I think some of the rumors actually pre-date the T-72 itself. Short crew member requirements were an artifact of from either IS-3 or T-62 tanks where you had 122mm/115mm shells in small spaces. Arm-eating auto-loaders may have originated with the initial operating problems of the T-64, which would have been presumably rectified when the T-72 got fielded. "A great tank for robotic dwarves, but a poor tank for humans" was a rather memorable description of the T-62 from an old book I read.

@@eustache_dauger A few problems pop up with that. There is a reason my most modern AFVs have three crew. One person to totally focus on maneuver/navigation and forward, one to aim and maintain the weapon, and a final one to collect data, search for targets while the gunner has tunnel vision. Tanks with smaller crews were tried in WWII, but were out-performed by those with better crew job definition. Modern systems have only added more for the crew to be doing. Tanks are designed as hollow shells to contain the crew. If you wanted to make a remote operated vehicle, you would save a lot of size/weight/height by not including space for humans. Telemetry is the big killer for remote operated vehicles - and tanks are going to operate in spaces with more obstructions than aircraft.

A nation's AFVs reflect its armored doctrine. T72 suited Soviet doctrine at the time, just as M60 suited the USA. As a US veteran with a good friend who served in the M60A3 in Germany I can assert that the NATO tankers facing Soviet tanks in Europe did not think the T72 was a toothless tiger. My impression is that the opposition felt much the same way.

Thank god it didn’t. Have a close family friend who served as a tanker in the red army in the 70s in believe, he too had no desire for war and feared it just as much.

The Gulf War was an anomaly unlikely to be repeated and was a surprise even to the US. I doubt anyone on any battlefield ever while being shot at thinks the enemy’s weapons are ineffective or “toothless”. I know a few guys who served in Germany during the Cold War. They all believed they had hours to live even without nukes if it went hot. Unfortunately propaganda works for every side and is often how myths are created. It’s easy to trash other guys troops and equipment on the internet when they aren’t shooting at you. Gulf War vets that I know don’t talk about the equipment so much as the lack of motivation and leadership of the enemy as the main reason for victory. They are just happy their own training, equipment, etc got them home. I for one would not want to face anything in war built by Russia or anybody else for that matter. It’s all designed for the same purpose and all of it works pretty well for that purpose.

So the blast door is automatic. You use your knee to hit the door open button. The door automatically closes after a set time. However you cam turn of the door hydraulics which means the door has no power to close. The real danger arises is that if you get hit in the ammo you have no blast door to protect the crew. Edit: I forgot to mention the blast door has a safety feature that if it hits something it will automatically open again. However this feature does not work when the door is almost closed. I.e. the worst time to have you hand in the door is when the safety feature is disabled. However this is very rare because you can open the door again at anytime so idk why you would have you hands in front of a closing blast door.

The myth that crewmen for russian tanks must be short comes from the T-55, which really did require the gunner and commander to be 170cm (which was average at the time when it was designed) or below, since the legroom was very limited.

This is partly because they were so small in comparison and the Iraqi army was also in a poor position to keep good records once the ground campaign started as they were overwhelmed too quickly. Also, translated documents are very sparse from the Iraqi side and that makes detailed comparisons more difficult. All we did is count destroyed vehicles etc on the ground and compare to our intelligence documents about what was believed to have been possessed on the other side. There are few records available from the Iraqis.

Последний поставлялся в Ирак в небольших количествах, с упрощенной несекретной бронёй (самая главная проблема), древним оптическим дальномером, механическим баллистическим вычислителем, аналоговой радиостанцией Р-123 и двигателем В-46.

The fact that it's a tractor in disguise would make it especially lethal to a T-72

I had the opportunity to get inside the M84A4 during a tactical-technical exhibition. I am 1.83m tall and that was no problem for me. The bigger issue was that I am fairly well built, so my shoulders are a little over 60cm wide, which made getting in through the hatch a bit of a tricky maneuver, and that was without any gear. on the inside, it was a little tight, but not that really that bad. Yeah, I was pressed up against the gun breach shield on my right, but I had room on the left.

It's not just climbing in, nor standing inside an AFV. Try conducting Crew Drills, while in the specified uniform, AND with ALL of the equipment and ammo aboard the vehicle. Almost never are vehicles on display equipped with the "Basic Load" of equipment, tools, food, ammo, etc. AFVs get very cramped when fully loaded. Exacerbating the lack of space, and ergonomics inside an AFV.

As for all vehicules, there is a size profile for each crew member. If you fit the profile, you will be OK, but that doesnt mean comfortable Many things are not adjustable in a war machine, because it is impossible to make them adjustable. In some cases, it could be better to be close to the max size allowed to the combat station, in some cases it is better to be close to the min size. If you dont fit the required size profile, you are just not allowed to serve on the type of vehicle, and you are assigned to another position. As time passes because of richer food, average size of people is increasing , especially for Americans, Japanese and Europeans. So vehicules has to be adapted to that fact. If you look at WWII pictures, you will get an impression of the vehicules being bigger than they are, because the average size of people was smaller than nowadays. In any case, I would say it is better to be short and slim in order to offer the minimum target to any projectile or schrapnell... XD

I guess it could also be mentioned that those T-72M produced in Czechoslovakia and Poland although lacking all the bells and whistles of the newer versions produced in the USSR were considered to be of better baseline quality than the Soviet produced T-72s.

Part of the myths, came from the "Otherside" in attempt to boost the morale of their own forces. Ie why Russian using Auto-loader and the "Other" using Manual. Auto-loader chewing limbs. Operational and maintenance mode. In theory will never occur. Having served, you be surprised how soldiers (especially conscripts) get themselves into usual situations.

I agree with all your points bar the size issues. Chieftain on KZread Abrams talk states he is 6"5 and says he stayed comfortable for weeks. A T72 is designed to be smaller and inside you can see the extra huge amount of room in Abrams. He said he could drive the Abrams but was a Little heavy on the pedals. Abrams is a lot more roomy even with a loader. Apart from that I agree.

The T72 has been around forever. For awhile it might well have been the best tank going. Once the Abrahm’s and Challenger tanks came into the picture it was eclipsed and is well behind them .

Thats not a reflection on the tank!!!

@@unholyknight786 Challenger only had weak sides for it's time. The hull front was reasonable well protected for around 450mm KE protection, which was considered adequate considering the average penetration of KE projectiles at that time. The average KE penetration of Sabot's of the late 1970s was around 400mm RHAe penetration. The Chobhom armor gave it better CE protection and protection against HESH nearly double of KE as these were still extremely common in the late 70s and into the early 80s. The M1 Abrams had around the same KE protection frontally on the hull and around 500mm KE RHAe on the turret. By the mid 80s, testing with the newer 120mm guns and the newer 105mm penetrators, they opted to place DU Plates in with the Ceramic plates to better increase protection against KE. This was because the Soviet Union was running 125mm guns and based of the new 120mm gun, they knew the penetration of their newer 125mm KE would be higher than the M833 105mm's, so they calculated based off this and did a rough estimation on what would be required. The Challenger 1 had issues with such uparmoring which is why the Chally 2 came out quickly after the Chally 1 for the turret adjustments.

The only thing the abrams did noticeably better was with optics and firecontrols , but that advantage started with the m60a3 not the abrams.

being a tank crew especially T72 is just like being a submarine but on land. if you got hit, the chance of you getting out is slim to none and your body will be shared into small pieces. so the moment you buttondown the hatches and enter combat, it is probably the last time you see the daylight without looking at the periscope.

When they upgraded to T-72B then they exported T-72M1 (equivalent to T-72A). Export tanks were always worse than main domestic production for the time.

When diesel fuel gets hot it creates a big puffy white cloud so ESS on pretty much every tank works by spraying diesel fuel onto the outside of the exhaust manifold to heat it up. If petrol is used that would be sprayed onto the exhaust instead. Petrol, when it gets hot, doesn't make a big puffy white cloud, it makes a big angry red cloud that, to put politely, might be detrimental to the welfare of the crew. ESS is only supposed to be used for a few seconds to prevent a dangerous build up of fuel. There was actually an incident a few years ago when a Challenger 2 driver forgot to turn the ESS off and so much diesel fuel was sprayed onto the exhaust manifold it actually caught fire! Fun trivia: this is exactly the same as how smoke generators in stunt aircraft work, though they often include dye mixed into the fuel to change the colour of smoke.

In the very near future, kids will shiver at the stories of tanks that had to be operated from the inside of the tank

The detail that made Warsaw pact tanks totally outclassed compared to western tanks during 1980's was targeting systems. Western tanks had thermal cameras, while easten block tanks still had infrared light systems. Thermal camera can see through smoke. So, in order to destroy a bunch of eastern block tanks, western tanks would only need to shoot some smoke in front of them and the eastern block tanks would be blind, while western tanks could take them out at leisure.

oh boy, i guess myself being unable to fit into either commander or gunner positions in the museum of armour puckapunyal was just a visual myth

I'm 207cm tall and i was a Cv90 driver in the late 90's in the Swedish army. I was young flexible and blessed with a well proportioned body so it worked. The image intensifier sucked though as that was 15cm lower than the regular prism so i had to lie down and watch the intensifier from over a meter away. Luckily the Cv90 has nothing behind the driver so you can recline the back of the seat as much as you want. On a laugh we even put me in a Strv m/37 at the local armour museum this was a Czech pre war tankette for two people and i managed to fit in the driver seat, would probably have had trouble driving it though but the driver sat in a leather hammock so that could probably have been made to work.
