Tanks are obsolete, apparently since 1919 Military History Visualized 2022-04-12 | Since the Russian Invasion of Ukraine (2022) a lot of statements about the "end of the tank" came up. Most of these statements are old, very old and they show up every few decades, particularly if a new technology is invented and/or some factions suffers - for whatever reason - a certain amount of tank losses. This video discusses the various factors about the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and a lot of the previous arguments that often have not changed for decades and generally still invalid, since people forget combined arms warfare.Cover Image: (Modified)Destroyed Tank - armyinform.com.ua - facebook.com/iamo.armyinform/photos/70565494087783700:00 Introduction01:03 The current War in Ukraine05:22 Tanks were never invulnerable09:01 Tanks in the First World War10:20 Interwar Period14:04 Post-WW2: HEAT & becoming obsolete?15:09 Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs)16:25 Drones - the latest "Tank Killer"?19:42 Only looking at Cost22:57 Cheap & Expensive are relative23:42 What is the Alternative to the Tank?26:36 The End of the Tank in the Future?27:39 Conclusion: Combined Arms Warfare is hard»» GET OUR BOOKS ««» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com»» SUPPORT MHV ««» patreon - see videos early (adfree) - patreon.com/join/mhv» subscribe star - subscribestar.com/mhv» paypal donation - paypal.me/mhvis» YouTube Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/join»» MERCHANDISE ««» teespring - teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized» SOURCES «Ogorkiewicz, Richard M.: Tanks: 100 Years of Evolution.

Why the Panzer IV was NOT the Workhorse of the Wehrmacht Military History Visualized 2024-03-12 | The Panzer IV is often called "the workhorse of the Wehrmacht", yet, I looked at the numbers production and deployment and it just does not add up with some minor exceptions.Yet, the problem is bigger than just a wrong "nickname", since the name carries large assumptions about mass production (efficiency) and tactical aspects as well, as such the term "workhorse" does a disservice by creating concepts that are fundamentally wrong.We also look at the Sherman and T-34 in comparison that illustrate that the Panzer IV was mostly an "imagined workhorse" or "absent workhorse" not a real one.Cover Image: Panzer IV at the Tank Museum at Bovington, 2022.

Pak 43/41: Deadlier than the Flak 88 Military History Visualized 2024-02-13 | This video covers the 88mm Pak 43/41 (trail mount) and Pak 43 (cross mount). This gun weighs almost 4.5 metric tons and served with the German Army during WW2. Although it had a high accuracy and penetration, the height and weight were particularly troublesome. In this video, we look at the gun and particularly at 4 experience reports, 2 from summer 1943 and 2 from February 1944, which gives a better understanding about the capabilities and limits of this gun.DISCLOSURE: I was invited by the Tank Museum at Bovington in 2017, 2018, 2019 & 2023.youtube.com/c/thetankmuseumCheck out the Nashorn Restoration Project: youtube.com/@UCfAA4BgO3pqk4ikjL7m4xUA Cover design by vonKickass.»» GET BOOKS & VIDEOS ««» Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com» Tank Assault - Combat Manual of the Soviet Tank Forces 1944 - http://stm44.com» IS-2 Stalin's Warhammer - http://www.is-2tank.com» StuG: Ausbildung, Einsatz und Führung der StuG Batterie - http://stug-hdv.de» Achtung Panzer?

Cavalry in WW2 was more useful than we think Military History Visualized 2024-01-31 | Recently I received an email from someone that stated that in WW2 cavalry was far more useful than often stated and particularly that scholars heavily neglected the research about it. So, I looked at what Glantz and Zaloga wrote and added my 2 cents as well. Furthermore, I also talk about subjects, which I consider far more relevant in WW2 research that are extremely neglected.Cover(s):Bundesarchiv, Bild 101I-090-3947-16 / Etzhold / CC-BY-SA 3.0, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/deed.en, via Wikimedia Commons, Rußland.- Panzer VI "Tiger I" (Nummer 312, mit aufgemaltem Ritter mit Lanze auf Pferd auf Turm) neben Soldat auf PferdUS Alien Property Custodian, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons, Soviet light infantry tank T-26 captured by German Wehrmacht, commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Soviet_light_infantry_tank_T-26_captured_by_German_Wehrmacht.jpg»» GET BOOKS & VIDEOS ««» Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com» Tank Assault - Combat Manual of the Soviet Tank Forces 1944 - http://stm44.com» IS-2 Stalin's Warhammer - http://www.is-2tank.com» StuG: Ausbildung, Einsatz und Führung der StuG Batterie - http://stug-hdv.de» Achtung Panzer?

Why Hitler declared War on the USA Military History Visualized 2022-12-06 | Why did Hitler declare war on the United States in December 1941? The Red Army was counter-attacking on the Eastern Front, the treaty with the Japanese did not require him to declare war and previously he avoided hostilities with the United States repeatedly and instructed particularly the Kriegsmarine to "stand down". So why did Hitler declare war now? This video features Dr. Klaus Schmider from the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst who researched this topics over the last few years.Cover Images:Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-13774 / Unknown Heinrich Hoffmann / CC-BY-SA 3.0, CC BY-SA 3.0 DE creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/deed.en, via Wikimedia Commons,commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Bundesarchiv_Bild_102-13774,_Adolf_Hitler.jpgmodified by vonKickass.Mrrebel1453, CC BY-SA 4.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commonscommons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Usa-flag-3d-silk-flag-american-flag-us-flag-3d-flag-of-usa.jpgNoah Wulf, CC BY-SA 4.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0, via Wikimedia Commonscommons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:American_Flag_Waving_on_a_Flag_Pole.jpg»» GET OUR BOOKS ««» Stukabook - Doctrine of the German Dive-Bomber - http://stukabook.com» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com» Achtung Panzer?

Why Ceramic Armor? Hard but brittle! Military History Visualized 2022-10-18 | Ceramics at first glance don't seem be a particularly good material for armor, especially not for tank armor, considering how brittle they can be. Of course, there is difference between our "household" ceramics and technical ceramics, still various properties like brittleness remain. In this video Professor Paul Hazell (UNSW Canberra) and I talk about how ceramic armor can be used against shaped charges, but also kinetic rounds. We also look at strength and weaknesses in comparison to steel.Cover Photo by Cpl Tyler L.

T-62M vs. T-72: Really as bad? Military History Visualized 2022-06-21 | A look at the T-62, T-62M and T-62MV, its history, but also how it compares to the more modern T-72, specifically the T-72B3. It is outclassed in many regards, yet the question needs to be asked how much of that does actually matter in most combat situations currently in Ukraine.

Leopards 2 for Ukraine! How good are they? Military History Visualized 2022-06-10 | In this video we discuss Spain’s potential delivery of Leopard 2A4s to Ukraine. For this we particularly look at the strength and weaknesses of the Leopard 2A4 in context of the war in Ukraine, but also at the specifics of the deal. So we not only touch armor, firepower and mobility, but also logistics, training and other elements. Based on the current information available (9-10th June 2022), I don’t think the deal makes much sense.Several Images by vitalykuzmin.net url as indicated in the video.Disclaimer in 2018, 2019 & 2020 I was invited by the Panzermuseum Munster.»» GET OUR BOOKS ««» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com»» SUPPORT MHV ««» patreon - see videos early (adfree) - patreon.com/join/mhv» subscribe star - subscribestar.com/mhv» paypal donation - paypal.me/mhvis» YouTube Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/join»» MERCHANDISE ««» teespring - teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized» SOURCES «Zwilling, Ralph: Leopard 2A4.

Russia sent T-62s to Ukraine - Fake News or correct? Military History Visualized 2022-05-31 | Recently there have been reports and footage that indicate that the Russian Armed Forces sent T-62 tanks, a tank that entered service 1962 so about 60 years ago, to Ukraine. As always, I am a bit hesitant, since photos and videos showing a few tanks being transported on a train don’t mean much, since that is not particularly uncommon. As such some people claimed that this is actually old footage from T-62s supposedly sent to Syria in 2018 or transported to a large-scale maneuver. And indeed, when I did a bit of digging, I found various photos from 2018 that had certain similarities to the tanks shown currently.Cover: T-62M, Patriot Park, Kubinka Tank Mans Day 2019, Photo by Vitaly V.

Sabotage or Accidents? Fires in Russia - Map Military History Visualized 2022-05-10 | Recently there were several videos of fires and other incidents posted on Social Media that happened in the Russian Federation, most notably the burning of a Research Institute in Tver. Some state this was likely sabotage others state they were accidents. During my research there was at least one incident that was called sabotage by official Russian sources, yet this could also be used for specific reasons, e.g., to enact new laws.Cover: dsns.gov.ua This file comes from the website or social media of the Emergency Service of Ukraine and is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.»» GET OUR BOOKS ««» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com»» SUPPORT MHV ««» patreon - see videos early (adfree) - patreon.com/join/mhv» subscribe star - subscribestar.com/mhv» paypal donation - paypal.me/mhvis» YouTube Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/join»» MERCHANDISE ««» teespring - teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized» SOURCES «Fear, Jeffrey: War of the factories.

Why does Russian Explosive Reactive Armor not explode? Military History Visualized 2022-04-26 | There are many photos of burnt out Russian tanks out there that have - at least visually - explosive reactive armor bricks / elements that seem to be intact. The question why is this the case? Some people point out that the explosive elements were missing, but upon minor investigation this likely does not seem to be the reason. In this video we look at how explosive reactive armor works, we also look at Soviet / Russian Kontakt-1 and Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armor.Cover Image Original from by armyinform.com.ua, license CC BY 4.0: facebook.com/iamo.armyinform/photos/704543227655675Modified by vonKickass and MHV.Other Images by armyinform.com.ua, license CC BY 4.0:https://armyinform.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/photo1647257772.jpegSeveral Images by vitalykuzmin.net url as indicated in the video.»» GET OUR BOOKS ««» The Assault Platoon of the Grenadier-Company November 1944 (StG 44) - http://sturmzug.com» Army Regulation Medium Panzer Company 1941 - http://www.hdv470-7.com»» SUPPORT MHV ««» patreon - see videos early (adfree) - patreon.com/join/mhv» subscribe star - subscribestar.com/mhv» paypal donation - paypal.me/mhvis» YouTube Membership - youtube.com/channel/UCK09g6gYGMvU-0x1VCF1hgA/join»» MERCHANDISE ««» teespring - teespring.com/stores/military-history-visualized» SOURCES «Hazell, Paul J.: Armour: Materials, Theory, and Design.

The question is how good these tanks are and how the Ukrainian forces could deploy them.
