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?

    I have greater depression than soviet tanks
  • @Slakrrrrrr
    American T-Series tanks: Who are you? Soviet T-Series tanks: I'm you, but more confusing.

    13:26 bahahahah putting the suicide hotline sponsor on the war thunder logo lmao
  • @stephen2429
    The position of the exhausts became an even greater recognition pointer when we moved onto thermal imagry sights.
  • @spectre2296
    This will certainly make my Simulator Battle experience in Warthunder less painful
  • Me, an intellectual: - T-54/55: Upside down dome - T-62: Lmao upside down frying pan - T-64: Lmao uglier upside down frying pan - T-72/80: T-72 lol - T-90: crab with eyes

    Covering the war thunder logo with betterhelp was a nice touch
  • 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.

    As a Syrian 🇸🇾, I find recognizing the Soviet and Russian tanks is extremely easy
  • It's very easy to tell if a tank is a T-64, the road wheels on the t-64 are smaller than the rest.
  • @RH-om1ph
    Most T-84's do not have a large rear turret bussel. What you showed in side view was the prototype T-84-120 Ятаган. But T-84, T-84-120 Ятаган, and Ukraines most modern T-84БМ Оплот do have Варта dazzlers, which are a copy of the Russian Штора.

    Yes! Thank you. That was very much worth the wait. And while roadwheels are a great way to tell the different variants apart - my favourite way is for sure the usage of mental health. :))
  • DAMN! The T- series is my favorite of all tanks and I was so eager someone could've made a video exactly for this purpose! THANK YOU.
  • Exactly what my last Wiki rabbit hole was about. After finishing the MBTs, I branched out to engineering and bridge laying vehicles. My head is full of tracked vehicles right now.
  • @TheNicestPig
    alternative: play war thunder so much you just know at a glance. this is a call for help
  • @Benzo7
    Can’t you also tell T-54s and T-55s apart from the presence of a fume extractor on the T-55 but the lack of one on the T-54?

    9:59 T-90A has the "Essa" thermal imaging sight, not the "Sosna-U". Basic T-90 has the 3rd gen passive-active "Buran-M" IR sight.
