Following my video on China's MBTs, I decided to delve into Soviet tanks. You know, the ones that all look exactly the same. In this video, using images from the Ukraine conflict as a reference, we learn how to distinguish the Soviet Union's tanks from eachother. The T-54, 55, 62, 64, 72, 80, 84, 90 and 14. How DO you tell them apart?

"certainly hasn't seen any combat" That is a false statement. The T-14 was combat tested late 2022 and again early 2023. Two separate battalions were used on these occasions, probably most of the finished tanks were included. They were not used in such a way that they could be permanently lost, but were involved in combat. The leaks about their performance roughly said that they performed according to expectations. "about 6 of these" Uh, how about lolnope? Add a zero at the end and you may be correct-ish. Some other sources claim up to a few hundred T-84s. Sometime 2014 onwards, Ukraine finished up all their halfbuilt T-84s and possibly restarted the original production line until they ran out of parts no longer available. "tendency" Not the modernised Russian models, as they have added additional protections to the ammo storages. Also, as we saw not long ago, not even the Abrams turret bustle is a safe storage for ammunition. While it didn't blow the turret off, when the ammo bustle got hit by a drone, it caused the ammo to start burning very energetically, creating a blowtorch effect through the screen between it and the crew compartment, almost instantly burning through it INTO the crew compartment. This also makes all the people laughing about Russian tanks throwing their turrets rather embarassing, as most of those videos are showing Ukrainian tanks, just with a minor photoshopping added to add a Z or something to pretend that it's Russian. Extra embarassing when it's a T-64, as there were no Russian T-64s used, while Ukraine started 2022 with over 1800 of them. Likewise, there were no Russian military T-54s or T-62s, only some used by the DPR/LPR militias, who also later 2022 got 200 extra T-62s from Russia as they had no training for any newer Russian tanks. We also KNOW that all those turretthrowers were not Russian, because we know the rough numbers of total crewmember KIAs in Russian military. And they're less than 800. Which does not go well together with the number of thrown turrets claimed to be Russian. Also, you forgot the Ukraine T-54 modernisation pack that they were going to sell commercially. I haven't looked at it on the basis of ID, but IIRC it is slightly different in looks from original.

They just get drone bombed or struck by artillery, with drone spotting. You are clinging on to an outdated meme. Tank in 2024 are support units and mobile artillery.

Which is funny because if you watch more than 30 seconds video of the parade, the T-14 was not towed away nor it was broke down. It actually continued on its own. The problem was that the driver was not familiar with a new electric handbreak which is engaged by pushing a button and pushed this button not knowing what the hell actually happened.

This brings back memories of long nights and days doing Vehicle Identification classes when I was an M1A1 Tank Commander and Gunner. Usually conducted by our Troop Master Gunner. We had to identify all NATO and Threat tank and armored vehicles from all over the world. Many non-aligned countries and newly joined NATO former Warsaw Pact countries still operated Soviet era tanks and armored vehicles back in the late 1990s and present. We also had to identify markings, camouflage patterns, and other modifications. Tactics, Training, and Practices were another interesting to learn about Soviet and Warsaw Pact tactics employed in combat to know what each formation indicates from defensive to offensive movements. Armor and Cavalry units can employ many battle drills and Courses Of Actions during an engagement.

I knew most of this already, but it's so nice to have it in one easy list! I mostly used the wheels to ID the biggest variations, because it's the most obvious difference. Then the gun and other turret features, as long as they're there to see at all. I never put too much thought into details like the exhaust and engine deck, or the IR spotlight. Now I'll be on the lookout for those too. This also clears up a problem I've had for a long time, the T-54 and the T-55. I hated how everyone always talks about them as if they're the same exact tank, and every time I looked it up, I found very little information on it. It's specially difficult since so many were modernized in ways that made them look even more similar. I remembered the Chieftain talking about the roof vent on a video about the Chinese Type 59, but I was never able to find the video again, so I'd been wondering ever since.
its quite easey to spot the difference of the manny soviet tanks. T-44 and T-54 and no where alike. T-54 and T-55 is tricky, T-55 and T-62 are quite recognizable by the turet shape and general layout, T-62 and T-64 are completely different, T-64 and T-72 are completely different (look at the wheels and turet shape),T-72 and T-80 can be tricky, but if ur viewing from the side and you see exause pipe that makes it a T-72, and if you don't its a T-80. If viewing the T-72 and T-80 from the front side by side are also very reconizeble. Another way to tell T-72 apart from T-80 is looking at the front driver view port. T-72 has a whole single peice, T-80 has it plit into 3 sections

The Leopard 2 is pretty distinct in its evolutionary designs so it's pretty easy to spot and identify (ie. composite wedges in the turret and the naked turret without them). Challenger 2 and M1 Abrams has their distinct ufp. Abrams has it pretty flat while the Chally 2 has a distinct middle in its ufp. Their turret is also quite different.
Thank you, I am always amazed how people can identify every different variant

Can you do next a video about the t90M or just the T series
Excellent video, straight to the point and well put together. Will definetly kept it on the side if I ever ID a tank laying around!
Funny because what I've been using to identify the more modern/ized T-series all this time is the disposition and placement of their ERA blocks, or some other elements on their chassis and turret, like the distinct diadem-shaped composite armor on the T-62M's turret cheeks, or the rubber "skirts" on the T80U's turret ERA blocks.
The easiest way to recognize russian tanks is by analysing the aerodynamics of the turret when it flies in the air and also test if a pebble can penetrate the armor, if it does, it's definitely a russian tank.
Also if i remember correctly only T-80 has skirts on turret ERA which is very visible
Very interesting.
Thank you. Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of tank it was with upper half part of it missing.
Another one for the T-54/55 is the running lights on the front of the hull. Akaik the T-54 never used low light illumination headlights, as is seen on the T-55 in the side by side picture you used.

Back in the 1990s, I had several exmilitary technical manuals. One was the antitank version. It had in the beginning, all major Counties APC, TANK, AND OTHER ARMORED VEHICLES BOTH WHEELED AND TRACKED. Then it should "ALL TYPES" of anti armor weapons and several improvised things that can be used. Then how to set up differentsim situations where there what can be done to stop Armour. And the was when we were worried about the WARSAW PACT Countries
Well things you can say about the T-14's competition in Ukraine: 1). Burning 2). On display 3). Turret present, hull gone 4). Kept to show potential purchasers what they're buying (the 5-6 Oplot-Ms around) even as Kharkov isn't far off falling to the Russians (so bye bye ability to make T-84 hulls at all) Also, it's not really surprising the T-55s and T-62s are kicking around when NATO thought it was a good idea to send Ukraine Leopard 1A5s which are complete deathtraps today (there's some antimateriel rifles that will penetrate their hull and turret sides).

it would be interesting to see other t series tanks that are even older, for example, the t44 though whence you get that old it starts getting more obvious, i'd also be surprised if any destroyed tank hull is found with a pike nose, that would indicate it being a cold war heavy tank, such things would probably never show up but you never know
Interesting: the T-72B3 has characteristic cutouts under the cheekbones of the tower, which are usually not covered by anything.

Great video. It's actually funny for me cause a month ago I made a presentation to my unit about how to identify russian vehicles and I used a lot of the same photos you did. I do have a few pointers though. I'd argue that the only tank people should remember having a unique fording tube it the T80. I've see quite a few photos where the T64s tubes "bend" is not visible, or that whole tube is hidden behind another fording tube (sometimes the T64 has either 2 or maybe it's the same tube but disassembled. tbh idk, its a weird one as far as Russian tank fording tubes go). For other tanks (and this is a lesson i learnt from error) they all have almost identically looking tubes, and their place on the turret is not standard. Ive seen all of them have their tubes mounted on different parts of the turret. Now for the exhausts. The exhaust on the T90 *SOMETIMES* is a different shape than the T72. Most of the photos ive seen show the T90 having a more straight-boxy exhaust shape, while the T72s exhaust always extends out a bit more and and is bent down. Another thing you mightve wanted to mention are those meteorological poles that you can see in the photos on the T90 and the T80UK turrets. I'm pretty sure I've seen them on a T72 somewhere too but i might be missremembering. For the T55 and T62 ive never seen any newer tanks have those bent-upwards holding handles that you can see on the T55 and T64 turrets, but its a minor detail and some of the photos ive seen have them removed. I absolutely loved the video though, and i actually didnt even know about a few of those details that you listed myself, so great job!

T-Series is a weird choice of words, because every production Soviet tank apart from IS and KV was a T-something.
Great video as always! Maybe a video on Ukrainian tank development in the future? There's a bunch of interesting designs.
Let's go!
You should do a sequel for identifying BTR variants.
11:02 TIL the UK is just the command variant of the U. Only took me 2 years! XD Thanks man.
keep in mind that many ukrainian T-64s are upgraded to the obr.2017 (or obr.2022) variant which removes the IR searchlight on the right side of the turret. though it can still be differentiated due to the other factors (such as wheels, engine deck, etc) as well as the prominant and distinct ERA arrangement found on many the upgraded T-64BVs
No point in identifying when they all have the same weak point that helps you enter in the international turret tossing competition
You forgot the spining turret identification for the t-14.
I am sorry to say but the tank that you have 10:43 is not a T 84. It's a T 80 with a new turret with a N.A.T.O. standard 120mm gun and a bustle auto loader. I just watched a video about it no more than two hours ago on a channel called RedEffect
I wish I had learned things in school as well as the difference between Soviet Tanks in this video
The T-14 is absolutely good, not the best pen but amazing armour, if there was no hull MG it would be way scarier.

Ukrainian army often uses Wehrmacht/Nazi-inspired symbols on their vehicles and uniforms (Balkenkreutz, Nazi eagles, etc.).

@@Postoronniy Bundeswehr is not Nazi. The Nazi era Iron Cross looks different, too. Germany is now a democratic country with strict anti-fascist governance and has been for eight decades. Ukrainians regularly train with Germans since the invasion of Crimea by Russia - many units adopt symbols of their hosts and the traditions of their trainers and partners. This is common in military culture, especially in Europe and America. USA adopted the maroon beret for paratroopers from the British, for example.

@Dark-Mustang This is the white cross outline that Wehrmacht used on its vehicles in 1939-42. There were also badges with the Third Reich eagle, either with the original Nazi Swastika or Ukrainian trident instead of it. There were passport covers with "Reichskommissariat Ukraine" emblem on them. There were straight up Swastikas on uniforms or vehicles (one Bradley was caught on video with it recently), etc. Many Ukrainian soldiers are neonazis, and have been using such imagery long before the current war.
