Noice and love u in Templin Institute Tank video!

Thanks for the like bro 😎

8:53 Most likely Willys MBs, although later Soviet GAZ-67 equivalents were also quite common. 10:50 An SG-43 could also be used in that role in lieu of Maxim gun. And again, the vehicle could be GAZ-67.

Less of Max following women about and more about tank production and smashing Gitlerite Divisions

Too.many KZfaq producers think they are still living in a television era with a wasteful open and close (they think it's cool, even though this not,.so they stick it on) that identifies and advertises the program coming up next. Useful for live television. There is NO such need on KZfaq. We know why we clicked on a video. It only annoys the viewer because he/she ends up taking time to fast forward past the useless intro. Wish those folks would realize this is NOT television.

@@videodistro A lot of them just don't have enough material to make a 10+ minute video so they stretch it. IIRC YT favors 10+ minutes. I think others just like the sound of their own voice and assume it's universal. Anyway it's annoying.

US hells angles biker culture was started by a bunch of WW2 vets used to rolling around and liberating towns bedding all the girls.

My great grandfather was also a dispatch rider in the Royal Hungarian army, sadly he died before I was born. Sadly I don’t know much about his service since he never talked much about it to anyone the only thing I know about his service is that he was in Ukraine.

I'm pretty sure my Great grandpa was in the Royal Hungarian Army at some point too, and he was a horse cavalry messenger or something similar, never really heard enough stories to know (but thinking niw, i should). Oh and yes, i said that I'm pretty sure he was, because he lived on Croatia's border in such a place that he has changed nationality and armies 5 times. Quite funny actually.

People really are too comfortable being proud of their fascist relatives.

@@DanieleCapellini ah yes ofc cause every axis soldier was a fascist right?

@@DanieleCapellini Well if you read my comment, i said my Great grandpa changed armies several times, and that doesn't mean he was fascist. He literally never moved out of his home but still ended up being in many different nation's territory. He also never really saw frontline service and was more of a rear echelon messenger on horseback.

Look up the tachanka battalions... Russia has a couple battalions of technicals i believe

Literally just off the shelf Hi-Lux.

@@AG3624C that’s badass, didn’t know that existed!

Could also do a bit on the Toyota War as well. In 1987 Libya attacked neighboring Chad and the Chadian Army used their best weapon, the Toyota Hi-Lux, delivering a sound thrashing of the Libyan forces. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_War

Leave it to the Russians and Germans to come up with some bad shit crazy stuff that just works. Sometimes a little to well but hey efficient and effective.

Hey. They were mounted in M3A1 Scout Cars or American M2 half-tracks in recon units only. In normal SMG companies, they were motorized, footmobile or tank riders depending on the specific type of unit

@iwfj giggi How ineffective you mean? They were solid combination of mobility and firepower that could exploit openings.

@@aleksaradojicic8114 they use their motorcycle recon right

Literally an American motorcycle

@@leethejuggler1486 owned by the Soviets, meaning it is Soviet's bike

@@leethejuggler1486 It seems like you've missed the part about Soviet motorcycle manufacture.

Like Max Max but with greater political perception and an understanding of their historic mission for Mother Russia.

Let's be honest, Germans started war with these :D

Mad Marx: Road Proletariat

If I remember correctly, for two years the uniforms of the Red Army were made with American material. And were driven to the front in Studebaker trucks if the rail system was destroyed in the area.

@@jeffreywacker3598 I tell you more from what i've read - USSR only have built 100 locomotives during war, but received 1000 by Lend-Lease programm. And this can be considered as huge boost for Red Army mobility. Studebaker trucks were heavily used for multiple lunch rocket systems BM -13(BM - 31) and totally USSR recieved 400000 trucks by Lend-Lease programm.

@@nagibochnik23 I remember reading the numbers on the Soviet lend lease locomotives, I just couldn't remember the source I read it from so I just didn't mention it in case someone asked for references. Those are truly staggering numbers, and I never knew the Soviet Union only built 100 locomotives (!) during the war. Thank you for sharing that fact with me.

@@jeffreywacker3598 Actually I was not correct in this numbers: USSR received 1900 coal-powered locomotives (which was 2,4 times more than soviet production of coal - powered locomotives, so it gives us about 800 locomotives produced in USSR) and 66 diesel powered locomotives (which was 11 times more than soviet production in diesel - powered locomotives), train cars ten times more than soviet production, and half of all train tracks used during war period.

@@nagibochnik23 While 'US supplied more locomotives than USSR built during the war' is correct. To claim that they gave huge boost in mobility to the red army is dishonest. First American-made locomotives (model S160) were delivered to USSR only in 1943. With slightly less then 200 being only delivered that year. . The next big batches of locomotives which where the EA and EM types only started being deliver after may 1944 with majority of stocks being delivered in 45 and after. Meanwhile the Soviet union had still a park of more then 10 thousand locomotives. Then things like the fact that not all Land lease supplied loco's (Don't remember which model) were able to use the Soviet tracks as they where to heavy for and only were used on rebuilt tracks. If anything you could make a case that post war the newly arrived stock played a part in Soviet Unions reconstruction.

Funny since Ural's official story is that they secretly bought six R71s in Germany and then smuggled them into the USSR via Sweden. Then heroic Soviet engineers reverse engineered the bike and made the M72. Though I think your story might be more right than mine. :D

My understanding is that after the pact between Germany and the Soviets, the USSR purchased the tooling etc for the R71 from Germany as it had not been selected for use by the Wehrmacht (the Zundapp KS750 and BMW R75 were the designs that won, I believe). As the fellow above me has said, the official soviet story after Barbarossa was that they sneakily acquired them through the Swedes, but that is a big old fib...

As such, they can be used directly under company HQ or assigned to other combat formation on need of that formation. They are outside those units for tactical flexibility, because like I said, they can be used in few different ways while other formations do not need there capabilities on permanent basics.

@@ahmadillo4959 ikr, i love using historical TO&E as basis to form guard units, and videos like these are a great way to see and understand the formations discussed, in this channel in particular they are so well presented

Ah the Tachanka

They did for traditional light cavalry roles *within* tank units anyways. The Soviets did have dozens of horse cavalry divisions during the war (like around 87 created during the war, probably about a third left by the end of the war) as mobile forces.

Thanks, now i'm imagining hordes of Harley riders with SMG galloping across the steppe with Mongolian throat music in the background

@@imtiredtiredtired I can give you Mongols on bikes and Mongolian throat singing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oLNol6Z4rtOaqZc.html There are ethnic Mongolian groups Russia (Kalmyks and Buryats). The USSR and Japan fought a small war over the Manchurian-Mongol border.

@@BattleOrderplease talk about these cavalry divisions and times cavalrymen charged sword drawn I heard that actually happened (with sun machine guns of Peru e why Easton that in call of duty vanguard?)

Thanks mate

There is nothing interesting about Croatian squad formations when compared to other NATO counterparts.

Its the Eastern Front, there's more to be worried about aside from the occasional crashes

i think mostly like high-mobility infantry.

Differently. Dismounted and on motorcycles. 44-45 Soviet motorcyclists arranged Mad Max in reality.

Their Military Ceremonial Band has to be heard to be believed.

@@davidbrennan660 Despite this, the Egyptian Army is vastly different from the one that met Israel in 1973 and has been restructured almost completely. So it would be a fun video to see. Especially since we never hear or get know anything about non-western army structures and organization, and even less so Arab armies.

@@BijiMustardGas Depends if they have sources around which they can work.

Yes pls, but maybe he should do it later, as Estonia is going to have unmanned tanks to support their CV90's in a year or so, making Estonia one of Europe's strongest armies. So doing it now wouldn't really be maybe that good.

@@tankart3645 alright thx ill wait

@@prezmrmthegreatiinnovative3235 I don't know when they will come. I think they will start to mass produce the Type-x in 2022, as it is still in it's final stateges of testing. Tho making a video on Estonian Defence Force and Estonian Defence leauge, will be cool even without Type-x'es.

@@tankart3645 alright

@@tankart3645 " making Estonia one of Europe's strongest armies"... Stop! Just stop!

As far as I know, only small, elite Special Operation Forces still use motorcycles and quad bikes, but only in certain occasions and on certain terrains.

The US Marines still use the M1040 which is diesel engined Kawasaki KLR-650. More militaries are switching to quads since they're easier to ride & more versatile. The Chinese PLA uses the Chiang Jiang 750 sidecar but I think it's the only one due to inherent stability issues of the sidecar design.

They now use atv for their at companies

Ura (ура) is a Russian battle cry. It is referencing that, not Ural.

@@BattleOrder So the video is not about the Ural motorcycle? Ok

Soviet propaganda footage tended to show as much soviet-made equipment as possible, somewhat similarly to how mechanized units were over represented in German footage. Also, a lot of the footage shown seems to be early war or even from pre war exercises: look at the almost total lack of PPSh-41s in favor of Mosin nagants (clearly shown at 4:25 ). This would explain the lack of lend lease equipment.

@@sator7806 Of course; I can understand the issue of available footage. I only do not understand the "American" in the title. Effictively it is a (good) video of russian motorcycle troops and almost as second part of lend-lease equipment.

The Soviets received 30,000 American and British motorcycles during the war and only produced 13,000 themselves. Early war and pre-war footage from before receiving all those motorcycles is simply what is more available. The heavy use of Harley-Davidson and Indian motorcycles in these types of units is well documented

Only people in the west say DP28 and I don't know why. The Russians call it the DP or DP-27

@@BattleOrder I didn't know that. Thank You
