  There's no mention of tank crews and experience. The Russians have lost nearly all of their experienced tank crews and now are quickly training inexperienced personnel who can barely operate the tanks let alone grasp tank tactics.

  A couple years ago Ukrainian Trainees in German asked the German army which was training them. “What do we do if we encounter a mine field?” “Go around it” was the German answer. The boys in Ukraine are doomed

  I appreciate your information. I have read his book "Death Traps" and thought it was accurate. Apparently it was not based on your discoveries. I shan't discredit Belton Cooper however as a source as I'm sure he was a man of integrity. His ghost writer on the other hand.....what a shame to take advantage of such a fine veteran. Thanks for the respect in which you treated this subject.

  This is kind of a dumb premise. NATO tactics dont work. ****** NATO tactics work when NATO troops use them. ****** NATO Tactics dont work when NON-NATO troops train for 5 minutes and then dont execute them with the full spectrum of NATO capabilities available. Yeah... no shit sherlock. Roman Legion tactics dont work on a moderm battlefield with cruise missles and 5th gen aircraft and apache gunships.. soooooo clearly Roman Legion tactixs just generall dont work right? 🤦‍♂️

  I visited Omaha Beach and spoke with a French historian who showed me on the map where a single MG position on the ridge was able to shoot down behind the sea wall where the pinned-downed GIs where sheltering. As veteran infantryman from the Army, I can tell you that if I had an M60 wit 3 cans of ammo and a loader, that position probably was responsible for many, many, casualties. The Frenchman told me that the position was abandoned when destroyers came in close and delivered close support.

  The majority of tanks the British had/used in WW2 were American made Sherman tanks. In fact, there were slightly more then 50 thousand Sherman tanks made in WW2. And many were shipped around the world, even to Russia. Currently, 2924, the British field less the 300 tanks, in total.

  In regard to tank design and the latest threats such as RPV drones there might be an entirely new approach one might employ, what I am calling a barrel tank where it is essentially a barrel that rolls due to gravity. but can do so on level ground and even up hill. BTW, I just made and uploaded a few videos to my KZread channel that go into more detail as to the what, how's and whys these might be constructed and employed.

  I'm amazed that 2 years into the war, being confused by the way the war in Ukraine is unfolding is still a thing in the west. The Russian invasion of Ukraine resembles the Yugoslav wars 30 years ago, both in the cause of war and in the way its fought and equipment used, more specifically the part of the Yugoslav waged in Croatia. The main difference being the technologies available now, primarily drones, the amount of resources involved, and Russia being more directly involved in the war unlike Serbia which mostly stood on the sides and let its proxies do most of the fighting. Also, Serbia being a much smaller country without nuclear weapons meant that NATO could more actively involve themselves. But everything else is there down to the way tanks are used as SPGs and not as tanks, the same way they were used during the Yugoslav wars. And the way to end it should be modeled after the way Croatia was helped to end the war. Everything stood almost still for a year or two with little frontline change, just like it's happening now in Ukraine, and during these two years NATO went on to prepare and equip the Croatian army for a big joint arms counter offensive which surprised the defenders in the critical section of the front lines and quickly collapsed it leading to a domino effect. This should be done in Ukraine too, and the critical most exposed section is obviously southern Zaporizhia and Crimea. Instead of pushing Ukraine into an offensive prematurely, like it was done during the failed Zaporizhia offensive the previous year, NATO should have involved itself into equipping and training Ukrainians for a few years and ensuring that Ukraine has enough equipment and knowhow to achieve local air superiority over southern Zaporizhia and Crimea and perform a multipronged offensive that would both attack through the Russian defensive lines in southern Zaporizhia and perform amphibious attacks over the Dnipro river in southern Kherson, with possible fake offensives or just buildups in other sectors to tie up as much Russian troops as possible away from the main thrust and ensuring that Ukraine has capability to destroy the Crimean bridge for good. But NATO seems like it wants to achieve victory with as little involvement as possible and as soon as possible, and that has led to NATO performing lazy half measures for two years now and wasting time as well as Ukrainian resources and moral. If Russia were to lose southern Zaporizhia, southern Kherson and Crimea, the war would practically be over because the other territories it holds are of really low value for Russia and more of a burden than a gain because it would shorten the frontlines for Ukraine dramatically, free up a large amount of resources, render Ukrainian access to the Black Sea uncontested and render the western and central parts of Ukraine almost out of reach for Russian strategic bombardment.

  In a documentary about the defense construction, it was mentioned that the amount of ammunition was much lower than planned. It was planned by Rommel that the ammunition should last 2 days, but there were only 2 hours of ammunition delivered. Since the landing only had real success after 2 hours, it might be that the Germans were running out of ammunition.

  being in the US military changed my mind more than anything else. i saw the equipment and i was baffled that we were even sometimes about to get our stuff to work at all, much less win wars with it. my only conclusion was that the stuff that everyone else is using and that the people that they have must somehow be worse and more stupid.

  Soldiers in combat tend to take 2 types of photos- 1) that which is very common (KP, road march, building emplacements,etc) 2) that which is very rare (fresh fruit, aircraft on the ground, smiling civilians). Most "combat" photos weren't taken by the troops, because they were shooting things besides cameras at the time. Most were either staged by troops during a lull, or taken by PK/journalists. Journalists are always suspect, as they are selling "flash", man-bites-dog type material.

  Soviet-era and Russian-built tanks should be respected for what they can do...but it's the crews in the tanks that have vastly underperformed, and almost all of the veteran/well-trained crews were killed in the first year of the war. Tanks can still do lots of damage, but their ability to steamroll enemy defenses has been lessened considerably in the 21st century.

  Without watching the video, I can tell you that the majority of troops manning beach defences were certainly not elite. More capable troops were reserved for frontline combat rather than babysitting a beach but there were elite units in the area such as fallschirmjäger paratroopers and seasoned tank divisions but due to poor decision making, the actions of allied airborne troops causing confusion further inland and local commanders fear of waking up Hitler (yes, really) to inform him of events meant that these units were not utilised in time to make a difference because major orders had to be channeled through Hitler 1st. If these units had been left to seize the initiative under their own volition then there is every possibiliy that the allies could have been thrown back in to the sea.

  I think the Leopard A7 and the Merkava also have 4 man crews and manual loading. Like the British they value reliability and adaptability as more important. Besides, a well trained loader can achieve similar loading times to an auto loader but also provide redundancy in terms of assisting with other tasks and adapting to battle field conditions. Or so the theory goes….

• 
  @alanjones86032 күн бұрын

  Interesting to compare this with what is being done with the Challenger 3 where the MoD (maybe somewhat bizarrely??) said that they wouldn’t move to an auto loader because they felt the technology wasn’t yet reliable or developed enough. The C3 has all the spare ammo stored at the rear of the turret with blow-out panels behind.

  Nerds look askance at the Sherman because it is the world's most boring tank. It's good enough at most things without being good at anything. British tanks are fun designs with very unique thoughts behind them. The Soviets build brutal, heavy with poor quality. Germany builds technical dreams with wonderful solutions that are a nightmare to maintain. USA built a Ford Transit.

  Australian had success using the Matilda in the jungles of south east Asia. Immune to the Japanese anti tank weapons it had to face. In the jungle it's low spead didn't matter and being small it was easier to navigate amongt the heavy vegitation. Half had a flame thrower located in the main gum barre. In this theater it was more usefull than the M3 Lee/Grant. A Japanese soldier unable to see it but hearing it appoaching with it's machine gun and flame thower would have been terrijied.
