think your right think its been used for target practice

Yes. Close in too😮

My thoughts too. Too many 'penetration' rounds. One penetrating round would have killed the crew putting it out of action. Why keep hitting it?. Plus one that definatley doesn't come from WWII, the 'melted' metal one.

💯 I was thinking the exact same thing. You don’t need a million penetrations before you move on to the next.

Target practice

5.06. Technically the titles right. One view through a shell hole...

Clickbait. Didn't expect it from this channel. UNSUBBED.

That sounds about right.

where exactly outside of Moscow ? Have visited Kubinka museum in 1995 and planning to visit Moscow again this year

Is that so they can send it to fight in the invasion? 😂

Вы правы , этот ,, Тигр " был с номером 231 под Ростовом в 1943 году.

Wasnt that tiger hit by anti tank rifles?

​@@uraigroves7898Стреляли из противотанковых ружей , а ему всё равно , гусеницы то не подбиты.

The record was about 240 hits in a 6 hour battle. The tiger still drove off the battlefield and the turret was used at the gunnery school

@@MsMungus Correct.

Or more accurately, Rust in peace .

No, thats how they used to destroy those tanks by 1945. 5 shermans on 1 tiger with high explosive shells would litterally break the welding and eventuall get through. Those were 75 mm holes. thats a sherman gun.

Is the standing Bear from Bayern?

Ukrainian SS division

510th (sPzAbt) Heavy Panzer Battalion

@@TheBrubaker2 thank you both!

Standing bear is 3rd Panzer division. Still surprised it was allotted any as most ended up in independent heavy tank battalions.

It's common for tankers to put an extra few shells into a tank to really make sure it's out the fight. However here, this was very clearly a test target after capture, was it intact or disabled before hand? Idk

Damn I was thinking the samething

It is.. you can tell by the unit marking on the front. The marking is scratched and damaged from exposure to the elements. Looks to be from unit s.Pz.Abt.510

If that's the case, then why are the gouges caused by shells filled with paint?

90mm paint ball gun

How are you going to get inside if the hatches are welded shut?

@@sandgrownun66 Hey, I didn't write the title !!

@@sarge6870 It looks like this is all you're gonna get.

Saumur's german WW2 tanks are all inside the museum, there was a Panther used by french army after WW2 outside but within the museum's perimeter not visible from a motorway, I think it is beeing restored. The only tank visible from a road and displayed outside is the Vimoutier's Tiger that is rotting since 80 years at the entrance of that small city in Normandy. It's been placed in 1974 a few meters away from the location where it was abandonned by it's crew during the retreat in august 44 and then pushed in a ditch to clear the road.

No sympathy for the Soviet tanks to be restored ...lol

This one is beyond restoration, at least it's been put into display and was not sent off to the scrap yard.

@@stevenphillips3466 no matter what tank it is, history is history

I think you mean 301 that was used in the movie Fury.

131*​@@user-xh3lz9xt4l

@@user-xh3lz9xt4l I think you mean Tiger 131 from the Bovington Tank Museum. I saw it up close back in 2002 when the museum was very quiet. When standing in front, it looks way bigger than it does on camera - it's a monster.

The king tiger also at boving

u are wrong ,tiger 001 is in running condition u just do not have enough money.

Yeah? I'm building an exact replica of the Mighty Bismarck but differs only from the original in that it has caterpillar treads rather than only a rudder. Thus, it is amphibious and way more versatile and bigger than this Tiger! Stay tuned for photos!

@@Stuff8080 my kit is a brand called Mirage. 1995 made in Poland. the instructions are very limited. It is a simple design but there are some difficult techniques to building this one properly!

Schwere Panzerabteilung 510 (510th Heavy Panzer Battalion)

Shermans didn't have much armor so it had to be frightening as hell. A lot of them would catch fire on the first hit and the tank would be engulfed in flames. They called them Ronson Lighters, cause they always lit on the first try. Ronson was a very popular cigarette lighter at the time.

@melvinbennett444 yeah I've listened to the accounts of the guys that used to clean those things up and try to get them back in the field they said it was just grotesque the cleaning up the body parts and the blood, repainting over all that mess. I've seen the videos where they're climbing out of the burning Sherman tanks, you know I'm guessing some of them might not have lived very long, but the last few hours or days were probably pretty miserable. With all the resources we had in America, I'll never understand why we didn't have a little better of a tank or diesel engines or something.

@@jerrydonquixote5927 Well they had utter disregard for the soldiers. If you watch the opening scene of the movie 'Patton'....when describing the losses at Kasserine Pass.....the last thing mentioned, after belt buckles, socks......are the human casualties.

@melvinbennett444 it's sad for all the capabilities we had in America to put men in in such a tank. They said as far as being reliable and anti-personnel they were great but tank the tank battles and absorbing energy they were horrible the later tank was all right it had wet storage ammo and shit like that but the original sermons were just in my opinion garbage for the soldiers. The two men that I know that were in the tanks Colonel Robertson retired and my great-uncle Valdez in the Big Red One armor. They both had shrapnel wounds all over their torso and arms God knows where else. I have nothing but respect for them but I just can't imagine what they we're thinking they were determined to win, and they did, and we will always owe them for that.

The City of Berlin logo (the Standing Bear) looks almost new on the rear of the Tiger.

It is preserved, clearly. Like all the other displays. Not everything old can simply be restored to working condition, nor should it. Misses the whole point of the entire static display collection in the first place.

@@SportbikerNZ So let it rust away where its at? Once these are gone, there are NO more.... Just like old cars that people let sit in fields that rot away.... Somebody this and at least put it inside..

@@ricksmith4736 Read. It's not rusting away. It is preserved like all the other displays.

Watch the videos from the Australian Armor and Artillery museum. Some of you think that 80 year old tank parts are just sitting around. Watch the videos on the restoration for the Stug III and it will give you an idea as to what it takes to restore these AFVs. The costs are enormous and they can sell for millions. Most of the German vehicles went to scrap yards after the war.

@@SportbikerNZ Actually in one hole you can see inside the floor appears to have rusted away in parts. Not much left inside by the looks of it.

Yes. Perhaps one of the few Tigers who were in the Courland Pocket at the end of the war.

RT, for sure

Tank range

I don't think the QF 25 pounder was designed for anti-tank work. There were other anti-tank guns and ammo combinations that could penetrate them head-on.

@@barryj388 Exactly, 17pdr, with a higher velocity, had a much better chance of penetrating than the 25 ... even if they made AP shells for it.

The 25 pounder did have ap and apbc rounds. The guns that fired anti tank rounds used a super charge and those are the guns with the muzzle brake - sexton. The tiger 2 rolled up to 25 yards on the Canadian Sexton. That is the Tiger 2 with the dents on the glacis in one of the museums. I say again, there were no guns that penned the Tiger 2 frontally. A Russian 152mm HE might have smashed the front of a Tiger 2, but they never met. I'll ask Peter S and see what he says. The 152 HE would decimate a Tiger 1 with one shot. The Russian 100mm and 122mm guns would take 3-4 shots to bust the corner welds on tiger 2. Anyone whom starts a sentence with "I don't think .." probably really knows nothing about the subject - Paul Harrell. I suggest you both go do some reading and some math.

She's about 2 quarts low. ✌️❤️🍺

Other than the ambush on whitmann.

@@kurtjammer9568 That's still open for debate. I think everyone got a piece of him.

Air power took out very few Tigers overall.

@RW4X4X3006 A Canadian Sherman got Wittmann's 007 on his left flank from close range. A British Firefly got three closer Tigers (009, 314 and 312). This is now beyond doubt, except for people who are desperate for it to have been the Firefly. Wittmann was too far away from the Firefly.

This one survived the war in quite good condition then it was at the fire range target destroy with the post war anti tank ammunition

Sherman Firefly could take out the Tiger 1 with an special shell. And there were many ways to take out a tiger. But a ton of allied tanks were outgunned by the tiger.

one of the side shots was a HEAT round. probably a RPG/7
