Yea dude and nukes are just high tech canon balls

@@J.Qu1ncy you ever realize the cannons on battleships are also “cannons” it has just been cannon this entire time.

Well check our new electric-magnet arrow.

@@nickkozak4763 Is that canon? (As in pertaining to the lore of the canons?)

That’s what I said

Youll go fucking ballistic once you realise what a tank flechette round is

@@LeMeowAu what about the can round. A giant shotgun

@@apricotcharms4126 well thats more akin to a bunch of musket balls, a flechette one is basically a arrow shotgun

@@shelldie8523 well... said arrow is technically the most effective at killing tanks tho. 😏

High tech arrow.. and also electromagnetic railguns, guided smart munition and the splitting of the atom, but those are just smaller advancements right?

@@ab3ki84hayate railguns are just cooler electric arrows, guided munitions are big brain arrows and the atom bombs are just big arrow that go boom

​@@LazuliteLolWar... war never changes.

No its a hard T like the K in knife

I guess they used both iterations so they would only be partially incorrect.

​@@anormalratdon't remember bo being spelt with a T

Fun fact would be that the "bo" part comes from "bois" which means wood. Sabots were literally wooden shoes. During the industrial revolution workers used to stick the shoes in the gears of the machine that took their jobs->a so called sabotage.

the T in apfsds-t is means tracer

Except every single thing that he talks about is completely wrong. There's no explosives it's depleted uranium it burns its way through because it's going so goddamn fast. It doesn't blow up it doesn't do anything except burn a hole through it

modern warfare accent

Listen up marine....

The narrator sure is putting a lot of emphasis at the beginning of a few of those words towards the end of this clip. It’s subliminal if you don’t notice it. If you notice, good job using the ears you were given. 👂 Let them hear.

War thunder

It is, you are correct... but that round is also a Sabot, a break away cog with a dart, just going 7km/s... so the footage is still relevant.

100%FACTS!😂👍👍👍

I was about to comment that

@@TheThunder005 idk I feel like it’s cheating

​@lt.kf51 Where does the propellant casing go after firing the round on a tank?

Kinda like you'd pronounce say bow

Kind of makes sense. You know, because it's French.

Funny thing is it had both pronunciations in the narration.

As french, i confirm that the "t" is silent. Plus, we usually call the shell "obus flèche". Arrow shell.

​@@akiracrow6223 Bonne démonstration! Très puissant!

Yeah, didn't even mention that it's not the whole "arrow" that's made of tungsten or uranium, but a penetrator inside. Also, "*usually* long and thin"? As opposed to what? A wide and short round? And I'm 99% sure that they don't actually deform and fragment, but shave off.

​@@TheByQQ It depends. Depleted uranium penetrators break up at the tips in a way that's considered "self-sharpening", the flakes and particles of DU also burn intensely to add a secondary incendiary effect upon penetration. Tungsten penetrators on the other hand tend to mushroom at the tips as they go through armour.

​@@TheByQQold apds had a penetrating core, apfsds is almost entirely made of penetrator material. The only part that isnt made of the high density metal is the point and the fins.

@@gavinlightfoot5521 this is wrong

Well, you can check out humanity's new electric arrow. I don't know why they keep calling it magnetic railgun.

More like the evolution of throwing rocks at things

All of these shts just because humans were able to throw things faster than other animals. And those NPCs thinks we're triumphed in food chain only because of our brains.

Why say something so brave yet so true... I mean basically all weapons derived from just throwing stuff at others.

Challenger 2 moment

I was on the M1IP and M1A back in the 90's. While the M1A1 does use the German 120mm smoothbore main gun, the M1IP used the British/US hybrid M68A1 105mm rifled main gun and we most certainly fired sabots with great effectiveness. The brits had been using a variant of this system with sabot rounds since the 50's.

Why? Its normal

@@raffaele8088 most modern guns are smooth bored, so no it's not "normal" for the gun to be rifled anymore.

@@cat_clan_leader didnt know that, thx

This channel always says that the APFSDS is the next level ammunition for every tank platform.

@@Alec-jo7ic sabot existed since the late 50s its nothing new even the poorest countrys (that have tanks) use them

Tube? Like Teletubbies? What tube? Exhaust?

​@@voornaam3191 The barrel of the tank's gun

a tube? you mean the gun. thats like saying your being held at tube-point

Very Cool, Thanks Dr. Science!

Whats a waving machine?

@nicholasmuro1742 what's a waving machine? It is a mechanical weaving loom that was powered by a steam engine in the beginning. The weaver lost work and income. Then they sabotage the machines.

That’s where the word ‘sabotage’ came from

Ukraine 🇺🇦 needs against aggressor ❤

@@arek3866 There are many countries with that problem,but none care about them...

Yeah and ninety-nine percent of it is incorrect of course. There's no explosives in those shells they're not made of tungsten they don't fracture as they go through they don't blow up with a cone-shaped explosion. They're made from depleted uranium which is spent nuclear fuel and it's four times heavier than tungsten, the reason for the sabo is to get super high velocity no other reason. And when depleted uranium hits the air it starts blaming when it hits armor it melts a hole through the tank. Nothing blows up nothing fragments from the arrow. What kills the men inside the tank is the f****** s*** of molten metal spraying all over everyone. And this is how a tungsten shell works I'm not talking about any other kind before somebody brings up world War II solid steel shot or something stupid like that.

​@@arek3866Ukraine Is just another Palestinie

@@jeremymackevincaylor5041 So much bs in a single comment. Well done.

Look at the moment where he explains sabot, the animation in the background shows a rifled barrel, that cant be apfsds, anyone with a little bit of understanding this matter will know that an APFSDS is fired out of a smooth gun because the rifiling itruduces tooo much friction. Later he says that "it has fins at the back for flight stability" wich is correct, so i dont get why he showd us a rifled barrel. Probably a short done by someone who is doing low budged shorts on topics that are esnured to get views... well it works

​@@pro3ificationthe British Challenger 2 MBT has a rifled gun but still uses APFSDS. The footage may have been in relation to that. The rifling is for it's HESH shells They plan on retiring their rifled guns though

The rail gun "fires" APFSDS rounds. The sabot is there to catch the electromagnetic charge, instead of the chemical propellant, but the concept is almost identical, little uranium spear = hard to throw, so wrap it in something while accelerating, fins for accuracy after. 🤷‍♂️

@@pro3ification APFSDS can be fired from a rifled barrel, that's what was done originally. But then they discovered that it's performance suffers greatly compared to a smooth barrel.

it is a APFSDS as others have said, but electromagnetically charged and fired instead...

@@LukeEdward1 Need a hand up from the gutter :P 🫴 although since im allready there itll probably have to be a boost.

Trying to figure out why your hearing subliminal messages where they definitely shouldn’t be? The narrators tone changes right after that bit, to more heavily emphasize the beginnings of… particular words.

That depends on the material. The Depleted Uranium alloys is unlike anything Tungsten alloys can do. The DU sabots actually self-sharpens as pieces break off upon penetration, and hitting additional layers/materials (especially the new US segmented DU sabot round). *Against armour at/near its penetration limit,* the DU sabot works more like the cutting action of a HEAT warhead. Rather than on pure kinetic energy overmatch capability, like old school AP and the new Explosively Formed Penetrators.

It is literally called "armor piercing"

HESH was mostly used by British tanks, others used HEAT

@TheByQQ HESH was designed by the Brittish during WWII. During that time the US used solid shot and HEAT. The US used HESH during the cold War and is still used by the US for the destruction of structures by the Abrams. For AP applications, the APFSDS is used. The Brittish use a rifled tank bore, so they can't use APFSDS. Instead, they stick to HESH primarily.

*Microsoft tom.wants the upvotes* just dislike komrads da

There's 2 ways of pronouncing it just depends on what accent you use just like aluminum

It should be like "say bow", yeah?

​@@C0ttageChees correct

@@hekmatyar4476 Not quite, aluminum is also spelled aluminium in England and that is why they pronounce it with the nium and the US pronounce it num.

You pronounce "know" as "no" and the Word is not french...

it's pronounced sabow no matter where you are from you idiot@@TickLover1

The sabot is not recovered, they likely are ruined once they detach and hit the ground.

My brother in christ, the rounds get obliterated alongside the armor, watch xyz simulations or smthing

Bruh it will disintegrate on penetration or hit

​@@LeMeowAu bruh the gunner can miss

To the people thinking the sabot is the arrow, it's not. The sabot holds the arrow in place until at the end of the gunbarrel

I think depleted uranium does that

You either pronounce it the french way or you can just not bother and pronounce it with the t. "Say-bow" is bs.

no it isnt lmao

I mean...a rod of depleted uranium busting into the crew compartment of a tank and then heating the air inside to over 6000 F does tend to work against the good function of the other tank.

Sa-bo

If guns have picatinny rails, does that make them a rail gun 🤔

@@jellylightningii5959 of course 🫡

sabots on all round are made from steel

No... How do these stupid myths get around?

@@AllisterCaine It's not a myth my information comes from a Full Commander of the Spetzknot's Paratrooper Corps who was able to witness this exact thing happen both in there Afghanistan war and in their modern war with Russia!!! 🤠👍

​@@worldtraveler930 I've read many many many research papers on how sabot rounds affect their target and pressure is never even mentioned as an effect. Your "full commander" is spouting bullshit.

I'll tell you what take your research papers and your Happy Ass to Kyiv or anywhere else in the Ukraine or they're fighting the Russians and get some First Hand Observation Before You Yourself start Spouting Bullshit!!! 💩😠🖕 P.s. Merry Christmas 🎄🤠👍🇺🇦

We used the depleted uranium rounds when I was part of Abrams tank battalion in the Army. These types of round are effective against thick armor even with reactive blast plate on exterior. The uranium did a much better job of "self sharpening" compared to tungsten as it drilled into thick armor spraying the interior with molten radioactive metal into the crew compartment from a range of 2-4 miles away.

Ummm I dont think thats how it works ? DU is a very dense metal, which is why its both used as protection plates/armor and for ammunition, since it can store a lot of energy. DU is also self-sharpening (not literally but it maintains a sharp-like pointed end unlike other metals) which helps penetrating the armor, it also tends to break into shrapnel more than other metals too iirc.

That's a silly myth.

USA have depleted uranium rounds because it can "self sharpen" for increased armor penetration compared to tungsten rounds. EU NATO tank can have have larger/stronger main guns; but, USA Abrams uses a more deadly round that needs less power to kill at the same or higher rate. USA doesn't care about radioactive ground/water poisoning since all round fired are going to be on foreign soil.

The USA depleted uranium round is self sharpening and it turn molten at contact spraying the interior with debris and white hot metal. Depending on target, the round can sometimes travel out the other end because it is so effective. Similar to getting hit with 12.7mm/.50 cal round in the chest. No need for HEAT.
