The fact that 60 years ago isn't 1940's anymore hurts me on spiritual level 😅

The weird part about M42 Duster and similar vehicles like it's steroid sibling ZSU-57-2 is that VT fuzes were available for both 40mm and 57mm gun. At least from Bofors. So these SPAAGs could be modernized with those and radars similar the one included onto M163(and in case of Duster, there was even separate radar vehicle intended per battery, but none built) and would still be effective even today against drones or helicopters and definitely against infantry on top floors of apartment buildings😅 But nobody modernized them.

Do you have a video on hedgehog defense or on how radios and long range artillery changed the siege not only for attackers, but also for defenders, who can nowadays act as artillery spotters for their comrades?

@MaxwellAerialPhotography wait, they held for over a week? Which landing wave was that? 5th? 7th? Or was it when the ground forces arrived already that they "held"?:D

@МихаилОрлов-б8щ they also lay in ambush in their submersible equipment near Odessa to this day, ready to spring to action at any moment! I've heard they were even reinforced with several ships?

@tanksalot1180 not really. VT shell doesn't need any modifications to the gun, it's just loaded normally. Type 80 aka WZ305 doesn't have neither radar, nor optical rangefinder. Unlike soviet Object 520 prototype and finnish ZSU-57-2M prototype.

Ukraine had shown that ATGMs need to be used in complex to be effective. There the synergy was between NLAW(lightest and short ranged)/Javelin(mid range, still man portable)/Stuhna-P(massive 152mm duck off tube on a tripod for long range which doesn't require presence of operator near the launcher). Best combo available in the world right now is NLAW/Javelin/Spike. US doesn't operate 2 of those systems. Meaning that they don't have cheap short range system for when Javelin is an overkill and their long range relies on TOW-2+

First they announced that all tanks in inventory would be upgraded to Twardy standard and even additional tanks would be produced. That wasn't done. Then they bought CV90105 from swedes, added plastic(but hopefully the idea was to add MEXAS) to it, called it PL-01 and said that it would be produced in Poland. It wasn't done. Then they announced the big purchase of Leo2 updated to new polish classification. It wasn't done. And now we're here, talking about Abrams. I wonder how it'll end? Maybe first Poland needs to fix its government by removing corruption, senile "conservatives" and russian fanboys? Then I would happily watch them take any of the steps above. Or preferably all as they're not exactly contradicting.

 @greenspiraldragon Ukraine wasn't poking Kazakhstan so no idea what you're on about🤣

10 out of 10 soviet combatants killed in WWII died on eastern front. Some even from enemy hands during combat.

Ehm, why wouldn't you mix soviet doctrinal experiments into the same video? There isn't that much info to go around after all.

Basically Leopard 1 and T-72 rolled into one. The best part? It's finally better then its only real opponent - T-90.

@yixianli4651 check the engine. Or the way turret is constructed. Might as well look into ire control system. Basically everything that makes ZTZ99 better then russian tanks was made using western tank school approach... or outright western components like engine. Result? Real tank instead of parading one like russian T-14.

Мертвая Рука - выведенная из строя система передачи команды на запуск МБР на уровень командира установки/капитана корабля. Является аналогом "королевского письма". А, ну и как показала практика последних дней, поминание ядерного оружия приводит у тому, что министр иностранных дел КНР напоминает вам, что экономические партнеры, это нихрена не военные союзники, а пекинская биржа ценных бумаг приостанавливает для вас торги и задирает процент по кредитованию. Помогло?;)

@ДмитрийГородец39 пропаганда это когда кто-то считает, что на аналоговом железе был создан Скайнет, который сможет отправить терминаторов ко всем установкам, шахтам, подлодкам, надводным кораблям и аэродромам стратегического базирования, захватить командование, подготовить снаряжение и произвести удары. Вернее это уже диагноз. Мертвая Рука не более, чем обходной свич в процедуре запуска. Аналоговый вариант строки [Если нет сигнала из Кремля>Решение лежит полностью на командире/капитане самой установки]. Кстати да, я тоже искусственный интеллект, который говорит с тобой и охуевает от твоего тупизма. И сделан я из двух вакумных ламп и болта на коленке:\

 @kingslefthand one problem with your statement - your own selection bias on selecting not to mention lack of footage from russian armed forces as well😂
2
@kingslefthand are they using that tactics only ones? Haven't it existed for a century? Ukraine doesn't have drones, radios, binoculars? Apparently NATO is also blind? And surely all people against whom such tactics is used are afterwards stricken by that pen thing from MiB, right? Are you okay? How is your day doing?

Now "upscale" it to 203-210mm since Al Fao didn't work out. I mean come on, am I the only one that thinks that it and G6 already look too similar to be a coincidence?

Plus even chinese economy can't handle actual number of conscripts if they'd be removed from workforce for 2 years. Heck, no economy can.

@SparkHelium it won't replace either. M2 and M240 are NATO standard and have decedes worth of training, parts and ammo stockpiled for them. The new shiny toy that won't last 5 years has neither of that ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

@paxundpeace9970 while AT4 has some good utility warheads, it's also a swedish weapon, the one NLAW was specifically designed to replace. NLAW is in the same niche and provides top attack capability and limited guidance. And while AT4 again as mentioned can try to claim a spot in utility/universal launcher niche, that is already taken by Carl Gustaf. So idk what niche do you envision for it ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I like how you left "and" in as if there is any chance to see joint UN SC military intervention.

ah, so you place them as equal opponent to russian armed forces?:D

@johnnyjohn-johnson7738 "older millenials" are already becoming granparents. Did for some time. Millenilals are 1981-2000 ie Millenium. We make up majority of tax payers, parents, war veterans and depressed losers around the world;) Oldest millenials are 43 now. P.S.: Gen Z are 2001-2020 Gen X are 1961-1980 Baby Boomers are 1941-1960 And GG were 1921-1940. This is why I don't get all the hate towards 3 year olds that make up Gen A...

@lord125000 by your logic Greatest Generation would be post WWII kids and Baby Boomers would be born during Vietnam:D Generations AREN'T 12 or even 15 years, sorry.

 @westphalianstallion4293 considering how russian media is desperate to show their dozen parade T-14's every time they can, it sure does seem this way. It's okay, "any minute now" 😅
