Stalins Weird Brother | Tenk Tip-A Yugoslav Experimental Tank

An interesting and somewhat unusual story states, that on the 26th of February 1949, while visiting the ’Petar Drapšin’ (Петар Драпшин) tank workshop, Yugoslav President Tito (Josif Broz) asked all the gathered workers if they could build a tank? Everyone answered aloud ‘we can comrade Tito!’ Tito allegedly replied something along the lines of ‘Then you have a task now!’ and so the work on the Vehicle A started. Whether this is the whole truth or just a myth, it’s hard to say. Even if true, it was a more or less a symbolic gesture, because the decision to start the production of Vehicle A had already been made in 1948.

9:20 I've spent hours and hours, sitting on that tank during my highschool days (running away from school, just sitting there, waiting for the time to pass, reading some books on my phone. After high school had passed, during uni time (some 3 years ago), I got laid under that Katyusha. Caught a cold, was stuck in a bed for almost a week. Point to take-don't be silly, wrap your Willy, but also, don't completely unwrap yourself if it's cold outside. Ugh... (edit) Katyusha truck, some 15-20 meters away from the tank, behind the fence.

Tanks for the info. I visit that tank every year when I travel to Belgrade and have always wondered about it. At first glance I thought it was a T34/85 but after looking and comparing to the other T34/85 at the fortress it became obvious this one was not purely at T34. I was able to gather some information about it being a Yugo version but your information fills in all the holes.

I figure the Sherman SO-122 would be a tier 8 tank destroyer. In the past I figured a good tier 10 of a Yugo TD line would be the paper design for a T-55 hull with a 203mm gun. But given the HE nerfs, I'm not sure how well "even derpier FV4005" would work. The tier 10 medium would presumably be the M-636D Kondor.

Yugoslavia was semi industrialized country up to WW2 and most of BDP was from agriculture, after the war, Yugoslavian economy grew at rate of second in Europe (behind Western Germany) and THIRD in WORLD as FIRST was Japan, second was W.Germany and Yugoslavia was third at complete growth over 20% per year for almost 20 years till 1965. Yugoslavia was founder of Nonalignment movement and as such was in position to market its industrial products all over the world. It is famous that Iraq's Saddam underground bunkers were all made by Yugoslavian companes just as Libya oil fields and not to forget, Aswan dam in Egypt was completely done by Yugoslavian companies. Oh yes, after Israel, Egypt war, Yugoslavia got the contract to clear the Suez, again :D

Good and informative video! About the M2 Browning .50 mount: if your statement is based on the pic shown, I think it's a .30cal M1919. The proportions are all wrong for an M2, but about right for the M1919, especially in comparison to the TC standing in the hatch. (Source: I was a Cavalry Scout for several years mounted on M113A2/A3s, and spent a LOT of time on and around the .50.) The M1919 in the pic looks kinda weird though, I wonder if it might be an aircraft variant? Good work though, and thanks for all that you produce....I learn quite a lot! (EDIT: above comment written when I saw the pic at 7:01; a different angle of another example at 8:55 looks like it could be a .50. Maybe they did both, at least for trials?)

BS fairytales about 💩hole that use to be known as yugoslavia. It's "industry" was never even able to grasp basic manteinance of t34 that was designed to be simple. In 1966, 800 t34 tanks were purchased per kilo from USSR. Half was used in active brigades and half was canibalised as spare parts for existing tanks in so called JNA. In 1972 there were still 1100 of these in active use. Even when the Serbian agression on other republics started in 1990 there were still 300 of these museum pieces in active use.
