesar and earlier under Scipio Africanous Julius faced off against Pompey the Great, in the civil war, who was supposed by Juba of the Numidians, a North African kingdom that possibly is either in modern day Algeria or Morocco, location unknown. From Caesar’s own account of the battle of Thapsus, modern day Tunisia, 60 war elephants participated, while a few of them were killed, most of them were scared off, as a fair few of them were recently captured and not yet fully trained under Numidian control I highly doubt a bunch of guys with spears and short swords can “scare” off an Abrahams. I figure a well trained American crew would be more fascinated than scared of them. Scipio’s encounter with elephants is less well documented- he didn’t have a habit of bringing his nephew with him who was a good historian (the nephew I’m referring to is the man who would become Augustus, Octavius) Also one of the legions biggest problems is that they’re not very good at adapting quickly, see also Hannibal Barca’s rampage for 6 years before they started adapting to his tactics, or when they straight up walked head first into an ambush despite knowing it was there in Germany

The thing that bugs me about this is when he said the Sherman had a good if not great gun when in reality they got outgunned almost the entire war. The 75mm gun they used was a short barrel and hardly penetrated German tanks or armor. When they say in movies they have to hit the back of the German tanks to knock them out they truly meant that most the time. It wasn’t until the longer barrel Sherman’s came out that they had a true cannon worth bragging about. Other than that great video!

The 75mm gun of the sherman was good for its purposes. It's purpose was not to engage enemy heavy tanks but its targets are bunkers and infantry which it did its job very well. 75 mm guns of the sherman has a very potent HE rounds compared to the long barelled one (76mm) so it's more effective in engaging infantry and destroying bunkers

That's exactly what it is DEPLETED URANIUM what is it you find funny? It's not a bullet shaped round and has no explosives. It's a dart shaped missile packed inside a 2 pc. polymer sabot that comes out of the barrel over 4000 feet per second. The speed and kinetic energy alone produces something called spall (shrapnel) and pulverizes everyone in the tank. The depleted just means most of the radioactivity has been removed. He didn't explain that part very good. Uranium is harder than any steel. You can actually buy the deactivated darts from some of these catalogs or online. They say that they're safe but I'm not too sure.

The US used B-17 bombers to destroy German tanks. But very rarely and not without difficulty. Mainly the Normandy, Cobra breakout against German armored units. This was overkill but it was a vital attack against well prepared German positions. US WW2 tank destroyers actually had less armor than Sherman's. These Tiger killers used speed, mobility and firepower to hunt German tanks. Though successful the WW2 US tank destroyer concept was cancelled. Sherman tanks were well used against T-34 tanks in Korea. And Israeli Sherman's destroyed T-55 tanks in 1973. The Abrams is a multirole tank. And the AH-64 is now an excellent tank destroyer for support. The Bradley is also an excellent antitank system with guns, missiles and dismounted infantry anti-tank teams. But more vulnerable than the Abrams. And there are a number of other antitank options for the US. The Bradley and Apache have multirole capabilities. But anti tank capability was a designed capability from the start during the Cold War. WW2 US tank destroyers did take losses but were generally able to destroy more German tanks. They were intended to be rapidly deployed defensive units to stop German tank breakthroughs. But they usually ended up in a more offensive role as German units were in defense or retreat. This meant Sherman's usually had to attack prepared German positions and ambushes. Once ammo storage on Sherman tanks was improved the risk of fires was greatly reduced. Sherman tank loss and crew loss rates were far lower than T-34s. The Sherman's were war winning tanks. 4000 served in the USSR. It was far more reliable than poor quality WW2 T-34 tanks. After WW2 the quality of T-34s and there features were much better. They could all be fitted with radios. And better quality material and workmanship. Most WW2 T-34s were lost. About 44 000. Compared to 12 000 Sherman's lost in WW2. All Sherman tanks that saw combat had to be transported by trains and ships. So they had to fit into regular transport ships loaded by cranes. When it was designed they had no specialist tank landing ships. This limited its size and weight. The US lacked engines and gear boxes for an effective heavy tank. The Pershing was not reliable. And by the wars end the Pershing was a medium tank and not a heavy. Perishing's were retired long before Sherman's. Only a handful of Perishing's saw combat in WW2. And in Korea the Sherman's were often preferred. A great feature of the Sherman was its generous turret ring. This allowed increasingly larger guns. The very effective German 75mm Panther gun was developed by the French after WW2. The Israelis fitted the French 75mm guns to its Sherman's. As US guns were not available. And used well in 1973. So the Sherman deserves a better reputation. Research on US tank unit crew losses shows they were generally much lower than infantry casualties. Says Chieftain, War Thunder.. Champion of the Sherman.

You can always tell who gets their WW2 history from pop culture. The zippo lighter comment about Sherman’s wasn’t an issue unique to the Sherman. Early panzers and early Sherman’s both faced this issue until wet ammo storage became a thing. Not to mention, 85% of all German armor produced in the war were of the Pz I-IV variety which Sherman’s could handle. They only couldn’t handle the heavy German designs which isn’t a surprise considering that’s why the Germans designed them lol. Once wet ammo storage became a thing the Sherman had the highest crew survivability of any tank in the war. And was mechanical far more reliable than a Pz IV or T34

infographic forgot the British 17 pounder ATG Sherman and American 76.5mm ATG on the Easy 8 Sherman even the 75mm M4 Sherman killed Tiger and Panther Tanks, Michael Wittmann and his crew was likely killed by a Canadian 75mm Gun Sherman Tank.

Not to mention I believe they called them Ronsons, NOT zippos. At least I believe the Americans used that name. Unrelated but when I used to smoke my Ronson lighter was far more reliable than my zippo.

The Germans didn’t nickname the Sherman tank “zippos” because most Germans probably hadn’t ever seen a zippo lighter. Instead, they called the relatively easily destroyed Shermans “Ronsons”, which was the lighter brand they would’ve been familiar with and who’s motto was “one strike and it lights”. Not exactly a compliment. Why say “zippo” instead? Given the state of education in the US, I guess I can’t blame you 😆

"Button house"... That first building should be called a survival shack. What a misleading introduction. Without a shower, that isn't a house, it's nothing more than an extra backyard office/room for the rich who already have a real house and large property, like the second building. The idea of renting that out to anyone should be criminal. But these "houses" would be a nice luxury addition to a property admittedly.

@@MrChekaMan they might not even have many of those functioning, or at least not the numbers they boast. tritium decays and plays a hefty financial burden in the up keep of modern nuclear warheads. it's not a gamble to take lightly or "test", but it's not illogical to believe corruption has placed those funds "elsewhere" amongst Russian hands and that many amongst their ranks understand the united states has no interest in invading a heavily ideologically glued community that is subject to harsh winters and has heavy infrastructure already in place. little to farm and much debris to remove after a war. its iron, uranium, titanium, and natural gas are "valuable" resources. but not needed. it wouldn't be a war supported by the people unless provoked by essentially an invasion of NATO. the modern doctrine is to let the rat starve in the shed it inhabits and not provoke it by cornering it. many of the oligarchs and warlords see it, and lost hope generations ago, hence the greed and corruption to line one's own pockets. despite it being their own downfall. all Russia truly has possibly ready for combat is 80-90's spec equipment, maybe a couple hundred nukes declared non-threat due to modern defenses, and a sad bag of hopeless dreams. Putin wanted to join NATO when he first took power, little did he understand what that meant for our largest industry, deeming it impossible, as we have greed of our own and many, many customers who fear Russia.

Another thing is the Sherman had to face it turret to fire The Abbram can be 180 degree from its target and hit it. Also i didn't see it mentioned the speed of the Abbram. But i will say its higher then whats claimed. Ive had them pass me. When I was doing 75 mph. So im Going to guess from 80 to 90. It wasnt a lot faster then the M920 I was driving. But it was faster. I was surprised when i see it. Just glad the mud puppies never seen us. Never will foget the day i topped a ridge and seen the mud puppies ahead. I started slamming the geats down as i locked it up. And the jaks were screaming. I know them mud puppies heard and seen me at thier check point.
