Projection and facade is all they live for. Their whole morality and personality is (or perhaps was) just potemkin's village.

To be fair and hate to say it, the other way round we also not get to see. The curse of filter bubbles.

But also also, this display on the red square is beyond ridiculous. Sadly supported by western pro-russian propagandists.

I bet this upcoming parade on the 9th they will drag those out to show off for the parade this year. Last year they rolled out a single T34 and it was the meme last year.

It‘s so funny how they brag about this almost as if they forgot about the thousands of tanks and IFVs falling into Ukrainian hands back in 2022 making Russia one of the biggest donators of military equipment to Ukraine wolrdwide.

Gaijin : Behold, god awful damage model

It is a cool little video

Only reason the bmps survived was the massive dust cloud caused by the lead tank exploding. They were well hidden from the T-64.

​@@jimmiller5600it's called suicidal smoke screen

@@jimmiller5600 Yeah but the Ukraine tank could have given chase,, The smoke screen only stays for a few seconds, Should have given chase

Neither side in this war has any idea how to use armor. It's like two kids flapping their arms at each other.

The t64 of Ukraine are on par with T72. Theyre better than the standard one

They got production up and unning last year. Current estimates are about 10 produced each month. Took them forever since the previous production was in Kharkiv.

@@suchomimus9921 not really. T-64BV 1985 per se is actually worse than T-72B. But I believe Russia still trains their crew like how they did on a 1985-89 scenario so

@@somerandomboibackup6086 tank crew take 4-6 months to train if you want them competent and have a chance to survive. its why you see that russian tank go up in a cook off. they likely have 4 weeks training and have tunnel vision and no situational awareness.

@@giovanni-ed7zq Additionally T-72A/B/B3 still does NOT have a stabilized commander sight, rendering him blind (he's required to close the hatch in Soviet doctrine) unlike T-64BV/BMs and T-80U/BVMs which do have them

At short range even heavy armour cant resist that big gun.

Yes, a very cool and rare video

Regardless, your first shot and you get that result...a beast of a tank commander!

Modern armour penetration figures are usually cited at 1000m and this is a good deal closer than that. Think of the cruiser guns at Guadalcanal -- they weren't supposed to be able to penetrate battleship armour at the kind of ranges battleships were intended to fight (something like 12,000 yards and over) but when the actual ranges in play were just hundreds or even dozens or metres, those cruiser rounds got through all but the thickest parts of the battleships' belt armour.

Wait until they start sending T-62Ms out in front.

Russia's resorting to human wave tactics and pure numbers of untrained barely capable troops is affecting all their other capabilities like training competent tanks crews, as you can see here

👍

Se nota que no tenes idea de temas militares.

Don't forget that the T-64 was always a Ukrainian tank, the T-72 was its rival from the Urals.

And Ukraine has access to French made combat optics. Having both image intensification ("night vision") and thermal imaging (of actual modern quality) is borderline a cheat code when the enemy doesn't have them (or has them in "glorious superior Russian quality to which the West has no analogue").

There are intense drone fights overhead and Ukraine usually wins those and gets the observation advantage. Chances are the Ukrainian Tank was in contact with a drone giving it an advantage.

Neither Ukraine nor Russia has any idea how to use armor. They really have no idea what they're doing at all. Two poorly training, conscript armies slugging it out.

@@donwyoming1936 Nonsense. Ukraine has consistently shown superior tactics than the Russians. The only time they sustained significant losses of armour was last year, when they followed NATO doctrine without the air superiority it relies on.

@@donwyoming1936 i think the russian crews have less training. they tunnel visioned and didnt have situational awareness. too busy shooting at houses than seeing the tank aiming at it.

@@slavaukraini404 No doubt ...i meant the Ruskies not realy preparing an attack....it is more like throw sh*** at the wall and wait what is goin to stick...the ukrainian forces are way better in preparing and guiding during an engagment, well being on defensiv helps with this and with their realy good battlefield recon it is hard to surprise them. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if you drop alot of smoke on such an attack and wait till the ruskies find their way out of the smoke...

Yep, until late May

​@@suchomimus9921 Best time of year, birdsong and blossom

one thing, video was in slow motion during the shot. another is that a round hitting does not cause an explosion like that, the explosion was ammo in the russian tank cooking off, so slightly delayed from the actual hit.

The t-64 cannot destroy the t-72 with a frontal hit

@@TikhonT. And an M72 HEAT round can't* penetrate a T-72 front but I've seen it happen on a real tank on KZfaq. Stuff happens and not all tanks are the same quality or sometimes you just get lucky. Ironically I can't find the video anymore but in my defense it was in Ukrainian. It was a static range not combat footage, BTW.

@@TikhonT. That very much depends on where exactly it hit. Turret/hull interface is both vulnerable & the preferred aiming point in a head on position. Lower front of the hull is also only 80mm sloped at 60° & thus APFSDS will penetrate.

@@TikhonT. it really depends if they were upgraded from europe. the t-55 ukraine has from czech has upgraded gun, optics and armor. that russian tank probably came out of soviet stock pile and just has a new paint job.

@@TikhonT. could have been a lucky shot between turret and hull. or the russian lower glacis is not thick and can be penetrated by ap round from similar era tanks. it may have been as the russian tank arrived at the woodline there may have been a incline exposing the russian tanks lower glacis and being thin and raised being flat it penetrated easily. inclines negate armor slopes as they flatten them out going down or up slopes and make penetration easier hitting flat armor.

yes, they were modernised and have a ukrainian-made thermal for the gunner

Exacty. Russky tank probly hit a mine.

The ammunition cooked off as the smoke was clearing from the T-64 round.

Both Tanks were moving, but they have advanced aiming systems that do the calculations. Whoever fires first wins.

1950s tech

@@somerandomboibackup6086 Not so. T64BV in Ukrainian service has stabilisation & targeting systems on par with NATO tanks.

@@GARDENER42 stabilisation is a 1950s tech. Which is what the guy asked for

@@somerandomboibackup6086 really depends, the ukrainian t-55 has upgraded gun and optics. its likely the ukrainian tank has upgraded equipment and the russian tank came out of soviet stock pile not upgraded.

Less producing new tanks, and more upgrading old ones.

i think it was a delayed ammo cookoff

Why? at the moment of the explosion the Ukrainian tank is out of the frame. I'd assume he simply shot a second time.

HEATFS or mines, ammo cookoff isn't always instantaneous

Likely ammo cookoff delay

yes we can deduce from this single vehicle kill that ukraine is winning on all front everywhere. they definitely haven't been plunged into an increasingly dire impossible to "win" war of attrition between nato and russia where they are the pawn

Cook-offs aren't invariably instantaneous.

Delayed Ammo & Fuel ignition ; not the first time .

There is often a time period between hit and cook off

I don't see a mine making the tank ammo explode. It's moving, so it would be hard for artillery. It could be a FPV, but more probably the T-64, given the distance.

@@sneakersnake8825 Like I said, impossible to be the tank due to the delay. A mine is very capable of causing a catastrophic detonation. The dust kicked up from the shot the T-64 missed is clearly visible moments before the tank explodes.

it took about 4 sec from the t 64 fired the shell to the impact distance is about 300m don't think it was the t 64

Another shot I would assume since the ukrainian tank was out of frame at the moment of the boom.

Not all ammo cook-off/explosion are instantaneous.

close range and big gun, most armor wont hold at that distance.

What part of 1600 m/s it's not clear?

mean while the orcs lost all the green areas on the map. and now taking TINY TINY TINY areas back at a GIGANTIC loos of soldiers , they took 3 streets in a place that had a a pre war population of 300 and they loost 1300 soldiers,, only a orc can se that as positive, all while the orc economy is braking appart, no one want to buy russia arms anymore,, or can, because the orcs are running out of it, the orcs artilary is down from 100 % to les than 20, in 1,5 month they are most likely out of arty,, ha ha ha the world will be so much better when russia has gone by the way the orcs has not overrun one single town, the ukr has made tactical retreats and let the orc pay with life for ever almost useless gain ;o) only the orcs are that stupid

Muscovy is not Russia though, and there are over twenty thousand Ukrainian villages ahead.

Congratulations comradski, you have earned 1% of your daily potato. Keep going.

Frontlines in the south and north have been stable for months now, no signs of movement there despite Russian superiority in almost everything

thank you mr bot, now go collect your 20 rubles

I doubt heavily that Russia who claims to be at full wartime production is only slowly grinding forward, could ever hold what it took by the time the west get's its act together Please do tell me how Russia will capture all of Ukraine before that happens, when they keep moving at this rate...

It's a village, not a city & Russia has tried assaults all along this part of the front for months without success, only massive losses.
