Tanks: On the Battlefields of the World Wars - Ep 1 | Documentary
Ғылым және технология
Tanks are fighting machines designed to destroy. From World War I to World War II, tanks became more and more powerful.
Since their invention at the beginning of the 20th century, tanks have also been a solid element in the omnipotence fantasies of state leaders and dictators. For the past 100 years, tanks have undoubtedly been the backbone of every land army.
The huge vehicles have long since found their way into global culture - whether as a monument, in films or on billboards. Tanks like the Tiger, Sherman, Abrams or T-72 have made history and have themselves become part of the story. But why were they even developed? How and why did you start triumphant?
Military experts know: with the first tank battle 1918 began a new era of the warfare. At the same time, the fighting machines entered the culture and were exploited for propaganda purposes. Tanks are still weapons and symbols at the same time.
The tank documentary "The Tank: Weapon of the 20th Century" follows up the formation of the tank in the early 20th century and its work on the battlefields of the two world wars.

You can't have documentaries like this anymore. much to General. Now it has to be a 20 minute special just on the tracks of a certain specific tank. With all the experts piping in.
Tank you! Merry Christmas!
best documentaries keep it up
The Reault FT is the most important tank in history, every successful tank since has used this basic layout. Low tracks, engine at the back driver at the front and comander/sensors and main armourment in a 360 degree rotatable turret on top.

Merkava's engine is on front for extra crew protection.
“It is almost exclusively men who succumb to the fascination of tanks” Don’t forget Japanese high school girls…. There’s an anime called Girls und Panzers. Weird but good.

I love tanks. I think every small boy played tank wars, I'm lucky enough to live close to the Tank Museum at Bovington UK but..... Masters of rhe Battlefield? Maybe a decade ago yes, not now. Ukraine's army has shown you can effectively take out a multi-million £ $ € tank and supporting armoured vehicles with a £20,000 manpad or a well placed mortar shell dropped from a £500 DJi drone.

They've said tanks are obsolete after ever war since WWI. How else are you going to get good artillery up to the front if not in a tank? Self-propelled artillery get destroyed by tanks with turrets.
Brilliant work done here!
Man I love this channel... I keep coming across older videos I haven't seen yet and can't help but watch immediately
A must see video if you love tanks. The Germans had the amazing 88mm tank gun however America did produce a few tanks in 45 with a 90mm gun. And America produced 50,000 M4 Shermans tanks too.

Really more into ww2 tanks but they are all interesting.
I wonder how many times capital has to tape his driver during war,Tank has come a long way and today here we are.
If it doesn't hold water, it's not a real tank.
Merry Christmas H&C🎅❤️

IMO. The Kv1 was a better tank, and it was passed over in Stalin's mind. The Kv85, was tank perfection for the Soviet army. The SU152 could destroy anything, no need for a tank to do everything.
Good doco whish there was a part 2 but even if there was and a also a part 3 its okay being a tank nut I know anyway what happens after WW2 up until today but still not bad vid.
Wouldn't want to be in an enemy tank with an 🇺🇸 A-10 ⚡Thunderbolt II (Warthog) on the prowl overhead. 👋🏻 💥🎯🔥⚰ 🥀 ☠

Lol. Well, that question "has the battle tank lost its relevance in war," didn't age well -- considering that the tank has been the main tool of the Russian Army in the last 12 months against Ukraine.
its fun until you get killed in a tank
