Kudos that the Tank Museum uses real combat footage despite youtubes guidlines.
-
It never ceases to amaze me that in the year2023, General Mud still commands the battlefield.
-
Problem is that they are armoured for other tanks but only 5 % of losses are to other tanks. Plunging artillery, drones & ATGM (possibly after being immobilised via mines) seem to be the main threat.
-
You can either advance quickly through minefields and defences or minimise losses. Not both.
-
Calling that Challenger damaged, is like calling the Ukrainian offensive a success.
-
‘severely damaged’ that a euphemism for being blown to bits? edit to add the Challenger 2 is indestructable we all have to agree
-
Artillery, still King of Battle
-
Love the fact you could buy the 1 to 35 model of the Ukrainian M1A1 before they actually got there
-
Quite nice to see the gentleman do these kind of analysis as well. Really hope to see more of this.
-
I like how "a British challenger 2 has been reported as severely damaged" was being said while the background scene shown a blacked out smoking wreck with dislodged turret of that tank. Love British humour.
-
This war is fascinating in how technology has almost unknowingly shifted warfare. $1000 drones wiping out whole squads with hand grenades. FPV drones flying into open tank hatches killing the crew.
-
The Americans might have the most gear, but nobody beats the Brits at calm level-headed commentary. Thanks to the Tank Museum. It's refreshing.
-
Also, the carrusel discussion that we see time and again becomes moot when you realize that both the Challenger and Leopard 2 both stow ammunition in the hull. Only the M1 Abrams has the full compliment of ammunition stored in a separated compartment with blow-out pannels.
-
Thank you for this more detailed update. The news reports very generalized current events.
-
With the Russian attack choppers, they did move to pretty much exclusively lobbing rockets, but more recently there is a bit of footage of them using atgw from max range to engage vehicles trapped in lanes through minefields and whatnot. Seems that they have found their niche on the defensive.
-
Imagine the amazement of our WWI and WWII forefathers if they learned we can guide artillery rounds directly into a specific target (tank, machine gun nest, bridge, etc).
-
The drone/artillery relationship has seemed to be the biggest threat by any side so far. Super cheap and replaceable, swarm tactics. It's quite terrifying.
-
Imagine you are being sent in Robotyne area now, chances to survive around 20%. RIP
-
dont forget the FAB500 and now 1500kg warhead model gliderkit bombs
-
You know, as we here say it: if you think the offensive is too slow - you can always come here and show yourself how it should be done!
